writing maccready is legit so difficult for me as a bitch who uses cursing as a foundational part of sentence structure. he ends up sounding like one of those hecking pupper ass nerds. doesn’t help that he has the attitude of someone who calls people slurs

ANNA WINLOCK // ASTRONOMER

“She was an American astronomer and human computer, one of the first members of female computer group known as "the Harvard Computers." She made the most complete catalog of stars near the north and south poles of her era. She is also remembered for her calculations and studies of asteroids. In particular, she did calculations on 433 Eros and 475 Ocllo.”

Hi! I really like your writing!

Can I request a MacCready x reader where he's patching you up? If possible, can he be denying/ ignoring being in love with you, too?

Wounds ↠ MacCready x Reader

➼ Word Count » 0.7k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ Genre » Romantic, Pinning ➼ A/N » Sorry for the wait, love! I couldn't figure out how I should write him for the longest time, and I still don't feel like I did him much justice, but it's done!

You never imagined that your relationship with the sniper would evolve into anything more than business partners. He made it clear from the start that he didn't have any intention to be your friend. You paid him, he did his job, and that's all the two of you would ever be - until you ran out of currency, that is.

You can remember the exact moment you walked into the Third Rail. A pile of newly attained caps in your pocket that jingled together whenever you jostled your leg too quickly. It was a wonder how you managed to make it that far into town without being mugged, but you supposed the vibrant welcoming from the Mayor himself had more to do with it than you actually appearing as a threat to anyone.

You only wandered into the VIP section out of curiosity. You'd always been a sucker for bar fights, so when you heard an argument brewing up in the back, you couldn't help but be a bit nosy about it.

"You have to tell me when something like this happens." He chided, inspecting the gash on your leg with evident concern. "It's too dangerous out here for you to be ignoring something like this."

"Don't get soft on me." You teased, jerking your leg back at the sting that came when he began pouring water on top of the wound.

You knew you probably shouldn't be joking around at a time like this, but what else could you do? You hated the thought of burdening your companion like this, and after you were so close to arriving at Sanctuary too.

His eyes flickered up to meet your own for a minute before casting them back down at the blood he was washing off your body, "I'm not." He hissed, "I'm making sure my only source of caps stays alive."

You hummed in response, "It's only a scratch. It's not like I'll die. Once we make it back to Sanctuary, I'll have Curie take a look at it, and we'll be back on the road."

"Yeah, well, until then, I'm going to make sure you don't get an infection."

You winced again from the feeling of cold water roughly scrubbing at your wound before gazing apologetically at him.

"I'm fine Mac, really," You said, "It's been healing fine on its own for the past couple of days now"

He takes his hat off of his head and runs a stressed hand through his hair.

He did that same motion in the bar where you'd found him, right after Winlock and Barnes were done confronting him. It made you frown slightly when you saw it.

"Are you.. ok?" You asked slowly, resting a hesitant hand on his shoulder, worried that you might've upset him.

"Are you ok?" He retorted, gesturing vaugely toward your injury.

"I feel fine. Really. I'll be able to make it to the settlement without any support." You assured him - or at least tried to, he didn't seem to be feeling any less concerned, though.

"I just - why didn't you tell me?"

"I knew you'd stress about it." You sighed, "It's nothing, ok? I'll be ok for the time being. Once we're there I'll go straight to the Medic house, alright?"

"Whatever." He muttered, "Come on, I'll carry you on my back until we can get you too a real doctor."

You scoffed playfully, "You're too scrawny to-"

"Get on." He spoke, cutting you off. "I want to get there before it gets dark."

You stared at him for a moment before letting out a sigh and grasping onto his shoulders.

He slotted his arms under your knees carefully, and it was clear by the way he moved over debris that he was trying his hardest not to jostle you too much.

His actions only brought you back to the day you had met. You smiled to yourself as you remembered him counting the caps you'd handed to him before he explained he wouldn't be caring for you in any capacity. He was a bodyguard, not a member of the Minutemen. If you couldn't patch yourself up, then there'd be no reason for him to stay.

You supposed something must've changed between then and now, as he did the one thing he told you he wouldn't.

"What are you breathing in my ear for?" He asked defensively. You could feel his face heating up ever so slightly as you rested your head on his shoulder.

You smiled a little wider, "No reason."

[browsing-and-anon-asking]

Jeez you all are so nice man!!! Got me smiling a lot this week!! And it's only Wednesday!!!!

Let's get started!!!

MACCREADY!!!

I like him.

NOW something that's always messed with me is him being an ex-gunner but NO TATTOO??? Come on. So I just made up a blood type, slapped it on and there we go.

Gave him a camo bandana.(not good at making camo, and also, yes, I drew a small penis it's funny)

I always picture him as a guh with slightly muscular arms, but when you look at his chest and stomach, you can clearly see his ribs showing. He needs caps for more things than just buying out Winlock and Barnes!

Scruffy face

I like to think he read a BUNCH of sewing magazines with Lucy and knows literally

Backpack, I forgot his gun, though now that I realize it... but he had a backpack, too! He's constantly on the move and keeps his little belongings near him.

HANCOCK

Adjusted his coat, mostly bc I forgot how to draw it hi sorry

Tried to draw him without a hat since I gave him hair bit he looked... so un-hancock I cried.

Gave him gloves, but made them ripped up :3

Honestly, ripped up American flag goes hard as a belt. Might do the same sometime(I will not)

Another thing is about his hair. I genuinely love the blonde hair idea and think he looks awesome with it!!

I changed up his 'burns', like with his nose, having half of it there. Made on ear purposely shriveled up to be smaller.

~Nick Valentine~

I remember my old art teacher said on colors with the same shades, like yellower browns with yellow, makes for a burning, untrained eye piece. So a good compliment to those are reds or blues! So, yep, I added those to his color pallete.

Yes, Ellie stitched a heart on his jacket over where his heart should be to poke fun at how bad he is at consoling a customer.

It frustrates me when I don't see wires pretty plainly or anything in robots. I LVOE WIRES!!! So I added them

Didn't add too much to him, I mean, look at that original design. Absolutely perfect<3<3

THANKS SO SO MUCH!!! NEXT POLL WILL BE LATER TONIGHT!!!!

nsfw alphabet — maccready

a/n: this is my first time doing one of these alphabet prompt things and i didn't know they took so long!! whaddahell!! this was so much fun though and i'd definitely be down to do these for other characters as well 🫡

(warning: nsfw below cut! expand to read)

a = aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

he's a koala. a snuggler. a cuddler. once you're done he'll wrap himself around you and kiss your neck, breathing in your scent. every once in a while he might cry a little bit, because he just gets extra emotional after cumming. just comfort him and kiss his cheeks pls

b = body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

i don't think he has a favorite on himself, because he doesn't really think that much about it - and he doesn't have a favorite on you because literally everything about you is his favorite (aw!)

c = cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

not too bothered by it, not a huge fan either. it's there, it's a part of sex, but i don't think it does anything for him (he doesn't love how it's sticky. showers are rare, remember). he does like cumming on the inside of your thighs though, and if you were to ask him to cum anywhere else on you he'd be happy to oblige too

d = dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

when he first came to the commonwealth and joined up with the gunners, he and his team got shitfaced drunk and he and two of his mates all jacked off together and sucked each others dicks. was it winlock and barnes? hmmm

e = experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

he obviously has some experience but homeboy also has no rizz at all :( so i don't think he has a lot of bodies, but i still feel like he's good with his hands. he's also incredibly eager to learn - where you like to be touched etc.

f = favorite position (this goes without saying)

you on top of him. it's the most comfortable for both of you and he loves, loves, loves being able to see your face - and for you to see his face. any position that makes it possible for him to stare at you is game. he also likes that he gets to touch you all over when you're above him

g = goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

he's definitely not trying to be overly serious. he likes to laugh with you, because you just get his humor, and the bedroom is no exception. if there's awkard moments he'd definitely prefer to crack a joke and laugh them off with you instead of dwelling on them (because then he'd overthink) but he does sometimes get a bit sentimental and more serious and repeats again and again how deeply in love he is with you

h = hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

obvs grooming is one of the things people are less concerned with in the wasteland ... he definitely attempted to trim right before he anticipated your first time together though lol

i = intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

grabbing at you, digging his fingers and his nails into your skin and pulling you as close as possible to moan into your ear how much he loves you. his heart is so full knowing he gets to call you his and he has to let you know, even if he's balls deep inside of you (or the other way around)

j = jack off (masturbation headcanon)

i don't feel like he'd jack off that much for no reason, but after he realises his crush on you and how attracted he is to you he'll fucking love doing it. he has to sneak off in the middle of the night sometimes if you're sharing rooms because he gets so fucking hard thinking about youu. one time he's pretty sure you heard him, because he was wanton as hell and couldn't hold back his moans - he finds out later that you got off eight times that night, too

k = kink (one or more of their kinks)

i've said this before but maybe gun or knife play. nothing crazy, if it's a gun the mag is always empty. he's not freaky enough to be fine with accidentally shooting you lol. he just enjoys the rush it gives him when he gets to slide the cold metal across your burning skin (only if you're into it too, obviously)

l = location (favorite places to do the do)

anywhere in a bed. or maybe a couch! because he loves falling asleep with you in his arms (or the other way around) he prefers places like hotels, your camp or your home (wherever that may be for you). semi-public spaces are cool for him too, but like i said, after he cums all he wants to do is cling to you lol

m = motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

it's really not that hard to get him riled up. keep your hand up on his thigh for a while, run your fingers through his hair, praise him - all these things will have his cock twitching in his pants. one time you were treating an injury on his calf, on your knees with his foot in your lap, and you were looking up at him through your lashes, telling him to be a good boy and stop twitching - he almost creamed himself that day ngl

n = no (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

i don't think he'd be into verbal or physical degradation, whether that be giving or receiving. it just doesn't sit right with him - he loves you and doesn't understand why insulting you would be hot? he wants to make you feel good? what the fuck? there's nothing bad to say about or to you anyways, even if he wanted to

o = oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

both! loves giving, loves receiving. he's very sensitive, so if you're good at what you do he might frequently ask you to go down on him. he does the same in return without you having to ask though - he loves the way you taste and how it makes him feel like he's in control for a little while, listening to the noises you make when you're at his mercy

p = pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

he doesn't necessarily go slow, but despite the pace his touch is as gentle as ever. the whole thing is still incredibly intimate, with him whispering sweet 'i love you's' into your ears, but sometimes he gets a bit desperate, chasing that high that he feels every time, seconds before you make him fall apart - he just wants to cum plsss

q = quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

yes but also no? because he gets horny quite easily (and he's not opposed to letting you take care of him wherever the two of you are at that moment) it does happen quite frequently, but he hates that he can't just melt in your arms after and drift off into a nap - and getting cleaned up is also more annoying on the go. take him home first!

r = risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

depends on what it is. he trusts you blindly, so in general he's game to experience with most things if you want to try. if something's completely off limits, though, he'd try to communicate that, even though he's scared you might be disappointed.

s = stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

i don't think he'd last particularly long or short, but he wouldn't need a lot of time to recuperate after the first round. make out with him a little bit, stroke his chest or hump his thigh a little - he'll be ready to go again before you know it

t = toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

no toys in the commonwealth i'm afraid (at least none you should still use), he's perfectly content with using his fingers or his mouth on you and the other way around

u = unfair (how much they like to tease)

loves teasing, loves to be teased :) he likes that you challenge his cheeky behavior, and he thinks your smarts and sarcastic remarks are some of the sexiest things about you. he gets whiny when teased too much, though (he can be a bit of a brat)

v = volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

he's loud. maybe not the first time around, and maybe not if there's people too close, but if the moment's right he just lets loose. he loves moaning your name, and whenever you touch him just right he whines like a slut omg

w = wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

he'd definitely hook up with a ghoul. i think if someone were to completely charm themselves into his pants it wouldn't matter to him whether they're ghoul or not. or maybe he already has? 👁️ bonus headcanon: he's absolutely had a tiny baby crush on magnolia ever since he arrived in goodneighbor (but who doesn't)

x = x-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

i think size wise he'd be just below to average. maybe a lil on the thin side, like the rest of him - but then again we all know skinny people always have the biggest dicks so you might in for a surprise too lol

y = yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

medium to medium high! he's quite easily turned on by default and being around you sends that into overdrive. especially if you like taking advantage of that, he won't complain if you rile him up on purpose. his mind is also really good at reminding him of how your body looks in the dim light or how your voice sounds when you cum or how your fingertips feel when they brush against his nipples ... ah oops he's hard again

z = zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

pretty quickly, but not before getting some quality cuddling time in. it's his favorite thing, with your skin against his (you're warm and soft and lovely and you don't smell like death and decay!!) and he's grown so used to hearing your low breathing that he doesn't think he could fall asleep without it anymore

Commission for @madammeouff of her sole survivor Calamity and MacCready facing off against Winlock and Barnes. Thanks so much for commissioning me and introducing me to your character!

Bonus:

[atombonniebaby]

Better The Third Rail

Not Deacon: One of you mercs lookin' for MacCready? He's in the Back Room.

[gay-spaghetti]

you know what? ... I'm 'bout to say something controversial....

Finn was kinda right.

Was Hancock just letting anybody in?? I mean... he let THEM into Goodneighbor!

WINLOCK AND BARNES!!

Aka: two Gunners that were looking for MacCready---something that Hancock had no reason to NOT be aware of. Even if he somehow didn't know Mac was a former gunner with a target on his head, why the hell would he let in two gunners?!

the answer is: It's Fallout, don't think about it

I love ya, John, but what the hell. You totally coulda cost Mac his head!

Zachariah, entry 2:

“You know, I’m glad I ditch the damn Gunners at Mass Pike Interchange. I was sick of taking orders from Winlock and Barnes”

dude

[yangxiaolongstan]

ok MacCready! I've always thought he was kinda boring so I'm excited to see if he's better than I thought. initial impressions aren't terrible, he's better than he was in Fallout 3 at least. I like the idea of an ex gunner, though he feels weirdly ineffective for a gunner. and after 2 companions who hate when you're mean to people, one who's ok with stealing is nice.

side note, MacCready had a glitch where he refused to gain affinity at all I tried several fixes including downloading a mod that opens the console in survival and using cheats fix it. nothing worked. really unsure if I should count this against the game since, yeah it's not a writing problem. but on the other hand, if I can't access the story, how much credit can I give it? in any case, this analysis comes from watching his quest and conversations on youtube so I don't have firsthand experience with any of them. hopefully this glitch won't happen with any other companions.

first conversation starts off kinda weird, I know Goodneighbor is supposed to be dangerous but honestly, it's more policed than Bunker Hill. even when someone tries to fuck with us, the mayor himself stabs the guy. anyway, MacCready is glad to be out of there. I like that he's itching for caps, and I like his reason. Winlock and Barnes seem genuinely dangerous and the idea of them muscling MacCready out of the market seems like a real problem. maybe even a big enough problem for him to bring it up this early, though it's weird for someone as cagey as him to open up that much that quick. his voice acting is a little off but so is he so I guess it's fine. I do like that he doesn't cuss.

as for the quest, the location is good, intimidating. I like that there are multiple entrypoints. it's one of the more difficult small gunner encampments and usually takes me multiple tries to clear. I wish MacCready had a conversation with Winlock or Barnes though.

conversation 2 is a little rambling and feels like exposition. I get that players who never played 3 might need to understand Little Lamplight for his backstory but it's still weird. not like exposition is abnormal for the second conversation though.

the conversation at 75% is back on track with Winlock and Barnes. I like that MacCready is genuinely thankful to us for our help. and we find out why he doesn't curse. he used to have a wife and a kid, and promised to change for his son. he apparently has a second quest? interesting.

MedTek looks like fun. might go through it on my own later. one of the few places I've never actually explored. and I like that the quest is ambiguous, we don't get to know if we actually saved his son

finally, the romance conversation at 100% affinity. I like the gift. it's adorable. gives you a sense that he really cares about you. we learn his wife is dead. and how her death traumatized him. it feels really weird to make a move 10 seconds after that. and then the conversation just kinda ends. kinda anticlimactic. but I guess it's fine. I would have swapped the reveal she was dead to the 75% conversation and made the 100% conversation about him getting word his son got better.

ngl, I still don't like MacCready. mostly because his glitch made things a pain in the ass. but his story is alright. he's no Cait but he's compelling. I wish he hadn't gotten 2 quests where everyone else got 1 at most. it kinda feels like the writers couldn't choose between the ex gunner stuff and the dead wife sick kid stuff. I probably would have just had the latter part but that requires a bit more rewriting than I think is feasible. next time Nick Valentine, and then I'm probably gonna bite the bullet and do Strong
