14. Ingrained habits/forces of habit (any of the Hux clones!) and 21. Turning points in their life (any OC)

Send me a character + a number and I’ll tell you my headcanons for:

14. Ingrained habits/forces of habit

Seth lists food ingredients (in his head) in order to keep calm - something he’s done since he was quite young. He also still rubs his cybernetic eye, though there’s no need to. 

Caleb digs his nails into his palms when he’s stressed, and he never quite got over the hoarding habits he picked up during his childhood/adolescent years on Jakku. 

Both Tim and Bill eat fast, but for different reasons - Tim because he grew up with several siblings, and Bill because it’s a hangover from his army days.

21. Turning points in their life

Turning points for Ruby (FO4) were discovering her bisexuality as a teen, getting her law degree, getting married, and having Shaun.Oh, and the whole apocalypse thing. And losing her husband. And Shaun.But on the bright side, she met a bunch of interesting folks and fell in love with Piper? So she makes the best of what she has.

And naturally for Kat (FO3) it was leaving the Vault, and then again when her father died. Also when the ghouls slaughtered everyone in Tenpenny Towers after she convinced the residents to give them a chance - she killed them all.

Lastly, for Constantinus (SW) - I’d say the biggest (and most positive) turning point in his life was having his son.

Thank you, I’ve missed these two and the thought of cosy, cuddly Ruby and Piper was such a great reason to get my tablet back out <3

4 for Ruby x Piper? :o

DAILY LIFE PROMPTSGathering Resources

Piper groaned as she flung the last radroach carcass into the backpack. She wouldn’t say she preferred them alive, but they smelled even worse when they were dead. Ruby was still busy wrestling with a rusty car bonnet - absolutely intent that she stripped that particular car for parts. 

“These models were built to last,” was the only thing in way of an explanation that she’d received. There were other cars in the junkyard, but Piper was no expert herself, and Ruby was stubborn as hell once she’d made a decision. So she’d simply shrugged and plucked another cigarette from behind her ear before she put away their contributions to tonight’s dinner in Sanctuary.

“Fuck!” Ruby slammed her fists into the bonnet, hard enough that they should have left a dent. Piper sighed, walked over, and offered her a smoke. Her last one.

“Looks like you need this more than me.” Piper squeezed her arm, and Ruby nodded slowly. “We can always head back, come again with some of Sturges’ tools.”

“I s’pose,” Ruby muttered, running an exasperated hand through her hair. She sat herself down on the rusted bonnet. “I wanted to get that generator fixed up for the Longs. They’ve been there all this time without-”

“I know, and it’s a real shame but...they’ll last one more day. We’ve got enough wood to get a fire going. You’re only one person, Blue. You can’t do it all...though I know you’ll damn well try anyway.” 

“I...yeah, you’re right.”

“'Course I am.” Ruby half-smiled, as Piper planted a quick kiss on her cheek, and then her lips. “Now, let’s get back and grill some roaches.”

18. Tending to injuries (Piper and Ruby?) :O

DAILY LIFE PROMPTSTending to injuries

Ruby rummaged in her satchel until she found a bottle of clean water, her pocket first aid kit, and her travel-size sewing kit. When she opened the tin and produced a small pair of scissors, Piper raised an eyebrow.

“I’m pretty sure it’s not deep enough for stitches.” Ruby grinned, snipping at the air.

“Not for stitches.” She crouched down beside Piper, and began to cut away the fabric around her kneecap, where the blood had already started to soak through. “Best not to irritate it, especially with all these critters about. And don’t worry, love. I promise I’ll fix them up again later.” 

Piper snorted - her trousers were already a patchwork of different colours and materials they’d picked up across the Commonwealth. Ruby peeled the offending fabric away with care. It wasn’t a serious injury, but like she’d said - it was best not to take chances.

“Any chance of you kissing it better?”

"Gross,” Ruby laughed, “ask one of the bloodbugs.” She rinsed the wound with the water to flush away any debris, then dabbed away the last few trickles of blood with a fresh cloth from her kit. 

“Okay. What colour plaster?” Piper chuckled at the question.

“Well, what’ve you got?” 

“...Blue or white.” Piper gave her a sly smile.

“Gotta be blue.”

42. - Do they let each other get away with things that would normally bother them? (Piper/Ruby)

Send me a ship and a number and I'll tell you...

42. Do they let each other get away with things that would normally bother them?

Definitely. Like Piper talking with her hands. Usually this is something that would bother Ruby (it reminds her of a particularly irritating co-worker, pre-war) and it did at first when she met Piper, but now she finds it weirdly endearing. Probably because she loves listening to Piper get all enthusiastic and nerd out over whatever story’s coming up next in Publick Occurrences.

And Piper puts up with Ruby’s snoring during spring/summer when she has hay fever. She doesn’t have the heart to kick her out of bed and likes snuggling her too much to go and sleep on the sofa herself. Plus Ruby’s extreme fangirling over the Silver Shroud. Including regular cosplaying - I’m pretty sure if it was anyone else, this would get pretty annoying, since Piper is a lot less familiar with the Silver Shroud franchise than Ruby or Kent. Though that’s being remedied ;)

Mundus Novus: Piper/Ruby ficlets

I was hoping to write more of Ruby and her apocalyptic reporter girlfriend this month since it’s femslash February and all, and I still might, but it’s a super busy month...but here are some covers I made for my Piper/Ruby ficlets!

Bubblegum and Cigarettes (821 words, NSFW, porn with feelings) Piper and Ruby agreed to take things slow. It worked well, for a time.

Story of the Year (494 words, SFW, domestic fluff) As she woke, Piper’s nose twitched at the familiar scent of wet paint. She could almost smell the freshly painted green walls of Diamond City - of home - here in Ruby’s house.

The Article (342 words, SFW, domestic fluff) Piper wants Ruby's opinion on her latest article, but her girlfriend is taking an insanely long bath.

R U B Y I R V I N G!

Spell a character’s name in my askbox and I’ll tell you my headcanons…

R: What are their hands like?Smol, but she has an iron grip. Also prone to dryness in cold weather.

U: What’s their voice like?Kinda deep. Generally softly spoken, except when she’s playing the Silver Shroud.

B: Do they have any allergies?Just dust and pollen, but it’s not too much of a biggie.

Y: What is one question they’ve always wanted an answer to?“Why me?”

I: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do they love themselves?Depends what kinda day/week/month/year she’s having. But probably around a 6 or 7.

R

V: What’s the easiest way to annoy them?In terms of irritation as opposed to actual anger? Start pointing out inconsistencies in the Silver Shroud canon. 

I

N: What do they usually eat for breakfast?Nowadays, grilled radroach. She’s gross and likes it lol. Pre-war, she liked eating a full English breakfast - she has a big appetite on a morning.

G: How do they flirt?Oh gosh, awkwardly. She’s about as smooth as Piper when she compliments Magnolia’s “set”. It gets marginally better once she’s actually dating someone.
