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.
