Summary
Charon had encountered a number of vault dwellers in his long, many years of living. An unremarkable lot, in his experience; many were too green for the wasteland, too soft. Do-gooders, too accustomed to the safety of a vault’s walls around them.
He didn’t know what the fuck was wrong with this one.
In which Charon's contract is acquired by a young, fresh-faced Lone Wanderer with a chip on her shoulder. A close encounter in the metro tunnels nurtures a deep, mounting tension between the two, which quickly builds to an impassioned breaking point.
'Quinn owned his contract, and by extension, him—however, in this moment, he had an opportunity to claim a sense of ownership over her, and that idea was thrilling.'

Summary
She was curious. She was different. She was intoxicating.
Jaal did not know humans – their tells, their rituals, their history. But the ache within his chest and the turn of his stomach, they were familiar things; and somehow, so was the feeling of her lips upon his.
He had never known anything better.

Summary
“What is it that you do not like about him?” Josephine asks suddenly, and Ellinor looks at her, open-mouthed. Scandalized.
“What is it—that I don’t like?” she sputters. “It’s Cullen who doesn’t like me! He—he chastises me. He underestimates me. He’s always in a bad mood and—and he just…” She takes a deep breath. Stop it, she thinks; she’s let her emotions get the best of her. A rare loss of control. She smooths her jacket instinctively. “He looks at me and he sees a highborn girl with nothing to offer the Inquisition but a mark on my hand. He judges me entirely by who I was. Not by who I’m trying to be.”

Summary
There's a saying in the wasteland, so old MacCready doesn't even rightly remember when he first heard it. There's only two kinds of people in this world, the saying goes, the quick and the dead. And MacCready's not dead, so he must be quick: quick enough to run, quick enough to shoot, and quick enough to know a good deal when he sees it. The boss, though, the boss is something else. The kind to thrive, maybe. The kind who kicks free of all of the filth and muck and rises to the top; the kind who'll drag all of her people up with her, even if it means she has to kill every last sonofabitch in her way.
And maybe Mac didn't really know what he was getting himself into, when he let some woman with a smile and a shotgun talk him into taking a contract. But damned if he can say he ever regrets coming along for the ride.

Summary
(Post-game.) Hints of interest turn into something more substantial, but sometimes, especially in a population as small as the Nexus, public perception can get in the way.
