actual evil vampire nate. 200 years asleep and you were the dumbass who woke him up. ya bit.*

*i really love the idea that the person getting bit can also get off from it lmfao sometimes I question myself.

overboss nate. tbh actual canon nate (by me at least) would be shooting up all the raiders and freeing the slaves. but au nate ... au nate with no nora and only war ... au nate fucks.*

*everyone.

dc / marv verse with a similar origin to cap*&*bucky. frozen, but for 200 years, so he's a little cranky, with ice powers. his eyes would be straight up icy blue. and maybe he's pissed he was left behind. or maybe he died protecting families. or maybe he doesn't mind getting his hands a little dirty to stop an innocent's pain.*

*he and the punish/er would be besties.

forgot to add nate rebuilding sanctuary and needing help (he's very good at being a handyman, okay. let him fix your furniture!) and someone waking nate out of cryo and he's lost some memories but still has panic attacks bc everything is wrong and he doesn't know why. (i kinda have a verse already like this w/ my nora so this would be w/ either her being nerfed ((rip)) or never existing.)

goin to bed bc it's almost 1am but.

bombs dropped on oct 23, 2077

let's just round our numbers and say shaun was 3 months old. -> puts him born july 23rd. -> conceived 40 weeks prior.* sept 23rd, 2067 -> nate was on a short trip home from sept 13th - 28th (2067) then returned to front lines. -> nate was discharged maybe just before birth, so rounding**, that means when the war ends and the bombs are dropped, nate has only been home around 3 months.***

don't you think that for the world, two hundred+ years have passed, but nate feels like he was just at war yesterday. he still twitches at unexpected gunfire, explosions. he still dreams about nights spent in foxholes. he still expects the phone to ring with orders and the feeling of anchorage weather and alaska stars at twilight. the world got to move on, but not him. so not only is he the sole survivor of vault 111, other than a handful of ghouls? he's one of the only survivors of the war STILL ALIVE. and if ghouls are considered dead, then it's just nate.

just nate and army bunkers full of bones.

*that is a 10 month period. everyone says women are pregnant 9 months but a full term pregnancy does last 10 months from date of conception to birth, it's just a thing. **i'm pulling this timeframe out of my asshole. ***"I don't think you two were ever happier than those last few months you spent together with young Shaun." - canon quote from your robot butler, codsworth

suicide tw:

codsworth says this to the player: "Sir/Mum, no matter what may befall us, I hope suicide is never an answer you seek." - nate tells codsworth that he's leaving shaun with xyz and for the robot to stay with shaun. cods asking nate where he's going and he just says "home to nora" and this is when codsworth says this. nate just gives him a little pat.

" can i ask you questions? " there are many things the world is lacking now, but music still remains. a great ᴄʀᴇꜱᴄᴇɴᴅᴏ then followed by scattered arpeggios brought the audience to their knees in both grief and unanswered prayer. minor chords now play their ballads as robotic bartenders pass out tainted drink. nate has stumbled out of the bar and into the night. goodneighbor holds no answers and its music, while smooth, no comfort. a graveyard holds a few ferals he dispatches with an empty, and now broken, liquor bottle.

their snarls are only made of discordant notes. rian appears, and the noise in his head finds its rightful key. " just some questions about death. you know, light stuff. " @ischaron

grabs him by the throat. 💜

an hour passes and nate is restless. every step is a heavy stomp, arms crossed angrily over his chest. the next turn stops him. a metal hand grips his throat and he drops to his knees on silent command. instantaneous, even if his head does not clear. it hurts - how many problems he's trying to silently confront - but at least the other knows how to clear it.

" dog, cat, those stayed the same! why not cow? just because it grew a second head... still a cow... a brahmin used to be a religious thing. " he thinks. don't quote him on that, piper.

"Look brother, ya lil' tidbits of information are often eye-opening. But not only are ya hundred or so years late to the debate...ya already lost this battle."

❛ your heart is beatin’ so fast righ’ now. ❜

" does it match yours? " they tell you history is written by the victorious. they don't tell you about the devastation those victors leave behind. nate surveys the damage. he sees the bodies they've left behind. the touch of death is against his chest; a palm presses over his heart and studies the rhythm. nate's head dips low, a hand moving to lift the edges of the cowboy hat. " got a lot of work to do here. " he grunts, dropping his hand to rian's shoulder. " but i think we take a break first. "
