MacCready should always be in 5+ layers and each layer has its own concealed weapon. He even sleeps in his day clothes because he gets worried otherwise. He used to not sleep with all the weapons- he did it as a kid, but with Lucy the pair sort of stopped, they made each other feel safe- not that they didn’t have around 2 weapons each. But after her death, he went full on weaponry mode. He’s a walking armoury.

Morning mungos, this is a Lucy Lamplight appreciation post.

She saved his life? Aw??

She was born… in Lamplight? As in, to a 15-year-old?

She became a full medic at seven??

Red is her sister?

(Bumble is also her sister according to her entry)

A compilation of wonderful Lucy lines:

And two very cute exchanges with MacCready:

Also an ongoing romantic rivalry with Princess which is adorable.

Final note: According to some very tenuous canon from Fallout Shelter Online, she seems to have met MacCready on the outside while they were both hunting the same deathclaw to protect her village. So she continued to be awesome and was definitely an amazing mother.

People need to stop leaving me alone to marinate in AU ideas, because I've got another one.

In this, characters are switched with the person they knew who had died. Basically their stories are almost the same as the original, except a different choice may have lead to their deaths.

MacCready stayed behind for Lucy and Duncan to escape, but was killed by ghouls in the process. She wouldn't have known about Mac's Gunner past until a while after he died, when they're harassing her for taking jobs in the Commonwealth, and she might be less of an asshole (I love Mac, but he has moments), but maybe she's just as sarcastic?

Piper tries to expose the truth against the mayor conspiring with raiders, but died in the process, leaving her father alone with a young Nat. Would he be a romance option?

Deacon was killed protecting his wife from the University point Deathclaws, giving her time to escape and be taken in by the Railroad.

Cutler is instead the one who found Danse mutated (or found out Danse was killed and replaced by a synth) and killed him.

introducing my lone wanderer, josie cacho 🤍 the big sister of little lamplight

she has a very creative vault-tec approved list of family friend curses that she is sure to share with maccready. she’s known for the oversized tunnel snakes jacket she got from butch on her escape from the vault. she was supposed to work on pip-boys, but that fell flat when she ended up becoming the world renowned babysitter. lucy maclean archetype. when you see someone so hateful that it inspires you to be kind.

me: i'm not going to write a sad fic about MacCready and Lucy before Duncan is born and after, including leading up to her death. also me: is starting to do so anyways and have it completely outlined.

Update time!

I haven’t missed a day off NoSkipNovember since I started, and I’ve written two rough draft chapters and am partially through a third! Editing will happen at a later date; I’m kind of stuck on whether one of these chapters is accurate to MacCready’s character. So I’m just ignoring the mind gremlin telling me to edit and focusing on writing new stuff.

The chapter I’m currently working on is sad and dark, and I’ve been listening to music to get me in that mood. Ran into two songs that reminds me of Lucy and MacCready:

My Love- Sia

Hurts Like Hell- Tommee Profitt ft. Fleurie

And for the Deacon lovers:

Three- Sleeping At Last

I’ll be going back to my gremlin corner now.

I think that Mac is so touch starved that when Sole comes in to give him a hug, he kinda pushes them away until the hug happens and then it's like letting open the floodgates and now he isn't letting go.

This man needs to be held so tight and for so long it's almost ridiculous.

I agree 1000000%

he is so touch starved and he doesn’t even realize it until he gets a hug and is like… oh

I can imagine he’d feel kinda guilty because he hasn’t let anyone hold him like that since Lucy. And he’s kinda guilty about it but he can’t just stop, not when he realizes how good it actually feels and how much he needs it

I can also see him as someone that may or may not shed some tears if ever cornered with a genuine, long “I love you” hug

Maccready, sweating: So there's something I want to ask y- Lucy: Finally, you're proposing! Maccready: …….How did you know that?! Lucy: Sweetheart, you've dropped the ring five times during dinner alone. Lucy: I even picked it up once.

[vamporilla]

Lucy: I like your shirt!

MacCready: Thanks.

MacCready, remembering girls like bad boys: I stole it.

MacCready, remembering girls also like nice guys: From an old man I was helping walk across the street.

MacCready headcanons:

(Tw for talks of disordered eating, PTSD, death and other Fallout-esque things)

- Man can cook!!! Back in Little Lamplight, all the kids knew how to cook, even if Eclair (and someone different before and after) was ‘the Chef’. After leaving Little Lamplight, he improved his skills quite a bit, and he would cook for him and Lucy. To add on- it’s something he taught Duncan before he fell ill, and when Duncan recovers, the pair cook together quite a bit.

- On the food point. He really, really likes old prewar packets of food. Part of it is that he thinks they taste good (I’m a big canned food fan myself) and the other part is that he doesn’t feel safe without something to eat on him, and that prepacked food is the safest, and often the cheapest

- When he was in the Commonwealth, he only really ate stuff others got for him or that he found/killed himself, but he never went out of his way to get himself food/drink. The only thing he’d really get himself was some alcohol if he’d had a particularly bad day/good payday. He would always feel bad afterwards anyway

- Basically all of his caps go to the Capital Wasteland and Duncan, he sends them via Daisy, in order to hire any doctors he can, and give something to the people who are looking after Duncan

- He’s got pretty good first aid knowledge, along with all the Lamplight kids, because they all learnt it, just to a lesser extent than Lucy and Red.M

- He’s pretty short, due to growing up malnourished and lacking Vitamin D because of the caves. He did not know he was short until he left Little Lamplight. To add to this, Lucy is significantly taller than him.

- Duncan is also quite small as a child, after becoming sick. However, once he recovers, he will have a growth spurt in his teens, and be much taller than MacCready. This frustrates him greatly

- MacCready really likes dogs. He wants to get a dog for Duncan. They do end up getting a dog- she’s named Rosie, and is best friends with Dogmeat. Rosie is one of the scrappy sort of wild dogs, and she is basically glued to Duncan’s side.

- He’s afraid of Feral Ghouls. They freak him out so much. He’s had panic attacks about them. He likes being high, so that they can’t reach him. This is linked to Lucy. It’s also distressing as he feels the most comfortable underground, due to his childhood.

- He always wears his hat to cover his Gunners tattoo (I know he doesn’t have one in game but he does to me.)

- On the topic of hats- one of his voice lines mentions that he wants a Minuteman hat. This w more of an expression of his desire to be better, like the Minutemen. But he does also think the hats are cool. They remind him of comic books

- MacCready is a fan of Preston but he’s also scared of him. A bit. He thinks it’s genuinely impressive, if naive, what Preston wants, and that Preston is the kind of guy he wants Duncan to become. He also likes Preston’s hat. When he first met Preston, he refused to talk to the guy. They both thought the other hated the other (MacCready because of himself being an ex-gunner, and Preston because “why won’t this guy talk to me? What did I do?” Eventually, they actually talk and it turns out that Preston is impressed that MacCready left the gunners, and that, while he disapproves of Mercenaries, he genuinely believes that MacCready doing the right thing for his son is good. When Duncan gets back, MacCready ends up working for the Minutemen, finally becoming the soldier he said he would be to Lucy.

Sorry this post got a bit Preston focussed. Oops

someday i'll see you all again, but in the mean time I'll be collecting some new old friends

[stoat-party]

Lucy went to the Anakin Skywalker School of Flirtation, I see

[elvishdemigod]

I headcanon that the 2 bullets in MacCready's hat has names roughly scratched into them: Duncan, and Lucy

Now lets say you romance him, there's suddenly a 3rd bullet. And if you have Shaun out with you? A 4th.
