FALLOUT — 01.08 "The Beginning"

Okay I have two AUs flicking about in my brain and it both deals with the same situation happening:
“What if Norm was left behind by Hank when he went to go get his kids from Shady Sands? Leaving him with Rose and Moldaver because Hank saw no reason to keep him around.”
Norm as part of the NCR:
NCR!Norm has been raised by Moldaver and the rest of those who survived Shady Sands, growing up knowing his mother’s fate and growing to hate his father and Lucy in some extent. He gets to go to Vault 33 with the raiders and Moldaver, getting to see what woman his older sister has grown into, and finally gets to meets his father again. And he’s disgusted, he’s horrified, and most of all, he’s PISSED because Hank made Lucy believe that Norm never even existed.
So he joins in on the raid, but unlike most of the other raiders, he’s not fighting because though he’s been hardened by the life he’s lived under Moldaver; he’s not going to kill innocent people. He hacks doors, takes down security, helps make the bomb, and finally gets to tell his dad off for abandoning him as a baby.
He works with computers, helps Moldaver with her projects and research, beats everyone in the NCR headquarters at arcade and video games, and is still quiet, but now he’s a bit brasher, a bit more of a fighter, and definitely much more depressive. He also wears Rose’s necklace
Moldaver tells him to calm himself, to rather prepare himself to go pick up Wilzig and CX404 from Ma June’s, and he reluctantly agrees. Leads him to go get Wilzig, realizing he’s already left, and then getting tangled up in some BoS bullshit. He’s forced to tag along, seeing how they’re the only people who can help him track them down, and soon learns to let himself get away from all the anger and bitterness that has plagued him for his whole life.
Norm in this AU is a bitter, young man who has gained the confidence and courage he desperately wanted in the show, but at the loss of those around him and the community he desperately craves.
Norm as part of the BoS:
BoS!Norm ended up in the Brotherhood’s care around the same time as Maximus, Rose giving him up for his own safety and leaving him just with her necklace
Norm is a scribe, he never wanted to be a scribe but they put him as one either way, and he’s one of the youngest scribes on the base. He mainly gets coffee and cleaning duties, but sometimes he just likes watching the Aspirants dueling and doing their jobs. He finds it a nice escape away from how boring being a scribe is.
He watches them from afar, wanting to be like them so badly, but this is the job he was assigned and he’s not gonna fuss. Norm likes the safety that just working with numbers and computers bring him.
His name isn’t Norm in this AU, the Brotherhood gave him a new name, Philo (Greek name derived from the Greek word Philos which means “Lover” & “Friend”), and he takes his job very seriously. He’s also got the biggest, fattest crush on Thaddeus, even after seeing him being a bully, and personally requested to join him on his journey with the other man.
He’s idealistic and truly believes in the BoS’s mission and goals but finds himself miserable and disillusioned with the poor leadership and twisting words of its mission for committing  atrocities.
He meets Lucy near the end, and he’s completely taken aback that she recognizes the necklace, and that’s when he learns that she’s his older sister, that he does have family, and then realizes he was left behind and given up. Lil man goes through an entire identity crisis over this realization as Lucy is so awkward cuz she was told Norm died with their mother during the famine. Also I have some art of Norm in his BoS scribe outfit!
Tumblr media
In both, Norm is still lonely, the black sheep, the person who constantly questions, but at least he feels wanted and needed within his communities. In the NCR AU, he’s Moldaver’s son and second-in-command despite his age, and in the BoS AU, he’s a scribe who does his part for the Brotherhood and finds peace with it.
He’s just so fascinating to play around with lol

THIS is the scariest scene in the entire show (yes even more than the goddam lab scene from episode 6).
He's not bluffing when he says that he loved Rose, and that's what makes his actions that much more despicable. He is capable of loving and caring for others, yet he demonstrates that he is more than willing to suppress it if it means protecting the interests of the corporation he works for.
What do you think is more terrifying? A person with no compassion or empathy, or a person who IS capable of those things BUT CAN TURN IT OFF AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE?!
I can't imagine how Lucy felt hearing him say that he no longer considered Rose to be part of the family (or even as a person) just because she posed a possible threat to Vault-Tec's plans for total control.
And that's what ultimately separates him from Barb Howard:
Barb wanted to use her position at Vault-Tec to help her family.
Hank wanted to use his family to help his position at Vault-Tec.

Hank leaving Rose to die and Moldaver caring for Rose even after she becomes a rotting zombie is peak straight male versus lesbian behavior.

First reaction to the Muldaver and Lucy’s mom reveal was “are they… were they.. gay?” Cause pretty lesbian of her to sustain and take care of that burnt up corpse that couldn’t even talk anymore. Kidnapping the husband that made her that way and junk too.
Mom insists it’s just friendship
