Can you do the ladies of PFL with an s/o that is just a civilian but is impossibly durable? Like if they got shot by a bullet it wouldn't go through them/barely would or if they got run over by a tank they'd get out mostly fine except for maybe a sprained or broken limb, not an absolutely crushed one. They could probably take a point blank explosion and walk away with only slight burns and minor pain from impact.

Tex actually really appreciates how durable her partner is. She's used them as a meat shield before in a pinch, but she doesn't like making a habit of it, and generally doesn't involve them in her business to begin with. She likes that she can wrestle and be rough with them and they can take it like a champ, even with her enhanced strength. She does get a little huffy that she can't leave bite marks and hickeys on them that easily, but she doesn't dwell on that. She gives them affectionate punches in the arm as often as kisses.

Carolina is honestly a little disturbed whenever she bears witness to her partner's freakish durability, but seeing them survive is still more of a relief than anything else. She feels guilty about it, but she's used them as a meat shield at least once. It's on instinct! Somewhere along the way, some wires got crossed, and she subconsciously put them in the mental basket Maine used to inhabit of being the bulwark at her back. The absolute last thing she ever wants to do is make them feel like she doesn't care about their well-being, though, and the shame makes her get defensive and try to hide. She always comes around in the end though, with apologetic kisses and some kind of present.

South ABSOLUTELY uses her partner as a meat shield-- but never in combat. She just goes out of her way to instigate things, so she can dive behind them with a cackle. She's like a kid with a toy that doubles as a stress ball. Whenever she's in a good mood she'll give them a few punches, whenever she's antsy she'll given them a few punches-- she'll gnaw on them, wrestle them, pick them up and toss them around like a beanbag. Maybe lay on her back and treat them like she's rolling a barrel with her feet whenever it's leg day. It gets pretty excessive, but she'll stop and pout if they get annoyed and tell her that's enough. They're her hyper-durable teddy bear, and she falls asleep squeezing them more often than she'd care to admit. Having them on hand relaxes her.

Connie is nonplussed. She's the only one of the PFL ladies who has never used her partner as a meat shield even once. It was a shock the first time she saw them survive something crazy, and she questioned them thoroughly--ex-SPARTAN? Another unethical UNSC project to try and win the war?--before she added the new information to her mental dossier, and continued on as if nothing happened (although that's not true at all. She's still to this day digging into their background and family history in her spare time trying to figure out where they got it from, to find out if there are any unpleasant side-effects to watch out for down the line). She's relieved they survive what they do, but plans meticulously to keep them out of harms way all the same. The fact that they're a civilian is never forgotten.

479er goes from a verbal "what the fuck?" the first time she witnesses her partner survive an explosion, to thinking it's the absolute funniest shit ever. Whenever company's around and she's had a few beers, she wants her partner to do stunts to show it off. She cackles at all the shocked expressions. Otherwise, it doesn't really come up, beyond her insisting they be the one to climb ladders, and stick their hand down the garbage disposal to fish stuff out whenever she's home. She hasn't needed to use them as a meat shield before, but absolutely would without a second thought, if it ever came up. Don't look at her like that! Some of us are ordinary, non-bulletproof humans, okay?

RvB Friendship Fray- Round One, Part One, Poll Twenty-Two

[riflemansfrequency]

Working on a pretty lighthearted completely about Wash, Church and Carolina recovering a collection of old videos from the main freelancers (North, York, Tex, C.T., South, Maine, and Wyoming + Wash and Carolina), revealing embarrassing yet hilarious secrets and bringing back the small, scarce ‘good memories’ they could muster out of the program, or atleast their the good memories regarding their deceased friends, and I’m looking for small prompts for future chapters? Planning to post a chapter a day and I’m pretty sure I’ll run out of ideas eventually, so if you have any ideas of some freelancer shenanigans, let me KNOW

There’s not a whole lot of implied relationships, other than Yorkalina, and I am so hoping to dabble a little bit in South9er, or whatever their shipname is, i am So hungry for any 479er content and I’m hoping you fellas are too

Work In progress of it so far

[crystalsandbubbletea]

I DIBS SOUTH, TEX, CT, AND NINER-

AND NORTH, YORK, AND CAROLINA-

INTERNATIONAL DIBS PROTOCOL-

Although I am willing to share the custody-

DUMPS THIS ON YOU JUST IN CASE HI!!!!

FLYING BY WIRE

cw: plane crash (ig)

[read on ao3]

“Gods damn it…479er, what’s the verdict??”

“Uhm…not good. Enemy forces seem to have shot down our engine. We’re uh…we’re going down, Carolina.”

Carolina slammed her fist against the Pelican’s hull, muttering a few curses to herself. “Brace for impact, I suppose?”

“Yeah..”

Red lights and sirens blared throughout the cockpit, sending a horrible pit down into 479er’s stomach, desperately trying to find a way to fix this, despite knowing it would be futile. She just wanted Carolina to be safe…

Her train of thought was abruptly stopped when she noticed the Earth just below the Pelican. She jumped and clutched her hands to her neck and folded in on herself, assuming a brace position.

There was only a slight thud before everything went black.

—

“NINER!! WAKE UP!! oh please, please wake up…” A familiar voice called, fading into view. 479er groaned as she opened her weary eyes to see an equally familiar cyan helmet fade into view.

“Huh…Carolina? Did-did we make it?”

“Yeah, yeah we made it…I think we made it.”

479er breathed a heavy sigh and sat up, noticing Carolina clutching onto her body and holding her tight. She was a bit surprised, but gave Carolina a few loving pats on the back and pulled away, looking out the smashed cockpit window at the cold, dark landscape around them. A bit of glass clinked when she stepped her armored feet on the floor.

“Looks cold…really cold…God, I can barely see out of this with all the frost on it.”

“Should we try to get out there?”

“No, no, don’t. I’ll contact command if the radios still work. Even then, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve got trackers in our armor.”

479er shrugged and walked over to the back of the ship, which was only illuminated by the faint glow of a flickering red light. Everything was lopsided because of how the ship fell when it crashed, and the heat wasn’t working either.

From the cockpit, Carolina let out a frustrated grunt and slammed her hand against the hull once more.

“Radio busted?”

“Radio busted.”

She let out a hard sigh. Walking over to 479er, who still had her arms crossed over her chest. One part force of habit, one part to keep as warm as she could.

Carolina rested her back against the hard metal walls of the Pelican, clutching her face in her hands. She was obviously distraught, angry, and maybe a little scared. No. Definitely a little scared. The longer they sat around, the more their body temperature would drop. The more their body temperature would drop, the more likely they’d…

No. Don’t think about that. Stop, stop thinking that.

479er slid down next to Carolina, not exactly looking her in the eye. She inched her hand a bit closer until she just barely nudged against Carolina’s armor. She pulled away once the other noticed.

Carolina looked at her from beyond the helmet, but eventually did take it off to look her in the eye. She let down her bright red hair from its carefully tied ponytail and wrapped it around her neck like a scarf. Those green eyes like the swirling of an angry sea stared back at 479er, and nobody said a word.

Without much warning, Carolina took 479er into her arms. 479er slowly embraced her back, closing her eyes with her head pressed against the other woman’s chest, listening to the sound of her rising heartbeat.

Then, she heard a sniffle, then a slight whimper, and a salty, wet drop fall onto her head. She looked up at Carolina, and saw she was crying. It hurt. 479er hugged her a bit tighter. She couldn’t fully imagine how it felt to have to be so perfect, so amazing, the number one freelancer on that leaderboard, for so so long to so many people.

She realized that Carolina needed someone. Someone in someplace at sometime where she could just let that go. 479er was that one. And hell, sitting in the back of a crashed Pelican in the middle of a snowstorm just might be that time.

They didn’t speak, but they didn’t need to. They didn’t need to say what they were feeling then. Every action spoke much louder than any word in the english language could.

After a while of holding each other, Carolina sniffled and looked down at 479er for a moment, realizing that after god knows how long, she’s ended up falling asleep, head rested right up against her heart. She smiled and leaned over to kiss her on the head.

Both of them ended up sleeping through that cold night, and were thankfully located and taken back to the Mother of Invention not too long after. It turned into a moment that they wouldn’t forget, and they still looked at each other in the most peculiar way when their eyes met. 

yaaaaa thanks for reading. i’m the one shot master so almost all of my writing is one shots and short little stuff. i hope to write more stuffs later if i’m not too busy :3

MY THROAT HURTS

THATSSSS 479ERR????

[immortal-dreamer]

Now we got the freelancers + 479er! I should also mention I’ll fix everyone’s armors to be more detailed later, but next up is gonna be the Chorus Gang!

da rebs n bloos

I’m moving back home this week, but I didn’t wanna lose my artistic touch during that time, so I figured why not draw my favorite color-coded gang! These are the sketches, but they’re all gonna be fully lined and colored hopefully before the end of pride month!

So far I’ve got Red Team (+Doc) and Blue Team. I’m planning on doing the Freelancers, the Chorus Gang/Mercs, and Shatter Squad/Viper!

Reblogs are much appreciated!!!

Inspirations for my face claims are from @karvviie, @papanorth, @jomeimei421, and @vashstash! Thank you guys so much for being massive inspirations for my works, you guys are super cool and amazing!

Things I will be taking as Canon from RVB Restoration:

Sarge cares enough for Caboose that he would go back and save him for no reason other than he cares for him.

Tucker cares about Caboose enough that it was able to snap him out of mind control for just a few seconds, something we don't see with the Meta.

There was still a part of Epsilon in Wash (if I saw that last scene correctly)

If given the power to do so, the first thing Simmons would do was give the love of his life that ability to get out of the army, the thing he assumes he would want more than anything. (Though in my version they leave /together/

479er is still out there and doing great.

If Washes recovery beacon goes off, Carolina WILL stop EVERYTHING she's doing to track him down.

If Sarge were to die, he'd leave Simmons his shotgun.

Things I will not be taking as Canon from RVB Restoration:

The rest of it.

The fact that everything past S13 is reconed except Wash Angst

Please add your own!
