From the lives of Vault dwellers to the horrors of raider rule each story is a glimpse into the survival despair and fleeting hope that define the post nuclear wasteland.
No saviors. No second chances. Just the truth of Fallout. None of these stories are canon btw. They're are original.

What if House Won at The End of New Vegas
The wind off Lake Mead still carries the smell of burning insulation when a courier stands at the intake tower with a single sheet of heavy bond paper in his pocket, and that paper decides the fate of an entire desert. What follows the fall of Hoover Dam is not a war but an accounting, as Mr. House turns General Oliver's surrender into an invoice, prices the Colorado at five caps a gallon, and lets the NCR discover what happens when the water simply stops flowing. Told through the eyes of a courier who watches Securitrons clear Freeside, the Kings, and Westside without ever raising their voices, the story traces how the Strip becomes a factory floor, how the Boomers and Nellis become the roof over a locked door, and how California starves in the dark while the Legion eats itself alive across the river. It is a cold, methodical portrait of what victory looks like when a machine holds the ledger and every card dealt is already counted. If you have ever wondered how the Mojave would have looked under House's hand, this is that reckoning, laid out piece by piece. Tell us in the comments whether you think the desert was better off under the man who never showed his face.

The Daily Life of a Member of The Talon Company
I signed my name to a paper I could not read all the way through, in a bar that did not have a name, in a stretch of the Capital Wasteland where nobody asked what you did before and nobody was going to remember what you did after. That is the honest start of it. Not a battle. Not some story where a raider burned my home down and I swore vengeance under a red sky. I was hungry, and there was a man across the table from me with clean armor and cleaner hands, and he had food in front of him, and I did not, and that was most of the reasoning right there.
I want to be plain about that, because plain is the only way I know how to talk about any of this. People who never wore the red will tell you a man does not just decide to become Talon Company one morning. They will tell you there had to be a moment, a breaking, some line I crossed. There was not. There was a bad winter and a worse spring and a stomach that had gone past growling into a kind of quiet that scared me more than the noise had, and there was a recruiter who knew exactly what that quiet looked like on a face.
He called himself a hiring agent.
