Woot woot the first combat scene! Look at that tail trick coming in to save the day! I liked it, it flowed nicely and really encapsulated how a soldier falls back on their training in moments like that. Then afterwards, when he had none to fall back to to cope with what he’d done. Well written! I also like this DJ! Honestly one thing I love about FOE fics is now there’s always a DJ, and Shorty sounds like fun!

Of all the things I expected to see in a suburb, it wasn't a burlesque club.

Ohhhh you'd be very, very surprised. Fat City in the suburb of Metairie used to be the go-to haven of sleazy bars, strip clubs and questionable motels for New Orleans suburbanites in the 70s and 80s until it got upscaled. Some of the old haunts of the area still exists along the Mardi Gras parade route around Veterans and Severn.
