After Father Went to Heaven (AFW2H)

This special forces squadron was in the retaking of Anchorage together, were sent to China together, and were frozen in Vault 111 together. The American forces in China during the Sino-American War fought through myriads of commies with the advent of mechanized infantry aka power armor. The horrors they faced made the wasteland a walk in the park but although war never changes, the men and women were never the same after what they faced. The psychological stress is clearest in Ruven Allen who had his wife killed in front of him. Then he found out that his son was leader of the Institute and did what he had to do. No one knows that his son was leader of the malevolent group. Set in the post-game, peace will be shattered by an old enemy. Battles will be fought between old friends. Campaigns will be won by old heroes. (A/N: Several Sole Survivors representing different S.P.E.C.I.A.L set ups. Inspired by builds by FudgeMuppet.) Ruven Allen: High INT/CHA Leader of the squad and recognized general. Power armor expert. (Likes Piper.) Samson Grimes: STR/LUCK ...mostly luck. Luckiest man in the wastes. He punches everything he kills. Some call him “The Idiot Savant” because he hallucinates about giggling, drum sets, guitar riffs and mysterious stranger chick. (Likes... the mysterious stranger?!) Richard Ryan: PER/AGI Aka “Howler”, feared combat assassin and scout so brutal it’s close to cannibalism. Blitzes into combat like a Kamikaze. (Likes Cait.) Roger Nix: PER/AGI Deadly up close with a pistol. He used to be the infiltrator before becoming The Silver Shroud. (Likes Magnolia.) George McFellan: STR/PER Set up machine gunner, he’s mainly a rather sane explosive and pyro expert. However, he likes pyro more. (Is romanced with Fahrenheit.) Alex Manning: INT/AGI The main hacker of the group, “Shades” is so talented he- [WARNING: REDACTED] (Likes [WARNING: REDACTED] aka The Mechanist) PS- Shades was here ;) Aella Clementine: PER/STR Carrying spotter gear and heavy snipers isn’t easy. Sometimes going from spot to spot can get rather close up and personal. Nathan Drew: PER/AGI The sniper of the group. His code name is “Gawd” for some reason. (Reference to the sniper from the 1990’s SEALS movie.) Any likenesses to real people is purely coincidence. War backstories, effects of PTSD and gore descriptions inspired by war biographies/autobiographies from various sources. If you look closely there may be several other references as well ;) While this synopsis is quite light hearted, PTSD, war, and other subjects are regularly talked about or described. Expect lots of angst and then the lovable dark and hilarious absurdity of Fallout’s other traits to even out the angst. Like my other books I’ll try to keep updates below: *9/15/21 Just waiting for more people to read! Kinda disappointed this didn’t pick up despite several 1K, 2K, and 3K chapters. I also have real life stuff going on but leave comments! I’m still around.*

"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."

War... war doesn't change...

It did, however, change me...

"Cruz? Ada? It's time." I said, my voice being projected through my power armor, "Amata? Danse? It's been a pleasure."

"Back at you."

"It's been a pleasure, civilian. Ad Victoriam."

I put one mechanized fist in the other and applied pressure, popping my fingers. After popping the other hand, I took my automatic shotgun, loaded a drum onto it and test spun the special Ripper bayonet.

"Audaces fortuna iuvat."*

I kicked the Castle keep door open and hit the jump boosters before landing atop an enemy soldier. He collapsed into the dirt unharmed, he never got the chance to scramble up as I put my foot down on his chest and ripped an arm and leg off with my free hand.

Then I curb stomped his braincase into powder and began to let a familiar instinct take over me. I didn't pay attention to my victims' skin fraying thread by thread before my very eyes as I tore, nor their silenced screams, or the bullets that came down like rain. The ashes, the smells, they were all familiar to me as I embraced the inner nature war has given me.

The nature to rip and tear, until it is done...

I swatted another enemy aside like a fly, blood spitting from his mouth as I did, and I ran through the soldiers towards a Hellfire Knight. Using my momentum I stabbed my Ripper bayonet into her, causing her to shuffle back a few steps. Turning on the chainsaw I took it out, and swiped her exposed neck with the Ripper before kicking her armored head clean from her shoulders.

I cussed when a plasma bolt hit above my kidneys and I launched into the air. Drop kicking two men upon a butt-to-dirt landing I got up and began making spaghetti toppings with my shotty. Once I hit empty, I was reloading when someone in power armor kicked me, snapping my shotgun like a twig.

"You know," the heavily armored soldier said through his helm, "you shouldn't have listened to the ex-Sentinel. I shouldn't have listened to him all those years ago."

A/N: *Latin: Fortune favors the audacious.

And now a short overview of the General's world. This is brief to illustrate the setting of this post game story and will affect the plot.

World Overview

The world is made up by Man, & Mankind is made up by the choices they make and those choices have consequences. Therefore, the world is made up of Mankind's consequences.

The Sole Survivors went with the Minutemen into the Institute. Ruven Allen, aka Iron Man (because of his charisma, intelligence and affinity for power armor), was the biological father of Shaun. Nora is dead and the Sole Survivors will be addressed in more detail later.

In the Brotherhood, Danse and Maxson are at odds with one another at what to do. Now that the Institute is gone so is their reason for being in the Commonwealth. Unless, of course, Maxson wishes to impose his will upon the Commonwealth via the panoply of war or influence. The Prywedn, after all, is a pretty persuasive card in Maxson's deck. Plus, the Brotherhood have began repairs to Liberty Prime to bring back the power of the former Lyon Elders. Danse is the middleman between the Minutemen and the Brotherhood. (Danse's... secret has not been found out. Don't spoil 😈)

The mayor of Dimond City has been exposed as a synth and killed. The committee has yet to elect a new mayor but some suspect that Ruven will be elected. Piper's reputation has skyrocketed... in the good way of course.

Virgil was unable to get the serum for his condition.

The Railroad and Minutemen have a de facto alliance going. The Minutemen's attempts of neutrality with the Railroad potentially vilifies them with the Brotherhood.

Meanwhile, static is brewing in the uncharted areas of Far Harbor and Nuka-World. While the Minutemen celebrate, a potentially greater foe lurks near Sanctuary. Waiting to strike...

A short 700 word intro. Next chapter is 3000+ though
