To keep her family safe in the event of atomic annihilation, Briar Rose signs up to live out a possible nuclear fallout in Vault-Tec's Vault 111. But Vault-Tec takes advantage of the situation by encasing Briar Rose, her family, and all the others in cryogenic sleep. Somewhere in her slumber, her husband is killed and her son is taken from his arms.
Over 200 years later, Briar Rose wakes up. The Massachusetts she once knew is an atomic wasteland with horribly mutated creatures and dangerous humans struggling to survive. She recruits the help of a humanoid, known as Detective Nick Valentine, and they set out across the Commonwealth to find her son. Nothing will stop her.

Adult Supervision | gxg | - An Emily Prentiss x Reader story by bauprentisss

This is 1/2 part of what I'm working on. Please understand a majority of this story I wrote high, (I am totally conscious, just more creative) It's a haters to lovers type vibe, so there will be more of a slow burn angsty tension rather than straight up smut :) Y/N is a total mess. After surviving an abusive relationship with the son of a mob boss who made her do some horrible things, she's been stuck in a downward spiral of anger, guilt, and self-destruction. Losing her dad a few days after her escape only made herangrier. She's selfish and a coward, always trying to protect herself. (Spoiler alert: she's not great at lying, but she keeps trying anyway.) Things hit rock bottom when an undercover agent is found dead in a remote cabin, and all signs point to Y/N. Shes caught by Hotchner and Prentiss, and now she has no choice but to cooperate with them. Working with the team comes with a catch: Prentiss, who clearly has zero patience with Y/N, is stuck supervising her 24/7. That means LIVING with Y/N with basically no freedom at all. **Trigger Warnings** Substance Abuse: alcohol, drugs Domestic Abuse: Mentions of Y/N's toxic and abusive relationship. subtle violence Subtle sexual harassment moments

Seductress by theathea3015

"How dare you? Ariana, how dare you?" I could feel the anger from his heart radiate through his ears. the tears that kept rolling down my cheeks were unstoppable.

I did everything I could to make you happy and you you-" he cut himself off. He suddenly became extremely silent. Like he was thinking of forgiving me. Ha! Like that'll happen. "Leave." he said in a dangerously low voice I almost didn't hear it. "Leave!" he yelled and I heard it perfectly well this time. "Leave before I do something I'd regret for the rest of my life." He added as he banged his fist on his desk almost knocking off the almost empty bottle of Brandy he'd been obviously drinking all night. Then it hit me. It was crystal clear that not only had I seduced and tricked Mr. Perfect, but I'd also broken his precious heart beyond repair. ********* Meet Arianna Rodstein.

The Minutemen: United We Stand by NikkiSibbi

What if Fallout 4 had been a book, not a video game? Here's my take on what would have happened once Nora crawled out of Vault 111. Hell's supposed to be fire and brimstone. Nora found it was radiation and desolation. On a mission to find her kidnapped son and avenge her husband's murder, the pre-war lawyer must navigate this brave new world. Friends made, enemies discovered, and scars accumulated - Nora struggles with her grief, confusion, and two-hundred years of jet-lag. Rated M for violence, gore, strong language, drug and alcohol use, and sexual themes.

Aim to Please by xDRAG0N0VAx

Aurora likes to think of herself as a protector of the Commonwealth. Others may see her as a distant and aloof mercenary, but she doesn't mind it-no connections mean she can't get hurt. When a certain group of Gunners gives her trouble, she looks for help; she hears of MacCready-a gun-for-hire in Goodneighbor. She hires the former Gunner and soon sees that he is true to his word as a sharpshooter, but she never expected the trouble in store for her, or that a connection would form between the two mercenaries.
