Summary
Deacon wants exactly expecting there to be *two* people who came out of Vault 111. He wasn’t expecting one of those to be in power armour. He definitely wasn’t expecting Silvia Ayad.
A story exploring a Lone Wanderer who doesn’t want any of this, and a Sole Survivor who just wants to find her son.
“He was not expecting the thumping steps of power armour. A heavy, mechanical step, where each servo whirred with movement. He could see two people- a woman in a vault suit, with Ginger hair and bright green eyes, shaking a bit, and clutching onto the power armoured figure at her side. Power armour always made someone taller, so it wasn’t strange that the vault dweller’s companion was over a head taller than her, and had an arm thrown over her shoulder, seemingly holding her up, like a sack of tatoes- but with more care.”

But they have their assignments, and they each have the growing knowledge that they aren't the only ones tailing the Sole Survivor of Vault 111, because the other is as well.

Summary
The journey of a hero doesn't always start where they expect. It doesn't always happen to those who expect it. Damon was never interested in being what SPARTANs represent: an implacable force for good standing as humanity's shield. Like most other third-generation SPARTANs, the war took everything from him. All he wanted was to return the favor. Sometimes we don't get a choice.

Summary
Designation: X3-21.
Occupation: Ruthless Institute Courser.
But for how long?
After existing for twelve years under the thumb of the Institute, X3-21 escapes into the Commonwealth; a rogue Courser with no objective but what he makes for himself, and finds himself unexpectedly leading hundreds of blood-thirsty raiders in the dilapidated ruins of an old Pre-War amusement park.

Thanks for giving my fic a view! This is a story I've been writing on my free time for a while. I'm hoping to post a new chapter weekly, sometimes sooner, sometimes later. Also, please be warned that this story is mainly from the point-of-view of an Institute Courser, as well as a few extra characters who are less-than-morally-upstanding, so there will be several topics that might not be appropriate for some readers, such as torture, slavery, rape, and a lot of very bloody gore. Read at your own risk!Check out my Instagram for some artwork!

Summary
The burning in his temples comes to a climax, and he sneezes, so hard that his sunglasses go tumbling off and clatter against the concrete floor with a sharp, metallic clink. Valentine stops where he is and turns to look at X6. X6 stares down at his visors.
“You gen-3s sure got all the features, didn’t you? They didn’t have that during my time,” Valentine says, and pauses. “You, uh, okay?”

Summary
The sound of exactly twenty-three caps hitting the table was distractingly clear in the noise of the loud room, and MacCready’s abrupt laugh was even louder.
“Oh my god, are you kidding me?” he laughed, and Damien scowled. “Jeez I knew I shouldn’t have expected anything serious out of a Vault dweller, but this is down-right hilarious!”
“C’mon, man, I haven’t exactly had time for a job, alright? I’ll get you more if you can tell me where Kellogg is.”

Summary
Everyone knew what he was. That was something he’d made sure of when he’d joined the Operators, waltzing in with the confidence of a man who was about to die: “I’m an ex-courser.” He’d never seen so many bug-eyed people in one room—except for maybe one of his last days at the Institute, when he had the audacity to suggest that the people of the Commonwealth were not without hope. In a gang of raiders, he still stood by that belief.
—or—
An ex-Courser joins the raider gangs at Nuka-World as an asset. Working in The Operators, he faces animosity—but there’s a member of The Pack who can shockingly read, and his literacy sparks a friendship. -

Summary
He's blatantly ignored by literally every single person in the Institute - from scientists to Coursers to other synths, no one even looks at him. It's exactly what W1 needs, and he plans on using that lack of attention to finally escape.
Again.
Admittedly, he's escaped from the Institute almost twenty times before.
And every single time, he's been brought back.
