Summary
“I don’t need anything- there’s nothing wrong with me! I’m fine!” He’s shouting now.
Hancock takes a deep breath, closing his eyes. When he opens them he says, “You can’t keep going like this, you’re gonna destroy yourself.”
Nate laughs harshly, there’s no joy in the sound. “Who cares! Who fucking cares what-“
“I care, asshole!” Hancock cuts him off.

Summary
“So here’s what’s going to happen,” he drawled as he circled around to the back to access the zipper. Nora couldn’t help but notice the way he dragged his hand around the front of the mannequin's waist. It made the dress shimmer. “We are only a couple miles out from Goodneighbor. So we aren’t going back to one of yer little settlements, we are going to mine for the night.
“We are gonna get cleaned up, you are going to put on this dress – because it’s absolutely gonna fit – and we’re gonna have a date night at the fuckin’ Rail.”

Or the one where Hancock offers to shave Nora's legs with his knife, and everything spins out of control.

Summary
A Soulmate AU
Hancock never thought he would find his soulmate. Once a common occurrence, soulmates turned into a bit of a rarity after the bombs dropped. It was to be expected when there was an influx of people getting shot in the face on a daily basis. So when Hancock discovered that he had a soulmate he was ecstatic; all of the people in the Commonwealth, and he was one of the lucky few.
Too bad his soulmate didn't want anything to do with him.

When she thought for sure she was going to die too, the pain stopped – and then there was nothing. Nothing but the emptiness. Nothing but the grief. Half of her soul was suddenly gone forever. She was dropped in the middle of the ocean, drifting among the waves with no land in sight. Then just as suddenly she had been cast adrift, she found land. The hole was filled the moment it had been created. As she gripped Nate’s vault suit and begged him to open his eyes, Nora found herself battling with the horrifying realization that she had another soulmate; that some stranger had taken Nate's place.

Summary
She walks the line between legend and ghost. General, Survivor, symbol of something long gone. Strong enough to lead, sharp enough to survive, and just broken enough to understand him.
They share the road. The firelight. The silence that comes after gunfire and grief. She never says what she’s thinking, but he sees it in her eyes. He knows that look because it’s the same one in the mirror.
He could tell her. What she means to him. What he wishes he could say. But they both know the cost of wanting something too much in a world built to take it away.
So instead, he stays close. He lights her cigarettes. He holds her while she cries for the man whose wedding ring she still wears.
And wonders how long two people can stand on the edge of something before one of them jumps.
