Summary
Months after the whole continent of Australia has been connected to the chiral network, Sam receives an urgent call while on route to finish a delivery. A disruption in the tar currents has been detected, and he is asked to investigate. With an uneasy feeling, Sam accepts the request and soon finds himself face to face with an old enemy, who should very much not be alive. Unable to ignore this turn of events, the crew members of the DHV Magellan are forced to take Higgs Monaghan into custody.
-----------------------------------------
This work is canon-compliant as far as the main story of both games is concerned and takes place after the events of DS2. Anything that happens from here on out is me sprinkling my own salt onto the story the way I interpret these characters. Enjoy.

Summary
Turning into a god had been painful, but turning back into a human being felt much worse.
What hurt Higgs the most, was that in hindsight, he never had any control about what happened to him. He grew up as someone’s pawn and he would die as one in the end.
And now there was Fragile, saying she would give him a choice. But he knew it was a lie.
After all, there was only one thing left to do for him, one last try to take fate into his own hands.
But you should be careful what you wish for, right? -

Summary
Sam’s skin tingled with the memory of Higgs’s fire. He wondered how many times it had killed him. More than three for sure. Five? A dozen? More? Each time it happened Sam wasn’t afraid to repatriate, having become numb to the pain. And every time he was proven a fool when the flames roared to life again, their heat searing him anew.
He took his cock in his hand and wondered how long Higgs would have tortured him like that if they hadn’t been interrupted. It was a perfect trap, with no escape if it hadn’t been for Rainy’s corefall. Higgs didn’t have any reason to stop unless he got bored of it. How long would that have taken? Sam’s thumb circled the head of his dick, and he imagined how Higgs might have escalated things if they’d been left alone long enough.

Summary
Heartman scans Sam's face and from him jumps to Deadman looking at him as he paces. At times Heartman wonders if Sam will be overwhelmed by all that they asked and expected of him; the preppers to make trips from one end to the other, the distribution centres to be able to carry hundreds of kilos through valleys and mountains in sun, rain, snow and BTs, overwhelmed by what President Strand an Amelie expected of him and what Die-Hardman demanded of him. Of what he himself, Heartman, and Deadman asked of him...— he looks back at Sam —Wanted from him.

Summary
Recorre el rostro de Sam y de este salta a Deadman mirándolo mientras se pasea. A veces Heartman se pregunta si Sam se sentirá sobrepasado por todo lo que pedían y querían de él; los preparacionistas que haga viajes de una punta a otra, los centros que sea capaz de cargar cientos de kilos por valles y montañas con sol, lluvia, nieve y CVs, abrumado por lo que que la Presidenta Strand y Amelie esperaban de él y lo que Die-Hardman demandaba de él. De lo que él mismo, Heartman, y Deadman pedían de él… —vuelve a posar la vista en Sam— Deseaban de él.

Summary
"Sam, I know that you normally refuse human cargo, but I’m not sure I trust anyone else to handle this."
Sam didn’t need to know who his cargo was, he didn’t need to know what the specifics were of their past, or what would happen to them once they were delivered. The less Sam knew the better. It would be a whole lot easier for both of them if he kept his distance, and just did his job. Right?
~
It should have been like any other job. Collect the cargo, deliver it in one piece, and move on. Sam didn't like to get attached, and he certainly avoided making connections whenever possible. However, this delivery would prove to go a lot different from what he had planned.

Summary
Higgs was dragging himself slowly after him, forearms slipping on the slick ground, his mech squealing with every failed push.
Sam came to a hesitant stop, watching as Higgs slowly caught up to him. And then, barely audible, “Please… please, please, please…” A quiet chant as he hauled himself up.
Sam couldn’t believe what he was hearing, or seeing. Higgs, the particle of god, kneeling on broken legs, begging, eyes wide and pleading.
“Please, Sam… I’ll deteriorate out here. Like lost cargo.”
Sam looked down at him, rain streaming off his hood. It almost fooled him. But not quite.// or another one of those DS2 Higgs redemption arcs

Summary
As Sam contemplates the cryptic cards floating before him, he recalls Fragile’s words: “Timefall fast-forwards whatever it touches, but it can’t wash away everything. The past just won’t let go.” In a world where love, loss, and regret endure—and where forever isn't for everyone—what remains...
...is the need for a bridge to connect both sides.

Summary
Sam awoke to the DHV Magellan theme. It had been endearing for the first month, then became ear-splitting. He swore he could hear it in his dreams right before he woke up. Tar-Man’s voice came through the speaker.
“Hey Sam, have yourself a good kip? There’s something we’d like to discuss with you. Mind coming to the bridge for a quick chat?” he said, far too vaguely for Sam’s tastes. -

Summary
Glassveil is a young woman, originally by the name Eleanor "Elle" Veil, who was orphaned at 6 years old after a voidout killed both her parents and destroyed their prepper bunker. Homless and alone, she wandered between cities looking for someone to help her, living off of scraps of food she was able to steal or find in discarded cargo pods.
Eventually she was picked up by a man and his 12 year old daughter, Fragile, when she collapsed at the gates of Port Knot City. He raised her as his own daughter alongside Fragile, who had always longed for a sister, and the two became inseparable.
When their father died, Fragile continued to run Fragile express, with Elle becoming the company's best porter. In time Fragile decided she needed another porter to work alongside Elle as she took on more challenging deliveries, and she received great interest from a fledgling delivery company, run by one Higgs Monaghan - no stranger to portering, he wanted to work with Fragile, and was eager to learn from her and her company.
Little did Fragile know, this was the start of a tragic romance for the ages.
(There are tweaks to the canon story here, so please don't expect this to be SUPER loyal to the game)
