Just a Fallout 4 fanfic
War. War never changes. In the year 1945, my great-great grandfather, serving in the army, wondered when he'd get to go home to his wife and the son he'd never seen. He got his wish when the US ended World War II by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The World awaited Armageddon; instead, something miraculous happened. We began to use atomic energy not as a weapon, but as a nearly limitless source of power. People enjoyed luxuries once thought the realm of science fiction. Domestic robots, fusion-powered cars, portable computers. But then, in the 21st century, people awoke from the American dream. Years of consumption lead to shortages of every major resource. The entire world unraveled. Peace became a distant memory. It is now the year 2077. We stand on the brink of total war, and I am afraid. For myself, for my wife, for my infant son - because if my time in the army taught me one thing... War never changesComplete
Through Blood and Ash
Through Blood and Ash. What's left after everything burns? --------- They warned us. We didn't listen. Now the world is dead - and the dead are all that's left. The year is 6062, and humanity has collapsed under the weight of its own arrogance. A cure meant to save us twisted into something monstrous, turning loved ones into soulless predators with only one instinct: kill. Cara has lost everything - her family, her home, and the illusion that safety still exists. With a small band of survivors, she clings to life on the run, haunted by the screams of those she couldn't save... especially her brother. But when a desperate choice forces them back into the infected zones, Cara will have to decide what's worse: the monsters outside, or the guilt that's been tearing her apart from within. In a world where hope is dying and nightmares walk in daylight, survival comes at a cost - and not everyone is willing to pay it. -------------------------------- REWRITTEN I've gone back and rewritten this story from the ground up. As well as changed the name. The original had a strong foundation, but I knew there was more I could bring to it-more depth, more heart, and a better reading experience. I truly hope you enjoy this new version. And if you're returning from the original, thank you for sticking with me-I hope this one resonates with you just as much, if not more.Complete

Together they ride through ruined cities and overgrown highways, dodging death, hunting supplies, and navigating the raw ache of survival.

They just might have to. -this story contains violence, gore, sexual content, and mature themes. It is not suitable for readers under 18.
𝑨 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒅𝒚. (𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏)
Trying to survive the apocalypse isn't just about slaying the undead. It's a 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 lot more complicated than that. Hardly anybody ever considers the barbaric murderers with the Cheshire Cat smiles or the cunning killers lurking around for their next victim to slice open. Or what about the huge range of communities out there, trying their best to thrive in the new world? Surely, not all of them are bad... right? Well, Brooklyn Scotts would be inclined to disagree to that last point made. For the girl has been surviving on her own since it all started, joining and leaving small groups here and there. But when she just so happens to unintentionally seek help on her travels, her whole world is turned upside down and she finds herself breaking all the rules. <><><> Highest Rank(s): » #1 Negan » #1 TheWalkingDead » #1 Rickgrimes <><><> || Negan X OC || || Mature Content || || Please Enjoy || <><><> » started late 2017 » completed summer 2019Complete

Revelation green: Legends Of Draco [Revised]
In the year 2102, a young survivor navigates the vast, desolate stretches of a wasteland-an inhospitable landscape marred by the scars of devastation and chaos. The air is thick with the acrid scent of decay, and the bleached bones of abandoned structures jut out from the ground like the skeletal remains of a bygone civilization. This grim world teems with threats at every corner: shadowy raiders keen on ambush lurk among the debris, grotesque mutants wander the barren terrain with twisted features that reflect the horrors of their existence, and monstrous sea creatures, evolved and grotesque, glide through the poisoned waters that once nurtured life. Hostile tribes are in constant conflict, fiercely competing for control of the meager resources that remain-a flickering light in an otherwise dark reality. Each faction is driven by desperation, willing to do anything to survive in this brutal landscape. As he trudges through the remnants of a shattered world, the survivor grapples with external dangers that lurk at every turn, but also with the haunting solitude that envelops him, a constant reminder of the catastrophic bombings that have decimated humanity. With every weary step he takes, he weighs his choices carefully, contemplating their impact on both himself and the remnants of a world in ruins. What lies ahead is not only a fight for survival but also the possibility of forging a legend amid the ashes of a fallen civilization, a testament to resilience in the face of despair.Complete

The year is 2050, and the world is a shadow of what it once was. On December 31st, 2049, a massive asteroid struck Earth, unleashing devastation on an unimaginable scale. The collision engulfed the planet in flames, erasing entire cities and wiping out 80% of all living beings. Once-vibrant landscapes have turned to barren wastelands, and the remnants of humanity are scattered and struggling to survive in the aftermath of the cataclysm. What remains is a harsh and unforgiving world where survival comes at a cost, and trust is a luxury few can afford. The story follows 11 Smith, a man who awakens on January 9th, 2050, in the center of a massive crater-the impact site of the asteroid. Disoriented and alone, he discovers that the Earth is now a desolate wasteland, filled with dangers both seen and unseen. As he begins his journey, 11 encounters allies like 24, 42, 22, and 12, each with their own burdens to bear. Together, they uncover the truth about the asteroid and its far-reaching consequences. But lurking in the shadows is 3, a powerful and enigmatic adversary determined to control what's left of humanity. Joined by the ruthless 41 and 48, 3 will stop at nothing to achieve dominance in this shattered new world. *NOTE* Everyone is mortal in "Death Stranding." Meaning anyone can die.
