Very soon I will finally finish my fanfic. I have already written the main part. I just need to correct a few things.

I had an idea for an AU where circumstances conspire to allow Autumn to conceal his involvement in James's death. The grief-stricken lone wanderer is brought to a cell. Autumn initially wants to torture the password out of him, but decides to try another approach: trust. He awkwardly recounts how hae himself lost his father, how he suffered from it, and assures him that the Enclave will be able to complete the project. After the conversation, the wanderer tells the password himself. Could this awaken repressed paternal instincts in the Colonel? Would he then want to bring the orphan a magazine or a book to ease his boredom in the cell? I know it sounds rather naive, but Autumn is a rather empty character, so it's not like it's completely out of character.

It's a rather controversial take, but I like Alphonse more than Jonas, because despite all his flaws, he at least has something resembling a personality and an internal conflict, like the torn between his position as an overseer and his love for his daughter. Plus, he allows for a "freedom vs safety" dilemma (the wasteland is still full of raiders, slavers, super mutants, and the vault guards struggle with radroaches), which is probably cliched, but not bad. Jonas is just a nice guy who needs to die to raise the stakes.
