#unbreaking

For anyone curious, the only canon date I've messed with, as far as I can recall, is when McDonough becomes mayor - it has flow on effects for when Hancock leaves Goodneighbor, which I wanted to be quite young (21 in my timeline).

I've been pretty stringent about keeping my dates for the fic in the first place, because of the wild timeline of leaving the vault -> falling in love with a ghoul druglord in fancy dress (I want to acknowledge the chaos of it, but be vaguely realistic —if you spent every day with someone, and if you really needed someone, and if you had a connection and your ethics matched up, you could fall in love with them in a short time span! I'd be judgy as hell to witness it but that's besides the point)

And just for a bit of fun, even though it isn't front of mind, here's what my Scrivener looks like. This was the first project I ever used Scrivener for, and I basically still use it this way with some extra embellishments here and there.

I don't know if there's anything to note here. The chapter open is a chapter I heavily rewrote some time after publishing it, so the status tag in the bottom right 'Dogmeat' refers to a finished draft that hasn't been edited. I really hope I *did* edit it before uploading it but who knows!
