Hi! Can I have the non-human companions' reaction to a male sole that is very protective of them? Like if they're at a bar and someone shouts "get out of here freak/bucket of bolts/etc" he's beating the crap out of them immediately and when he's done he just goes back to the said companion and is all caring like "are you ok? Do you need anything?" Djdjfnfnejjr p l e a s e I've had this idea for so long

Non-human companions will always have a special place in my heart (especially Hancock because characters from Goodneighbor will always be superior to me), so this ask is really fun! Besides, I'm pretty sure every Hancock or Valentine fan has sided against the Brotherhood just for this reason. Also I have a feeling I could be missing someone, since I almost forgot Codsworth and Strong, so please let me know if I am, I can just add them on lmao

Non-Human Companions React to M!Sole Being Protective (Includes: Curie, Codsworth, Hancock, Nick, Strong and X6-88)

Curie She insists that Sole didn't have to go to all that trouble for her, she understands that some people are bound to dislike her simply based on her appearance and although that can be disheartening, she's come to accept it. She's a little shocked by how Sole reacts, he's never been particularly violent if he can help it, but it's more how quickly his mood changes afterwards when he goes to check on her that catches her more off guard than anything. She can't help but feel touched by the gesture though, it's nice to know that there's someone willing to look out for her.

Codsworth The Commonwealth is a lot different than it was 210 years ago, Codsworth still remembers the days when people would clamour at the opportunity to have their very own Mr. Handy. Now, all he seems to be is target practice or scrap metal to the inhabitants of the wasteland. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean he's immune to how some people tend to treat him. While Sole's act of violence is quite concerning to him, Codsworth does find himself grateful that his old friend is willing to defend him against the abuse he's become accustomed to. Codsworth assures Sole he's fine and insists that he doesn't cause so much ruckus on his behalf, but he will make a point to thank him profusely for caring, even if he is just a robot butler.

Hancock While Goodneighbor is more than welcoming to people from all walks of life, Hancock isn't blind to the treatment of his kind outside the walls. He'd seen it with his own brother in Diamond City and Hancock wishes that he'd fought as hard for the exiled ghouls as Sole had just fought for him. The name calling doesn't bother him, really, he's heard it all before and he can handle himself. What catches him off guard is Sole beating the bigot that had insulted him to a pulp. He does figure that Sole might owe him one, considering Hancock had handled Finn for him the day they'd met. Still, he assures Sole that he's fine and clarifies that he can fight his own battles, not that the show Sole had put on wasn't entertaining to watch.

Nick Valentine Being around as long as Nick has, he knows what people think of his kind and sometimes it can be hard to blame them. The Institute are dangerous and they've taken countless lives for their own selfish gain, even though it's not his fault he has to walk around looking like their poster boy, he can understand why people might take out their frustration on him. Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't quick to bite back to defend himself. On this occasion though, Sole was quicker and much more vicious and Nick had barely managed to comprehend what had just happened before Sole was back at his side asking if he was okay. Nick was fine, as usual, and only might a slightly irritated remark about Sole using his words next time rather than his fists, before thanking him.

Strong He doesn't really understand the insult being thrown at him and, although he definitely will try to join in, he isn't too sure as to why Sole is attacking a random civilian. Once Sole has made sure that Strong is okay - which, of course, he is - and once he's explained what had just happened and why, Strong isn't particularly bothered, he knows Super Mutants are the superior race, the comments of a "puny human" won't change that.

X6-88 A snide remark from a worthless scavenger means absolutely nothing to him, but apparently it means a lot to Sole, who doesn't hesitate to give the scavenger a beatdown and make him apologise to X6. He decides to wait, rather impatiently, for Sole to be done, before asking that he doesn't cause such a scene again for something so meaningless. Deep down though, Sole knows that's his way of saying thank you.

NCR trooper having Christmas meal back home in New Cali. The tiny mess room was decorated in style. A green wreath hung at one end as a Christmas tree. The tables were loaded with food, they have fried chicken (poultry raised under NCR 'Food for Defense' program) hardtacks, pea soup, mash potatoes, cream chipped gecko on toast. The hardtack were soggy and moldy usually because of bad storage and ones infested with maggots, and weevils, but they didn’t mind that. That one night officers and troopers had their mess together. It was rather close quarters. They had a crew of four officers and thirty-two troopers, it was no dress affair. No fish and soup as you call them. In short, there were many drawbacks, but good spirits were not one of them. In the tight, overcrowded little mess room they ate and talked. The meal was washed down with potato coffee mixed with rum, and they lost count of the number of toasts that were drunk.

So, my SoSu is Scottish. There's a possibility Mac is too! Have an Info Dump!

Did a little research into the meanings behind the characters' names and the name of my fic! (Let me tell you, that accidental name keeps on giving!)

Nathanial Alasdair Watt.

Nathanial means 'God has given.’

Alasdair means 'defender of men.’

Watt can mean 'strong warrior' or 'powerful ruler.'

As Minutemen General, he's got the name for it!

Robert Joseph MacCready

Robert means  "bright fame."

Joseph comes from the Hebrew “Yosef,” meaning “God will give” or “God will add.”

MacCready translates to "son of Riada," 'Riada' meaning trained/expert.

The surname MacCready could have Scottish/Irish origins. (Typically, 'Mac' is Scottish, and 'Mc' is Irish. They mean 'son of.’) Scottish seems likely.

Also...the rate at which he throws out the profanity in FO3...Major Scottish vibes 😂😂😂

A running theme in my fic is Mac's feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt starkly contrast to his name ('bright fame.' expert/trained.)

He's a self-taught sniper. He stepped up and became a leader and likely held onto the title of Mayor until he hit sixteen.

[Mac quest Spoiler warning]

- Duncan is a Scottish name, and it means 'Dark Warrior,' which I will extend to 'Dark Haired Warrior' Well, the little guy is fighting for his life every day.

He's a self-taught sniper. He stepped up and became a leader and likely held onto the title of Mayor until he hit sixteen. He certainly has a lot of knowledge and insights to pass onto our little 'Dark Haired Warrior. 

Oh, and MacCready's VA, the wonderful Matt Mercer is of Scottish descent!

Alas, the following tis riddled with spoilers for my fic…so if you want to read more, I recommend you return after you've caught up with the first four chapters! 😁 [Find it here]

The MacBeth title: 

During their time together, Nate often speaks of his younger sister, Elspeth. 

Elspeth is the Scottish equivalent of Elizabeth. (And this, we have Beth.) Her full name is Elspeth Rae Watt. 

- Elspeth means "God is my oath," or  'Chosen by God.'

- Rae means grace, timid, or bashful. 

Nate often speaks of a sibling whose life was tragically cut short. A fate Mac does not want for his son.

In Shakespeare's play, Macbeth is the General to King Duncan, and by fulfilling the prophecy of becoming king, by murdering the king, his guilt drives his paranoia.

So in a roundabout way, not being there for his son, Duncan's wavering fate, his fear that Duncan may still die because he wasted so much time to get the cure rule over him.

Nate was a grounding force in his life, someone to steer and teach him. He trusts Nate more than he trusts himself, so he agrees to become Mayor of Sanctuary and accepts the title of becoming Nate's Lieutenant General. He is driven by a need to make Nate proud and continue the work they started. 

Without Nate to guide him, and until he is reunited with his son, until he knows for sure the cure worked, MacCready will struggle with his responsibilities. 

His lack of faith in himself and the mixed perceptions of him through the eyes of others will challenge him every step of the way. 

Macbeth in Fallout 4.

Strong, MacCready is the only companion he refers to by name, complementing his skills as a fighter. 

'The Milk of Human Kindness.' compassion and purity are seen as a weakness to Lady Macbeth. 

Strong seeks it as a means of strength. 

MacCready has had to fight his whole life, both physically and mentally. 

Despite what he thinks of himself,  you can tell there is an air of innocence about him (Tunnel Snakes Rule!) he's a man who had to grow up way too fast and deal with so much heartache for someone who is only twenty-two,  and he strives to be a better man for his son. 

Nate sees in MacCready what he does not, that beneath that weathered exterior is someone who deserves a chance to show what he is made of. Someone who can provide a home for his son.

Whether or not MacCready (or anyone else) will make it easy for himself is another matter—he is only human, after all.
