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.

Just a Fallout New Vegas fanfic
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 worseComplete

Ghosts & Shadows
"In this world, nothing is ever as it seems..." In 2071, the world burned. Nations collapsed, anarchy reigned then nuclear fire consumed the Earth, leaving only ash, ruin - and a few survivors. John Walker managed to drag his two sons, Ben and Clay, into a Visr Corp cryo-bunker, sealing them away from the apocalypse just in time. When they awoke in 2159, the planet was unrecognizable - a deadly wasteland where survival is a daily struggle. John led his boys from the bunker, through the wasteland to Detroit, a fortified city that somehow escaped the bombs. Behind its giant wall, life was harsh but livable. Sixteen years later, Ben and Clay are hardened men, shaped by the brutal lessons of the wasteland - and by their father's strict, iron will. But there's one problem... John has been missing for over a year. Now, one job - a simple run, or so the brothers think - will pull them into a deadly chain of events. Secrets buried since the end of the world are about to surface, blood will be spilled, and the revelations could change Detroit forever.

The Minutemen: United We Stand
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.Complete
