#a ghoul and his girl

Dang it, I love this ship and I love the enemies to lovers trope. I get that a lot of people see them as a surrogate father and daughter relationship, but it feels like a been there/done that kinda thing.
As much as I love that trope, I'm also a little tired of it. There's only so much Last of Us style found family I take after seeing it for so many years.
The thing I love about VaultGhoul or Ghoulcy is the idea of Lucy breaking down of Cooper's walls while he helps build hers up.
Is he incredibly cruel to her and those around him in the first season? Yes, extremely
Does he need to chill out and find some of his humanity that's been buried under 200+ years of wasteland survival and bitterness? Yes
Who can bring that needed direction to his life while learning the ways of the new world she finds herself in? Lucy MacLean
I know that the canon ship of the show at this moment is Lucy and Maximus, and as much as I love him, I find the pairing obvious and kind of boring from a story telling perspective. I loved it on my first viewing, but upon re-watching the series, I wasn't as behind it as before. I see their relationship, kiss and all, as a kind of first fling for the both of them.
While it doesn't diminish the care they show one another, there's not a lot behind them as a couple. Now I know that some people might turn around to say how she and Cooper spent less time together than her and Max, but I guess the thing I look forward to is seeing what their relationship brings with the second season.
I feel like Max and Lucy will have a great friendship and I'm interested to see where the Brotherhood fits into their dynamic as well.
With Cooper though, I find his story so tragic, as it's supposed to be. He's your standard hardened survivor who only looks out for himself that's now stuck with the happy-go-lucky main character, however, she's not that character anymore by the end. She's still going to be the Lucy we love, but she's changed by the end. While not losing her compassion and some optimism, I think Cooper is going to bring out a harsher side to her as we saw when she bit off his finger.
I want to see her building up her walls and learning when to let them down. How to truly survive while still bringing her own energy to the wasteland and people around her. I want to see Cooper regaining some lost humanity while learning to truly care for another person again. To see the two of them as eventual equals in one another's eyes as they continue on their journey as reluctant allies.
I also want to say that I'm personally kind of tired of the 'age gap' argument. We have stories of teenagers falling in love with hundred year old vampires. So can we just drop the age gap thing?
As long as they're both consenting adults who understand what they're getting themselves into, who cares about an age gap.
Does it truly matter in the scheme of things when we're talking about a world with cryo-stasis and super mutants?
I personally don't think so.
I don't know if anyone will even bother reading this entire thing, and I know I went on a little long, but I wanted to write down my thoughts on the whole shipping situation with the Fallout TV show fandom at this moment.
I'm a VaultGhoul shipper and I can't wait to see where the second season takes our main trio of characters.

IDK if anyone is in this boat with me but I don’t really… care… about The Ghoul? I think I am just really bored with “ooooh edgy male character with a persona is Secretly So Sad :0((( he’s sooo sad and that makes him sooo mean” characters. I am MUCH more interested in the nuance of Maximus and Lucy and how they are basically inverted, innocent-cynical versions of one another.
Also I hate the idea of Lucy and The Ghoul getting shipped together that’s literally her foil and the character through which she speedruns understanding the cruelty of the wasteland (also he’s sooo much older than her and soooo mean to her so IDK why people are so insistent they fit together)
So anyways

Fea!Leibling was just delicious. You gotta love feral Girlfriends and women who can and will kill you. You mentioned that you have thoughts on Seer!König can you share them please parental figure?
I would LOVE to share them anon thank you!
So in the Reverse Fae!AU I think all the boys are military, we're looking at a canon adjacent au similar to the demon au, but the fae darlings would be trying to pull their man outta the military(and into their loving arms) instead of really wanting to help them fight. I just know this is gonna get away from me so I'm popping a read more on here.
In this context I see Seers as absolutely invaluable military assets. As I've said previously in the world of this au most people don't know about monsters, they have different habits that are indicative of them but that doesn't mean people believe it. Think of saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, I don't really believe the devil enters people's bodies when they sneeze but I say it anyone to be polite. The military though, they absolutely know about monsters. The fae and all their supernatural cousins would be nicely positioned as both threats and assets, which means having someone in the room that can easily identify them is HUGE.
So Seer!König is the military's favorite special boy. It's important for seers to be the biggest threat in a room because you never know if a creature is going to be friendly to them or not. (Which is also why Fae!König is so protective of Liebling, she's not the biggest threat so he has to be) König would've grown up ostracized for his sight, but in the military he's heavily rewarded for it. It's his most powerful weapon in combat, and he would be neatly positioned in knowing the best ways to kill any monster he came across. A military seer is basically a monster hunter, and truly I cannot think of anything more terrifying for an unfriendly fae than coming face to face with König who stares right through them and tells his men "Iron on this one, then salt the wounds." I would piss myself.
I imagine König is very used to being given a wide berth by the various creatures of the world, all of them scared of what he can see and what he might know, so it's rather novel for him to wake up and have thorns stuck in his skin. Looking in the bathroom mirror as he cleans the little puncture wounds with a cotton ball and prodding at the scratches down his chest with careful fingers. The absolute awe that lodges behind his ribs, that something A. got into his house unnoticed(he likely has some military grade wards up, aside from normal security), and B. clawed him up without hurting him enough to wake him up. Whatever was in bed with him definitely wasn't trying to kill him(great) but also what the hell???
This is where also I think König is a closet masochist. I cannot explain this, he's so dominant in my head but the two aren't mutually exclusive. It's one of those things where, I think König likes pain so much, that he sort of assumes everyone else does too? He gets written off as a sadist by his submissives, but no he just is a masochist with military socialization. So waking up with new obviously affectionate wounds? Oh boy, he is riding that high all day. His skin is throbbing from his mystery creature's nails, he's got bandages on his arms. He wakes up with a good hard bite on his collar, the bruise laced with red and purple, and he is THRILLED. He wants more, he wants harder, he wants to know who the fuck is biting him so he can bite them back.
The thorns are a dead giveaway that whatever it is has to be floral, which points to fae in these parts. He has a nice garden out back, a little overgrown since he's likely a recent move to the city and to the UK specifically, so he figures he'll poke around and see what's back there. This has been going on for weeks and his fae is just getting more needy, he's waking up with his palms tingling, the scratches are getting deeper, the bruises darker. Thorns are waiting on his pillow and between his sheets, he's starting to get a little frustrated that he hasn't seen this mystery fae yet. He half hopes that if he spends time out in the garden maybe they'll come out and say hello, but even when he clears away the dead plants he can't find the thorns.
König enjoys working in the garden though, he likes seeing everything get cleaned up, likes a tidy space. It isn't until he gets through most of the garden that he actually notices the thorns that have overtaken the back wall. Thick and overgrown, out of season but with little white-ish flowers still dotting the dark green leaves, and he can see the soft inquisitive eyes that stare at him from between the gnarled thorns. He's half in love already, but actually seeing his faerie watching him is the nail in the coffin. Then when she Bites him? Draws blood, makes him worry for a second she might tear his throat out? GOD he's going to marry this fae.
He tests the thorns with his finger, recognizes their bite, and that's it. When he reaches in and feels Liebling take his hand, that's all he needs. He was going to pull her out anyway, but it's nice of her to come willingly.
(I wish I could do another read more here where I talk about how I don't think flora fae like fae!Liebling, the ones that live in their little plants and don't interact with people, wear clothes. They don't see people, and people generally don't see them so they don't see the need for them. Maybe some strategic petals or long hair but fabric just gets caught on the thorns. So Seer!König pulls this fully naked and gorgeous specimen from the thorns, and then she bites him real fuckin' hard and he can't not fuck her. I mean she's hitting all the right buttons.)
Anyway, Seer!König military asset and closet masochist shows up on base with a fae!Liebling hanging onto his back and can't really explain it to the higher ups but also who's going to tell him no? He's the colonel and they need him more than he needs them. Except again fae!Liebling has no interest in fighting, just in König. So I imagine he doesn't get a choice in renewing his contract, she forces him to retire(which is fine he was getting no work done with her around)
