Summary
When Cooper Howard finally opened up his family’s cryo pods, he didn’t expect to find someone else entirely:
Courier Six, frozen for fifteen years and waking up in a world where her (known) life’s work has been wiped away, forced to rebuild her life from nothing for the second time.
His search for his family and her path to revenge lead to the same destination.

Summary
“Thank you, Charon,” she says, looking down at the mug in her hand. A lump forms in her throat, overwhelming emotion threatening to take over. “For taking care of me. You didn’t have to.”
“I do,” he says, his voice a low murmur across the crackling of the fire.
“You don’t,” she says, clutching at the handle. “I’ve read your contract. It applies to combat only. Not— my emotional well being. What would I do without you?”
“Survive,” he says, “like always.”
—
The Lone Wanderer wakes up outside Vault 106 with a lump on her head and a monster they couldn’t even have dreamed up in the vault looking down over her.
It’s not that she doesn’t know she has amnesia. It’s just a little hard to believe it's been three years since she left Vault 101 when she doesn’t even have the memories of leaving.

Summary
“So here’s what’s going to happen,” he drawled as he circled around to the back to access the zipper. Nora couldn’t help but notice the way he dragged his hand around the front of the mannequin's waist. It made the dress shimmer. “We are only a couple miles out from Goodneighbor. So we aren’t going back to one of yer little settlements, we are going to mine for the night.
“We are gonna get cleaned up, you are going to put on this dress – because it’s absolutely gonna fit – and we’re gonna have a date night at the fuckin’ Rail.”
-
Or the one where Hancock offers to shave Nora's legs with his knife, and everything spins out of control.

Summary
Hancock had good reasons—great reasons, even—for hating Paladin Danse: his organizational ties; his comic-book-hero face; his "perfect soldier" demeanor; his blind devotion to a stupid cause. But the biggest reason he hated Danse, the most secret reason, was for the way he made Nora smile.
