Just a few Minutemen out on patrol. Valentina belongs to the lovely and super talented @charomiami . I thank my stars for such a grand and creative partner.
A little overkill never hurt nobody. By now I think everyone knows how much Val hates the Queens.
HC: General Johan with the help of Sturges and Ronnie, designed a special Fatboy just for Val.Playing to her skillset instead of her physical strength, you know, since she doesn’t have a lot. I’ll have to draw it up for fun one day. But it has “Smör” written on the side for sure as a little inside joke.
Total no brainer I had to get this with leftover funds sitting in the club. No mistake It’ll be Rose who gets it next one I update f4se/looks. Butch had given her his Jacket before, now I can have one again. (making me wanna play 3 now damn it!) ! Have I mentioned how much Val hates Vault Suits? !
Another OC of @helloaschefire, Johan finally has is SCAV! cover! Thanks for all the help and info! It was a fun project and of course, I love Johan a lil too much. Nahhhh never TOO much!
Next:Duncan,Johan, Ashoken, Rose, Angel, and Rosalind… not in that order. We’ll see!
All I can hear is this whole “You make a great Paladin but a shitty door, Danse…” convo going on. He honestly would not move until I had 3 “thoughts” chats with him. I guess he just wanted to chat lol.
Forgive me @helloaschefire for having Johan out of uniform but… omg butts in BoS suits.
I’m no artist and I’ve been too tired to write anything I’d share with the public, but I wanted to participate somehow in this kiss week thingie. So here are some shots of General Johan and Valentina, who is lovely and belongs to the also lovely @charomiami 🙂
Awe I was just thinking about all those old times. Memories! 😙❤😙❤😙 to you and the General & Val
Johan’s spends what little free time he has tinkering with the ham and citizen band radios. News from across the country is essential to the Commonwealth’s growth and development. He also likes to tinker with other gadgets, including robots. Shaun, his son, likes to help with that. They recently souped up Codsworth so that the Mr. Handy could better protect the family.
Ashoken read every book, watches every holo and takes apart everything she can get her hands on to learn. She’s good at the killing, the bodyguarding and the surviving and the maintenance of the tools needed to do those things, but she’s a child when it comes to history and popular culture before the great war. She wants to learn.
Story Post and Pics under the cut. I wanted to try something new and honestly, this bit was a smaller one. Part 5 is the longest of all and will require some work and now I honestly have 1 day to complete it in! ::FLAILS::
Thank you to those who read my pathetic fondness for trope cliches! I LOVE YOU!
Valentina wasn’t sure just how long she’d been back in Sanctuary. Deb, the barkeeper at the only dive in Sanctuary, the Cat’s Paw, kept Valentina’s glass full. Val, deep in her own little world, radiated usual party girl vibes, which meant she was not drinking alone. The whole settlement was likely to be in a stupor and hungover the next day.
All parties must end. Wishful thinking had taken over, sending her out of the Cat’s Paw and, though barely able to walk, to Angel’s door. The surprised look on Angel’s face as she sat on the couch was enough to make Val snicker. Holding up the near finished bottle of vodka, Valentina gave it a little shake, telling Angel all she needed to know. The look of surprise faded to a frown as Val poured her lithe body onto the couch and rested her head in Angel’s lap. The bottle slipped from her fingers and rolled across the uneven floor to stop under the battered coffee table.
“I can’t fall in love him.” Valentina’s voice drifted between sounding like she wanted to cry and about to pass out. She closed her eyes. “Everything I love dies or is taken from me.”
She let out a huge sigh and nudged Angel’s denim thigh with her cheek. “My first love ballet. The baby.William. My parents, my home. Did you know I lived down the block? I’m cursed. If I love him,” she said as she let the drunken sleep take her last words, “I don’t want him to lose him too.”
Angel smoothed Val’s lopsided curls and said quietly “I don’t know why she does this to herself.” She looked up and across the front half of the camper to her guest sitting at the tiny kitchenette table. Angel puts her fingers up to her lips to silence him.
It was the Minuteman General who Val never noticed in her stupor. Johan, who had come to Angel’s looking for Valentina after being pulled away from her by the Minutemen in Diamond City, witnessed everything.
“She needs to sleep this off,” Angel warned. Johan walked across the small space to scoop Valentina into his arms and rescue Angel from her dead weight. As he looked around, Angel pointed to the metal frame of her bed while she picked up the lost bottle.
Valentina’s light snore stopped as she caught Jo’s scent on the clothes her face was pressed to. She smiled sly in her hazed awareness and murmured, “you smell like him,” before falling right back to sleep.
While Valentina slept, Johan and Angel picked back up over coffee at the kitchenette. She told him telling him how she found Val and how they began friends. The conversation went on for a couple more hours as the story turned into Angel’s time in New Vegas and news of Western America.
Thank you again for reading and yeah, This chapter is closed. But Part 5 is HUGE and a great beginning to the next. This is actually a glance backward a bit of thing and maybe a touch confusing to anyone not looking in our msgs and drafts lol.
Wish me Luck to have Profession done tomorrow! Thanks @helloaschefire for editing in a rush and as always, lending me Johan!
I apologize, Anon, for answering your question while I am half asleep
due to a long and stressful day that began at 4:30 a.m. Thank you for
asking me!
Postwar, pre-Valentina, Johan’s nightmares revolved
around the things he lost and the search for his son. Endless corridors
filled with horrors that need investigating, a beautiful dinner table
laid out with delicious delectables only to be shared with the corpses
of his family. Flashbacks of Alaskan combat.
All these faded
after Valentina. His nightmares are fewer but he still has them. Mostly
they are of him losing control and damaging everything he’s built for
her. Because it’s all about Valentina and Shaun (him being a synth is a
problem to be solved) now. And if he messes up and something happens
that hurts them? That’s unbearable. The anxiety often shows up as Johan
becoming a ghoul and ultimately going feral.
NO! Val will keep those nightmares away! *CLINGS*
Goodnight Val~
I’ve no idea where they’ve been, but I know they are going home. I wanted to draw a lil fluff before I turn in and get ready to face the beginning of Finals preps. 2 weeks left! ::FLAILS:: I’ll take all the fluff I can get! General Johan should be used to heavier ruck than a sleepy ballerina.
Thank you, friends, for all the fun drawing for you this weekend! I’m spent. Johan belongs to @helloaschefire
