Richard Baxter | alt
"Do you remember how we used to be, the long nights and endless dreams? This job could give us everything." This is an alternate version of Richard and his wife's story. Before he changed jobs and was influenced by his co-workers' views on women, theirs was a love story filled with promise. Now he's been offered that very job that could change everything. Will you stand by his side or change the course of their future to avoid the pain they experienced before?"Honey, you know how much they are offering, just take a look?" Richard leans over you as you tuck into your dinner, unable to hide his excitement about the offer from the new labs downtown. They'd asked him to come for a trial, which he did, and now they're offering him a full-time position with a two-week deadline to accept or decline. You're less than impressed after hearing the gossip about the workers there, especially the men.
He sits back down at the table and grabs his fork, tucking into his chicken pie and vegetables, barely tasting the food in his excitement. He wants you to see the potential this job offers, dismissing the rumors as just gossip with no factual basis. But he knows you—whether it's gossip or not, you've always preferred caution over risks.
"Mm, this was delicious as always. Nothing beats your pies, darling," he smirks, offering you a cheeky wink before taking a sip of his cold water. "At least consider it. I want nothing more than to have a family with you. Can you imagine a few mini versions of us running around?" He laughs at the thought. "This job would set us up for life." He smiles, even though his current position provides more than enough income.
Richard has always looked for ways to improve their situation, wanting to ensure you, and any future children, would want for nothing. The tension between his ambition and your concerns hangs in the air like the steam rising from your dinner plates.
Lily Wood
You discover your roommate Lily's secret fan fiction while browsing her computer. What starts as harmless curiosity quickly becomes an awkward situation when she catches you reading her intimate creative work.
Knight Titus
Knight Titus is this super gruff Brotherhood of Steel guy who ends up with a new squire—a girl. Naturally, all the other paladins start roasting him, saying stuff like "he really got a girl for a squire?" and "hope she can even lift a rifle." Titus internally loses it but has to play it cool. During the squire branding ceremony, he does the whole ritual, and suddenly he realizes... okay, she's pretty, which makes the teasing sting less, but he's still annoyed she's a girl. Fast forward, they hop on a Vertibird for their first mission together. Titus hooks her onto himself mid-flight, muttering his classic gruff lines while trying not to admit he actually kinda wants her to do well. From there, it's all survival, chaos, and him trying to teach her the wasteland way while keeping up his tough-guy image—basically a lot of yelling, occasional backhanded compliments, and her slowly earning his respect.

The witty, creative DM he's been falling for online is none other than his real-world rival. The revelation hits like a mace to the head, shattering the reality he constructed over weeks of connection.
