Summary
Lucy needs relief, and after checking her options, she decides that only one person can help. And he is willing to, but on his own terms.
“One last thing. I’m not settling for a pity-fuck or couldn’t-find-anything-better-at-the-moment-fuck. Not with you.” His gloved hand moved to her chin, and she shivered. “So tell me, sweety, is it one of those or do you really want to fuck this bastard ghoul?”
“The last one,” she said on an exhale, “really want to. Can we do this now?”
Without waiting for an answer, she unzipped her Voult suit.
“We most certainly can. And, Lucy?”
“Yes?” she asked impatiently.
“You are one strong lady, but I guarantee you, I’ll break you just fine. And you are going to love every second of it.”
It’s post season 1, on their way to New Vegas. Some things from season 2 are included, but most are not.

Summary
The sink has hot water. That's a marvel unto itself. The Ghoul lets it run over his hand.
"The shower works, too," Lucy says. "I haven't checked, but if the sink works, the shower will. Vault water chips are an all or nothing situation."
"Huh."
"It's funny, seeing you standing there." Lucy sits on the bed they're supposed to share. "This is exactly like the apartment my husband and I were going to share in Vault 33." When the Ghoul looks at her, she stops cold. "Not that you're my husband. Obviously. Or that this is anything like that. Or that either of us chose to be here. Actually, you know what? I think I'm just going to test out that shower anyway."
The Ghoul chuckles.
A radstorm chases the Ghoul and Lucy MacLean into a seemingly abandoned vault, but. Well. It's Vault-Tec, after all.

Summary
There is only one road to New Vegas—US Interstate 15, a straight run with no backroads or alternate routes, just a flat-out high-speed burn through Berdoo and Barstow and Baker and then on Las Vegas Blvd straight into frantic oblivion: safety, obscurity, just another freak in the Freak Kingdom.
Except… It's not a straight run. There are backroads and there is no safety in the Freak Kingdom.
Roadtrips! Angst! Lots of walking! A little bit of slow burn! Then uh-oh! We're exploring the in-be-tween here. All that good stuff we don’t get to see, like sex, eventually, because it’s great. What else is great? A broken man who can’t figure shit out. And pretending we don’t have feelings. Come have some fun.

Summary
(BRIDGE BETWEEN S1 FINALE AND S2)
Lucy had the sort of face girls in the movies had: clear skin, big eyes, and neat hair. Pretty — beautiful, actually, but not as a matter of compliment. Beautiful in the way she’d make a good price at any given market if he was inclined to sell her. Beautiful in the way people loved to exploit.

Summary
Inside, Hope was sitting upright in her hospital bed, her left leg wrapped in a brace, an IV line tucked into her elbow. She looked up, confused, then startled as she saw the man behind Robby—tall, jittery, mid-thirties with a hollow-eyed stare and a grip on the gun that was far too tight.
“Dr. Robby?” she asked, voice small.
“It’s okay,” he said gently. “Hope, just—stay calm, alright? Everything’s going to be okay.”
The man shut the door behind them and locked it with a sharp click that echoed like thunder in the small room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the Fourth of July, Robby is held hostage in the ER with a patient. Outside, the rest of the PITT crew are left to pick of the pieces.

Now the world's ending, her only ally is a man in a duct-taped poncho, and survival means accepting help.

I mean— what could possibly go wrong???

Summary
In which Blair Waldorf realizes that she's gotten everything she ever wanted, and that she doesn't want it anymore.
It is scary to build a life – to scratch and claw and fight for a life – and then to think you might not like it. That you might even hate it. Once you build a life around someone, you can’t just walk away from it. You can’t just wake up one day and think that, maybe, just maybe, you might have changed. That you might have grown.
That you might want something different than the things you always wanted.

Summary
Colin’s eyes creak open, and at the same time, he lets out a soft moan.
Night has fallen since last he was conscious, and only the faintest moonlight now illuminates the coach. He is not alone in said coach. A woman rides with him. A hooded cloak conceals most of her face—that is, until she turns at the sound of his moan, lowering the fabric with small, gloved hands.
“You’re awake,” she says, expression quickly changing from worry to relief. “Oh, Colin, I’m so glad. I did worry if perhaps the blow was a bit too hard, but—”
“Penelope?”
Or: The one where Penelope kidnaps Colin to keep him from spilling the beans about Lady Whistledown, and he...rather learns to like it.

Summary
The rest of the morning made little sense as her mother explained that the families had struck a deal in which Blair in her good fortune and generosity would train with Dan for the Cotillion.
"Why not have Serena do this with him? He's going to be her escort."
"Serena hasn't agreed to go yet and her grandma wants to surprise her with this development."
Typical. Blair's hard work becomes Serena's magic.
Dair Fanfic. Set 1x10.

Summary
Blair Waldorf doesn’t like being reminded of Dan Humphrey. But that gap-toothed, curly haired man certainly had a knack for being completely unavoidable.
Firstly, the man was her best friend’s husband.
Secondly, he was a journalist, so she was bombarded by constant reminders of him.
That insufferable social climber was everywhere. She couldn’t even check her phone without scrolling past his selfies with Nate Archibald on her Instagram feed. Talk about the ghost of boyfriends past, haunting her ad infinitum.
In other words, Blair Waldorf doesn’t like being reminded of Dan Humphrey, because it's like being reminded of a life she could have had with him.
