''[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-21412/Hotpoint+New+California+Dreaming+-+A+Fallout+Universe+Fic.htm New California Dreaming]]'' by Hotpoint ([[http://fanfiction.net/s/5074902/1/New_California_Dreaming Also available on FF.Net]]) is a ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' fanfic. Although it takes place in [[VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}} the Capital Wasteland]], it incorporates many elements from the other games, mainly ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}}'' and later on re-edited to include information from VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas.
The New California Republic has not heard of anything about the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel for too long. Ranger Scout-Sergeant Cassidy Nagor Coyle is sent on a recon mission to check out what's going on.
----
!This fanfic contains examples of the following:
* AnimalMotifs: Discussed. The symbol of the NCR is a bear. Coyle claims many of the tribals he fought called the NCR "the Bear people", and claimed the NCR's success in war came from having the powerful bear as their totem.
* {{Badass}}: Coyle is a Ranger formerly from 1st Recon, he has to be.
** InTheBlood: Coyle happens to be a descendant of the [[VideoGame/{{Fallout 1}} Vault Dweller.]] [[VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}} The Chosen One]] is his cousin.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Coyle visits a lot of places that the Lone Wanderer would eventually go to and is responsible for some of the events.
* BrickJoke: Combined with CallForward. In canon the Galaxy News Radio aerial was shot off by a Super Mutant. Early on here, Coyle thinks about shooting it off and making people believe a Super Mutant did it. When he reaches the Mall proper, he delivers on the promise.
* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: Subverted. When Coyle catches some buckshot with his left hand, it leaves him temporarily unable to use that hand for gunfighting.
* ExactWords:
-->‘You know he didn't say anything about not deliberately shooting him’ Dreamer pointed out, finding a place to lie down where she could put down fire with her R91.
-->‘I think that was meant to be implicit’ Hoff told her, leading the brahmin away from the possible field of fire.
* FanDisservice: Coyle has an unpleasant memory of Ghoul lesbian porn films and Super Mutant lap dancers.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Coyle's response to an awful Super Mutant joke is to open fire.
* GeniusDitz: Moira Brown, just like in canon. In particular, she explains why the .32 Revolver [[SortingAlgorithmOfWeaponEffectiveness sucks so much.]]
* GroinAttack: Discussed. ‘And for what it’s worth aiming the barrel on that thing low, like you’re planning the messiest piece of gender-realignment surgery in history, will make for a very effective threat if you need one of the fuckers to back-off’
* GunsAkimbo: Coyle favours a .44 Desert Eagle and a [=MP9=].
* MadeOfIron: A Super Mutant Overlord can take a gauss round between the eyes and keep on trucking, as Coyle learns painfully. For context, he brought the Gauss Rifle specifically to deal with Brotherhood of Steel PoweredArmor.
* MagneticWeapons: Coyle brought a [[http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/M72_Gauss_Rifle_(Fallout_2) M72 Gauss Rifle]] (not to be confused with the [[http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Scoped_Gauss_Rifle Chinese Gauss Rifle]]) with him to take down BOS PoweredArmor.
* OneRiotOneRanger: Played with. While Coyle is a real badass, he's only supposed to be doing recon, not tearing down strongholds singlehandedly.
* ShoutOut: Coyle mentions a comic book superhero called Captain California who [[TheSixMillionDollarMan was rebuilt after a crash]], received a SuperSerum, [[CaptainAmerica was frozen and later revived by]] [[Film/{{Terminator}} Skynet]][[note]]There's a real entity called Skynet in Fallout canon, but deal with it[[/note]], also getting to punch a villainous leader in the face, and fighting [[SupermanAtEarthsEnd three clones of Frank Horrigan.]] Derek thinks it's a stupid idea, especially after Coyle says that Captain California picked up a [[ComicBook/SilverSurfer flying surfboard.]] Hotpoint's author's notes proceed to give a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial about the inspirations.

* SinkOrSwimMentor: At one point Coyle forces Dreamer to take on two radscorpions as part of live fire training.
* TakingYouWithMe: Agatha's method for deterring raiders is a mininuke. She doesn't have a launcher for it, but figures that threatening to "Hit the damn thing with a hammer" would do the trick.
* WhoWouldBeStupidEnough: Coyle is offered a quest by Moira Brown, but is less than willing to horribly mutilate himself. A few weeks later, some sucker from Vault 101 takes the job...
