    Summary

    “So I’m seeing things now. Fantastic.”

    “That’s what you get when you do as many drugs as you have lately,” Nate replied, eyebrow raised at her. “Unhealthy coping mechanisms, huh, sweetheart?”

    Nora bristled. “You’re one to talk,” she snapped, “In case you hadn’t noticed, the world ended. You were murdered, our son was kidnapped, I’ve been shot at by psychopaths and mauled by a monster. I haven’t had a proper shower in ages and I ate fungus for dinner. I think I’m entitled to a few vices now and then.”

     __________________________________________________

    Nora's world has been ripped apart and she's living on borrowed time every day, but she won't let that stop her from avenging her husband's death, rescuing her son, and rebuilding her life - with the help of the Minutemen and a shotgun, of course.

    Summary

    "You're not who we've been waiting for," she cries, sinking her nails into her skin. Her eyes are bloodshot and unfocused. "You are not our rescuer. Not my hero."

    Emily's been crashing on her sister's couch for weeks: she's just lost her boyfriend, her job, and despite Nora standing up for her, Nate would rather she moved back in with her parents. However, her undignified position comes to a sudden end with... total atomic annihilation. Having taken her sister's place in Vault 111, she sets out to find her nephew, Shaun, all while being plagued by visions of a strange, ghoulified man...

    Summary

    Sequel to Little Girl Gone

    Thanks to Lucy MacLean, Jacobstown held out against the Enclave's attempt to recollect their Super Mutant remnants led by their meddling, mutated, malformed apprentice, Henry MacLean. The big bad has been struck down. The day has been saved. Now, clearly, it's time for rest, recovery, and celebration of a job well done!

    Except it's not. Not by a long shot.

    The Enclave is still out there, Cooper's family is, too, and Norman is still a subject in one of Vault-Tec's many experiments. What's more is the source of all the trouble seems to be coming from one place. After assuring Cooper she's healed enough for travel, they break from their fake marriage routine and settlement life helping Marcus rebuild to kick off one more journey together into the mountains of Colorado.

    Nothing but questions lie ahead of them of what they'll find and who they'll see, or even if they'll run into anyone or anything they mean to. Only one thing is for sure: nothing's fair in love and war.

    Summary

    “Is everything ok, Mr. Howard?” the corpse of Lucy MacLean says politely, “You look a bit…sad.”

    Sad? Sad? Cooper has no way to see how he really looks right now, and would rather put a bullet in his own head than find out but the word sad couldn’t possibly cover it, this icy fire stealing over him, this monster in front of him, the uranium thrumming through his blood. The post is through his gut again, he’s impaled and it’s hot, it hurts, it’s all his fault.

    “Don’t worry about it, darlin’” he hears himself say from far away, “Was just at a funeral, is all.”

     --

    Cooper often feels like he’s in two places at once. Like the past is present and the present is past and he can’t do a damn thing to change either of them. No matter what he does it’s like his world is always ending.

    But this is still Vegas and the games are all still rigged. And if that's the way it is, he finally decides he doesn't want to play at all.
