"I was in love
Back before the bombs fell
With a girl who had a bright heart
But a dark life
Every thing I could
I did for her
To bring her joy
The same joy
She brought to me
Just to see
A small smile grace her face
And the universes light
Within her eyes
But that was back
Back before her demise
I woke one day
To ash and rubble
The war had begun
And I couldn't breathe
Not because of smoke and flame
But because I knew
The girl I'd loved
Was no longer in the same plane
Day by day
World powers threats grew
But not as big
As my own threats
To myself
I couldn't live
In such a dark world
When
I had lost my only source of light.
Day by day
The darkness grew
Inside of me I knew
Something was wrong
Something was missing
And it was something I'd once had.
I felt empty and incomplete
Then a stranger walked in my door
Said she'd been running
Dark hair down her face
Hiding
Surviving
Something about her
Struck me some way
It was in her eyes
I'd seen in once before
Held in the eyes of the girl I adored
I grew sick.
I knew what would come next
A vicious cycle
Maybe with a new end."

[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was.

Atom Bomb Baby - Hancock x Reader
It has been a year and a half since you awoke alone in Vault 111 and you still haven't found Shaun. So far you'd made many friends and created a life for yourself in Sanctuary Hills. You had thought that you'd never be happy again, until you found yourself in the town of Goodneighbor. You and Hancock had really hit it off and you'd been together ever since. Lately though, it seems everyone needs your help, and you're finding it harder and harder to find the time to spend with your favorite ghoul. This is a Hancock x reader and its finally finished. There's smut in the final chapter and sexual tension throughout. This is my first fanfic so give me lots of feedback! I don't own any of the fallout settings or characters!Complete

Revolution- Runaways 3 [EDITING]
The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.Complete

Fallout: Rebirth
In the heart of Texas, beneath the ruins of a nation that once stood as the world's last superpower, they awaken. Fifty-five thousand soldiers, warriors of the old world, preserved in cryogenic sleep since the twilight of America. With them, their families-men, women, and children frozen alongside the last true remnants of the United States Army. It was a desperate gamble, a contingency plan set in motion by a government that saw the end coming but refused to let the dream die. If the worst should happen, if the bombs fell, these soldiers would be the ones to rebuild. The worst did happen. The world burned. The United States was reduced to ash and legend, just another name lost in the howling chaos of the wasteland. And for 29 years, the vault's technicians kept their watch, aging in silence, waiting for the day the world would be stable enough to wake them. That day has come. In 2106, the chambers unlock. Ice cracks, breath returns, and the army of the past rises once more. They step into a world that is not their own, a world that has forgotten them, a world where law and order have given way to might and madness. But they were not preserved to be forgotten. They were not sent to sleep so that the dream of America would die in the dark. They will reclaim the land. They will rebuild the nation. They will finish what was started. But the wasteland is not a battlefield. It is not a war they were trained to fight. And in this new world, the old rules mean nothing. If they are to bring back the United States, they will have to earn it. Not with guns, not with power-but with will, with sacrifice, and with the sheer, unrelenting belief that America is not just a country. It is an idea. And as long as they stand, it will never die.
But He Stopped Pt 2
Life was hard. John knew that, especially in the wasteland of Post-Apocalyptic America. If the act of being born didn't kill you Raiders, The Institute, lack of food or clean water probably would. In fact, most things could easily lay claim to your life; an angry father, an aggressive older brother, a jaded ex-girl. It was decidedly no place for an empathetic human. Which made John wonder... why had he been born at all? The second and final (?) piece in the collectionComplete
