FC5 Fic Masterlist
It’s been a little over a year now that I’ve fallen in love with this game and I’m still having way too much fun writing for it, so I think it’s time to finally put everything together in a semi-official Masterlist/post to keep things neat and organized. Because let’s be real, Tumblr’s search function is a mess and things get lost way too easily, tagging or not.
In the future I’ll see about adding banners to a few of these, but for now here they are, divided up series by series, and will be updated as new fics are finished up!

You’ll be okay, I promise
Hi, meet Hana Vao. She’s new to Hope County, new to her job as Junior Deputy, and she’s trying her best, darn it. In town for all of two weeks before things go to hell, she’s not sure she’s the hero the county deserves or needs, but is determined to do whatever it takes to fight back as long as she’s up on her feet and breathing.
The following are in chronological order, but as new stories are added, the order here may change!

The Deputy starts to make progress in John’s region, and with progress comes consequence.

The Deputy’s been tasked with taking down Joseph’s statue. To do that, however, she’s going to need help.

The plan was to hit Boshaw Manor before heading north. Grab some supplies, a working car, and figure it out from there. Sadly, her plans never seem to survive the first draft.

4. Rest (and try to relax a little)

Adelaide is not what the Deputy is expecting, not at all. And with the Whitetail Mountains within reach, she decides it’s better to kick back and rest for once.
She just doesn’t realize how much she’s going to need it.

As it turns out, earning Jacob’s attention doesn’t take much effort at all. A fact that the Deputy wishes weren’t the case.

The Deputy makes contact with the Whitetails, and finds out just what it’s like to wake up after a round in the Chair.

7. For you, I’d try
Pairing: F!Dep x Sharky Boshaw (pre-ship, the pining is definitely a palpable thing here)

She may be short on cigarettes, but not on company. And on a night like this - up in the Whitetails, unable to sleep, and thinking back to that room, that place she can’t quite remember in full - it’s exactly what she needs the most.

8. You won’t be the one

Sharky has an idea. Just not one that the Deputy thinks she’ll ever take him up on.

Ch. 1 / Ch. 2 / Ch. 3 / Ch. 4 / ???
When events are put into motion giving her a shot at an impossible task - capturing John Seed - the deputy jumps at the chance.
There’s only one problem.
She’s not the only one dying to get him, and keeping him alive when even his own people seem to want him dead isn’t looking to be an easy feat either.

But if we go, we go together
After kicking around the idea of it for a little while (and reading some excellent takes on it here and at AO3) I wanted to explore the potential dynamic between Sharky, Hana, and John post-game, and ended up falling in love with it as a result. Basically the best kind of excuse to write happy, fluffy smutty stuff that I’m hoping to connect to Hana’s main series, and add more to in the future as well!

Movie nights in the bunker were always an event for them, but this time around they had something else to look forward to (and at the very least, a new flick to put on rotation).

“Well, fuck me, chica. You’ve uh…you’ve got something in mind, don’t you?”
“I might,” Hana said, running a hand down his chest, “because I was thinking it’s been a while.”
“A while?” Sharky’s voice was already rough on waking up, but now? It rumbled, the sound running right through her as she leaned in, only a breath away. “Been a while since what?”
“Since I’ve had you all to myself in the morning like this.”
-- And that opportunity she plans on savoring for as long as she possibly can.

John’s looking for advice on a specific topic, and while Sharky’s not sure he’s the right person to ask, he’s certainly willing to give it his best shot.

She doesn’t think she’ll ever get used to this. Of these nights, and the company she’s able to keep.

She’s got time to spare in the bunker for once. To kick back, relax, and burn off some steam, and lucky for her Sharky’s determined to join her.

We could make a home out of this
The Sharky/John No Cult AU that’s slowly become one of my favorite things to write over the last six months or so. Starting with I won’t ask for much, it was originally written for the FC5/ND Holiday Exchange in December of 2019 as a gift for the excellent finefeatheredgamer here on Tumblr, and it’s taken on a life of its own ever since. Even though there’s only a couple of extra fics added to the series so far, there’s at least four others lying in wait that I’m hoping to finish soon, all of which either take place during the main fic or after.

Sharky steals a boat. It just happens to be John’s boat, and when it’s damaged along with his boathouse, John proceeds to lay out a means of having Sharky pay him back.

It’s a hot day down by the river, and while Sharky’s not too keen on a break when John suggests it, a bet’s a whole other story altogether.

Ch. 1 / Ch. 2
Sharky’s plans for the day were pretty straightforward - get up, gear up, and head on out to Moonflower to see about getting his speakers replaced. So when he finds himself on the side of the road helping a stranded group of Peggies, he's ready to roll with it. Even when that change in plans ends up leading him straight to Joseph's compound instead.
[Set between I won’t ask for much (but just this once, I'd like you)’s Ch. 4 and 5]

4. To offer (and maybe even to have)

It’s late, and long after the fire’s started to burn itself down, John finds himself sitting next to it. Still there, and thinking far too much about the figure snoring next to him.

John’s got a question to ask. Sharky may or may not have an answer, because seriously, red is fucking red, and he’s not quite sure what the problem is.

Sharky’s day is off to a rough start, but it soon takes a turn even he wasn’t expecting. …And that’s counting the smoking, boar-shaped spot on his front lawn.
