Schmaultober 4: Heartaches by the Number

Based on a scene from part 5 of the longfic, Vincent, Redefined, this artwork started with an initial sketch by the lovely @hpysprkl . I've had fun bringing it to a finished piece, just in time for this perfect Shmaultober prompt!

Somebody get Vin a tissue...

(Thankyou again, Kiki, for getting me back to drawing!)

Wedding Gifts

@theartofblossoming submitted a request for what certain companions and npcs would give as wedding gifts to MacCready and her OC Vin

Sorry it took me so long! I didn’t get a notification.

Curie: Probably something to do with research. I think she’d supply some experimental flowers to decorate the wedding as a gift.

Jun and Marcy Long: Something that’s more for the kids, and a promise to watch them to give Vin and MacCready some alone time

The Atom Cats: Either really good power armor up grades, or matching paint jobs

Cait: A very nice bottle of whiskey

Daisy: A working camera and an antique picture frame that she bought off of someone that didn’t understand the value

Here's MacCready's Cowboy

He's never ridden a horse, never thrown a lasso, never lived in the country and never even played one on the silver screen.

Mac still thinks he looks like one, though.

They have several nicknames for each other. Vin calls Mac 'Longshot' or 'GrogMac' but rarely RJ, only when he needs to get his attention (and almost never Robert).

~Portraits of our Boys~

Duncan's growing up so fast! Has it really been two years already since we all became a family? Shaun might not be changing on the outside but we have a pre-teen on our hands!

People say they look like us. Of course, little MacDunc looks like his Dad but I can kinda guess what Lucy looked like, too. Folks say he reminds them of me, though, in the way he talks sometimes. It's true, he copies his 'Vin-Pop'.

As for my Shauny, he has his mom's 'lawyer stare' when he's trying to get his own way but he talks (and whines) like Mac and now, sometimes like an Atom Cat since that one visit. Everybody's name is 'Jack' this month!

We're so proud of our boys. It's as if they've always been brothers. Well, they always will be.

Inspired by co-writing with @the-laridian

Vin and Mac are just a couple of goofballs sometimes.

Derailed...

" 'Does everbody assume collateral obliteration now?' Damn Raiders should cut back on the psycho," Mac chuckled. "Say what?" "Raiders and psycho, man." "No, the other thing." Vin moved over to look down at the scratched surface. His auburn brows descended in concentration, muscles in his jaw working away as he read the odd phrase until he suddenly paled. "Dickin' fragbomb." "Well, that's a new one…" grumbled Mac, then he realised that Vin was about to have one of his Post Combat Stress Syndrome episodes. His right arm and leg were shaking, he'd gone very pale and his breath was coming in ragged, irregular gasps. "Heh..hey! Vin! I got you, sit down here." Mac quickly cleared rubble off the nearby staircase. His blue eyes were full of concern but alert, nonetheless, his voice gentle. When he was certain that Vin was not getting any worse, he risked asking, "What set off the shakes this time, bear?" Vin made an audible effort to steady his breathing until he could speak. "That phrase. Read… read the first letter of each..." he took a deep breath, "each word." "D..E..A..C.. oh."
