#like if the au involves the protagonist learning to teleport

[why-is-it-always-autumn]

love a canon divergent au where the butterfly effect causes major seemingly unrelated subplots to just not happen

4, 6, 10, 13, 14, 18, 24 and 28! :3

Thanks for asking! Winter, if you want to learn about Max, Danger, Crystal or Nate Woods (the protagonist of my not-yet-published AU!story), do so! ^^

This goin’ to be a novel.

4. Are they introverted or extroverted?

I’d say she’s balanced, has some introvert aspects and extroverts traits as well. On one hand, she likes to think everything through, most time til the point it hurts, she has no problem with being alone, likes to read (though good books are hard to come by nowadays), tends to avoid crowds and sat on the end of the bench on the subway before the war. On the other hand, she has no problem with starting a conversation with someone, is open-minded about a lots of things, accepts drinks and often asks people to dance with her.

6. Describe their most fond pre-war memory

This is hard. I don’t even know my own most fond memory. Maybe it was the moment when she realized she loved Nate, but I haven’t worked that one out in detail yet. Another fond memory is her last dance with Roger, the man she loved before Nate, on her wedding day (to the latter one).

10. What is their weapon of choice?

As of Chapter 8, her first choice is a Sniper Rifle which covers a long distance AND deadly at the same time, and has a buff 10mm Pistol for close range if things get serious. For big game she always carries a Gauss Rifle, but it could use some more modding to be more lethal.

Later she will change her ballistic rifle to ‘Righteous Authority’. That gun is a game changer.

13. What kind of situations are they likely to avoid?

Combat in general, especially being surrounded by enemies. She’s super wary of Super Mutant Suiciders and Behemoths, Sentry Bots and Assaultrons, and lately Mirelurk Queens. She was lucky to avoid running into a Queen for 7 long months.

Social skill wise, she doesn’t like to involve herself in disputes between sides she doesn’t care about. She doesn’t like to start disputes either, but she protects her friends.

14. Do they have any fears or phobias?

She fears quite some things; that she won’t find Shaun, that those Institute bastards hurt him and that he won’t want to reunite with her (last thing she knows is that he’s about 10 year old, he probably doesn’t even remember her).

She also has a little voice, urging her not to make friends, as the wasteland will claim them sooner or later.

She can’t swim, so she tends to avoid large bodies of water. Has no problem with heights though.

18. Did they find romance in the commonwealth? Who are they with?

Winter’s yet to find (out that she already met) the guy who will steal her heart.

Those who read the AO3 tags or Winter Wonderland already know the answer. Who am I kidding? Of course it’s Danse.

24. What are their insecurities?

Winter isn’t aware that she’s pretty; feels the other way. With her vitiligo spreading, her hair all graying and having a c-sec scar (though it only concerned Nate yet, who assured her it’s healing nicely and not a big deal) she believes her dating days are good as over.

28. How do they cheer themselves up, or how would other characters cheer them up?

A nice cold Nuka-Scotch makes every night more pleasant.

She’s ticklish and Mac knows that. Lucky for her, he is too. When regular tickling doesn’t work, there’s still alcohol.

Nick would tell her something pre-war related or would simply start to list the good deeds she did since she emerged from the vault.

Deacon would commend her efforts and skill-set and would tell a big obvious lie to cheer her up or would simply go saying that they were in trouble without her.

Preston would offer her a drink, whiskey is possible or a Nuka or a shoulder to cry on. Even after being friendzoned he tries his best to supportive, but he accepts she doesn’t looking for him.

Codsworth might tell a story of the good Sir, most likely a hilarious or sentimental one.

Simple being with and listening to Curie (still a Miss Nanny) talk just about anything lifts her mood.

Piper would try the same as Nicl and would offer a box of Snack Cakes.

She would kill X6-88 on sight, seeing him dead would make her feel happy after seeing him teleporting to Institute with Shaun. This might change later, but I doubt it.

Oh wait it wasn’t about companions?

Nate would whisper something he admires about her to her ear, followed by a neck kiss.
