Thinking about how my sole survivor, Ellie, literally fell in love with Piper so intensely— like the highs she gave up once she met her, like the chase for a hard-hitting story, like the firm set jaw Pipes gets when she’s standing up for folks, like the bright fire burning as they curl up to stay warm on their journey across the wasteland.
And how Piper fell in love softly— like reading a book, like the gentle giggle Ellie does when flirted with, like the stars shining above them at night, like the gentle neon glow of the Red Rocket sign where they call home.
I love them so much. It’s my canon that pipes calls her blue (duh) so Ellie calls her ladybug ❤️
“Hey Blue, can you read this to me? You do the voices so well.”
“Of course, ladybug. Come sit with me?”
