#i'd be such a sucker for a guy who loves plants as much as i do

[moraxsthrone]

so...as lovely as the idea of tighnari bringing you a single pretty flower or a whole carefully selected and arranged bouquet sounds...

he doesn't like to pluck live flowers or the bases of their stems. hence why he always picks leaves and flowers from the forest floor, after they've already fallen naturally.

plus, he'd much rather give you something that has the potential to live for decades, not something that will wither and die in a matter of days.

he's far more likely to dig up a small flowering plant, or take a cutting and place it on a mist table until it roots. then he'll transfer it to a little terra cotta pot, taking special care to ensure that it has a healthy root system and the best potting mix.

he'll bring it to you when he knows you'll most likely be home and offer it as a romantic gesture. it's not a huge, colorful bunch of picked or cut flowers. it's a small plant that only has its green foliage bc the blooms it had when he found it in the wild have long since died and fallen off in the time it took to stand on its own as an established, healthy plant.

but knowing that he's cared for it for weeks after taking a small cutting off one of its mother's branches, that he went to such lengths and meticulous effort to ensure it became its own plant, able to grow and bloom once again in its own right...just for you? you don't take a single leaf for granted. you smile brightly and take the little pot between your hands and immediately start looking for the best place to put it in your little cottage in the trees.

"where do you think would be the best place to put it, nari?" you ask, looking this way and that.

he fights back the smile that threatens to overtake his whole cute face and nods towards your quaint kitchen window. "how about there? that's where it would get the best filtered afternoon light, which it likes the best."

you twirl around and place it lovingly on the small window ledge next to a couple of other plants which have been living there happily for a long time now. you run a gentle finger over one of its little leaves before turning to face tighnari again, a wide smile gracing your lovely face. from the first time he saw you, he's always loved the way the sincerity of your happiness reaches your eyes when you smile at him. the corners of his lips can't help but lift for you in return, his multi-colored eyes widening when you throw your arms around his neck and hug him.

"thank you, nari," you murmur against his neck. "i love it. i'll take really good care of it, i promise."

he relaxes, his arms wrapping tightly around your waist. "i know you will. i wouldn't entrust you with its life otherwise."

you pull back to meet his gaze for a moment. then you kiss him, his tall ears turning and leaning back against his head and his tail swishing quietly behind him when he exhales against your soft, slow lips.

he's so content in this moment, so happy he found someone as beautiful and intelligent as you. but the fact that you obviously care so deeply for plant life...and him...is what is making him fall helplessly in love with you.

I'd love to hear more if you find any new ideas!

Part Two (really Part one) of my Metkayina Headcanons

Spider’s around the same height as Tuk, who is around 8-ish as far as I remember. Consider the Metkayina guys knowing he’s a child, but assuming he’s way younger than he actually is because of how small he is (in comparison to the na’vi). Like, I imagine they haven’t had the type of non-violent interactions with humans that the Omaticaya people have, so they don’t have a lot to go off of. I also think this would make Ronal and Tonowari a lot more angry at the Sully’s for leaving him to fend for himself, because he just can’t be older than ten or eleven.

When Spider is taken into their family, I imagine Aounung and Tsireya would be protective of him. He already knows how to swim, but they’d teach him about all the different plants and show him how to use a spear and all that. I also think this would prevent him from getting bullied the other teenagers, because everyone just kind of assumes he’d a little kid and it’s kind of embarrassing to bully a baby. And Aounung doesn’t know how to interact with anyone new without hazing, so he kind of channels that into going Big Brother mode. (In case it wasn’t obvious by now, I’m a sucker for the Protective Older Sibling thing). I mean, he probably still teases him, but it’s definitely not bullying and if Spider shows a hint of getting actually upset, he’s quick to take it back.

I also like the whole sleep pile thing, with the youngest ending up in the middle. Either the whole family, just the parents, or just the siblings, any work with me. Maybe on special/sad occasions, the whole family sleeps practically on top of each other, but otherwise Aounung and Tsireya think they’re ‘too old’ and sleep on their own pallets. Maybe Spider bounces from Aounung to Tsireya to their parents each night, always ending up with a Na’vi snoring above him and holding him close.

At first, Spider thinks it’s because he’s just a guest, so they don’t have a place for him to sleep. I can see him coming up with little excuses to make the situation make sense, because he can’t really understand that they just want to take care of him for the sake of taking care of him. Like, they need to keep a close eye on him (there always seems to be someone nearby whenever he goes anywhere, obviously they’re worried he’ll do something crazy) (what’s actually happening is that they think he’s this little guy and want to make sure he’s okay). Ronal always makes his plate for him at mealtimes, because she thinks he’ll be greedy and try to take too much, surely (actually, she’s just worried he won’t know what foods he can/can’t eat as a human, so she makes up his plate every time they eat).

Next part up later!

Blog Spotlight

Hello everyone! since i don’t have a ton of time to work on fics and stuff like i used to, i figured i’d use this opportunity to share around some other creators 🥰 i want to be able to show this community more love and support and so i’m going to try and make this a weekly thing! all of the content creators deserve to be shown love and support and if anyone has any creators they’d like me to mention in one of these id love to check out their work and mention them!

the very first creator i’ll be mentioning is my lovely friend @wheels-of-despair

they’re someone that i’ve been mutuals with for a while and i’m so glad that they’re the very first person i’m using for my blog recs!

They write for a variety of Joseph Quinn’s characters and honestly i love to see how much of a genuine fan they are of his characters. She always makes sure to do her research too! For her more historic fics she will always make sure everything is very true to the time period.

They also have their own specific universes for their fics which i love! You’re able to see the difference in personalities when it comes to interacting with the characters.

They collectively have 50+ fanfics already posted for her characters and that’s not including all the other extras 👀

Because they’ve written so much i’ve decided to pick my favorite fic for each of the characters they write for 🥰

Eddie: Wake-Up Call

I’m an absolute sucker for lazy mornings 😂 absolutely adorable and his mannerisms were captured so well! though it’s a shorter fic you’re able to get all the perfect parts in one little package 🥰

Billy: The Little Plant That Could

So sweet! It’s so simple and yet so touching, even if it is just bringing an adorable little plant back to life, i actually got excited to see Billy’s reaction at the end c:

Ralph: Worth It Chapter 5

Picking out just one was a bit tough 😅 but i do love that these fics are written in a way where they can be somewhat read as one-offs as well :) this is the one fic that actually made me shed a tear as i read it, Ralph is just his sweet self as always and it’s hard to not love that!

Tom: The Boyfriend Cure

Though this is their only fic for Tom it was one that i loved nonetheless! Very short and very sweet, i love smaller fics like this, especially when they’re this comforting!

They were also kind enough to let me give them a little interview to help you guys get to know them better 🥰

what got you into writing?

Insanity? 😂 The Brainrot had me in such a chokehold, I had to let it out somehow. I was driving my normal friends crazy. So I came to tumblr last fall, after I'd read almost everything on AO3, and conned eddiemunsonsmum into being my friend. (She wrote a series I read and loved last the summer, when I was still suffering through The Brainrot in silence.) She's the one who convinced me to start writing. So really, this is all her fault. 🥰

do you write anything else other than fanfiction?

I do some writing for work, but it's not that creative.

how many followers do you have?

Closing in on 400. 😳

other than writing, what other interests do you have?

Watching the same things over and over again, and buying things I don't need at thrift stores. 😂 My favorite things to collect are DVDs and old kids' books. I have no place to put either, but if a movie has someone I like in it or a book with cool illustrations was printed before the 70s... yeah, that's probably coming home with me. 😍

if anyone has any of their favorite blogs they’d like me to recommend to everyone i’d be more than happy to check out their work and give them a shoutout 🥰

Okay but has anyone considered what Eloise’s reaction to Colin having them move up the wedding date will be? Imagine at this point the two are reconciled and with Francesca bribing the maid she now knows where babies come from. All the Bridgertons are smiling at the Polin wedding while Eloise plans Colin’s funeral. And later Benedict’s when he compromises Sophie. When she runs off to see Philip she’s like “you compromised my best friend Colin now I’m going to compromise yours!”

Oh yes! I'd totally see Eloise doing that.

Imagine Eloise happy, with her two friends, Penelope and Sophie. Just chillin, until her dumb brothers decide to ruin her fun and steal them away. who the heck is she supposed to befriend now? Hyacinth?? should she move to Scotland to hang out with Francesca?? she'd be far from Penelope if she does that.

So I can see her just waiting, patiently, finding the one guy Benedict and Colin seem to like and is pretty much good friends with both of them who happens to be recently single and going 'YOLO payback time suckers!"

Dear Phillip

I've decided to visit your estate for revenge...I mean for a while. Please get a chaperone, consider this my notice

love Eloise

meanwhile I like the idea of Colin being the first one who notice Eloise is missing because she hasn't come to interrupt his sexy times with Penelope in a few hours and that's definitely weird. Eloise is nothing if not consistent with her efforts to ruin his relationship

Benedict immediately being contacted because if Eloise is running off to the contryside and isn't at Aubrey Hall with Anthyony then she's probably at My Cottage pestering Benedict. But NO.

And then Sophie hands the brothers the binoculars and goes "Oh she's right next door, with your new bestie, remember Phillip"

THE HORROR

"Eloise you can't ruin him! he's a virgin for goodness sake! the guy doesn't know what he's getting into"

"So was Penelope you jerk, you still stole her away!"

"Penelope had more caution than Phillip, this poor man can't even read the red flags all around you"

"You mean like Sophie"

"Phillip you're making a mistake!! don't let my sister compromise you!!, run! save your freedom"

and Phillip the himbo being like "she's perfect, absolutely perfect"

"OH NO, SHE'S MANAGED BRAINWASH HIM, Phillip blink if Eloise is holding your plants hostage"

and that's how things are going to go. it would definitely be fun to watch

and that's the tea

Hey, since your request status is open, i'd like to ask you for some headcanons for eleceed casts, with a crush/gf who poseses powers like Dowon (Tower of God) and Isabella Madrigal. I'm a sucker for nature powers. Or if you write for other fandoms, i'd like to see lookism casts reacting to that too instead of eleceed. That's gonna be wild

sure!! thanks for sending this one in :)

i am so down for nature powers too, god. no limit when it comes to the badassery of plants!

JISUK 

❀ — absolutely enamoured by his nature controller gf. she’s the type to give him flowers a lot even if they weren’t dating yet, so she’d always show the new plants/flowers she discovered she could grow to jisuk first and jisuk Only. of course, jisuk would never admit the way it made his heart flutter so much it could be considered cardiac arrest, nor would he ever confess to keeping the flowers preserved in small jars and between the pages of a special notebook. not at all.

❀ — he’s not a flower type of guy, but it really changed the moment he started hanging out with her and ultimately dating her. back then, jisuk could only point at a flower and say oh yeah right that’s a flower right there. now, jisuk could identify flowers by smell alone. even knows the meanings behind several plants and flowers. (may or may not have been classical conditioned into getting giddy when he sees plants and flowers because he remembers the love of his life.)

❀ — regrettably let his guard down during one of their first spars. definitely got punched in the gut by monster plants that she grew and used to attack during sparring. needless to say, that only made him fall in love more. 10/10 would get punched by his gf’s plants again.

WOOIN

❀ — the sweetest ever. upon getting to know her he had slowly developed an interest for plants and flowers (and nature and general) and was soon studying books about the classifications of these plants. ultimately led to the both of them bonding over their shared love for plants. they could talk about it all day.

❀ — this softie apologizes to her after spars when he has to destroy her plants as a way of defense 😭 “sorry i took down alberto... (the name they coined for the colossal tree with spikes sharp enough to maim) ...i really liked him...” 

❀ — she sometimes grows stuff without knowing it, or grows stuff as an experiment/to test her strength in trying out new plants, but those really don’t sit right with her sometimes since it’s not Perfect to her yet. wooin, though, will take those ‘imperfect’ plants and take care of it every day. for someone who has such destructive powers, wooin really loves the way his crush (or gf) can make things come to life so easily. he loves everything she makes.   

JIWOO 

❀ — best boy. always gets hyped when she uses her power, even if its just something as small as a flower with very tiny petals. constantly looks forward to the different things she’ll grow too, whether it be small, pretty flowers to colossal versions of various carnivorous plants. never does a day go by without her hearing a variant of you’re so cool!! by a very ecstatic jiwoo.

❀ — if they live together, they’re surely going to keep many plants. it’s always a result of her trying out new stuff and challenging the limits of her powers that way. whatever the case, jiwoo will never fail to wake up every morning to water them and greet them good morning. it will also, without fail, always make her smile.

❀ — whenever she comes over at his house, the kitties go absolutely wild. the reason for that is because she grows catnip out of her palm and throws a party for the kittens. the time she and jiwoo spend together like that was always bound to end up in lots of laughing and wild kittens all over their backs. 

KAYDEN

❀ — will never not be thrilled at the way he’ll be sparring with her and a large venus flytrap comes out of the ground and nearly swallows him whole.

❀ — with that being said, this man is quite Amazed at her powers no matter how much he tries to hide it. there’s always something new that she could make and several strategies that utilise different types of plants, so it’s a new challenge for kayden every day. even more so for their enemies; when they’re fighting someone together, he just knows the enemy is going to have their sorry asses kicked so hard by poisonous plants the size of literal skyscrapers. it’s very fun.

❀ — cheesy. knows far more about the flower language than one would think, and would sometimes go out of his way to tease his gf in flower language. (to which she’d respond back with by growing her own flowers. and adding extra spikes and thorns). one time, though, when he was feeling especially cheesy, he had arranged something that meant i love you. she doted on him a lot for the gesture, but she really, really kept it close to her heart. neither of them have still gotten over it up to this day though.

❀ — during more intimate moments between them, he surely cherishes the life that just. Surrounds her. he keeps petals from her flowers with him in some sort of locket wherever he goes, puts potted plants in various safehouses when he’s on the run. the very thought of her creations gives him a sense of home.

#eleceed #yoo jisuk #wooin #seo jiwoo #kayden break #sorry i couldn't include more of the main cast ;;; i'll try to expand on this one next time!! #✐ headcanons

Domestic Headcanons (Bayverse! Leonardo)

Hoping these will help me get over writers block, so have some Domestic!Bayverse! Leo.

Nobody asked for it, but I have a feeling you're gonna need it 🥴💙

Hoping to do one of these for each of the boys, so that I can get over my writer's block!! Thank you all for your patience as I'm writing your requests and getting them out!!! I love you all!!

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Okay, so first off, Leo and s/o (you) would probably live in the suburbs, if say, mutants had been normalized.

Something modern, but simple, a very easy pick for Leo. Would also include a pool, because not does he need his swimming time (and more... Personal time with you...😉💙)

Something like this ⬇ is what I had in mind, because this boy likes it nice and modern.

Your house is probably the main "go-to" house when it comes to family gatherings, parties, etc. since it has a lot of space. Leo would probably throw a football draft party or something like that, just because he can 🙄.

Now, if we're talking about Leo himself, then there are so many routes we could go down.

Leo is consistent on keeping the house clean, dusting, sweeping, picking up the clutter, that kind of thing. It's not uncommon to see him come home from work and immediately start cleaning the house.

He doesn't mind chores at all, and will probably take on most of them (except vacuuming... He HATES the noise for some reason...)

You will probably do most of the cooking since Leo has ZERO kitchen skills, so he's always eager to follow after your cooking by wiping down the counter, doing the dishes, and setting the table.

If we're talking pets, Leo would probably prefer a pet that's a little easier to take care of, like a few fish or something like that. And off he buys the nicest tank and filter so these fish ACTUALLY stay alive for a time longer than both of you expected. He might consider getting a parakeet as well, since he doesn't mind cleaning out the cage, and he wants to teach it your favorite song to whistle 😭💙.

The closest thing to any other pets are his bonsais, and really just plants overall.UHM SUCCULENTS?! So many of them!! Like in almost EVERY WINDOW SILL there's a little flower box or pots of plants. He LOVES his plants, and even convinces you to plant a little garden box on your terrace 🥺 (although you don't need much convincing at all, since he's so damn cute ��💙)

He makes sure to get a jacuzzi tub, because we know he needs a warm bath to unwind after a hard day at work... Also because he prefers you to join him-

He has a great taste for indoor decor, however, isn't the best at taking an idea and putting it out in front of him, so he chooses the decorations and you do the decorating. Some ideas?? ⬇⬇

Egg chairs are a MUST since he needs to sit comfortably with his shell. Also, I feel like there would be a lot of DaVinci paintings hanging up everywhere (no explanation needed there), succulents, bonsais, also warm or soft blue lighting, since he hates those kind of lights that make your eyes strain.

He is THE BEST HUSBAND OMG.

#1 dad, cannot convince me otherwise and has the softest spot for the neighbor kids who ask to come over and play in your pool. You guys are the power couple of your neighborhood, and he's the kind of dad that would have "manly conversations" with the guy next door over your fence or at cookouts 😩.

You guys BOTH mow the lawn, because you want to help out as much as you can, and loves the way that you cut the grass in perfect lines.

He doesn't know much about shopping or fashion, so he's constantly asking you to help him or go shopping for him.

THE BIGGEST SUCKER FOR CABLE-KNIT/UGLY SWEATERS 😂

Even if he doesn't have the best taste in clothing, gODAMN, DOES HE KNOW HOW TO PICK OUT JEWELRY. Even if you're not the biggest fans of bracelets or necklaces, Leo always seems to know the perfect one for you?? Like... Always??

His favorite pass time is probably quiet time with you. Doesn't matter where, as long as there's peace. May it be over dinner, reading, or watching some weird sit-com together on TV, he's constantly wanting to be with you and calm 💙💙.

Is the BEST at self-care days. Face masks, massages... Fun time... you name it, he's got it. Meditation time is his favorite, though you aren't the biggest fan.

So yeah, I'd live with this hottie if I were given the choice, and I think he would be great in domestic settings 💙💙.

Thank you so much @turtle-babe83 for checking in and making sure that I'm doing okay!! 🥺🥺💙💜 Love ya girlie!!

Ma’am, I am in NEED of some Hoosier fluff. Could you oblige me, please? Don’t worry if it’s too much trouble lol. I’m sorry, but I also have a couple of your prompts that I love: “how they are with kids” and “you make me smile”. I’m a sucker for the whole guy-who-gets-along-with-curious-kids…maybe they’re curious about the American Marine? Anyways, thanks a bunch! 💜💜❤️

Dahling I'd be happy to oblige any day of the week (lol). One round of Hoosier fluff coming right up!!

Yours and Hoosier's kids are a curious bunch to say the least

They're all under the age of seven so they wanna know about everyone and everything

Your daughter once came in with a strange plant asking "Mommy?? Daddy?? What's this?"

And one of your sons once asked why Hoosier's shoes smelled so bad

Sheer and utter embarrassment came when one of them asked why you two were wrestling one night

Let's face it, most of the questions they asked were kind of embarrassing

Until one night when you guys went up to the attic at Hoosier's grandfather's house to sort some things out

You found a trunk full of all sorts of odds and ends, a box of old, faded letters, some worn out clothes etc.

And it wasn't until you saw the dates on the letters that you realized that it wasn't just a box of stuff

And then you found the photographs of Hoosier's grandmother and grandfather

And you learned that Hoosier's grandfather had also been a Marine

The kids all began asking questions about what was in the letters

Some of it you couldn't tell them

But you told them that great-grandpa had loved great-grandma very much

And that like Mommy and Daddy, they had gotten separated during a war

But had come back together when both Daddy and great-grandpa had been in the hospital

Though the kids were too young to understand

You and Hoosier understood completely

Because through the curiosity of your kids

It brought you closer together

Hello! Sorry to bother, but could you possibly do the companions +Maxson reacting to Sosu begin almost killed by a raider in power armor because the raider stepped on Sosu (Who had been previously knocked down) and the raider just slowly keeps adding pressure. I'd greatly prefer romance, if I may. Thank you for your time! I also apologize if this is too graphic, you don't have to do this if it's too gross.

I got really into this one. I’m a sucker for the romanced companions. Please enjoy!

FO4 (❤️) Companions (+Nick, Deacon, & Maxson) React: Sole Getting Slowly Crushed By a Raider in Power Armor

Sole and their companion had spent the greater half of the day attempting to take over Outpost Zimonja from a group of Raiders, and they appeared to have the upper hand.

Just when they thought they had taken out the final Raider, Sole was roughly picked up and slammed onto the ground facedown.

The Raider boss— a man in power armor who called himself Boomer— placed a foot on Sole’s back.

Sole yelped in pain, and the Raider boss let out a sinister laugh.

He stepped on Sole harder, this time resulting in a sickening crack.

Sole’s eyes began to water, and Boomer looked menacingly at [companion].

Preston:

“Is this really necessary?” Preston pled, “How you Raiders get satisfaction from torturing others is beyond me.”

Boomer laughed thunderously.

“Because,” he said, pressing down harder on Sole, “It’s fun to watch them suffer.”

Preston clenched his teeth. He didn’t have the manpower to take down the Raider.

Or did he?

“Now are ya gonna do anything? Or is your little friend gonna be squished like a Radroach?”

Preston set off a flare.

Boomer did not take kindly to this.

“Why I oughta—“

Crack!

Preston used the butt of his musket to crack the Raider’s helmet.

Before the Raider could fight back, he was brought down by the force of about ten bodies tackling him in unison.

The Minutemen had arrived.

Preston ran over to Sole, helped them up, checked to see if they were okay, and then got right back into the heat of the battle.

The surprise ambush had severely weakened Boomer’s armor. He eventually succumbed to the relentless attacks.

“Thank you, everyone. We couldn’t have defeated him without your help.”

When the Minutemen had dispersed, Preston approached Sole and pulled them into a hug.

“I’m so glad you’re okay,” he whispered, “I love you.”

Hancock:

“If you think I’m just gonna sit her and let ya step all over my friend here, then you’ve got another thing comin, punk,” Hancock threatened.

Boomer laughed.

“Yeah? And what’s a ghoul gonna do about it? I could probably snap ya in half between my pinky and my thumb.”

Hancock smirked before reaching into his coat and pulling out a syringe of psychobuff. He injected himself with it, and his mouth immediately contorted into a deranged grin.

“Shoulda quit while you were ahead, pal,” Hancock stated before charging at the enemy.

Boomer staggered a bit, buying Hancock enough time to whip out his knife and stab the Raider’s helmet.

His drug-induced jabs were strong enough to smash through the protective facepiece and right into the Raider’s eyeball.

“ARGH! My fuckin eye!”

Hancock didn’t stop.

He stabbed the raider in the face so frantically that his enemy had become almost unrecognizable.

Boomer fell to the ground just as the drugs began to wear off. Hancock then pulled out his shotgun and blew the man’s head off.

After he was sure Boomer was dead, he helped Sole to their feet, pulling them into a tight embrace.

“That’s what he gets for messin with us, doll,” the ghoul rasped, gently petting Sole’s hair, “I’m just glad you’re doin okay.”

Gage:

“Boomer! What the fuck,” Gage hollered, “Back off!”

“Aw, looks like Gagey’s getting soft, ey?” The raider taunted.

Gage growled.

“You n your little clique here has done nothin but cause problems. We sent ya out here to claim this turf. And ya have. But for yerselves. You lyin, greedy sacks of shit,” the raider continued, “And now yer gonna crush the fuckin overboss? The fuck’s the matter with ya? They already want you dead over in Nuka World. Why not give em another fuckin reason?”

“Do ya think I give a rat’s ass about the overboss, Gage?” he hissed, “The last one ya picked was a fuckin tool. Screwed us all over. How can we trust this one ain’t equally as shitty?”

Boomer chuckled and pressed down harder, causing Sole’s nose to spew blood.

Gage had had enough. He picked up a molotov and whipped it straight into the Raider’s head.

The force of the throw caused the fiery bottle to shatter across Boomer’s face, prompting him to roar in pain.

“Fuck you, Boomer,” Gage as he cradled a severly injured Sole in his arms. He looked at them softly, “Sorry ya had to suffer like that, babe. Ya gonna be alright?”

Sole nodded and Gage gave them a tight hug.

“Yer a real trooper, bo

Cait

Without hesitation, Cait whipped out her baseball bat.

“That’s it! I’m gonna bash yer skull in ye bastard!”

The redhead proceded to furiously whack Boomer on the arms, legs, chest, and head.

The Raider chuckled before lifting Cait off the ground and throwing her behind him like a ragdoll.

Cait hit the ground with a sickening thud before hearing Sole cry out again.

Boomer was crushing them.

Cait racked her brain for ideas when she spotted it: the fusion core.

She gripped her bat tight and bashed the core with all her might. It shattered into a million pieces.

The power armor went limp and she charged into it, effectively knocking Boomer to the ground.

She pulled out her shotgun, ripped off Boomer’s helmet, and stuffed the barrel into his mouth.

“You sure do know how to show a girl a good time,” she scoffed, pulling the trigger.

She scrambled over to her lover, sitting them upright.

“Yer safe now. Please, talk to me darlin,” she pled, slightly shaking Sole. Hert companion groaned and cracked an eye open.

“Yer alive! Oh, thank god!” She exclaimed, planting a rough kiss on their cheek, “I knew ye wouldn’t let yerself die to a spineless raider!”

Piper:

“Stop! You’re hurting [him/her]!”

“You got a good set of eyes there, doll.” Boomer hissed. He applied more pressure to Sole’s back and they let out a weak cry.

“Oh god…”

“Ya gonna try tah free em, or am I gonna haveta crush em?”

Piper racked her brain for ideas, but she was so flustered she couldn’t think of any. He was frozen.

The raider applied more pressure and Sole’s nose started to bleed.

“Blue! I—” before she could finish, something caught her eye. A note.

Boomer if we fucking find out where you’ve been hiding.

We’re coming after you. And we’re going to fucking murder you.

-Shank

Piper grabbed the note and held it up.

“Look bud. I know you’re in some hot water with the raiders, and I happen to be a reporter,” Piper announced, “Let my friend go, or I will make sure every raider across the Commonwealth knows where you’re hiding. Got it?”

Boomer growled.

“Why you little— I oughta— I— argh! Fine!” He said, stepping off Sole and kicking them to the side, “This weak fucker ain’t worth sparin with any of the raider gangs.”

He turned on his heels.

“Not a fuckin peep about my whereabouts. Got it, bitch?”

Piper nodded. “You got it.”

When Shank was out of sight, Piper lifted her injured companion into her arms.

“Oh, Blue. I’m so sorry I couldn't help you sooner than I did,” she cried, “But I’m so happy you’re alive!”

The reporter proceeded to shower her lover in kisses as they weakly clung to her.

MacCready:

“What’s your problem? Let [him/her] go!”

Boomer laughed, “Yeah. I don’t think that’s gonna happen, little man.”

MacCready grit his teeth.

“How much do you want?”

Boomer stopped laughing, his face suddenly serious.

“How much you’ve got to offer?”

MacCready laughed, “Look dude. I know how this goes. I’m not going to be the first to number drop. You want the caps, you name the price.”

Boomer rolled his eyes.

“Fine. 2500.”

“A little high, dontcha think?”

Sole glared at MacCready. If looks could kill, the merc would be six feet under. He caught their gaze and winked at them.

“2300.”

“Do I look like I’m made of caps, pal,” MacCready pressed, “2000 and you got yourself a deal.”

“Fine! Fine! Just give me my fucking money.” Boomer huffed.

MacCready fished through his duster and pulled out the caps.

The Raider greedily accepted the caps and turned around to walk away.

MacCready then helped Sole to their feet and briefly assessed them to see if they had any life-threatening injuries.

They didn’t.

Before Sole had the chance to rip MacCready a new one,however, he gave them a quick peck on the forehead, equipped his sniper, and climbed onto a bluff.

Boomer was still in plain sight. MacCready smirked as he aimed for the fusion core and shot.

He saw Boomer’s armor go limp, before watching him crawl out.

“Excellent.”

The merc aimed for the Raider’s head, held his breath, and pulled the trigger. He watched his enemies head explode, creating a shower of blood and skull fragments.

He then slid down from the bluff and ran up to Sole, pulling them into a hug.

“Before you kill me! I knew the only way to get him off you was to offer caps. I didn’t want to esculate the situation,” MacCready explained. He planted a gentle kiss on the top of Sole’s head, “I didn’t want to risk him hurting you. I didn’t...I couldn’t...I wouldn’t be able to watch you suffer like that. I love you too much.”

Nick:

Ting!

Something barely noticeable hit Boomer’s armor.

“The fuck was that?” He asked, looking around, “Was that you,tin can?”

“Says the guy in the power armor.”

“Yeah, whatever. It was probably a bug or some shit.

Nick smirked and put away the syringer rifle he was holding; the Raider was completely oblivious to the hack dart he had been struck with.

“You know Boomer, I think it would be more badass to crush [name] with your fists. I mean anybody can get crushed. It happens all the time.”

Sole looked horrified, but Nick continued.

“But to crush the life out of someone with your fists, Now that. That’s nothing to scoff at.”

The raider contemplated for a moment and agreed.

“You know what, grandpa? You’re right.”

Boomer picked Sole off the ground with the intent to squeeze the life out of them.

Sole closed their eyes and grit their teeth. They couldn’t believe Valentine, of all people, was a traitor.

“This is gonna be fun” Boomer growled, “Rest in pe—“

He suddenly dropped Sole.

“Hey what the hell?”

He then started to punch himself in the face.

“What...the fuck...is...argh! Goin on!?”

“Stop hitting yourself,” Nick teased, controlling the power armor’s actions, “Why are you hitting yourself?”

“Leave me—argh! Alone!”

“Fine, fine,” Nick agreed, putting down the controls, “Run along now, Boomer.”

“Yeah, I will! And Tenpines Bluff is gonna get the blunt of my anger!”

“He just had to push it, didn’t he?”

Boomer turned on his heels and fled.

Just before he was out of sight, Nick pressed a button and the power armor exploded, instantly killing the hostile Raider.

“Yeah, he isn’t going to be messing with any settlements on my watch,” Nick stated, while walking over to his lover. He held out a hand and Sole accepted it.

“Glad to see you’re alright, dear,” Nick said, pulling Sole into a hug and giving them a kiss on the cheek, “Now. Shall we get moving?”

Curie:

“[Name]!” Curie called, “I will get you vree!”

“Like hell you will.” Boomer called, swinging at Curie. She dodged, and then pulled out a knife.

“Zir! I eenzist you stop!”

Boomer grabbed at her and tried to fling her to the side, but Curie clamped onto his arm.

“H-Hey! Get off!”

He tried shaking her off, but she wouldn’t budge.

“Eef power armor ees anyzing like human anatomy, zen— ”

She swung her knife under the crack between the helmet and the chest piece and sparks went flying. She had severed one of the most important wires in the suit.

“Aha!”

“Argh! You bitch, what the hell did you do!? My power armor ain’t workin!”

Curie took a deep breath and calmed herself before mustering a powerful voice, “Leave or eet eez you’re neck...uh...zir!”

The raider grumbled.

“Fine, whatever. This dump ain’t worth all the trouble anyway.”

When the raider had stomped out of sight, Curie giggled.

“Did I zound zcary, [Madame/Monsieur]? I’ve been practicing my inteemidating voice!”

She helped Sole up and pulled them into an embrace.

“I’m zo glad you are zafe, my love,” Curie whispered, “I was truly worried.”

Danse:

Danse didn’t hesitate— he charged directly at Boomer in his own set of power armor.

The raider was taken aback by Danse’s swift response and staggered a bit.

Danse used this moment of hesitation to deliver a powerful blow to the enemy’s fusion core.

“Shit!”

Shards of glass flew in every direction, the dead suit slumping into a useless pile of metal.

Boomer was forced to crawl out of the suit and meet his opponent face-to-face.

“Not so tough now, are you?” Danse asked, towering over the Raider.

“Fuck you,” Boomer cursed, “Why don’t ya come outta your power armor and make it an even fight?”

“I’m not fighting for entertainment purposes,” Danse explained, trying his hardest to keep his cool, “You tried to kill my friend, and I’m not standing for it.”

“Yeah? And what’s stoppin me now, huh? Just cuz I don’t have fancy armor doesn’t mean I ain’t gonna kill [him/her]!”

“You lay one finger on [him/her], you’re dead,” Danse growled, “Leave. Now.”

“Urgh. Fine. None of ya’lls are worth my time anyway. I’ll just go slaughter some stupid settlers. They’re easy pickins anyway.”

Just as Boomer turned his back, Danse picked him up and piledrived him into the concrete ground. The force of the impact made the Raider’s head splatter.

Sole looked appalled and Danse furrowed his eyebrows.

“I...I didn’t mean for his demise to be quite so...barbaric. I just couldn't stand by and let him walk free knowing he was going to murder innocent civilians,” Danse shook his head, “But enough about that. Are you okay, [name]?”

Sole nodded and Danse smiled. He planted a gentle kiss on the top of their head and opened his arms as if to embrace them, but playfully ruffled their hair instead.

“I would have given you a hug, but I’m sure you’ve exceeded your crushed-by-power-armor quota for the day.”

Maxson

“As the Elder of the Brotherhood of Steel, I order you to let my partner free.”

“Big talk from a little man in a fluffy jacket.”

Maxson clenched his fist. “You’re digging your own grave, punk.”

Boomer smirked.

“Oh, really? Well, what are you going to do about it?” He hissed, pressing down on Sole’s back harder. Sole let out a yelp.

“This!” Maxson tossed a signal grenade and within seconds two Vertibirds appeared overhead.

“What is this shit?”

A storm of bullets rained down on the Raider.

“ARGH!!”

Sole got pelted by a few bullets, but the Raider absorbed most of them.

The next thing they knew, Sole was being lifted off the ground

“You’re safe now, sweetheart. Don’t worry.” Maxson reassured, carrying Sole to the nearest Vertibird, “I wasn’t going to let that scoundrel crush you.”

When Sole and Maxson made it into the aircraft, the Elder planted a kiss on their forehead.

“We’ll have Cade examine you for injuries, but you should be alright. I’m just glad you’re okay.”

Deacon:

Deacon— who had managed to strip down to his underwear and throw on a brahmin skull— started clapping, prompting Boomer to raise an eyebrow in confusion.

“Wha—?”

“Congrats! You’ve passed!” Deacon exclaimed.

“Passed? Passed what? Who the fuck are you?”

Deacon pretended to be surprised.

“Wha—you don’t know me? I’m Bones. From HQ? I was sent out to test the raider bosses. Yanno, see if they can hold their own against intruders.”

Boomer scoffed, “Well of course I fuckin passed then. I ain’t no pushover.”

“Right,” Deacon smirked, “Well, you’ve earned yourself a shipment of supplies. Just clean up the corpses and let my partner go.”

Boomer nodded and stepped off Sole. Sole took a few moments to recuperate before scrambling to their feet. Deacon winked at them,

“Thanks. We’ll be on our way now.”

When Sole and Deacon had gotten far enough away from the raider boss, the duo loaded up a Fat Man and sent a mini nuke his way.

“Enjoy the shipment, jackass!”
