Fallout 4 Fanfic - Tumblr Posts
Someone please write mxm Nick Valentine fics because I would not be able to pull it off. There's too many fem!reader ones and we need to balance out the playing field before I set it on fire. (If there are any I just can't find, please rec them to me otherwise I may cry.)
Spoilers for the Memory Den/Goodneighbor!
So does anyone remember the bit where Nick Valentine spoke in Kellogg's voice for like, one sentence and it was promptly never brought up again (I think)? Is there a fic on that? Because Kellogg somehow infecting and taking over Nick is very cool to me, like a forced betrayal, ish? If you want to use this idea, just credit me, and send me the link if possible cuz I would love to see it :D (just, no smut plz)
I just thought of a fic I'll probably never write but if anyone else wants to I'd be amazed
ANYHOW
A scenario where a faction leader (Elder Maxson, Preston, Desdemona) gets replaced by synth. But instead of the synths acting normal, they turn around and say the Sole Survivor got replaced by a synth, and Sole has to leave for their safety, and either goes to another faction, and or decides to go find the human version of said replaced faction leader
WIP… DAY? (o゜▽゜)o☆
I was tagged by @theartofblossoming! Supposedly for #WIPWednesday but anyways, I’m always happy every time you tag me on something, dear ♪(´▽｀)
So here’s a peek on the chapter that has been killing my few braincells for the past few weeks of Love Gun:
She made him turn elegantly, both bodies in tune with the slow music. It pleasantly surprised MacCready—he was supposed to be the one leading and yet, somehow, she had managed to take control over their dance. There was a sort of harshness in him that Bluebird found entertaining, feeling his rough and indelicate hands. Amused, Bluebird rested her head between his neck and shoulder and MacCready felt how she smiled on his skin.
MacCready suffered the agony from the thought of how unreal everything was. The feeling of her nose and face in his skin and how relaxed she was in his arms. For some strange reason beyond his comprehension, he was happy. He remembered the night of the storm, all wet because of the rain and holding each other’s hands as Bluebird quietly sobbed in the dark. The question of why was she crying traced his mind with curiosity.
The hand MacCready had on her waist travelled across the curves of her slim body to her hip and brought her body closer to him. Bluebird gasped in surprise and responded with a tighter grip on MacCready’s shoulder, but didn’t pull away his hand.
“What am I doing?” MacCready thought as he buried his face on her hair “, what are we doing?”
I don’t know who to tag since I’m still quite new to the community in tumblr, however, I love to tag @theyoftenwhisper in this kind of things, only if you fancy it; no pressure! Thank you so much for your support and feedback.
Anyone who wants to do this tag, feel free to do it and tag me if you want to!
AMA about Love Gun (MacCready x fem!SS)
Hi guys, Keith here!
I’m still kind of new to the FO4 fandom and well, I wanna oficially introduce myself with this AMA about the fanfic I’m writing: Love Gun.
↓ a little bit of information if you’re interested in reading! ↓
Summary: MacCready gets hired by one, if not the most mysterious woman of the Commonwealth.
No name, no talking. MacCready didn’t even know her name or voice but there were two things he could be certain about that peculiar job: he would be handsomely paid and that his boss carried a heavy past on her shoulders and hid it away in the depths of her heart.
MacCready had a policy of not making questions, but it wouldn’t be long until he would drown in a sea of questions.

I’ve been wanting to interact with my readers and reciprocrate the love they have given me through comments, kudos and bookmarks (❁´◡`❁)
So now that you know a bit, you can ask me about anything! For example, you could ask about world setting or places, Bluebird, MacCready, Nick or perhaps about my writing process and things like “what inspired you to...”, know what I mean?
Thank you for your time, have a nice day!
Tagging some people I think would be interested in this post: @theartofblossoming @drimko @kee-yooo @fallout3nerd @hi-its-me-minion ; If not, I’m sorry! Tell me so it doesn’t happen again (。・∀・)ノ
Hi, so I know that you are writing 'Love Gun' in a language that is not your first. Do you publish in both or just English? What drew you to focus on MacCready as a companion and how did you come up with the concept for Bluebird, your 'f!sole'?
Howdy!
I'm writing and publishing it only in English. This is because I want to familiarize with this language in a way that is not only translation— you see, a language has its quirks and things that, when it's seen from other languages' perspective it couldn't make sense. Slang and metaphors are unique according to the language and this remarks the reason why I'm writing in English.
For your second question, at first I was interested in Deacon and in fact, Love Gun was originally planned to have him as the protagonist! It fitted many of the ideas I had and some of those remain in the actual version, but I struggled to make it work. After days and days of uncertainty, I found an old picture I had on my phone about an old playthrough where MacCready was my companion. My mind exploded. Then, after I played FO4 once more and watched a lot of YT videos about companions reactions, I realized he was the one and only. Someone resilent, professional and yet kind, funny and with a lame taste in fashion was a perfect target.
And lastly, Bluebird. Oh my, she was so fun to imagine. As I said previously, this story was first planned as a Deacon x fem!ss and she was completely different to how she now is. I was inspired by this fic (which name I can't remember and God, I'm still looking for the name) where fem!SS was a foreigner, Swedish I think, and had moved to America with her husband to America. She struggled to talk with Deacon and others and the times she forgot how to say a word and her thick accent had driven me insane— in a good way ofc. I had fallen in love with that concept and wanted to play with it. MacCready was more similar to Sole Survivor than I had thought and that was essential to develop his arc in Love Gun.
Bluebird was originally planned to be a scientist! But after some research in AO3, I discarded it because it was overused! I wanted to come up with something different on its own way and after some research, the Bluebird we know came to be. However, the last thing I came up was her pseudonym. I wanted something memorable and tbh, I wanted it to be related with the word "bird" in honor to an ol' WIP of mine called "Songbird". After giving it a lot of thought with WORD opened in my laptop, the name Bluebird came up between some of the suggestions I had and fell in love with it as soon as it was written.
Thank you so much for asking, blossom! Have a nice day, take care (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
After a lot of work, here’s the finished version of Bluebird from Love Gun! And I’m so happy with the result (o゜▽゜)o☆
However I don’t feel like I’ll ever do justice to Bluebird’s tattoo.
She’s the most mysterious woman of the commonwealth, nobody knows her true name or her origins--only her height!
Below I’ll leave the summary of Love Gun, a F!SSxMacCready story, if you’re interested in reading.
Summary: MacCready gets hired by one, if not the most mysterious woman of the Commonwealth.
No name, no talking. MacCready didn’t even know her name or voice but there were two things he could be certain about that peculiar job: he would be handsomely paid and that his boss carried a heavy past on her shoulders and hid it away in the depths of her heart.

SNEAK PEAK TO CHAPTER 2
MacCready placed the barrel of his rifle on one of the edges of their hiding spot, looking through the scope as he aligned the sights on the head of the enemy. He positioned his hand on the trigger and took a deep breath so he wouldn’t miss the shot. “You ready there, Nick?” he questioned without losing sight of his target.
“Yes I am.”
He felt Bluebird’s tapping on his shoulder like she would always do when she meant to tell him she was ready to begin. He smiled and pulled the trigger.
When his target collapsed to the bloodstained floor, shots started to fly across the sides of the room. Nick was good as MacCready expected, but Bluebird was something he had never seen before. Her aiming, her accuracy and the grasp she had on her guns was something that did not feel human but instead mechanical, automatic.
The time they had been together revealed little to nothing about who she was or how she used to be before they met. Mysterious and quiet with magical eyes that mesmerized him every time he saw them. Following his policy costed him knots in his throat and an itchy curiosity in his heart that burnt like a fire that could not be taken out.
He should not be thinking about her. That’s not what he was being paid for. He was paid to be a gun, an extra hand and a “tough guy”; not to think.
Heavy steps were heard behind the door before them, the one they were supposed to go through, and opened loud and wide. More than 10 triggermen came through and opened fire without thinking twice.
“Fuc…” MacCready was about to curse when he remembered a promise, one he made some a long time ago to his son; “crap,” he corrected himself.
