Summary
Before the world ends, it frays.
In 2075 Boston, Operation Winter's End should have been a clean strike at a dirty man. Instead, ADA Georgia Ambrose and Detective Nick Valentine walk straight into a knot of missing evidence, stalled warrants, and federal backing that looks a lot more like a setup than support.
The deeper they go, the less the case looks like justice—and the more it looks like a system already rotting through to the frame. Somewhere in that wreckage, Georgia and Nick start circling each other in ways neither of them should.Winter's Grip is the first year of the unraveling: the deaths, the betrayals, and the fault lines that won't stop spreading.

Summary
"Time was of the essence, so you were willing to let me debase myself if it came to that? I thought we'd at least moved past that sort of cruelty."
The Ghoul's lip curled into a sneer. "Well, that was your mistake then, wasn't it?"-
The hunt for Hank MacLean leads Lucy and the Ghoul to New Vegas, but a shortcut through a cazador nest results in a sting with some... inconvenient side effects. Quarantined together in Vault 21's Honeymoon Suite, the cazador's venom brings on a humiliating, relentless need that Lucy can't ignore and the Ghoul refuses to acknowledge. Their alliance is already tenuous, begrudging, and limited by two centuries of secrets. Can it withstand the fever slowly reaching its boiling point between them? Or will something new be forged altogether?

Summary
"It seems I am Dragonborn, and so I will defend your people whether they like it or not."
Dunmer are everything Nords are not. So when a wayward priest from Morrowind finds himself at the center of Nord legend and bearing a title that his own people regard with fear and disgust, he will ignite a storm across Skyrim, the Empire, and beyond.

Summary
“So you want me to marry Cooper Howard?”
He shakes his head, laughing under his breath. “Marry? No, no, lets play that by ear,” he assures you. “What we want — need — you two to do is make it look like you’ve been having an affair.” You must look like you’ve seen a ghost. This is insane. “Explains his divorce, gets people talking about you two as a pair, gets eyes on this movie you’re filming together — now, don’t go outright saying it, of course. We just wanna’ make people read between the lines, get them curious enough to get them into the theater to see the chemistry on the screen...”
---
When Cooper Howard finds himself scandalised by not just divorce, but allegations of anti-American sentiment, it falls to the studio system to try and squeeze what they can from him before he finds himself blacklisted. Fortunately, the only thing the press loves more than exposing a commie is a celebrity scandal -- and the studio has just the woman in mind to play the role of the other woman. Being seen with Cooper Howard while filming your breakthrough movie to get people talking? Easy. Doing the right thing when your career and dreams are on the line? ...Jury's out on that one, champ.

Summary
“I’d be real careful with that line o’ thinkin’,” he warns, raising an arm and bringing it to brace against the wall beside her head, all but pinning her to it. They may not be physically touching, but they’re so close to it and he’s looking at her like she’s a meal (which should be concerning because she knows he literally eats people) and she really, really wishes they were touching right now. “Because I can be nice. Real nice.” His free hand reaches up to her face, and she’s so focused on watching his expression and how close his face is to hers that she doesn’t even realize until his thumb brushes over the barely-healing split in her lip. “…But I don’t think nice is what ya’ want, is it?”

The Ghoul's been walking Lucy around on a leash for two days and whoops I tripped and he's gonna fuck her brains out now.(if you didn't think I was gonna write smut about the hot Ghoul Cowboy and Lucy 'every fallout vault dweller OC' MacLean, i don't know what to tell you.)

It was wrong to want her, he knew that. She was young, but more importantly, she was naive. He wanted to take that naivete between his teeth and grind it up until there wasn't a shred of it left.
The old Cooper would hate the things he'd done to her. The old Cooper could never forgive himself for taking her the way he wanted to take her. So fuck that guy.

Summary
She kept a wary eye on its vicious stinger as she approached. “Do you… need any help?”
“How bout,” he grunted between swings, “since you’re so damn good at playin’ bait-“ another swing- “you march your pretty little self on ahead-“ swing- “and see if you can rile up every other big critter between here ‘n’ New Vegas.”
She frowned.
He yanked the tail off with a loud snap, then set back on his haunches and flashed her a yellow, patronizing smile.
“What if you run out of bullets?”
“You let me worry about that, sweetheart.”

Lucy and Cooper get up to many shenanigans on their way to New Vegas (the journey is more important than the destination right?... right??).[COMPLETED]

Summary
“How old are you, Astarion?”
Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.
“Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”
Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”
Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.
“Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.
-
Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.
