Pairing: Ellen Ripley x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Slight angst, fluff
Summary: Headcannons that include arguing with Ellen but then making up with one another
A/N: We need more Ripley content. And imma give it to you. Oh and I’ve seen my inbox 😏
Masterlist
We’ll Fight But We Make Up
It’s very rare that you and Ripley argue, sure you’ll disagree but you’ll work on it so you can both agree or be satisfied with the situation at hand
You’re both very open and certainly honest with one another; which is why you rarely argue
When you do argue it has to be serious because as said before you never argue
But you always always manage to make up, that’s what makes you such a strong couple
The argument started between the both of you like this:
Tensions were already rising in the ship on the way back home as Hicks and Hudson were arguing… again
As now Team Captain for what was left of the Marines after the attack and ambush on LV-426, you tried to maintain some routine for them, after all they still had the mindset of Marines
But Hicks and Hudson kept bickering and bickering to the point where it was affecting everyone, even Bishop found it hard to control his temper
You were sat at your desk in the ship furiously scribbling and typing as you had work due for Weyland Yutani about the Xenomorph and you were running late on it
Ripley and Newt walked hand in hand up to your desk, Newt carrying her new teddy bear Ripley gave her
Ellen slowly walked up to your chair, not wanting to frighten you. She gently placed her hands on your back that was hunched over the desk and dragged her fingers up to your tense shoulder blades and lightly squeezed them
“Honey, they’re fighting again”, Ripley said with a soft and and soothing voice. You took a deep breath and choose not to respond, you really didn’t want to hear anything about the two of them again, and Ripley knew you were tense about it. She spoke up again, “I was wondering if you could sort them, they refuse to listen to anybody these days”.
She was still rubbing your shoulders but quickly withdrew her hands and clasped them together when you stood up with clear anger and stomped off to see to the ‘men’. Ripley looked down at Newt and shrugged her shoulders to Newts questioning face. They both followed you.
In the crew living quarters/room they were almost in each others face and you walked up to them, towering over the both of them. They were arguing over nothing; about who got to take charge of the control rooms. “Will the both of you step away before you bite each others heads off and shut up!?”
Both men stopped their bickering after you raising your voice to a tone they hadn’t heard before. Hicks went to open his mouth to speak but you were too quick, “Shut up! I don’t wanna hear it! Do you Marines realise the stress you’ve put ok everybody? You’ve even got Bishop feeling like he’s walking around on eggshells!” You shouted at the top of your voice. Making them both turn to face you and put their heads down.
As you had finally finished your rant you were still angry and unfortunately your anger had made you snap at someone you wouldn’t ever want to.
Newt lightly tugged your arm and called your name, “What do you want!?” As soon as the words and tone left your voice you immediately regretted it. Newt looked at you, shocked, and ran off to jump into Ripley arms.
Ripley was standing in one of the doorways and picked up Newt before turning to you with disappointment, hurt, and upset written all over her face. She shook her head at you and walked off, with a trembling Newt in her arms.
You sighed and put your head down, spotting Newts teddy that she had dropped. You turned back to Hicks and Hudson who wouldn’t dare look at you or anyone else who saw the show. You walked to pick up Newts teddy and went to ran to find them both but not before saying, “If I hear one more word from either one of you you’ll go back into hyper sleep before you can say sorry”. They both replied, “Yes ma’am”.
It was getting close to bedtime anyway and you finally found Ripley tucking an upset Newt into bed. Ellen was brushing her head with her fingers and kissing her cheek whispering to the girl. You watched the interaction between the two people that you loved most before knocking lightly on the doorway.
A huge wave of guilt came over you when Newts teary little eyes locked with yours before turning back to Ripley. And Ripley simply acknowledged you with a look before turning back to Newt to kiss her, then standing up to walk towards you.
You were in big trouble. You were still holding Newts teddy but as Ripley began to walk towards you you walked backwards. As you, Ellen, Newt and even Jonesy lived in the same sleeping quarters. As you and Ellen were together you slept in the same bed and had a shared simply decorated bedroom.
Ripley only closed Newts door over a little and backed you up over to the couch in the room you called the living room, “Ellen I-”, “How could you?” She cut in, still talking with the softest voice, but you knew she was disappointed. “I’m sorry, it was a mistake, I was caught up in the moment of trying to sort the two of them” you tried, “That isn’t an excuse y/n and you know that”. You lowered your arms in defeat and tried to peak into Newts room, but your eyes quickly landed back on Ripley began again who was stood, dressing gown tied, hair slightly messy and arms crossed; “I understand you’ve been stressed, even anxious but you can’t take it out on our little girl, it isn’t fair”
You felt even more guilty. Ripley always said the good in you and took your side no matter what. She made you feel valid as she knew you were stressed but she pointed out how it was wrong to take it out on your little girl, your little family. “I know. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for snapping at Newt, I would never and will never do it again. And I’m sorry for disappointing you, and causing upset to my two favourite girls”
She gave you a half smile and let you know that she accepted her apology. You knew you were just off the hook with Ellen but you needed and wanted to see Newt. “Go and see her”. Your face almost lit up as Ripley granted you permission to apologise to Newt, but before you could get to her room Ripley grabbed your arm, “I know you didn’t mean it. And I know how much you love us. And if you love us so much you’ll come to me when you feel stressed or angry”. You nodded your head and wrapped an arm around her waist to give her lips a quick kiss to which she relished in and she held your arm as you did
As you approached the girls room you knocked on the door before pushing it open, “Newt?” You said looking at the girl who was rolled on her side and had her back to you. “Newt honey, I’m sorry. I never meant to shout at you and I never would. I have no excuse or rational reason for my behaviour. And I’m sorry”
Ripley smirked as she leaned against the doorway, knowing Newt would be playing games
You looked at her, arms still crossed and on her side. You heard her mumble a little ‘Okay’. But that wasn’t enough. You walked a little closer to her and gently tapped her shoulder, “I think you dropped something”. She definitely took her time in turning around to face you and when she saw you were holding her teddy her face lit up and she sat up to take it from you
You took her smiling moment as an opportunity to sit yourself next to her and grab her attention, “I’m sorry Newt. It won’t ever happen again”. She looked up at you smiling, “I know y/n/n”. You turned around to look at Ripley smiling at the both of you and you had an idea. You turned back to Newt, “Let me and Mommy go get ready for bed and how about I come back in and read you your favourite bedtime story?”. She shook her head eagerly at your suggestion before laying back down all snug with her teddy, “I’ll be right back Newt”, you kissed her forehead.
You followed Ripley into your shared room and as she started getting the bed ready for the both of you she said, “if it wasn’t for your heroic apology you’d be sleeping on the couch tonight”. After you’d changed into your sleepwear you walked round to the bed and helped your girlfriend into bed, handing her her book, a glass of water and anything else she needed. “I guess I’m just lucky” you said back. She put her hand around your neck and cupped your face bringing you down for a kiss before letting you go back to Newt. Before you left the room you turned round to her, “I’m sorry Ellen”.
She knew how guilty you felt but assured you it was all old news and was settled now. You didn’t actually believe her until she pulled the bedsheet covers down slightly, rubbing her thighs seductively, “Oh and hurry back, I’ll be waiting”
Kind of love this

Pairing: Ellen Ripley x Fem reader
Description: You and Ellen fight together against the alien queen
Tumblr media
Your heart pounds as you and Rebecca or more commonly known as Newt hide under the floor staring at the alien queen above you. The next thing you knew was the queen was chasing rebecca quickly managing to jump out of a loose space in the floor and grab the flamethrower across the room right when Ripley in the power loader suit "Get away from her you bitch" you quickly grab newt and hold her behind you with flamethrower in hand as ripley deals with the queen until you see the second mouth ready to pop out quickly throwing a random piece of metal at the queen pointing flamethrower at it "Not today you bitch" tourching some of it's face until the pod bay doors are open screaming as you watch ripley still inside the loader be grabbed and fall down with the queen as you hold newt tightly when the other door opens and begins to suck everything out of the ship screaming even more trying to hold onto to something until Bishop grabs you keeping you and newt from being sucked out of the ship as the doors are closed back. You hug ripley tightly feeling the adrenaline wear off as newt holds bishop's hand as the four of you head to the stasis chamber cleaning up after bagging up bishop "Ellen wait...I love you" she smiles as newt sits and watches the moment between the two of you, you and ellen had been friends a year before everything happened on the Nostromo with the first interaction with the Xenomorphs and slowly during the hell you both went through together it led to the two of you falling for each other and finally after another journey of hell the two of you poured them out leading to a sweet moment of caresses and hug followed by an emotional kiss laughing when newt makes a gag noise before giggling as the three of you share the last moments of being awake before going back to hyper sleep with ripley to your right holding her necklace you had gave her years earlier in your hand while newt was on you left peacefully asleep.

Ripley and Hicks’ Wholesome Little Family
Headcannon - Ellen Ripley x Dwayne Hicks - SFW
Tumblr media
AN: This is somewhat of an AU, essentially pausing the canon at the second film and not acknowledging the successive films. Just a personal preference... I’m a sucker for happy endings.
After the disastrous and traumatic mission to Hadley’s Hope, Ripley decides to return to Earth with her newly adopted daughter Newt and her cat Jonesy. (Let’s be honest, this poor woman has been through enough. She needs a permanent vacation.)
However, Hicks ends up leaving the Colonial Marines, getting himself honorably discharged a few months later.
He immediately goes to find Ripley, settled down on a peaceful, country farm, raising chickens and trying to heal from her own trauma while also supporting and helping Newt do the same.
It’s not immediately romantic, although the chemistry is definitely present. He mainly makes any excuse to hang around to help Ripley with whatever he can. They build a healthy friendship and Newt begins to see him as a father figure.
Hicks begins a habit of sleeping downstairs on the couch many nights so that Ripley doesn’t have to suffer alone when she has night terrors.
After several months of this, he’s like one of the family and the mutual romantic feelings between them are undeniable.
One night while helping Ripley wash the dishes after dinner, Hicks pauses and catches her off guard: “Ellen, I love this, here with you. Honestly, I want this for the rest of my life. I want you. Would you ever consider... maybe... marrying me?” To his surprise, her immediate answer is yes.
They go on to have the happy life of peace and healing that they both deserve and need. Their days are primarily raising chickens, gardening, spending quiet nights on their back porch in rocking chairs, and watching Newt grow into a happy, healthy girl.
Newt is so excited every time Bishop comes to visit in-between missions. Newt always asks him to do the knife trick, gleefully volunteering her own hand (you know she would, that kid is fearless). Ripley immediately is like NO. So Hicks volunteers his instead.
Ripley often double-checks on Newt after bedtime (always worrying and wanting to make sure she’s safe) only to see her dead asleep with Jonesy curled up at her feet.
Ripley and Hicks find a good therapist who specializes in PTSD that help them process their trauma and heal.
Ripley loves having lavender in her garden. Hicks pretends he’s not allergic to it, which he is because he loves anything that makes Ripley happy.
Jonesy often strolls through their garden, destroying all the catnip plants by rolling around in them and living his best life. They plant them every year anyway.
Ripley and Hicks fight occasionally but otherwise have great communication and a healthy relationship. If they do have an argument they make sure to do so out of earshot of Newt.
After being retired by Weyland-Yutani, Bishop comes to live with them and discovers a deep fascination with and love for gardening; often studying clippings and trying to splice together hybrids. (Omg, imagine Bishop in one of those straw gardening hats, with his smart gardening gloves and a belt for gardening tools.)
Hicks and Ripley are incredibly supportive of anything that Newt wants to do. Hicks loves being the troop mom for her girl scouts and encourages her to become an Eagle scout even though people keep telling her that that’s ‘only for boys’.
Ripley takes up sewing initially just to sew on Newt’s girl scout badges but ends up really liking it and finding she’s good at it.
Ripley makes her first dress and models it for Hicks as a surprise. Even though the seams are crooked and the pattern is hideous, he commends her craftsmanship, focusing on all the things she did well and insisting, “Really honey, you are what makes the dress beautiful.”

wait except ben/bailey and montgomery/michael. The other other two marriages were paper weddings. Weddings done for another reason besides just love. And vickley was almost a third. Thats not to say the couples arent in love but they have an motivating reason to get married behind it. That makes me kind of sad.

Pairing: Ellen Ripley x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Fluff
Summary: When you're sick, she's always there to comfort you
I'll Take Care Of You
It was dinner time in the Sulaco. You, Ripley, a repaired and new model of Bishop, Newt and Gorman were sat at the same table after picking your food up from the makeshift canteen. Some of the Marines were still in medical, still healing from being in the heart of the Xenomorphs nest on LV-426.
Vasquez, Hudson, Drake and Ferro were all finishing up their meals while playing with a deck of cards. Frost had just come back from taking food to the Marines that were conscious in MedBay. Newt was sat close and huddled up to Ripley while eating her meal in small bites. Ripley was finishing off the rest of her meal and was engaged in conversation with Bishop, listening to him talking about a new line of 'Artificial Persons' that were due to come out. Gorman, sat with a bandage still around his head, sat quietly in front to you, meal finished and drink gone. You were sat in front of Ripley, Newt, and Gorman beside you was Bishop who occasionally turned his head, making sure to include you in the conversation.
However, you were sat with your head down, staring at your food, humming now and then when Bishop said something interesting. You were really playing with your food rather than eating it. You rested your head on your balled up fist and started to daydream, only being interrupted when Hudson or Vasquez yelled for winning or accusing each other of cheating at cards. You really weren't feeling well. Your head was burning up, the thumping headache made it difficult for you to concentrate, and your aching and cold bones were begging you to go to sleep anywhere; the table, the chair, even the floor.
Ripley noticed you weren't yourself. Even Newt noticed it when she sat down opposite you. Ripley saw you pushing your food around, letting it go cold. Of course, she was still listening to Bishop but by the time she saw you sneezing she knew you were coming down with something. You sneezed a few more times causing the marines to place bets on how many more times you'd sneeze. Newt jumped off of Ripley's lap and ran round the table to hand you her own napkin, she even lifted her arm up and wiped your nose for you. You gave a small laugh and bent down slightly whilst sitting down to kiss her cheek, thanking her; "Here you go, Y/N I'll do it", "Thank you honey".
Ripley felt her heart skip when she watched the sweet interaction between the love of her life and the little girl who now calls her 'Mommy'. When Newt reached Ripleys side again, she kept a close eye on you. But her watching was cut short when you excused yourself, interrupting Bishops story, "Hey, sorry but I'm gonna get ready for bed. Been a long day", you only looked at Ripley and Newt when you spoke, wanting Ripley to catch on to your apparent illness. Gorman and Bishop said their polite goodnights to you and you walked over to Ripley, bending down to kiss her cheek, "Don't be long down here, it's getting late", "Alright honey", she replied, indulging in your kiss, even if it did last for one second. Newt tugged on your shirt, not wanting you to forget about her so you bent down to kiss her forehead and said, "I'll see you before bed". "Affirmative", she replied. As you walked out of the canteen area the Marines all gave you a hearty goodnight, even getting up to do handshakes with them all that you came up with.
If you were told it took you hours just to change from your uniform into your sleepwear, you'd believe it. You slowly placed yourself onto yours and Ripleys shared bed and crawled to get under the covers. You left a dim light on and the door to the bedroom open slightly. With a blocked nose, blocked ears and a banging head, it wasn't long before you heard Newts giggles from outside your mini apartment of the ship. Newt had the small spare bedroom in yours and Ripleys apartment. Earlier when you arrived in the apartment you fed Jonesy who was now curled up on the pillow beside you. Ripleys gentle hushes to Newt could be heard right outside the door. All of a sudden you felt gentle pokes on your cheek and it was the small blonde haired girl wishing you a sweet goodnight and a kiss from her new teddy-bear Ripley found her. When you smiled sleepily at the girl you heard Ripleys quiet laugh as she ushered Newt into her own room to get her ready for bed.
You felt sorry for yourself, lying curled up in a ball, sniffing every 10 seconds, breathing with your mouth open, making your dry and sore throat worse. All you wanted was Ellen next to you. Your wishes were heard when you felt familiar fingers brushing away a few sweaty hairs that covered your face, "Y/n, sit up for me and take these, they'll help you". She spoke in a tone gentle enough to soothe your headache. Doing as you were ordered you tool the tablets she offered you with a long sip of water from a straw. She let you rest your head back down to the pillow before rushing herself to get changed and get to her lover.
She stood at the bathroom door watching as you wriggled a little, she knew you were waiting for her. She quietly walked over to you, now in her sleepwear. "Poor baby", she spoke crawling on to the bed and rubbing a soft hand over your back soothing any aches. She settled down next to you and it didn't take you long before you turned yourself over and let her welcoming arms embrace you. Your head was resting on her chest, one of your arms tucked into yourself and the other laying on her hip. Her strong arms were wrapped around your back, and she had a hand in your hair, stroking it, no matter how damp it was. As she stroked your hair her other hand ran up and down your back and her lips landed on your forehead. You sighed deeply, finally getting to sleep in her arms but before you slept you told her, "I really don't deserve you", she quickly but softly replied, "You deserve the world, and I love you. Very very much". Tucked into her you muffled a response, "I love you more, and thank you, I feel a little better already". You felt her lips that rested on your forehead curl into a smile as you told her you loved her. She told you, "You'll feel worse in the morning. Now sleep, I'll be right here when you wake up. I'll take care of you.
Indeed the next morning, you woke up feeling 10 times as worse. But as always, she kept her promise, She was there. Every second, every minute, every hour and day she was there. As soon as you recovered it was your turn to look after both girls after them catching your cold and getting sick. It didn't matter, because you loved them.

Ripley/Hicks Spring Edition
One peaceful spring morning, Ripley opens her eyes to sunlight filtering into the bedroom through the curtains, and as she slowly starts to wake up, Hicks also wakes up. It’s quiet enough that they can practically hear each other’s heartbeats. They’re lying close together, skin against skin, legs tangled together, and they wake up slowly and smiling, and feeling completely at peace.
Ripley and Hicks go out on a romantic walk in a nearby woods to appreciate the sight of the flowers when they come across a flower meadow. They end up taking a detour into the meadow to just enjoy the flowers and talk, and it quickly becomes a favourite place for the both of them.
Hicks tries to surprise Ripley with fresh flowers every now and then, and sometimes, Ripley has the same idea. So on some days, they end up giving each other small bouquets of flowers.
Newt learns how to ride her own bike, courtesy of both Ripley and Hicks, since she never had one in Hadley’s Hope. Hicks also takes her out so she can buy a new bike for herself, and Bishop even teaches her how to repair her bike if she breaks it. Soon, biking together with either Ripley or Hicks becomes one of Newt’s favourite spring activities.
On Mother’s Day, Hicks and Newt make breakfast for Ripley together; Hicks also helps Newt in making a homemade card for her, and later on, they all go on a family bike ride; of course, Ripley really loves it and appreciates their efforts.
During a rainy day, when Newt comes home from school early, she and Bishop like to do arts and crafts together; they both do some painting together, make some crafts stuff, and then they clean everything up together before Ripley and Hicks come home from work.
Sometimes, Ripley likes to do gardening as a way of coping with her trauma and guilt. Her interest starts when she buys lilac and rock rose seeds, and then she plants and cares for them, with Hicks and Newt’s help, until they bloom into beautiful flowers. And Ripley feels a sense of pride over her new blossoms.
Speaking of blossoms, on a date night, Hicks takes Ripley to look at cherry blossoms in the park; a few years ago, when his previous squad was still alive, he’d been stationed in Japan; there, he’d attended a hanami celebration in Tokyo and really grew to appreciate the beauty of cherry blossoms, so he wants to show them to Ripley. Of course, Ripley also really loves the sight, and when Hicks explains the meaning behind the cherry blossoms, she also gains a new appreciation for them.
On Father’s Day, Ripley and Newt make breakfast for Hicks together; again, they also make a homemade card for him together, and then later on, they all go to a shooting range as a family. The three of them also make a card for Bishop, since he’s basically a part of the family now and deserves to be appreciated; Bishop is so touched by the gesture, especially how they consider him part of the family.
(Summer, Fall, Winter)
