Summary
Arcade Gannon meets the woman who would soon become his best friend, a loudmouth, impulsive lesbian named Rory Wood, when she stumbles into the Old Mormon Fort with a debilitating leg wound.
Soon, they cannot imagine traveling the wastes without one another, sharing a traveler's journal to keep track of all they discover together--but Rory's chaotic nature gets them trapped in the Legion fortress, with no way out until she does Caesar’s bidding with regards to the Platinum Chip.
Soon, the two are separated, and must adjust to life in captivity while they figure how to find each other again. Rory meets a young slave woman with whom she quickly bonds, despite neither of them speaking the same language, and Arcade is faced with a momentous task that will determine whether they are set free.
Whether or not they’ll escape the Fort, however, is only the beginning of their troubles.
This story explores the emotional depth of a queer, platonic friendship, delves into Arcade's past being raised by a single, Jewish mother, and reminds us that fate will always put us where we need to be, with the people we need to be there with--even when it gets scary.

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
It takes an especially difficult run-in with some super mutants for Mac and our SS to realize some things are worth fighting for. A non-story-specific scene that takes place between initiating the romance with MacCready and any time you ask him for his thoughts after that.
