Justifying The Ends is a collection of Fallout: New Vegas one-shots written by Liangnui. The stories follow the adventures of the Courier (an Asian woman named Meda Li) and the various companions as they explore the wastes and try to build a better future for the Mojave.

Originally, the various stories were fairly disjointed, if in chronological order, but since "Nellis" the chapters are starting to tie together more strongly. All of the stories so far are told from the human companions' perspectives, with each having two or three chapters written entirely for them.

Tropes used in Justifying the Ends include:


Li: "I'm going to wear your head like you wear that dog's."
Li: "As far as the Legion goes, it just saves us the trouble of finding them."
Li: "What in hell made you think that was a one-time thing?"
