Summary
For Anne Grant, being a survivor is nothing new. She and her family survived China, after all. And thank goodness, because if she hadn't learned how to survive there pre war, she might never have made it after leaving the Vault. But now, her husband is dead, her baby died an old man, and everyone keeps looking at her to get things done in a world even worse off than the one she knew before. She had thought it would end with pushing the big red button, but maybe that was just the beginning. With the Railroad imploding, the Brotherhood planning a takeover, and the Minutemen under siege, Anne is going to crash and burn, unless someone helps her land.
This is not a rehash of the main plot. This is mostly before and after. A brief summation of choices will be provided in the notes when needed so that we are all on the same page literally, literarily, and probably also metaphorically.
Sporadic updates. Don't panic. If you are wondering if there will be more, the answer is yes.

Summary
“Truth is.” The 9 mm is leveled at his head. “The game was rigged from the start.” bang. That was the start or really.
This was. “Ah. Welcome to the afterlife-” spoke to a quote goddess unquote for a while before he was dragged out the grave and the afterlife right before that blue haired bimbo sold him something he didn't want. Woke up, got up, hunted a man down. Got caught up in all sorts of hijinks. Between the Bull, the Bear, and the House.
twelve years after second battle of hoover dam Vegas is independent and flourishing, Legion is breaking apart even worse, NCR has stopped expanding and stagnated. Things are peaceful in Vegas.
So why the hell is he out in the middle of Goodsprings with no stimpaks and bleeding all over the place? “Hey Lt. he's still alive!” oh yeah!
NCR sent rangers to get him. The Rangers were disbanded, he spat on their name and drug it through the dirt because of what they did to his father, they didn't like him fucking em over like he did. The Rangers are a small shadow of their former selves the same as the free caps payda...er... Frumentarii. lets hope he makes it out alive, ah well if not he'll just rock paper scissors the goddess for his life again...

Summary
War never changes.
But the people who survive it do.After 210 years in cryo-sleep, Nora Allen awakens in Vault 111 to find the world destroyed—and her infant son stolen. With her husband Nate barely surviving the effects of cryo-sickness, the two venture into the ruins of the Commonwealth. Their former neighborhood, Sanctuary Hills, is now a crumbling but defensible island community—and a chance to start over.
When they rescue the last surviving Minutemen and settlers from a brutal siege in Concord, Nora and Nate offer them shelter in Sanctuary. As they fortify the town and gather allies, a vision begins to emerge: rebuilding not just a home, but a new Republic.
Yet danger lurks beyond the walls. Raiders, rival factions, and the secrets of the pre-War world threaten everything they’re trying to build. With diplomacy, determination, and firepower, Nora leads the charge to reclaim the future.
Because rebuilding America begins with one simple idea: we fight for each other.

Summary
“Come back sooner rather than later,” Dez said. It was more of a tired request than a firm instruction. Another pang of guilt ran through Deacon. He wished she could rest. He patted her shoulder as he passed her.
“Will do, boss. Gonna check up on the Slog and a few others.” It wasn’t a lie. He would check on the Slog and a few others. It was just that ‘a few others’ included the vault girl. Desdemona nodded and took a drag from her cigarette. Deacon watched her shoulders relax just a bit. From his response or the cig, he didn’t know.

Summary
All around was a clinical feeling, and the air crackled with electricity from the teleporter. It took William a moment to regain his senses, eyes moving around the very scientific-seeming room he found himself in. It took him so long to get there, taking him months to get to this point. He needed to find out who took his son, who had killed his best friend. The teleporter itself was easy, made in only a couple days because of his pack rat tendencies. He's thankful he's finally there, but it was strange—too clean, and somehow smelling of antiseptic or some type of cleaner. The air fizzled for a moment before settling around him, and he kept his hand near his trusty gun in its holster. He tensed at the sound of the clack of shoes on the floor and looked to see someone looking like an assistant with a clipboard standing before him. She looked startled, eyes darting around the room.

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.
