Summary
Contrary to what the Brotherhood of Steel believes, Arthur Maxson is not his celebrated ancestor reborn. The nightmares that haunt his dreams are of a different man, one who died before he could make a difference: Nigel Maxson.
When a name he thought lost to him crosses his desk, he realises that they might be memories.
And then he's face to face with her. It's her, the woman whose tear-filled brown eyes have haunted him since he became a man.
Sparrow Killian.

Summary
She was a legend once. Settlements defended, slaves freed, clean water flowing through a wasteland on the brink. But he remembers her differently, as the patient mentor who once taught him chess while he was being molded into a leader. She was too young to carry the weight of the wasteland. He was only a boy when they placed command on his shoulders. Then she vanished, leaving behind nothing but ghosts and whispers.
Now, clinics rise from the ruins. Blue tape stretched across broken thresholds like law. No weapons. No allegiances. No questions. Only healing. A nameless doctor builds them one by one, even as she searches for the key to making her impossible dream a reality. But the Institute’s shadow looms, and its secrets stand in her way.
He swears to save humanity from technology; she swears to save it from itself. What began as a boy’s quiet crush sparks into something far more dangerous, even as the savior of the Capital Wasteland takes up her fight again. She never wanted to be a legend. But legends don’t ask permission. Legends are made, one story, one battle, one strip of blue tape at a time.
Updates Mondays.

Summary
“So what do they call you?” Zeke asks.
I hum and sip my bourbon. “Thomas,” I say. “Maxson.”
No one bats an eye.
“That’s smooth,” Zeke says. “Rolls nice.”
“Mm, yeah,” Johnny D. agrees. “Real clean.”Thomas Maxson is just a regular wasteland cat, and anyone who says otherwise is lying. Ya dig?

Summary
On the Prydwen, power is everything — and Proctor Ilyana Volkov has earned hers through brilliance, discipline, and an ironclad façade. But one night with Elder Maxson shatters the walls she’s spent a lifetime building… and his panic destroys what’s left.
Their fallout detonates through the Brotherhood like a bomb.
Ilyana breaks.
Maxson unravels.
The crew whispers.
Enemies circle.
As Ilyana spirals into dissociation and silence, Maxson fights to repair the damage in secret — shielding her from sabotage, softening the world around her, and guarding her from a distance he’s terrified to cross. But his quiet devotion only fuels the jealousy of Knight Danielle Hart, whose obsession is turning dangerous.
With loyalties shifting and the Brotherhood’s stability cracking, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:
If Maxson and Ilyana don’t find their way back to each other, the Prydwen won’t survive the fallout — and neither will they.Series

Summary
Elder Maxson makes a perfectly reasonable and strategically sound marriage proposal, and doesn't quite know what to do when it is rejected.

Summary
Between her military service and her complex family life, Elle Douglas found herself almost uniquely qualified to survive in The Commonwealth’s wasteland - at least as far as Vault 111 residents went. But now, almost a full year after rising from cryogenic stasis and the horror that befell her young family as a result of the war, Elle finds herself on the verge of breaching The Institute and changing her entire life yet again.
Beyond that, the Brotherhood of Steel is beginning to disintegrate around her. The dissolution of her relationship with the organization is forcing her to make choices she never thought she'd make, pursue opportunities she never thought she'd have, and maybe even fall in love with a man who she never thought she would.

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
Six decades before the bombs fell, the Commonwealth Institute of Technology cooperated with the secretive government faction known as the Enclave on a top secret project called American Excellence to produce super soldiers for the United States military. The survivors were enhanced, achieving peak human physicality or psychic powers depending on reaction to the medical process, and paired together to produce new officers for the army of the future.
Some of those survivors became the founders of the Brotherhood of Steel. Others were part of the Irish Mob in Massachusetts. Two were preserved in a cryogenic Vault until someone stole their only child away. One escaped and thrived in the Commonwealth. The other was released ten years later into a world inherently hostile to her, making an alliance with Recon Squad Gladius.
Sparrow Finlay will change the wasteland forever.
