About Me
Perpetually chasing the high of hanging out in the fanfiction.net forums during the late '00s by furiously fighting my phone's presence in my life and refusing to enter the internet through a tablet. I copy edit and quality check crime fiction by day, write short stories and novels by night, study video game design in the driblets of time left over, and once told myself I would only write original fiction from here on. I'm starting to suspect that was a lie.

The Case Files of Nick Valentine and the Vault Dweller – Fallout 4
Each story follows Nick Valentine and the Sole Survivor from Nick's point of view. Listed in order, but all of these are standalone stories that can be read without the context of the rest.
Tomb 111
When the sole survivor, Gale Anderson, starts having nightmares about her husband's corpse left behind in Vault 111, Nick Valentine follows her back to Sanctuary to lay him to rest. But they both have unprocessed trauma related to vaults and they will have to learn to trust each other for Gale to face the horrors visited on her family.
Waste Not
Desperate to find supplies for the settlement of Sanctuary hit by a hard winter, sole survivor Gale Anderson has pushed herself past the point of exhaustion as she and Nick Valentine explore the Boston ruins, where she finds a teddy bear she wants to bring back to one of the children. But with Gale's sense of good judgement so impaired, Nick must save her from her own mistakes.
100 Caps Each
When Detective Nick Valentine helps sole survivor Gale Anderson bring supplies to the settlement of Sanctuary, they find one of the community children has gone missing just that day. Together, they must track her to nearby Concorde and a child trafficking ring to save her, but the disparity between Pre-War and post-apocalypse justice will test Gale's sense of mercy.
The Traitor's Mark
Nick Valentine and the sole survivor, Gale Anderson, thought they had made Sanctuary safe after breaking up a ring of child traffickers in the area, but while Gale suffers from radiation sickness, Sanctuary comes under attack by an unknown raider gang. So when yesterday's enemy has returned for revenge, Nick and Gale must face the consequences of Gale's mercifulness.
A Diamond City Christmas
Just when Ellie thinks she will spend this Christmas alone, with her boss, Nick Valentine, off helping Vault 111's sole survivor to find her son, Nick and Gale show back up at the Detective Agency. Though Christmas has changed since Gale's time, Ellie plans to show her how to celebrate in Diamond City style.
Tales from the Commonwealth - Fallout 4
Just what it says on the tin. Stories that take place in the Commonwealth but don't necessarily involve the Sole Survivor.
