Summary
Elias Guerrero is the male version of Elizabeth Martin with almost the same origins, talents and personality. Basically their storylines are the same with some minor alternative differences. One minor one is looking at the story from a war veteran point of view, instead of a lawyer housewife. One of the major ones is the suggestion you hear from DiMA in Far Harbor DLC, which questions your origins in the story. In these stories, Elias might even experience events or stories that wouldn't fit into original Fallout world, but are still too interesting ideas to just leave and forget.
All stories are arranged in chronological order.

Summary
Nobody knows what to make of the Sole Survivor. Some believe him a saviour. Others call him a menace. Most think he's just in it for himself, and a few even say he's insane. The truth is that he is all of these things, and he doesn't care if you know it.

First Kisses - Fallout 4 Companions by danses_with_dogmeat
Fandoms: Fallout (Video Games), Fallout 4
23 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Each of the Fallout 4 companions in unique situations, reacting to their first kiss with the Female Sole Survivor. Some are more fluffy, others more hurt/comfort-y, but no matter what, all of 'em end up getting smooched.
--
Deacon tried to come up with something, anything. An excuse, an explanation, a justification for his odd behavior in light of this news that he knew he should have been absolutely thrilled about. He was acting like he hadn’t thought about telling her the same thing every damn day for the past six months, but what can he say? The lies are easier than admitting the way he feels, than leaving himself vulnerable to the cruel world they find themselves in. If he admits that he feels this way, that he feels the same, there’s no coming back from that. He’s not sure he’s ready, even after so many years, but he can’t deny… It’s what he wants. Sole is what he wants.

Summary
Designation: X3-21.
Occupation: Ruthless Institute Courser.
But for how long?
After existing for twelve years under the thumb of the Institute, X3-21 escapes into the Commonwealth; a rogue Courser with no objective but what he makes for himself, and finds himself unexpectedly leading hundreds of blood-thirsty raiders in the dilapidated ruins of an old Pre-War amusement park.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
War never changes.
But the people who survive it do.After 210 years in cryo-sleep, Nora Allen awakens in Vault 111 to find the world destroyed—and her infant son stolen. With her husband Nate barely surviving the effects of cryo-sickness, the two venture into the ruins of the Commonwealth. Their former neighborhood, Sanctuary Hills, is now a crumbling but defensible island community—and a chance to start over.
When they rescue the last surviving Minutemen and settlers from a brutal siege in Concord, Nora and Nate offer them shelter in Sanctuary. As they fortify the town and gather allies, a vision begins to emerge: rebuilding not just a home, but a new Republic.
Yet danger lurks beyond the walls. Raiders, rival factions, and the secrets of the pre-War world threaten everything they’re trying to build. With diplomacy, determination, and firepower, Nora leads the charge to reclaim the future.
Because rebuilding America begins with one simple idea: we fight for each other.
