    Summary

    Lucy needs relief, and after checking her options, she decides that only one person can help. And he is willing to, but on his own terms.

    “One last thing. I’m not settling for a pity-fuck or couldn’t-find-anything-better-at-the-moment-fuck. Not with you.” His gloved hand moved to her chin, and she shivered. “So tell me, sweety, is it one of those or do you really want to fuck this bastard ghoul?”

    “The last one,” she said on an exhale, “really want to. Can we do this now?”

    Without waiting for an answer, she unzipped her Voult suit.

    “We most certainly can. And, Lucy?”

    “Yes?” she asked impatiently.

    “You are one strong lady, but I guarantee you, I’ll break you just fine. And you are going to love every second of it.”

    It’s post season 1, on their way to New Vegas. Some things from season 2 are included, but most are not.

    Summary

    The sink has hot water. That's a marvel unto itself. The Ghoul lets it run over his hand.

    "The shower works, too," Lucy says. "I haven't checked, but if the sink works, the shower will. Vault water chips are an all or nothing situation."

    "Huh."

    "It's funny, seeing you standing there." Lucy sits on the bed they're supposed to share. "This is exactly like the apartment my husband and I were going to share in Vault 33." When the Ghoul looks at her, she stops cold. "Not that you're my husband. Obviously. Or that this is anything like that. Or that either of us chose to be here. Actually, you know what? I think I'm just going to test out that shower anyway."

    The Ghoul chuckles.


    A radstorm chases the Ghoul and Lucy MacLean into a seemingly abandoned vault, but. Well. It's Vault-Tec, after all.

    Summary

    There is only one road to New Vegas—US Interstate 15, a straight run with no backroads or alternate routes, just a flat-out high-speed burn through Berdoo and Barstow and Baker and then on Las Vegas Blvd straight into frantic oblivion: safety, obscurity, just another freak in the Freak Kingdom.

    Except… It's not a straight run. There are backroads and there is no safety in the Freak Kingdom.

    Roadtrips! Angst! Lots of walking! A little bit of slow burn! Then uh-oh! We're exploring the in-be-tween here. All that good stuff we don’t get to see, like sex, eventually, because it’s great. What else is great? A broken man who can’t figure shit out. And pretending we don’t have feelings. Come have some fun.

    Summary

    (BRIDGE BETWEEN S1 FINALE AND S2)

    Lucy had the sort of face girls in the movies had: clear skin, big eyes, and neat hair. Pretty — beautiful, actually, but not as a matter of compliment. Beautiful in the way she’d make a good price at any given market if he was inclined to sell her. Beautiful in the way people loved to exploit.

    Summary

    Inside, Hope was sitting upright in her hospital bed, her left leg wrapped in a brace, an IV line tucked into her elbow. She looked up, confused, then startled as she saw the man behind Robby—tall, jittery, mid-thirties with a hollow-eyed stare and a grip on the gun that was far too tight.

    “Dr. Robby?” she asked, voice small.

    “It’s okay,” he said gently. “Hope, just—stay calm, alright? Everything’s going to be okay.”

    The man shut the door behind them and locked it with a sharp click that echoed like thunder in the small room.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    During the Fourth of July, Robby is held hostage in the ER with a patient. Outside, the rest of the PITT crew are left to pick of the pieces.
