Summary
“It’s funny, Mr. Howard.”
“What’s that?”
“You’ve won a lot of awards for your work, but I’m not so sure you’re a very good actor anymore.” Lucy said.
“Is that so?” He asked, grinding his teeth a bit and slowly spinning the empty glass on the bar top. He’d been called a bad actor before, but that was by industry professionals, know-it-all critics, and gossip rags. Pretty girls at bars didn’t go around calling him a bad actor. Not that he spent much time talking to pretty girls at bars at all.
“Mhmm.” She said. “You sit there and tell me this cause isn’t worth it. That I’ll only get hurt in the end. But to me, it’s as plain as the nose on your face… You still believe in this cause. Even if it hurts you. And I think I’d like to see you get back on the horse.” Lucy smiled, then, winking over her shoulder as she called back to him, “What do you think, cowboy?”

Summary
An old pact calls. Cooper Howard comes to take what's his before Lucy MacLean marries Maximus.
--
“Now, we got two options on how to handle this,” The Stranger continues as though she hadn’t spoken. “Either you can come with me willingly, or I kill your sweet ol’ knight.”
Maximus steps forward. “Don’t do it, Lucy.”
Tears sting her eyes as she looks first to her dad, then to Maximus. Then, finally, to The Stranger. “Promise me you won’t hurt them.”
“You have my word,” comes the low reply.
“Lucy, no. Lucy!!" But she’s unable to call back as a cloth is placed over her nose and mouth, taking every last bit of fight out of her.

Summary
“She can be determined at times, but as you can see, she is manageable.”
Lucy believed Vault-Tec existed to keep people safe. The Mainframe shattered that certainty and with it her faith that anyone can be trusted.
After a brutal escape from New Vegas leaves her injured and shaken, Lucy finds herself choosing proximity to The Ghoul rather than walking away. Between violence, barbed words, and the unbearable weight of what they’ve both lost, survival becomes a delicate negotiation of boundaries, leverage, and split-second choices that rarely come without cost.
As old secrets surface and new horrors emerge, Lucy must reckon with what it means to stay and what she might lose by doing so.
Trust is a liability. Obedience may be worse.
Post–S2E7 continuation. Canon divergence ahead.

Summary
Lucy MacLean knew that she should be grateful for the studio links that came with working with a bigger skating federation. They got to be on national TV to celebrate their world championship gold medal. She’d never spoken on TV about any medal before. She knew she really should be grateful about it all.
Except for the fact there would be an expectation for them to take one of the Olympic spots they’d just won. And for that she needed an American passport with her name on it.

Summary
Maybe, just maybe, this meeting between Thaddeus, a former Brotherhood of Steel squire turned to floor manager/father to a bunch of children, and Norman MacLean, the youngest son of Hank MacLean and on a journey to find his father and bring him to justice, was written in the stars. Unlikely, it was rather a poor sequence of events that lead to Norm in a hole, Thaddeus getting woken up early, and a bad case of infatuation at first sight on Thaddeus's part.
Title from Frank Sinatra's That's Life!

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
You need to read the other fics in 'A Kiss to Build a Dream On' for this to make sense - at least, I'd say, Flash, Bam, Alakazam, but I'd recommend reading the others too.
A slowly defrosting Norm in hand, Lucy and Cooper end up having to take refuge in a settlement; one he'd done his best to avoid in the before-times, and isn't particularly happy about being in, now.
They just need a few nights, though - the chance to rest, check in with a medic, maybe send a message ahead to the farm.
Simple... right?
When they spot their own faces on wanted posters and come face to face, or gun to gun, with a bounty hunter, though... well, for Cooper and his Goose, is anything ever simple?
