The Red Lights of Fridgit

Summary:

Unprivatized for a while, enjoy!


Barry Benson's walked the block around Fridgit for years, but a chance encounter with Irwin Dundee has him re-evaluating what it means to truly live in Los Santos. Torn between obligations of gang life and the thrill of a mysterious stranger, the two navigate the weird ways they find their lives overlapping. However, the notorious and ruthless Chang Gang are not ones to easily let their investments slip away from them on such petty whims as infatuation and it's up to the Bondi Boys Motor Club to protect their Prime Minister and his Heart.

Chapter 1: Triggers and Warnings and Author's Notes

Summary:

A spoiler-free(ish) detailed description of triggers and warnings present for each individual chapter.
It will be updated as each new chapter is added so as to not flood the tags with a myriad of warnings.

Updates every Wednesday and Sunday 12am PST

Notes:

If anyone believes additional warnings are required for any chapter, feel free to leave a comment on this page with chapter number and trigger/warning required. You don't have to give a reason, but it would help me learn.
Thank you for reading!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

For OverlyEnthusiastic.

This entire thing, no exaggeration, would not have been written without “merrygo22 aka OverlyEnthusiastic”, who gave endless support and listened to me rant about writer’s block and entertained new ideas that I messaged at 2am. They kept me going when I had thoughts of abandoning this fic before it was even posted. They were the first eyes on it and helped point out things I wouldn't have thought to address, as well as cheerfully scream at me numerous times for the grief I put these characters through. Thank you, my emotional support stoat, for getting me to the end of the first big thing I’ve ever written.

 

Thank you as well to “R” for a more formal read through and catching mistakes that my sleep deprived brain overlooked numerous times. Sorry that my Canadian spelling kept conflating with your American spelling.

Thank you also to the discord degenerates who started this ball rolling however many years ago.

Additional Thanks to the Trash Panda who took the snapshot of Fridgit for the cover.

Quick Author's Note: In light of news regarding certain people, I'd like to add an overall disclaimer that R.B does appear in this work of fiction as a villain. This character was written as an antagonist and as such acts in this manner. 87% of the story (at the time of this note, I'm currently writing the "post big event and final wrap up" chapters) and this character's actions were written before this news broke and a rewrite of this character and his involvement in the plot would rewrite the entire story (no joke). I hope readers will be able to see this character as a fictional plaything, posed and given a script, as all the characters involved are.

Second Author's Note: For those who can no longer stand Dundee as a person (understandable), but still wish to read, I recommend using a browser add-on such as "find and replace". If you wish to do so, names to add to the find and replace is the full name "Irwin Dundee" as well as "Dee", "Winnie", "Dundles", "Dundizzle", “Dundiddles”, "Irwinnie_Dunditty". This last includes the "_" as it's a social media handle. (And feel free to comment if I've missed any.)

 

Chapter One:
