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.

Summary
“You knew who I was, and you still did all that. The Cooper Howard I knew wouldn’t have done that to me.” Lucy said.
“That was 200 years ago, darlin’.” He sneered.
“For you. For me, that was four years ago. I was asleep while you turned into… this. I should leave you here. I’ll find my dad without you. Thank you so much for your time, Cooper. It was great to get reacquainted.”
“Lucy!” He called from the couch. “Fuckin’ hell, girl, just wait.”
Lucy spun violently on her heel. She wanted to shout at him. To ask how on earth he was Cooper Howard. She had known him. She had been friends with him. She’d been well on her way to falling in love with him. How was this scarred, vile thing him?
“You’re not the man I met 200 years ago.” She said.
“Oh yeah?” He spat. “You’re exactly how I remember you.”
_____
Or, Lucy and Cooper met before the bombs fell, and are reunited 219 years later.

Summary
Lucy falls for Monty the traditional way: one month of Pip-Boy correspondence and late-night messages leading up to the triennial trade.
But not everything about him is as it seems.
On the wedding day, no Monty shows up. Instead, a noseless cowboy storms the wedding, kidnaps her father, and vanishes to the surface.
Lucy goes after him, but instead of finding her father she ends up with a leash around her neck.The longer Lucy is the ghoul’s captive, the more she senses something familiar about him that she can’t put her finger on.

Summary
The ghoul stands a few feet away, swaying on his feet and silhouetted by the gleaming rad-storm. Without a second hand to hold it, her finger sits perched between his lips. Carefully, he guides the bloody end of it towards his right hand, connecting it with his own stump. Lucy might have hurled at the sight, if she weren't so incensed.
A few seconds pass before he releases the stolen digit from his mouth, thunder rumbles, and then — by some bizarre wasteland alchemy that she could never begin to understand — he wiggles the finger. Bends it forwards and backwards and twists it as if it is his own.
Lucy should be horrified.
Instead, she's just really ticked off.
Or, Lucy accidentally resurrects her new boyfriend, and the Ghoul accidentally binds his soul to the most ridiculous girl in the wasteland.

Summary
“I don’t take drugs!”
“Mmm. And how often did you raise your voice like that, in that vault o’ yours? How often did anyone?”
Lucy opens her mouth to tell him no one would ever do that, but she promptly closes it instead. Looks down at 404 and buries her hands in her fur to stop their shaking. Was that what kept them all getting along? Not the peace of security, the comfort of food, the ease of clean water and a soft place to sleep? Why wouldn’t those things be enough to make someone happy?
The thought of going back to Vault 33 makes her want to break something.
.
.
The ugly truth is only beginning to be revealed, and Lucy MacLean is unraveling in its wake.
Fortunately, she's not alone.Series

Summary
Lucy is just as antsy, if the rabbit-quick thumping of her bootheel against the floorboards is anything to go by. Cooper thinks about resting his palm over her knee in an attempt to calm her nerves. He also thinks about licking the bead of sweat that gathers on her temple and slowly slides its way down her neck. He does neither of course. Not the latter, because he’s pretty sure their audience of dead-eyed secretaries wouldn’t appreciate it, and not the former, because Lucy hasn’t seemed like she’s wanted to touch him with a ten foot pole since yesterday morning.

Summary
Lucy and Cooper continue towards New Vegas in the hope of getting answers and some revenge. Things don't exactly go according to plan.
This is part 2 of a series so I recommend, if you have not, reading the first story. It'll make waaaaaaaaay more sense.
Also, established relationship even if they both continue to be idiots on occasion.

Summary
“Soulmate (noun); a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner….” Cooper Howard, ten, read those words over and over again, frowning at the boom like it had called him a dirty word.
“Marked (adjective) – The unique symbol that appears in the same location on both (+) bodies of Soulmates.. Any individual with a Mark is considered Marked. Everyone gets their mark by the time they’re at least ten years of age…” Cooper muttered the term to himself as he closed the book.
