Intrusive Thoughts of The Ghoul by Laurellielee
Fandoms: Fallout (TV 2024), Fallout: New Vegas
09 Jun 2026

Summary
Please enjoy this treatment of Season 2 through the eyes of The Ghoul. Told from his perspective, this story follows Cooper's reluctant partnership with Ms. MacLean as they make their way to New Vegas. Most importantly, we will be taking a stroll through the intrusive thoughts of the Ghoul himself: the things he never says out loud, the ghosts he can’t shake, and the alarming realisation that somewhere along the way, he may have started to care.
Primarily, this is Ghoulcy, with all the tension, bickering, and inconvenient feelings that entail, with a dash of RobCoop, because some chemistry is too good to ignore.

Summary
The wasteland changes people, turns you into something you never thought you'd be. Sometimes it seems unavoidable, unfixable, but maybe the right person just needs to come and take your hand.
OR
I don't trust Bethesda or Prime to handle Lucy and Cooper the way I want their story to go, so this is what I'd do with them if I was showrunner, aka my season 3.

Summary
As they continue to travel toward New Vegas, The Ghoul is haunted by the man he once was, the monster he’s become, and his feelings for a particular vaultie who doesn’t know when to shut the hell up. Lucy struggles to understand her traveling companion and the complicated feelings she has for him, despite his inability to behave the way she believes a decent person should.

Summary
Lucy's world has been turned upside down more than once in just the span of a few days. She's so turned around that following an unstable murderer into the California wilderness is her best option. At the very least, The Ghoul's behavior has changed for the better now that they are on this quest together. She's determined to get answers and she's not going to let this new world get to her. Let the wasteland throw its worst at her, she's ready.
Then again, maybe not.

Summary
After being trapped in a collapsing ruin with a creature twisted by radiation, Lucy and the Ghoul are forced into breathless, intimate proximity just to survive.
They make it out alive.
But not untouched.
Because now Lucy knows what it feels like to be held by something dangerous… and she can’t forget it.
He’s not a good man.
Not a gentle one.
And if she keeps looking at him like that….He might stop pretending he is.

Summary
She’s not sure what he’s referring to, but she listens. Walks back to the camp without so much as another word between them. Not even a glance. She doesn’t look again until she’s sitting on her bedroll and the Ghoul is just a shadow in the distance.
She doesn’t want him to disappear with the light.
~~~~
Cooper watches Lucy most of the night. Can’t help himself. He never thought they’d have nights like this again. Never anticipated she’d actually forgive him. Then again, she hasn’t outright forgiven him just yet, but he gets the sense she’s not angry anymore. For whatever godforsaken reason. He doesn’t deserve her kindness. Her empathy.
He almost forgets about the goddamn tin soldier until he wakes up. Cooper quickly sits back, crossing his legs at his ankles and covering his face with his hat.

AKA, after a few weeks apart, cooper and dogmeat cross paths with lucy and maximus which turns into all of them traveling together seeing as they seem to temporarily be going in the same direction...which then turns into cooper and lucy having to confront feelings they never imagined they'd have

Summary
Lucy and Cooper have settled into a routine. Ten years spent working together, ten years of bounties and scrap and traversing the wasteland together. Ten years of a bizarre relationship neither truly understands, nor questions. It's the simple comfort of familiarity, camaraderie, mutual protection...something more?
They're not sure. But it doesn't really matter. There's no challenge they won't face together, no odd they haven't beaten.
Except for one. And it looms closer and closer with every day that passes.Bookmarked by existentialghoulism

Summary
Lucy Maclean has found herself on an unexpected road-trip with the guy who kidnapped her just under a week ago—a very serious, important road-trip focused on tracking down her war criminal father. Unfortunately for Lucy, she can't stop herself from having...thoughts that are getting in the way of everything.
All Lucy knows is this: the Ghoul cannot under any circumstances find out about her filthy fantasies. The results would be catastrophic.
...
Or, 5 times Lucy is humiliatingly horny in front of the Ghoul, plus 1 time she decides to do something about it.

Summary
Cooper Howard is a horrible, disgusting man. So much so that he was ready to hand Lucy off without second thought. So much so that he couldn't go through with it and now he's dragging her across the country in an attempt to get away from it.
He's so unbelievably fucked.

Summary
Lucy had learned many new things about herself since leaving the Vault. She disliked sand in her shoes. She detested roasted rad-roach. She enjoyed the sensation of the sun on her face.
She loved angry sex.
It had been an unexpected discovery, especially after years of gentle, soft, reverent exploration with Chet, but oh, the undercurrent of pure annoyance, the adrenaline of the fight, the pulse-raising, breath-catching, passion of it all.
It was addictive.AKA The Ghoul and Lucy argue and have angry, angry sex after fighting Raiders goes awry - Merry Christmas, you filthy animals <3

Summary
He compares her to a piece of gristle once; tells her she’s gone and lodged herself between his teeth and nothing he does is enough to pick her out. The way he says it leaves Lucy unsure if he means it as a compliment or an insult, but the words stick with her all the same.
Because she can’t seem to get rid of him, either.

Lucy goes after him, but instead of finding her father she ends up with a leash around her neck.The longer Lucy is the ghoul’s captive, the more she senses something familiar about him that she can’t put her finger on.
