Wow, great way to set the stage! I only recently discovered your work, and I feel like I've really missed out. So many under-utilized characters in Fallout, and I like this take on grown-up Butch :) Looking forward to more!

Loving how this is goin!

Sweet, Alex is back. What's her stance on the Brotherhood's goals now, I wonder. Viola, ehhh. Might just be that I'm too biased toward the previous protagonist, but I just don't like the SS as much as the LW. Something about how she's out of place as a soldier and in with the Brotherhood for her own gains. The story's good so far though, hope you continue soon.

Alex! I'm so excited to see her return. :D And I'm stoked that she stayed with the Brotherhood, though I wonder how she takes Maxson's overall attitude towards synths and the Commonwealth. I like that she's still laid-back even as the Sentinel, but I wanted to ask how come she's the Sentinel instead of Elder? And what was her mission with the west coast BoS to have her gone for so long? I like Viola's POV, too. She's still getting the hang of things in the new world and her inexperience contrasts nicely with Alex's more seasoned character. I can't wait for the next update!

Sentinel Alexandra... Boy oh boy. The Lone Wanderer is back in town! :D

Very nice work. She is defiantly the heart of the BoS from what I can see. And hopefully she'll be able to keep Maxson's privilege checked later on when we see things that we weren't to comfortable about his leadership in the main game. You guys know what I mean.

There are no words to describe how thrilled I am to see this. Follow-up story to Latticework Vagabonds? Butch as the new barber in Diamond City? That artwork you drew of him at 30 years old?! Sign me up!

You still capture Butch's voice so well (and you should really write more in his POV because I always enjoy your depictions of him). I love that he's come to Diamond City with a specific goal. He's matured, more seasoned, and obviously a great friend to move halfway across the country to fulfill a favor. I love the hints at the fate of the Tunnel Snakes, and I'm excited to see his interactions with the Fallout 4 characters.

And that last line he speaks has me in great anticipation. I'm glad to see Alex never stopped searching for Madison. I'm very interested to learn exactly what she's planned that involves Butch's assistance and Valentine's involvement. I hope you can post the next chapter soon.

Perfect start, and great work, as always!

YES, you've finally written a continuation! I'm stoked for this and can't wait to see more of Alex. The first story left me wanting a lot more. And Butch! It's been a while since you've written anything with him, so I'm stoked to see that he's included here. 30-year-old Butch - now that's something to imagine. ;-) Hope you can continue this one soon!

This is gonna be good, I can already tell. Fav'd and followed, I'll be watching this one closely.

Very very interesting start, I love seeing Butch being his (older) punk self in the Commonwealth. Can't wait to see where this goes.
