Danse x Sole

Paladin Danse/Sole Survivor

Danse is the Brotherhood of Steel's model soldier until Blind Betrayal reveals he is the very thing he was taught to exterminate: a synth. The Sole Survivor can stand between him and execution, and the romance grows out of that shattering of identity. Fic returns endlessly to Danse rebuilding a self outside the Brotherhood's creed.
