''Trouble'' is a [[Fallout 3]] fan fiction by ''Rustypaperclip'', detailing the life of Harkness the chief of police in Rivet City after the Lone Wanderer helped him out, and his unexpected interest in the boat's new barber, Butch, who has been a constant nuisance the minute he walked across the bridge in his leather jacket and stolen shoes.

The story is now completed at 47 chapters. It can be read [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6231462/1/Trouble here].

 

* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: Butch and Harkness had been tip toeing and snarking around just what their feelings for each other were. {{spoiler|But in chapter 38, Butch cries over Harkness' seemingly lifeless body, "Babe, wake up. Please."}} It may not sound like much, but within the context of Butch's personality, it's ''huge.''

* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: While Butch at first seems to call Harkness "Chief" out of disrespect, when other people start calling him chief too, he comments that he doesn't like no longer being the only one who calls him that.

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: {{spoiler|After spending virtually the entire series thus far obsessed with killing Zimmer after all the inhumane horrors he's done, he is unceremoniously shot fatally in the head and dies instantly mid sentence.}}

* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Butch gets jealous of Harkness' nonexistent sweet, blonde, brown eyed ex wife from his artificial memories.

* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]: {{spoiler|Zimmer's cybernetically modified humans lose all ability to control themselves, and become mindless tortured machines.}}

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Harkness refers to Butch almost exclusively as Barber. And Butch is the only one in Rivet City who calls Harkness Chief. You can always tell when a situation is incredibly serious when they actually [[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious|refer to them by their real names]].
