Will you remember that I existed, and that I stood next to you here like this? 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐕 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 Cooper Howard/The Ghoul x F!OC © 2026 𝑤𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑛𝑙𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑠

Elsie MacLean has always looked after her younger siblings, Lucy and Norm. It was never a choice. It was who she was. The perfect daughter, polished and placed on a pedestal by her father, Hank, Elsie hid her dreams of the surface and her desires to explore the world. When shit hits the fan, Elsie teams up with Lucy to find their father, but things go wrong and Lucy vanishes in the night, leaving only silence, fear, and questions. To find her, Elsie ventures further into the wasteland with the last person she should trust: The Ghoul. A man shaped by a dead world, dangerous, ruthless, and impossible to read. Together, they follow Lucy's trail through ruins and radiation, where survival demands sacrifice and love becomes a liability. Because in the wasteland, finding your sister might cost you everything. Set in the world of Fallout (TV Series) ☢️ -Canon divergence -OFC/Elsie MacLean x Cooper Howard/The Ghoul -

Our favourite bounty-huntin' Ghoul blows into Dusty Plains with more charm than a rattlesnake and a past with the town's fiery sheriff, Calamity, that's hotter than the desert sun. Can they rekindle their flame, or will their hunt for redemption leave them both burned? (Just a heads up, this redemption involves a lot of dust devils and a surprising amount of lingerie.)

You are Y/N MacLean and you must go to the surface to save your father from Moldaver. You enlist in the help of a ghoul. With it be complete chaos or will you be friends. Kinda follows the series and kinda doesn't. Hope you enjoy. There will be only 20 parts and then complete.

A/N: THIS IS A CREATION OF MY DESIGN, THIS TAKES PLACE AFTER THE EVENTS OF THE SHOW: IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT, DO NOT READ THIS BEFORE READING. THERE ARE SPOILERS. I recently watched Fallout show and I fell in love with it, and I've played the games (evidence is from my Hancock X SoleSurvivor!Reader fic I did many years ago), the show has recently made me realize how amazing the universe of Fallout is and I can't wait to finish this story seeing as after I watched the show I started to replay the games and grew some ideas that you guys will hopefully like. A/N: I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OR THE FALLOUT GAMES, THE OWNERS OF THOSE GAMES AND THE SHOW ARE BETHESDA, AMAZON PRIME, AND OBSIDIAN. ALSO, I DO NOT KNOW IF COOPER STILL LOVES HIS WIFE AFTER WHAT VAULT-TEC DID IN THE SHOW BUT IN THIS (BECAUSE IF YOU'VE SEEN THE SHOW THEN YOU KNOW HE'S LOOKING FOR HIS FAMILY IN GENERAL AND NOT JUST HIS DAUGHTER LIKE HE IS IN THIS STORY) HE DOES NOT LOVE HER ANYMORE.

The wasteland taught You one rule: survive first, care later. A mercenary with a mean streak and a good shot, you never believed in causes, only caps. Until a job goes wrong, a bullet leaves you for dead, and a Vault Dweller with too much kindness for the end of the world saves your life. Lucy was raised to believe the world could still be good, there's good in you, and now you owe the most gullible girl the world, your life...

(𝐂𝐎𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐗 𝐅. 𝐎𝐂) ❝︎If you actually hated me like you act like you do, I'd be dead by now.❞ BRYNN MACLEAN NEVER thought she'd venture to the surface after the nukes hit, nonetheless be saved by a vicious bounty hunter who then took her as a captive. Life sure was strange in the apocalypse. ❝...Shut up.❞︎

*Disclaimer: This story contains mature content including violence, severely traumatic events, and themes of survival in a post-apocalyptic world. Reader discretion is advised.* When the bombs turned Texas to ash and ruin, nestled inside a cave of the Palo Duro Canyon stood Vault 97. A place that was supposed to be a safe haven for Daisy Carson. Daisy never asked to wake up one hundred and eighty years after the end of the world - not to find herself a prisoner of Vault 97's twisted project nor to be branded a bounty with secrets on a stolen holotape. When she escapes, battered and chained, she crosses paths with a lone ghoul - a wandering gunslinger who drifts between the crosses of dead churches and the neon bones of old towns across the vast wasteland, rosary rattling like the warning of a viper. He claims he wants the bounty on her head. He claims he's just another survivor trying to get paid. But campfires crack open old wounds, and every prayer whispered into the wasteland binds them tighter than the chains they share. Together they carve a bloody trail from the rotting slave pens of New Amarillo to the ghost ranches of Mercy - a place where family and faith were all that mattered - and from the Texas wasteland down to the Mexican badlands.

The Enclave calls her an asset. The wasteland calls her a bounty. She calls herself a survivor. After escaping a classified mutation program designed to create the perfect weapon, she's spent months hiding the power burning beneath her skin-a power they refined through pain, death and resurrection until it obeyed. Almost. When a retrieval team corners her in a dying town, she's forced to reveal what they made her. Unfortunately, the only witness is the last man she should trust. A notorious Ghoul bounty hunter who now knows exactly how valuable she is. He could turn her in for more caps than he's ever seen. Instead, he offers a deal. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they navigate Enclave kill squads, bounty hunters hungry for a payout, and a wasteland that's starting to whisper their names together. She doesn't fear him. He doesn't flinch from what she's become. But the Enclave wants her returned alive. And the longer they travel together, the more dangerous it becomes - not because of the power inside her... ...but because she's starting to realize she was never meant to belong to anyone. And he's starting to believe it too.
