Summary
A few years back you might have questioned the wisdom of moving into a building with a nest of deathclaws right next door. Things as they are now, though- you can't exactly be picky, when you've managed to piss off a bunch of drugged-up raiders.
Your ma made sure to teach you the two most important tenants of life in the Commonwealth- don't trust anyone, and don't fuck with things covered in lots of spikes. Problem is, that seems to describe every asshole you meet, creature and human alike. It was only a matter of time before you managed to get into trouble of the pointy variety, and ma not even cold in her grave.
Well, ain't like she's around anymore to tell you off for it. You gotta take your mistakes and make 'em work for you, or you're not gonna be around much longer to make more.
That's where the deathclaws come in.

Summary
He wasn’t real, she reminded herself. He was dead and this was just his tombstone, which made her a little sad, but she didn’t really have many options for patient, listening ears.
She would take what she could get.
He wished she could stay with him.
But he knew she couldn’t. She had a life to go live, and he was stuck here in his grave with nothing but the endlesss, lonely stretch of time. He settled in, waiting for her return so he could spend what little of it he could with her.
A novel length rewrite of Lisa Frankenstein, with extended and original scenes , based on poems by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Summary
Brienne was a good daughter. An excellent student. An amazing goalkeeper. She was a rule follower. She always used her turn signals. She’d never even had a late fee from the library.
But Jaime, he was—a bad influence. Whenever he was around she felt her center of gravity shift, drawing her into his orbit with his golden curls, his sharp cheekbones, his even sharper eyes. His white teeth, flashing dangerous as a shark whenever he’d catch her eye and say, “I dare you…”
There was really only so much charm a seventeen-year-old girl could be immune to before she’d begin making objectively foolish choices.
