About this image

After getting clean in Vault 95 and gathering her thoughts, Cait confided to Maria about her past, she didn't spare any details. Cait broke down crying as she was pouring her heart out. Maria held the sobbing Little Bird in embrace while contemplating on how she would protect the new surprisingly frail Cait from now on. "Cait has faced more than a three lifetimes worth of hardship already, more than anyone ever should, she doesn't need any more of that"; Maria thought to herself. They embraced for a long while, long after Cait's tears had dried. After they stopped, Cait thanked Maria and the pair started traveling again. While on the road Maria told about her past to Cait whom felt sorrow for her companion, but also delight in that Maria had finally opened up to her.

Even though Cait wouldn't ever admit it if asked, she felt safe for the first time in a forever while being comforted by Maria. Both of them knew that this was the beginning of something far greater than just a beautiful friendship. They were perfect for each other, both had a fucked up past and both were a bit messed up. Neither of them had really swung that way in the past, but both felt this was the right path for them. The pair kept walking the Commonwealth along with the Minutemen, pacifying the region and cleaning up the place. As the wasteland was healing, so was the couple, until they eventually settled down to the outskirts of resettled Concord in 2320's and hanged a Deathclaw's head on their wall...


Notes:
If you want to hear more of these two I have a pretty much a finished Story Time for this, above is a short form cheese fest what I was originally supposed to write but as usual I got carried away and then suddenly I have (almost) an essay worth of material to edit. Cait is awesome, my screenshot skill aren't.

    Cait actually has a great story and emotional side to her mouthy persona. I'd like to hear the story of your adventure and see more screens.....and this one is good.

      Cait is adorable, she has easily the best personal arch in the game, sure canonically she doesn't 'like' helping settlers etc. but I'd like to imagine she mellows down considerably after getting clean, traveling and romance. Though with her backstory she could also possibly stay hardened to everyone else, but have a sweet and gooey inside when alone with Sole Survivor.

      Longer story is coming based on response so far, cannot say when exactly at the time so all I can say is that watch the images feed and it'll (hopefully) be there some day. Currently the story is shite fan-fiction level terrible (which to be brutally honest is exactly what the whole thing will be, a piece of shite fan-fiction). As for more screens to enhance the narrative, we'll see what happens, I'm absolutely terrible at creating a flowing narrative with screenshots, but I do have some ideas for scenes.

    Excellent positioning for the shot. Good excerpt of their story.

      One of three usable/passable (out of total 40+) shots. I kinda felt like a voyeur when taking these, felt Cait's gaze on me, telling me to piss the eff off.
