Still waiting on a Aya-Piper crossover. Especially after FS.
This pic did give me a fic idea where Aoba winds-up in the Commonwealth some how, meets up with Piper, and winds-up joining her paper. It then follows the adventures of the two crossing the wasteland: mostly consists of them stumbling across trouble, Aoba blasting the shit out of it because kanmusuhaxpleasenerf, and then the two investigate the remains for a story. Sometimes Piper gets angry when Aoba gets a little too gun happy and accidentally destroys juicy clues. Also, stylistic clash between Piper (who is a more classic intrepid reporter, with a thirst for the truth) and Aoba (whose more of a gossip columnist and hence likes to play more loosely with the truth), with both of them being subsequently influenced towards a middle ground. Occasionally Nick gets dragged into their shenanigans. He likes to make cracks to Aoba about how happy he is to have another person with tons of metal on them around. Piper/Aoba romance optional. Don't ask me what happened to the Sole Survivor 'cause I haven't put that much thought into this (Institute decides to off Nick/Nora with the rest of Vault 111, maybe?).
Some highlights include:
-Aoba getting mad at Takahashi for his terrible Japanese. -Piper or her sister getting kidnapped by vengeful raiders/gunners/BoS members/Institute Synths/supermutants/I-don't-know-think-of-somethings and Aoba (and Piper, if it's her sister) having to go rescue her. -The giant collective headache among the BoS as they try to reconcile something like Aoba with their codex. -The Institute repeatedly trying to get their hands on Aoba. -A lot of shit getting blown up by Aoba, when she doesn't just decide to play Terminator that is. Piper (and Nick) is mega appreciative for having a Heavy Cruiser on her side. Unless she accidentally blasts the evidence away. -Cuteness between Nat and some of Aoba's fairies. Possibly cuteness between some of Aoba's fairies and Piper? -Aoba deciding that Piper's newspaper needs to look more like a professional pre-war newspaper and acquires the relevant printing stuff as a surprise birthday/christmas/new years/valentines/I-don't-know gift? -Yangtze's spirit having a conversation with Aoba, maybe?

Well, I subscribe to the "quantum shipgirl" theory, where the answer to the "are they more human or machine" question is "yes". For example: it looks like blood, it tastes like blood, it smells like blood, but you put it under a microscope and there's a 50/50 chance it'll either be blood cells or fuel oil... each time you do so.
