    Summary

    In 2293, the step-son of Elder Maxson and his wife, the Sole Survivor, has everything it takes to grow up in the post-Institute Commonwealth as one of the best Scribes the Brotherhood has ever seen. Shaun's new career in the wasteland gets up to a phenomenal start until a freak incident involving the Nuka-World raiders breaks everything he knows about the way the Commonwealth works.

    (Note: while the OG FO4 crew are important and get more important as the story goes on, they're side characters for the Nuka-World part of this story, important to Shaun's background but not necessarily front and center. If you're wondering how this universe got to this point, start from the very beginning of this series - as this story goes on, its meant to close some holes that Everything After left ambiguous. A lot of what happened in the first fic will become more and more important as the story goes from the Nuka-World raiders having control, to the Brotherhood)

    Summary

    In the name of being a good father, Nate sold his soul to the Institute and secure Shaun's vision for the future by blowing the Brotherhood of Steel out of the sky.

    In the name of being a good son, Shaun hints at the possibility of Nate regaining the possibility of a future of his own.

    **ONESHOT - Focused on the father and son dynamic but there's some implied, dubiously ethical Nate/Nora here**

    Summary

    The idea behind signing up for the Vault program was to be prepared for the end of the world. Quite frankly, Nora expected to live out her life and die in that Vault of old age. Going to sleep and waking up to find her husband dead and her son missing was the exact opposite of everything she thought would happen after the bomb. Now Nora must return to the world she and the other Vault Dwellers abandoned in the hope of being reunited with her kidnapped son, and be thrust into the middle of post-War history as the War for the Commonwealth simmers and boils to an explosive finish.

    Is the kidnapping the whole story, or is this just the beginning of something far more sinister?

    ---
    There are some major canon-divergences as the story goes on. One companion outright dies. Everyone's more concerned about the fact that Nora has a missing child than in the game. I try and remain canon-friendly where I can, but I'm taking liberties with personalities where it doesn't conflict with the original lore. TRIGGER WARNING: Nora's mental health gets a bit questionable. Then again, wouldn't anyone's?

    Story is COMPLETE: You may notice some changes while I clean up typos though.
