But for how long?

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
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
Female Sole Survivor, Gladen Reed (formerly Gladen Smith in 2077), exits Vault 111 to find the world irrevocably changed. Unsure of how to proceed, the pre-war woman seeks out an identity upon the Wasteland, motivated by survival and closure. At first, it seems the only hostiles to face against on the Commonwealth are creatures such as ghouls, bloatflies and the occasional Raider. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Not everyone has the interests of others at heart, and Gladen will have to decide how best to deal with the ruthless nature of a selfish world.
Joining up with The Brotherhood seems the most logical step. However, it gets complex as feelings arise for her commanding officer. As time goes on, it becomes difficult to determine if what they're fighting for is really the right thing to do. A moment of betrayal changes everything, creating an entirely new chapter to navigate.

Run Quiet, Run Far (Paused for Editing) by AnnaRose32

Summary
Kira never expected freedom to feel like dying.
One moment she’s a Vault dweller fleeing the only home she’s ever known; the next, she’s alone in the wasteland with a mission she barely understands and no idea how to survive. The Commonwealth is cruel, loud, unpredictable—everything she was never prepared for. She just has to last long enough to come back and burn Vault 89 to the ground.
But when she stumbles into Goodneighbor, help comes in the form of a sarcastic, sharp-eyed hired gun who clearly wants nothing to do with her. MacCready is trouble with a rifle and already annoyed by her very existence. She’s weird. She’s naïve. She jumps at loud noises and flinches when people get too close - typical vaultie.
And yet… something about her makes him look twice.
As they’re pulled from one firefight to the next, Kira’s past refuses to stay buried—and the Commonwealth learns there's a price on her head high enough to spark a hunting season.
Trust is optional. Survival is not.
And somewhere along the way, hating each other stops being the plan.A slow-burn, trauma-informed adventure full of danger, tenderness, and the kind of intimacy only the wasteland can forge.

Summary
Charmer had a tell. A tiny thing that Deacon had never mentioned to her. It wasn’t necessarily a ‘lying’ tell, it just showed that she was nervous. But Deacon noticed her doing it. That was the beginning of his creeping, hair-raising concern.

Summary
This is a retelling of Fallout 4 with a focus on Deacon and his relationship with the Sole Survivor.
Deacon was in pain. The Railroad was slaughtered like dogs in the switchboard, and somehow he was the lucky bastard that survived. He had to find a way to get back at the Institute, to gain leverage over them once again.
Whatever they wanted was locked away in the icy tomb of Vault 111.

Life Doesn't End When You Turn 17 by MavelierLegacy

Summary
A big giant fix-it for everything that I wished could have happened to the marauders & co., featuring Regulus finding himself outside of his family, Remus getting to finally settle into the world comfortably, Sirius trying every hobby known to man, and so much slice of life around their first few years outside of Hogwarts.
Note: Canon is changed in order to have everyone live of course, but for the most part this follows the general character backstories you know and love from our boys.
