Summary
If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled to death.
-Daniel Quinn, The Story of B
As Grace and Rocky work to save their suns, Rocky begins courting Grace. Except Grace has no idea he's being courted and Rocky has no plans to tell him any time soon.

Summary
Everybody's favorite emotionally repressed Railroad agent is trying to work through how he actually feels about his fellow Death Bunny, all while trying to avoid supermutants, coursers, ferals, and, oh yeah....feelings. She can't know how he sees her, that she's everything he isn't. He not willing to sacrifice what they already have on the sorry hope she might feel the same. She could do better than him. That's what he tells himself, anyway.
(Important character note: My Sole Survivor is Shaun's Aunt (her brother's son), not his mother, because I've always hated how being a parent was forced on you in-game.)

Summary
Caesar is dead, Lanius turned away from the dam, and New Vegas is free of House. The bridge with the NCR has not been burned, instead they have met in the middle with compromise; a continued presence, a seat at the table, but no direct say in any of the direction of New Vegas and its neighbors. The Courier has been careful to maintain more allies than enemies, and she has done so with the intent of trying to do better. Better than the ones who came before her, better for the friends who have helped her make it this far, better than the organization her parents left. She's been called a bleeding heart, too kind, underestimated for her humanity in a place mostly devoid of it. But she is pragmatic, patient, and smart, and when a familiar face winds up bloody and face down in a Freeside alley, she sees a keystone in the permanent end of the Legion. What she doesn't see, however, is just how well the frumentarius she drags from the gutter knows, and wants to know, her.
