The Fallout TV show is incredibly unfaithful to the games. It should have started with a 20 minute sequence where Lucy's facial features morph and her hairstyle changes, followed by a tutorial section where she learns how to crouch.

i don’t care about my sole survivors appearance it takes me like 5 minutes, i just gotta make sure she’s thick

All the night scenes in the Fallout show are so dark. They should have lit it like the games and had all of the characters talking to the vault dweller girl have a bright green pip-boy light shining directly in their face

The Price of Truth (2/2)

Pairing: Bucky x Reader

Warnings: Fake death, grief, mourning, swearing, mentions of attempted suicide, angst ofc, and is that a reunion I see?

Summary: When Bucky Barnes’s life is threatened, SHIELD decides to hide him under the radar by faking his death. The issue comes when (Y/N) doesn’t have a high enough clearance to know the truth, and when telling the truth could result in the failure of the mission and the dangerous consequences for Bucky.

Word Count: 3,573

AN: Not proofread yet oops. I might write some drabbles regarding future moments with these characters if you have any requests! Especially if ya’ll want to see Bucky’s POV or their conversations regarding what happened. Any other requests for stories you might want, send my way! I might keep them for future inspiration so if you don’t get a response, that’s why :)

Part 1

When Steve entered the Avengers compound, his body and mind were exhausted. He was weighed down not only by the physically demanding missions recently, but he was also struggling under the pressure he committed to as captain. It was his responsibility to take charge of his team even if it hurt him to do so at times. Because of this, guilt plagued him. It rattled in his bones to see his friends mourning, their grief sending them to completely disregard their own lives and care. It pained him deeply, and a knot in his chest pulled every time he had the opportunity to reveal the truth that would take away the searing pain of his teammates.

He only had to hold it in for this last mission if it went well. It had been a week since the incident, and he was trying to get this done as quick as possible before you, in specific, did anything drastic. So when he walked into the main floor of the compound, the living area completely empty, he let out a deep breath. The mission had taken two days to complete, but it was a success, and once he drew up the forms for paperwork, Bucky would be able to come back to the compound from the safe house he was located at. It would take everything to gain his team’s trust back after such a large lie, after such a destructive and traumatic lie, but Bucky would be alive. Besides, Steve himself was not the one who gave the orders for this mission. Fury himself directed Steve on this mission, only allowing him to know the inner workings of it. Steve had all but gotten down on his knees to beg for him to be able to tell you, knowing the impact this would have on your overall health and life, but there was no budging when it came to Nick Fury. In fact, you were the one person Fury wanted Steve to especially not tell. The reason Bucky was in so much danger was because the hostiles after the weapons were after any weapon, including the Winter Soldier himself, and a mole within SHIELD had been helping direct them to him. Your own grief and reaction to the incident would send a clear message to the mole that this was indeed real.

It was only when Steve would be leaving and could not keep an eye on you that he began to fear the worst. He had seen your self-destructive behavior, your lack of food intake, the lack of wound care, the self-isolation… So he told the one person he trusted with his life to watch you. Because if there was one person who was not the mole, could keep her composure to such shocking news, and continue to be stoic in her fake grief as much as she was in her true grief – it was Natasha.

After the meeting with the team, he had pulled her aside and told her what the mission was really for. These were the hostiles who had not actually killed Bucky but were after him. Their end goal was dangerous for humankind and adding the Winter Soldier to the mix wouldn’t have ended well. Bucky was actually safe, and he would continue to be until they were able to end the hostiles in the upcoming mission. If it all went according to plan, he would be home soon. He just had to beg Natasha to make sure you made it that long.

y’all idk about you but i actually live in saskatchewan and lemme tell you, i’ve only ever heard one song from ride the cyclone but when that twink said he worked at the taco bell in uranium city, i laughed out loud. uranium city has a population of like 500 and our own capital city doesn’t even have a taco bell. the first time i tried a doritos locos tacos was in 2019.

i looked it up and. uranium is in northwestern saskatchewan (unless there’s some second uranium). this shook me to my core bc mischa is “the best rapper in all northeastern saskatchewan” unless i’m remembering the line wrong which. wouldn’t be a stretch. all the saskatchewan taco bells i could find were in the mid-south of the province all clustered together. there could be more north, but i believe op.

since i was trying to see “haha how long would it take noel to get to work” i tried to find a closer location. friends, teachers, ominous novelty machine, the nearest taco bell to uranium is in alberta. ie, another province. i don’t know the distance yet bc when i googled it it didn’t tell me. whether that’s a result of me being in australia or not i don’t care. i care about the fact that noel gruber canonically has to drive to another province to do his job. with gas prices the way they are, is he really going to be able to save money for france anyway?

this has been a psa

i’m actually a historian within my dinky lil province and can tell you everything you raised questions about despite it mainly being about taco bells and distance lol.

all of the taco bells in saskatchewan are located in saskatoon, sk and there’s only 3 locations. and while the statement that the closest taco bell is in alberta, fort mcmurray to be exact, is true, it still would not be feasible for this dude to get to work.

uranium city is so far up north in the boonies that you need a plane to get there. hence the airport. it isn’t used for commercial air travel, just local air travel and it costs an arm and a leg.

also in saskatchewan, we like to measure distance with time. kilometres? sorry, those don’t exist. we like to know at what time we’d get to a place. and for this kid to get from his home in uranium city to his job at taco bell, whether in fort mac or saskatoon, he’d have to take a road trip that would last at least 24 hours long. or a plane that costs a boat load of money.

is ride the cyclone just a fictional musical? eh, somewhat. a crash did happen on a ride called the cyclone, but it happened in coney island in 2007.

i think they just picked uranium city, saskatchewan because it sounded cool. in reality, it’s just a basically abandoned town from when uranium mining was huge.

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

UPDATE Y’ALL

taco bell just announced a 200 restaurant expansion within saskatchewan and manitoba so fingers crossed uranium city is on their list PFFFF

See, just because Steve lets Eddie and the kids play D&D at his house now doesn’t mean he’s really interested in the game, just the same as even though El and Max sometimes tag along, they’re really there to hang out, not play. They each bring their own things to do, and one night El brings a ball of yarn and a shiny little metal hook and a vaguely rectangular yarn-thing that she focuses very hard on while the boys shout in the background.

Steve has no idea what she’s doing; he’d say she’s knitting, except he’s almost certain that involves some kind of sticks, not a hook. But since he’s not really doing anything himself, he sits down next to her and asks what she’s up to.

“Joyce has been teaching me how to crochet. She says it will help with my hand-eye coordination.” El holds up her project with a proud smile. “I am starting with a scarf.”

It’s not the world’s most attractive scarf, but it’s not like Steve could do better. He’s still not entirely sure what crocheting is, to be perfectly honest. “Is that different from knitting?” he asks.

El nods gravely. “It is,” she says, and takes to showing him how she loops the yarn over the hook and pulls it through the stitches in her scarf and adds a few more inches to the row she’s working on.

When Steve’s attention doesn’t completely wane during her demonstration, she pulls a second ball of yarn out of her bag and presents it to Steve.

“Oh, I don't–” Steve tries to demur, but El is determined, and Steve has seen entire dimensions pale in the face of her determination.

This is how he finds himself crocheting a little chain of stitches with just his fingers, the same way Joyce had apparently started El off. El beams at him and returns to her own project, occasionally checking on his progress. The chain is a few feet long by the time everyone needs to be driven home, and Steve decides it actually hadn’t been a bad way to pass the time. Kind of relaxing.
