Hey if you're reading this, and you actually still check this fanfiction thingy it's me nath. You probs cant remember me but years ago I messaged you on Facebook I think. Maybe when you first finished chapter 2? Well your cross fire popped into my head and I've been thinking about it for months, searching for it for ages and I've finally found it. Just want to say I hope you're doing im still a fan of your writing. I remember you saying something about that song 'crossfire' by suicide sheep? Anyway you probably dont even check this anymore but yeah.

I am sad this is last chapter wrote by you. I really like your characters are realistic and battle scenes too. I have been reading this every day. Happy to read another chapter. I know you wrote it years ago, but I finished Fallout 4 few months ago. I really like your work and I am glad I found this fanfic. Good work, soldier!

Oh my good, reading this was like eating the biggest slice of my mom's pecan pie with a huge topping of vanilla ice cream.

I'm at the edge of my seat and can't wait to read how this convo goes down.

Suddenly the baby cry from the Deathclaw sounds sooooo much more sinister now that Dawn can’t have children because of that incident. Jesus that just broke my friggin heart the poor girl she’ll be devastated when she wakes.

I’m proud MacCready is going to come clean about what’s going on with the Gunners & the potential blackmailing deal with his son. I just hope Danse can help, although considering this is Brotherhood of steel we’re talking about, this’ll hopefully be good for them to find a way to take them out finally. Or MacCready is about to have his butt thrown in jail and used as another pawn to some other big force. I can only hope he’s proved his worth and what a good waffle he is T.T

And good Dawn got her rings back, but I worry for her and all the mental trauma she’s gone through. Losing her husband,winding up in the post-apocalypse future, son grown into Mr Underground Cyberlife CEO, she’s had to step up and be strong through all this. I hope she’ll do the right thing rather than go along with any moral obligations as a mother. Press X to Shaun out from control honey!

Also props to MacCready for being a badass sniper on that vertibird despite being airsick. I really like we see the style of ‘combat’ with a sniper and how they tackle situations, rather than a typical fighter trained with solely their fists. He’s a bit of a John Wick with that sniper XD

Enjoyed this chapter very much and nervous if the outcome for that conversation. I’m going to have to read through this story from the start again it’s been a while. Ooo and find Dolly I Will Always Love You gave me shippy feels. Take caaaare!

I'm sorry it took so long to read this gem of a chapter. Life has been difficult to say the least.

Firstly, DAWN NOOOO.
And secondly DEATHCLAW NOOOO

Jesus that thing was creepy being able to blend in with its environment. It really took me back till the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Friggin scary creature trying to kill them T.T you wrote that really good!

Also I really enjoyed your portrayal of Virgil [and his robot lol poor thing falling over] I couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy given his circumstances. Btw that Radaway stuff was awesome and super cute with the banter over the needle [Jesus you two just kiss already! 'then look at me' MY HEART T.T] I love that despite how shakey things have been there's still that warmth there. Their cutest melts me.

Yesh remember this Dawn! MacCready saved your booty! You would be dead if he didn't go out of his way to piss off some Brotherhood goons. Now Mac's just gotta get those rings back to her and himself. Hang in there Dawn T.T

I definitely enjoyed reading this one and so wish I had gotten to reading this sooner. You did awesome waffle! XD

Found this fic last night, and tead the read the whole thing in one go. Really, really like your macready. Hope whatever's going on in your personal life works out, we're all rooting for you. Cheers!

I had some literal tears in my eyes with this one! The little things you've woven, like the rings, are genius! and the slow burn and the tension has got me hooked! I love how realistic you've mad Dawn's response to the Institute. I did a lot of shouting and shooting after I went there too. looking forward to what happens next!

The ending to this chapter was FANTASTIC! I love it when authors draw attention to what should be a fear of feral when he comes across them. Excellent work!

this chapter was AWESOME! I love how you have woven these characters together!

I’m sorry it took so long to read this waffle! T.T

God throughout the whole thing I wanting Dawn just to come clean and tell MacCready what in the muffins went on at the Institute. Heck I wanted to hug her when she was clearly upset, and then slap her with a fish for turning to drink T.T nu baby girl you gotta be open talk talk talk…..then again wait, MacCready hasn’t exactly been honest himself. Shit they’ve both got some serious secrets now! Nuuuuu, it’s killing me all this tension between them, things were going so well. Curse you Shaun this is all your fault! Being a twisted bearded old son. Also love Dawn shot down one of the birds. I was playing Fallout 4 on survivor mode recently and it kept getting to me how I kept seeing the crows everywhere just spying on me.

I absolutely love that you gave the baby infant to Jun and Marcy. By god they deserve a second chance [and without the cons of painful child labor, yay for Marcy and yay for Jun escaping a broken hand from her death grip.] I’m so proud of MacCready thinking of them like that being his a daddy too. At least we know with them the baby will have a better shot of an upbringing and won’t grow up a raider. And I’m so so SO happy Duncan is cured and that it managed to bring a smile to Dawn [dammit this is the sort of news we needed in the game.] still worried as hell though on the Gunners harming them though.

Itching to see what happens with Vergil. I winded up helping him in game but he wasn’t too happy with me destroying the Institute XD whoops. Hope Dawn and MacCready stay well protected in the glowing sea, and don’t end up munched by da monsters. Why do I feel it isn't going to be easy? I can't even trek along that place without trouble. beware sweet cinnamon bun rolls, bewaaare T.T

Ahh! Omg I LOOVE the idea of the Lone Wanderer watching Duncan! I never thought about it before, and I absolutely love it. I seriously got so excited when I saw Butch's name haha Another amazing chapter! Keep up the good work :)

Pleaseee continue with this! This is brilliant, beautiful, enjoyable slow burn between these two. I love it.

Where do I begin. I have been binge reading this for two days and omg you have me on the edge! You write so wonderfully well, I’m totally immersed in your story. It keeps me longing for more. It’s very apparent how much time and dedication goes into your work and I adore it. Thank you so much for writing this. Xoxo

Ah you, stop scaring me by making me think Dawn knows why MacCready is sticking around! T.T such a tease. The poor waffle though she’s an emotional wreck right now it makes me so sad. Worst is she’s not saying ANYTHING about what happened. And then she goes batshit crazy when Preston gets shot and takes everything out on those raiders. Dawn hon you gotta talk you can’t keep it in [sobs] and there was a BABY stuck in all of this. I can imagine raiders having kids since I doubt protection is a thing in that world now, but I couldn’t imagine many raiders being good parents. They may have wiped them out, but maybe that baby might stand a chance of being raised better and living to adulthood.

But the bullet or Preston was definite karma. Telling Dawn another settlement needs her help…you never ask a girl that Preston, or anyone for that matter. Only increasing the prescription of MacCready embraces will do give her any improvements, I’m so worried. Still it was cool to see the three working together in such a cool written sequences.

God Dawn, what did yo son say to you. What the waffle happened?

Daisy: Listen MacCready, everything is going to be fine. Don't worry your head about it.

MacCready: I wish things were. Dammit it I...[looks towards lone drifter leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.]

Deacon: [sweating profusely, before he ducks to evade a bullet.]

MacCready: WHY DO I KEEP SEEING YOUR MUG EVERYWHERE!? GET OUTTA HERE!

You can't hide Deacon! I know you're watching the waffle!

Shit shit shit. This chapter really got to me. Because as soon as MacCready was heading for the Gunners Outhide, and then throwing the caps down, I just knew 'dude that isn't going to wooork!' and Barnes's has visited Duncan that freaks me out. I wish there was some way to contact the wanderer looking after the boy to warn them, but the Gunners would probably read it. Dammit MacCready if only you taught your boy some secret code or could fly over there in a big balloon I wah! T.T I'm so worried for them, he tried to do the right thing and call the deal off, but Winlock is a bigass troll and mocking the MacCready/Dawn ship! How dare he! Oh I just can't wait for karma to hit that asshole. Soooo much karma.

Grrrr I can't believe you left it on a cliffhanger like that. Our baby Dawn is baaaack! [Wait was that thunder sound her returning? through the teleporting stuff? O.O] For some reason I just imagined the mysterious stranger sound occurring, but I love it. Like she just reappeared like some ghost. I'm guessing Dawn's been having a crisis of her own too, I only dread what comes out of this. Dawn honey do you need a hug? MacCready's in h-huggible or punchable range, whatever emotions you're feeling sista T.T hang in there both of you!
