Summary
After the events at Griffith Observatory, Lucy has about a thousand questions about herself, her morality, and everything else she can think of. Luckily for her, the road to New Vegas is long, and the Ghoul is surprisingly fascinating to talk to.
Naturally, she does what any (questionably) sane person would do: She falls in love with him.
~*~*~
Listen, fuckers, we are primarily rolling with vibes here. What vibes, you ask? Soft, lovely, warm ones with LOTS of assholery and angst mixed in. Expect a chipper, sassy Lucy, a grumpy, more-vulnerable-than-he-wants-to-be Cooper, and a Dogmeat that can do no wrong.

Summary
Cooper Howard was lost.
Emotionally, morally, and most crucial to his current situation, literally.
He'd taken to driving, just cruising along country roads and coastal paths, taking himself up into the hills for air; anything to avoid facing the immediacy of his problem.
His wife was going to end the world.
How was a man supposed to process that?
When he blows a tyre, though, driving recklessly through the hills, he meets a captivating young mechanic with an eye for a classic.
It should have been a one time thing, so…
Why does he keep going back?

Summary
Five multiverses are in serious need of some conversation and therapy. Best to get them talking. Who knew that a pirate, a convict, a naïve vault dweller, a hero fanboy and the princess of Hell would make for such a nuanced discord.
Crossover of MHA, OPLA, Hazbin Hotel, Arcane, Fallout. Four of the big shows that came out last year and one that needs to always be in one of these multiverse chat-fics.

Summary
The most devastating part of having your entire worldview shattered is seeing for the first time all the people in your life who have been lying to you. Although you also get to see who hasn’t been.
In a shell-struck old observatory on a hill overlooking the ruined remains of two civilizations, Lucy MacLean goes with her gut and decides to throw her lot in with the only person around offering her a feasible path forward. The Ghoul pretends he isn’t relieved to hear her footsteps trailing his own. Across the breadth of the country and the spans of time, events would begin to transpire to allow for their shared endeavor to be a success. Also, they both develop big fat stinking crushes on each other, which is really inopportune. -

Summary
"You will find your light again, cowboy."
He had never believed his old friend Lily when she told him he would find love again, but when Lucy MacLean handed him a flower - a flower he had not seen in as many years as his friend who shared their name, the memory of her words came forth. She had been right all along.
All it took was 175 years of walking in emotional darkness until Cooper found his light again.
It made sense; after all, in the light of the sun, lilies awaken from their slumber.

Summary
You learn a lot about someone when you're stuck with them on a very long walk to a place you've never heard of. Alas, Lucy makes the best of a tense situation. Trying to be the optimist she knows she still is, she tries to see the Ghoul in a new light.
She never expected to see him in THAT kind of light... but she's not complaining.

Summary
Ghoulcy AU
A recently divorced Cooper Howard is struggling for work and struggling to find himself again.
When he's offered a new TV role - different to his usual cowboy go-to - he sees it as a fresh start. But his new co-star, a relatively new actress named Lucy, has him ready to quit. It's not that she's an awful person or that she's not a good actress.....she just..gets him riled up for some reason he cannot fathom!
Lucy on the other hand, has no idea why her co-star - her idol - is so blunt with her it verges on being unkind. But she tries not to take it to heart, suspecting it's a result of him going through a difficult time.
If this big-budget TV show is going to be a success, they have to learn to work together on set. So then maybe off set, they can start to build a world of their own.

Summary
His rough fingers stole the cigarette from between your lips again, his fingers feeling warmer than the leather. It made your heart race. He pushed the cigarette to your lips again. The tips of his fingers caressing your lips, you looked up at him as he watched your lips wrap around the cigarette. You released the cigarette, the tip of your pretty pink tongue teased Cooper, and it was made even worse when it touched the skin of his finger.
“Now, now baby bird, you don’t want to tease the cat,” He teased, his voice rough as he took his own drag, offering it back to you. You stole another drag, this time purposefully brushing your lips against his knuckles. He growled low in his chest, coming chest to chest with you. Your eyes were sparkling in the fluorescent lights of the town sign. You were beautiful and he could not deny that. He wanted to eat you right up, whether that was your skin or your pussy he was not sure. Like a little sugar bomb.

Summary
"Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?"
In which, the year is 2296. The illusion of Vault 31's grandeur had crumbled following Norm MacLean's adventure into the vault, and that was where he defrosted you. Twenty-one years old, still accustomed to life in 2077 when you were a secretary for Cooper Howard and when you went everywhere with your high-status boyfriend, Robert House.
Of course, at the time you underwent Cryo-stasis, you were under the belief Robert would join you in the pod adjacent to yours, but it was evident you'd been the only one frozen, lost in time.
Now, in the year 2296, when Norm unfreezes you, you're exposed to a world far from expectations, and there are a lot of questions to answer, leading you to the surface.
Unfortunately for you, a familiar bounty hunter has a scent for you, and he won't stop until he tracks you down.

Summary
It’s definitely stupid to sleep across from an undead cannibal, but Lucy is too tired for safety regulations. If he wants to make jerky out of her ass cheeks, he will.
But he probably won’t. Lucy has noticed that something has been decidedly less callous about his behavior, ever since she saved him. The fucker has gotten golden ruled.Lucy and Cooper make their way across the wasteland together, get dragged into side-quest bullshit, and learn new things in the process.

Summary
After taking down Henry and impeding Vault-Tec's HQ in New Vegas, Cooper and Lucy rescue Janey from Vault 31. Lucy finds a familiar face in a cryo tube bearing her father's name: Norm, who should be home in Vault 33, not frozen and lifeless in Vault-Tec's secret executive vault.
It's not like Lucy can just leave him there. Obviously, a second rescue is in order.

This is a missing scene from my other Fallout work, "Lucy, The Ghoul, And The New Golden Rule." Cannot be read as a standalone. Again, we are rolling with vibes, and again, Dogmeat is physically incapable of doing wrong.
