Summary
When Cooper Howard finally opened up his family’s cryo pods, he didn’t expect to find someone else entirely: Courier Six, frozen for fifteen years and waking up in a world where her (known) life’s work has been swept away. His search for his family and her path to revenge lead to the same destination.

Summary
There should be a name for someone who kills both their parents. A label. A warning. If there is, Lucy’s never heard it before, but she fits the criteria to a tee.
In the aftermath of one of the worst days of her life, Lucy leaves New Vegas in search of a new purpose. If she happens to track down the ghoul along the way, then so be it...except he's not in Colorado, where she expected he might be. Instead, he's become an unwilling participant in the experiments at Vault Seventeen.

Summary
When Lucy imagined what her life would be like at the age of twenty-four, she hadn't pictured that she would be a college dropout and being her younger brother's legal guardian. Or that she would be involved in a music video for her brother's favorite band, The Wastelanders.
And she definitely didn't picture that there would be something about the band's lead singer, known only as the Ghoul to the public, that would take her life down an unexpected path.

Summary
“She can be determined at times, but as you can see, she is manageable.”
Lucy believed Vault-Tec existed to keep people safe. The Mainframe shattered that certainty and with it her faith that anyone can be trusted.
After a brutal escape from New Vegas leaves her injured and shaken, Lucy finds herself choosing proximity to The Ghoul rather than walking away. Between violence, barbed words, and the unbearable weight of what they’ve both lost, survival becomes a delicate negotiation of boundaries, leverage, and split-second choices that rarely come without cost.
As old secrets surface and new horrors emerge, Lucy must reckon with what it means to stay and what she might lose by doing so.
Trust is a liability. Obedience may be worse.
Post–S2E7 continuation. Canon divergence ahead.

Summary
The sink has hot water. That's a marvel unto itself. The Ghoul lets it run over his hand.
"The shower works, too," Lucy says. "I haven't checked, but if the sink works, the shower will. Vault water chips are an all or nothing situation."
"Huh."
"It's funny, seeing you standing there." Lucy sits on the bed they're supposed to share. "This is exactly like the apartment my husband and I were going to share in Vault 33." When the Ghoul looks at her, she stops cold. "Not that you're my husband. Obviously. Or that this is anything like that. Or that either of us chose to be here. Actually, you know what? I think I'm just going to test out that shower anyway."
The Ghoul chuckles.
A radstorm chases the Ghoul and Lucy MacLean into a seemingly abandoned vault, but. Well. It's Vault-Tec, after all.

Summary
You need to read the other fics in 'A Kiss to Build a Dream On' for this to make sense - at least, I'd say, Flash, Bam, Alakazam, but I'd recommend reading the others too.
A slowly defrosting Norm in hand, Lucy and Cooper end up having to take refuge in a settlement; one he'd done his best to avoid in the before-times, and isn't particularly happy about being in, now.
They just need a few nights, though - the chance to rest, check in with a medic, maybe send a message ahead to the farm.
Simple... right?
When they spot their own faces on wanted posters and come face to face, or gun to gun, with a bounty hunter, though... well, for Cooper and his Goose, is anything ever simple?

Summary
Before the bombs fell, Lena, the middle child of three sisters, was drafted to serve a tour of duty in Anchorage on behalf of the US Marine Corps. A traumatic injury in the line of duty left her with an honorable discharge and the inability to readjust to civilian life in her rural hometown. After their father's death, she found herself volunteering to become the guardian of her younger teenage sister, Mary Elizabeth. If she had not, the responsibility would have fallen to Nora, the eldest daughter, who was finishing law school and trying to establish a family of her own in Boston.
210 years after the war, Nora awakens from cryostasis in Boston, unaware that her two sisters had also been placed in a separate cryostorage and had already been navigating life in the wasteland for over five years. Down in Mississippi, Lena is told by Mary Elizabeth that Nora and Nate might still be alive. Deciding the gamble was worth it, they made the arduous trek to Boston and found far more than just their family in the remnants of the old city.
The three sisters find their allegiances split between separate factions, despite their shared goal: to destroy the Institute and reunite Nora with her stolen infant.

Summary
The bombs never fall. Instead, Cooper Howard plays a key role in taking down Vault-Tec for good, becoming a more exalted American hero and household name than ever. With his ex-wife serving a life sentence in prison, he just wants a slow life for him, his daughter, Roosevelt, and Sugarfoot. Naturally, he buys a quaint ranch near Bakersfield to escape the press and pressures of returning to Hollywood.
The young, charming, and bright-eyed schoolteacher named Lucy MacLean immediately catches Cooper’s eye. A divorcee herself, she’s responsible for opening Janey back up after losing her mother in such a public way. But the more he gently pursues her, the more she pulls away. It’s got something to do with her past. Determined to help her heal, he goes the distance to show her he’s safe. She’s half his age, but she’s who quiets his world.
Until Hollywood (and so much worse) comes calling.

Summary
Cooper knows he and Lucy are going to need help to take on Hank MacLean and everything Vault-Tec’s done. And he knows just where to find it. Trouble is, the journey will be long and the ‘help’ may not be interested. But he has to try. He owes her. And what better way to pay her back than to give her a chance at changing the world...again?
Or, the Ghoul once took on a bounty for the General of the Minutemen’s head. It didn’t go how he planned. But, then again, nothing in his life ever has.

Summary
“I bet you’d make a wonderful husband.”
“You don’t know nothin’ ‘bout me, Sweetheart.”
“That’s not true. I’ve learned a lot about you during our brief time together. For instance, I know you tilt your head when you’re considering all your options. Also, you hide your face with the brim of your hat when you know I’ve correctly called your bluff.”
Well, shit.
“Know what else I know?” she goes on. “I know that I could see myself falling in love with you.”

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.
