Summary
Rachel is grateful that Miles has upgraded her living accommodations in Philadelphia, but she can't help but think that something is off. He doesn't listen to her, but the feeling won't go away. Rachel only gets pulled deeper into the mystery as she's left to deal with it alone.
Set during Rachel's time in captivity before Miles left. Based on the short story of the same name that traumatized me in high school English.

Summary
A story where Charlie has been captured by the Monroe Militia, taking place somewhere late season one-ish. As enemies of war, Charlie and Monroe should have nothing but hate for each other. And yet, they're both broken people left with gaping wounds from the people they've lost. Maybe they're exactly what the other person needs to fill in the gaps and feel whole again.

Summary
In New Vegas, you can forget your pain with any one of the attractions designed to lure in customers--the fights, the girls, the booze, the games of chance. Charlie, now a bartender, tries hard to forget everything that happened in the Nano-World over a month ago, everything her mom told her, and Bass has been patiently letting her, always keeping a close watch from afar. But now there's a looming threat on the horizon, someone Charlie'd forgotten all about. Another power rising from the ashes of the old world, ready to bring hell to Bass Monroe and the Matheson family.

Summary
Six months after the events of Constant, the nanites resurrect Bass to help them fight a new enemy and task Charlie with making sure that he lives up to the potential they see in him. Eventual Charloe.
While technically it is a sequel to Constant (my story where Bass heroically sacrifices himself during the events at the end of the series finale), you could read this one without reading Constant. My version of a Charloe-centric Season 3 picking up after the series finale (no comics).Bookmarked by backtobusiness

Summary
Picks up right where season 2 ended. Miles, Bass, Charlie, and the others have been living with the Texas Rangers for the last three months, working to fight the Patriots. When ugly secrets come to light about "that night in Philly," the small Matheson clan splits up: Rachel leads a group to Bradbury to fight the Nanites, while Bass forms his own group to take out the Patriots. Two separate quests: could they be more connected than anyone realized?
Slow-burn Charloe goodness!
