Just a Fallout New Vegas fanfic by BurntToast14

War. War never changes. When atomic fire consumed the earth, those who survived did so in great, underground vaults. When they opened, their inhabitants set out across ruins of the old world to build new societies, establish new villages, form new tribes. As decades passed, what had been the American southwest united beneath the flag of the New California Republic, or NCR, dedicated to old-world values of democracy and the rule of law. As the NCR grew, so did its needs. Scouts spread east, seeking territory and wealth, in the dry and merciless expanse of the Mojave desert. They returned with tales of a city untouched by the warheads that had scorched the rest of the world, and a great wall spanning the Colorado River. The NCR mobilized its army and set it east to occupy the Hoover Dam, and restore it to working condition. But across the Colorado, another society had arisen under a different flag. A vast army of slaves, forged in the conquest of 86 tribes: Caesar's Legion. Four years have passed since the NCR held the dam - just barely - against the Legion's onslaught. The Legion did not retreat. Across the river, they gathered strength. Campfires burned, training drums beat. Through it all, the New Vegas Strip has stayed open for business under the control of its mysterious overseer, Mr. House, and his army of rehabilitated tribals and police robots. Dallas is a courier, hired by the Mojave Express, to deliver a package to the New Vegas Strip. What seemed like a simple delivery job has taken a turn... for the worse

Trouble at Saddleback Creek by marionpatton

Snakeskin McMurtry was a deadly gunfighter who hated killing. The last thing he wanted was trouble, but trouble always seemed to find him. Whether it was family, promises he had to keep, or posses, he always seemed to end up in a gunfight. He figured that if he got enough money to buy a big ranch, he could get out of going on the posses anyway. The ways he got the money weren't quite legal and were always dangerous. And that meant more trouble. Then there was the girl. She was the one for him all right. They both knew it. She was a ranch woman with brains, character, beauty and plenty of sand. She saved him more than once. But. She could not stand the idea of loosing another man in a gunfight. She wanted him to give up his ranch, move east, and become a counter jumper! He couldn't do that. Because of what happened to him when he was a kid, he couldn't take a sissy job. Then things got worse. A mad range war threatened and a gang of outlaws with a grudge showed up. They needed to think, and move fast if they didn't want to loose everything including their lives.

Cowboys & Nightmares by Stewart352

Having run away from a past she'd rather forget, Rylie Klintson lands herself a job as the first female worker on the McGrange Ranch. While the foreman seems to have his own ideas about how she should be spending her nights, she is given a bunk house to share with Dune O' Brandy, a quiet yet hardworking man. Over time, Rylie finds herself drawn more and more to her bunkmate, especially when she is given a blue roan to ride that he trained himself. But right out of the gate, it seems her past won't let go as she's plagued by dreams of attackers, murderers, and her helpless family and friends being killed before her eyes. The foreman's advances don't help any, each one bringing back more memories. Dune is the only one that can console her, and as the summer passes, they fight to control the nightmares, as well as staying out from under the foreman.

Cowgirl by mockingjay-1989

Teaser: • "The sound of boots clunking on the wooden floor made everyone in the pub fall silent. The person took off their brimmed hat to let long dark hair fall down her back. People started whispering. She got to the counter and stood waiting, while the barman just gawped. "A beer, please," She said boldly. The barman nodded silently. An older balding man smoothly took up the space at her side, and in one quick movement slid his hand around her waist to grab her backside. The woman's face twisted in anger and perhaps a little terror at this violation, and she quickly slapped his hand away and pushed him backwards. Someone whistled loudly, but the woman ignored it. Her brown eyes stayed alert and open, her thin lips showing no expression. She looked like a teenager and probably was. She was wearing a beige shirt, the top two buttons undone, and her boots were chocolate brown with golden spurs, which complemented her dusty leather jodhpurs. The man from before had recovered and looked as if he was about to try his luck for a second time, but the woman muttered, "do you want children, sir?" and he quickly backed off. "Oooh, feisty," a man said, making people laugh. In the blink of an eye, a pistol was pointed in his direction..."

Hollow's Landing by SmokedBison

Starts on a cattle ranch, ends fighting werewolves in space. Savannah and Sierra were raised under endless skies in a backwater where winters are long and trouble is scarce. Their Uncle taught them to be tough, self-reliant, and smart enough to avoid anything they couldn't outrun. But when a late-season ride takes them too far into the wilderness, they find something that shouldn't be there-something that sees them as trespassers. What starts as a strange encounter turns into a problem they can't ignore. The ranch, the town, even the quiet life they've always known-none of it is as safe as it seemed. Because some things don't stay buried forever.

EUREKA by SEViolet

I always knew I was goin' to die...I just never expected it to be like this. Blazin' hot desert, far from home, alone, ambushed, shot in the back an' left for dead- no, I'd never imagined it to be like this. Problem was...instead of dyin' right off, I got mad. A vicious, righteous, stuck in your craw, won't rest 'til justice is done kind of mad. Pa would say 'Catch a bear by his nose, you get mauled. Catch a Rivers'...that's where things get messy'.

Scarred by his past and burdened with the responsibility of inheriting a sprawling ranch in Oregon, Riven is determined to keep his new bride at arms length. As they journey across the treacherous Oregon Trail, bound for a life neither of them envisioned, Noemi's fierce spirit and innocence begin to thaw Riven's hardened heart. Despite their rocky start, an unexpected bond forms between them, filled with moments of playful competition, mutual respect, and a deepening attraction that neither can ignore. But the trail is fraught with dangers, both from the wild terrain and the ghosts of their pasts. As they face the challenges of survival together, Noemi learns to harness her own strength, demanding to learn the skills that will allow her to stand beside Riven as his equal. Along the way, she uncovers a softer side of the man she's bound to, while Riven is forced to confront his fears of vulnerability and the possibility to love. Yet, as they near their destination, the question remains: can they truly leave behind the pain of their pasts and forge a future together on the unforgiving frontier, or will the harsh realities of the Wild West tear them apart before they even have a chance?
