[Valentine Idolizes You]

➼ Word Count » 0.5k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ Summary » Headcanons based on how Nick treats you once idolized.

Starting off with the basics, he's gonna wanna hire you. He'll even offer you his bed in the agency, it's not like he sleeps in it anyway. You, him, and Ellie are gonna be the greatest group of detectives in the Commonwealth. Ellie can hold down the fort at home while you and Nick go solve mysteries.

If he hasn't seen you for more than 2 weeks, then, depending on how many cases he's working on, he's gonna go looking for you. He doesn't wanna come across as overbearing, but he's so concerned about losing you, he honestly can't help but want to ensure that you're alright.

That being said, he's always gonna be there for you. You need someone to talk to? Head on over to Nick's place, you were there for him with Winter and he'll gladly be there for you.

Expect a lot of moments where the two of you just sit in comfortable silence. Him looking over case files and you tinkering with your weapons.

Nick—especially around the holidays—will light a little campfire somewhere in the agency and the three of you (you, Nick, and Ellie) will just sit around and talk. It's one of his favorite past times. Just a nice, comfortable moment to take a breath and celebrate yourselves for all the work you've completed together.

Nick will be one of, if not the, most honest person you'll ever come across. He might soften it a bit but Nick will still tell you the truth, whether it's hard or not. He doesn't think he has it in him to keep something from you.

Nick has a habit of quoting pre-war media because he knows you'll understand the references.

If you have the Mysterious Stranger perk, he'll occasionally sit you down in his office and confide his findings with you. He wants to know what you think about him and every detail involving your interactions with the stranger.

Nick is naturally a more serious and sarcastic person, but he finds that he smiles a lot more when he's with you. Nothing big, but nothing too subtle either.

Whenever you meet someone new, Nick likes to interrogate them. He's like a dad in that sense. Again, he's worried he'll come off as overbearing, but he wants to make sure you're not being taken advantage of.

The kind of guy who teaches you how to tie a tie.

If you agreed to stay with him and Ellie at the agency, then he'll frequently ask if you want to go on walks with him around Diamond City. Domestic things like this make him feel at peace, especially when it's with someone he cares about.

Nick really likes to play blackjack with you and, unless you have a crazy good luck stat, he'll win every time. He, at the very least, isn't prone to bragging. It's one of the pros of playing any competitive game with him.

It’s hard to find, but when he can he’ll make you a cup of coffee. He technically doesn’t need it, but he can remember how much human Nick liked it, and you probably deserved it.

On days that aren't busy, Nick will turn the radio on and you’ll teach each other how to dance to certain songs until Travis mentions something that seems sketchy enough to look into.

Romanced! FO4 Companions and the Little Things They Do in Relationships

Alright, so this one wasn't really a request, but just a lil amalgamation of relationship headcannons that I compiled recently.

I'm definitely still getting back into the swing of things in terms of writing, so my output hasn't been fantastic lately, but hopefully this lil tidbit makes y'all smile 😊

I hope you enjoy!

Cait:

Gives her partner massages often. When there’s that rare bit of downtime, she’ll take the opportunity to help both her and her partner relax, and this is a great way to do it. She's exceptionally gifted at them, given her time spent in the ring and having to combat that bodily soreness herself. She also loves how they tend to end up leading to a lil something more with her partner (wink, wink). 

Curie:

This girl compliments you at every turn. Any little good thing that comes to mind, she's the first to say, and she does it often. Always the first to see the best in people, to see their potential, and you, of course, are no exception. Her compliments tend to be about your clothes, words, and actions rather than just flattering your physical appearance. Though, she definitely does that on occasion as well. 

Danse:

He always checks in with his partner a few times a day. Even if you're both working on projects separately, he likes to come over and ask how your day is going/how you're feeling. Even if you spend the whole day at each other's side, he takes a couple rest stops and asks how you're doing along the way. Maybe it stems from his time as a CO, always checking in with his team and getting/giving status updates, but it’s one of the main ways he shows that he cares.  

Deacon:

He notices a lot about his partner. The way your nails are torn and shortened means you're stressed, or when you bite your lip that certain way it means you're nervous, when you’ve been particularly spacey, it means you’re dwelling on the past and probably not in the best headspace that day. He’s not great at bringing it up and chatting about it, but he adjusts his behavior and his humor to fit the mood you’re in, and when time and space allow, he does what he can to distract you from some of the more negative feelings that may be rising up.  

Hancock:

He always needs a hand on his partner, or just to be touching them somehow. It's not that he's really trying to be possessive, per-say, he just can't get enough of you. Always is holding your hand, or throwing an arm over your shoulders, or pulling you practically into his lap with a giddy smile on his face. When you’re not actively in his lap, he’s happy to settle for leaning his head on your shoulder, or brushing your thigh with his own, or even just holding pinkies.  

MacCready:

He's a great gift giver. Definitely the partner that often finds little things that remind him of you, and he tends to gift them to you with a blushy explanation of how you come to mind with so much of what he sees. He’s also quite crafty, and enjoys giving homemade gifts as well. Definitely the one to suggest homemade presents for anniversaries and birthdays and such.  

Nick:

Always kisses you before he leaves, and it's the first thing he does when he returns to you. Real old-fashioned, but it's a trend that he'd never give up, cuz it means all the more when it's with you. The memories of it with the old Nick just don't hold up the same way. 

Piper:

The partner to leave little notes all over the place to let you know she was thinking of you. In the bathroom, on the kitchen counter, over your pillow, anywhere really is fair game. They just contain little compliments and inspirational quotes or reminders of memories with you. Whatever good thing she thinks of you, she just writes it down and leaves it for you to find and reminisce upon yourself. 

Preston:

He always brings you flowers (or another, equally thoughtful, gift) whenever he returns home. Usually he tries to find your favorites in terms of blooms, but he just loves the extra color in the house and the way you light up when you see them (he doesn’t really realize that the true reason you’re lighting up is because he’s coming home to you).  

X6-88:

He remembers all of the little details about you that anyone else would usually ignore or forget. Favorite color and food, your allergies, your favorite number, favorite song and the artist it's by. All of it is duly noted by the courser, and put into consideration when he's gifting you something, when you two go to eat, or when the radio is playing. He may not be too long-winded in speech, but he’s a tremendous listener and observer.

If Fallout 4 companions had TikTok accounts

Cait would have an account dedicated to fighting and thirst traps (aimed at women mostly). Teaches women self-defense techniques. She earns a spot in the algorithm of muscle mommies. She also raises awareness for addicts and former addicts, educating on the effects of drugs and the reasons people seek them out in the first place. Honestly, it's a very good account to follow.

Codsworth is just confused about TikTok. He's like "oh so what are the children saying these days? Aura? I'll have to add a new word to my vocabulary banks! Cheerio, mum!"

Curie makes educational videos for all ages and all subjects. She has a series of learning Japanese, a series of vaccines and the science behind them, a series about the effects of different types of parenting, you name it. She also takes suggestions from her audience on what new things to research.

Danse has unintentional thirst traps. He talks about power armor and the Brotherhood of Steel but also posts workouts. These are what get the most attention out of everything he posts. The BookTok girlies find him and all hell breaks loose in the comment sections. He responds to this with, "Thank you, civilians. I am not sure what you mean, but I am glad you are supporting the Brotherhood of Steel by being on my page. Thank you for your enthusiasm for our righteous cause. Ad victorium." People armchair diagnose him as autistic.

Deacon does "GRWM as i tell you about the time i ______" videos where each day he looks completely different and you can never tell if he's telling the truth or not. He also does head shaving videos that double as story times or opinion pieces. You can't tell if those are true or not either.

Dogmeat has a viral account followed by millions. Get's a lot of "I can't imagine liking this guy" comments with the op replying to their own comment with "anymore than I already do. Huge fan!"

Hancock does subtle cheeky thirst traps and dance challenges. This entire post was inspired by the FACT that Hancock would participate in the brat summer trend and would do the Apple dance with Fahrenheit filming it. He also tells stories, mostly of him being high. He gets a lot of requests to cosplay Deadpool.

MacCready has a lot of things he does. Some videos are sniper trick shots, some are Grognak the Barbarian yapping (he does short lore deep dives when he can), and some are about being a young single dad. He doesn't show Duncan's face because he's extremely protective. Casually drops the most insane lore about his childhood which leads to comments like "are we just ignoring that he said he grew up in a cave?"

Nick Valentine would be a very popular fashion and "a day in the life of a detective". He'd do vintage fashion looks, like loose slacks and suspenders with a trench coat to top it off. Sometimes does a deep dive into detective history. Gets a lot of thirsty comments to which he replies "that's one way to get the coolant pumping."

Old Longfellow has the appeal of the New England, stormy weather, sweater-wearing fisherman aesthetic, and he tells stories of his youth while showing people around the area he grew up. Learns mobile phone cinematography to make it look cooler. Every video has either a lesson or a skill for survival.

Piper's account is solely focused on news and truth, posting every source she uses. She uses the trend of an insane video, like someone falling badly on the ground or getting splashed with water, and stitches it to look like a seamless transition of her rolling from the fall or being splashed to start talking about her news stories. It gets traction so she continues.

Porter Gage has a side gig of running TikTok accounts for different people. Gets the money, doesn't get the backlash when they get canceled for racism or worker exploitation.

Preston has an account dedicated to charity work and social activism. He makes sure to highlight organizations he feels are doing the world a service and regularly has fundraisers. He's well-known for always sharing content from people in dire situations and raising money for them. Has a master document of Go Fund Me pages and vets every one of them.

Strong has a lot of those unintentional boomer tiktoks that are 1 second long and he's just looking at the screen in confusion.

X6 cyber bullies the rest of them because he thinks having a TikTok is cringe and stupid (he is currently writing hate comments with his TikTok account)

[xxadvictoriamxx]

selected companions & what they’d do if Sole slept with their PipBoy on

- Danse would most likely ignore it. He knows it has important information about Sole, such as their health, and doesn’t want to remove it. Or somehow break it.

- Deacon would probably start playing the games the pair collected. He’d play in the dark, Sole’s arm across his lap, tongue out in concentration.

- Gage wouldn’t really care. Overboss will do what Overboss does.

- Hancock might play a couple games on the PipBoy, or use it as a nightlight, but otherwise he doesn’t give it too much attention.

- MacCready would absolutely use it as a nightlight. To read comics. Boy is cuddling up to Sole, happily using the flashlight option to read his comics he hid in Sole’s pack.

- Nick would most likely remove the PipBoy. He figures it’s not going to be comfortable to sleep with a hunk of plastic and metal stuck to their arm all night. He gives it back when they wake up.

[sinisterexaggerator]

I see dickless Nick Valentine and raise you Nick’s got a dick behind that front panel of his. Springs into action when the time comes. Imagine a little whirring sound as the gears turn to reveal the robocop’s got a robocock.

“In my experience, lowlifes like to hit below the belt. You might say being a private eye means you’ve got to protect your private parts.”

I’m sorry

[godzillasfav]

Hear me out on Valencock Spideypool…PLEASE SPIDER NOIR AND NICK ARE THE SAME PERSON, AS WELL AS DEADPOOL AND HANCOCK PLEASE 😣

[sugarbombs-n-stuff]

Companion's Comfort Foods

(I didn't include Ada and Codsworth cause they don't eat)

Cait: Cait's comfort food is cottage pie (which is shepards pie with beef instead of lamb). It was on the food rotation at the combat zone before the raiders took over and it brings back good memories of her first few years of freedom. Cottage pie and a beer is a good supper for her.

Curie: A bowl of sugarbombs. It was the first meal she had after she got turned into a synth so she's grown really fond of it. She likes cereal in general so if you sit her down with some and a puzzle, she'll be so happy, though she does like eating while talking to a friend.

Danse: When he was in the BOS it probably would have been coffee seeing as the food really wasn't great. It was pretty much flavorless chicken and mashed tatoes and the thought of it made his stomach churn. A cup of coffee however was guaranteed, and it was good every time. After BB no questions asked his comfort food is beef(brahmin) stew. Sturges makes some flavorful, mouthwatering, downright sinful tasting food and you'll always see Danse first in line whenever it's the stew in particular that's being made. He also likes to dip some cornbread in it, and it isn't uncommon that you'll see him patting his stomach after eating like some midwestern dad.

Deacon: Roasted mutton on fry bread with hot peppers. Deacon was raised on Lake Mead by his mom and grandparents. His grandma was Navajo, so they always had something with fry bread and meat, normally bighorner meat. The mutton became his favorite though. It's a wave of nostalgia every time he takes a bite. He doesn't really have it anymore, partly because of he can't really get it in the commonwealth and partly because even if he makes it, it's never as good as his family makes. A big stupid smile is on his face whenever he visits his mom, and she makes it for him. Though he hasn't been out there in a while, too busy helping the Railroad.

Dogmeat: Dogmeat will eat anything, and he doesn't really have a comfort food. His favorite food though his dried brahmin ears,

Strong: Pre War Strong and Super mutant Strong actually agree in this area, his comfort food is still ribs. Pre-war, he liked dry rub ribs that make your mouth water and stomach grumble when you look at them, he was damn good at making them to cause he learned from his grandad so anytime he made them he thought about him. Now he likes raw brahmin ribs. He isn't picky anymore and doesn't care as long as he eats but if he really concentrates, he can still hear a deep laugh like rolling thunder and smell a hint of spice when he takes a bite.

Preston: Rabbit Stew. Growing up with his auntie on far harbor he ate pretty much everything, mans was a human garbage disposal. However, he had broken his leg when he was 10 and his auntie made him rabbit stew. They sat in the bed and laughed and joked for hours as she told him stories. His big brother even joined them and joked around too. Now every time he makes it, that memory is at the front of his mind, it causes a smile to sit on his face for the rest of the day afterwords.

Piper: Her dad used to make cabbage rolls with corn and rad stag. She still makes it for Nat but when she starts cooking it, she swears she can hear her dad talking her through how to make it for the first time. She doesn't let herself get sad at the memory when she's cooking, she embraces it. She keeps promising to teach nat how to make it but she's kind of swamped with work at the moment, but they have it every week they can afford it.

MacCready: Like danse he also likes stew however his comfort food his mushroom stew. He remembers eating it in Little Lamplight and when he takes a bite suddenly, he's Mayor MacCready sitting with his pals and getting irritated at Princess again. He also thinks of him chatting with lucy, both as kids and adults and gets a comforting sadness for a little afterword but comforting none the less.

Hancock: Him and his brother used to make fruit jam growing up and would sell it in Diamond City market. He still makes the jams now with the help of Daisy and sells them in her store. His mind wanders and he wonders that if things were different between McDonough and him, if they would still make them together. His brother's favorite was the dandy boy apple one so that's his comfort food. Dandy Boy Apple Jam.

Nick Valentine: Coffee. Nick doesn't eat much and human nick really only ate out of necessity. Ellie makes him a cup every morning and they talk before they get to work. Good memories are enjoyed over coffee and that's good enough for Nick.

X6-88: When he was in the institute he liked the coconut nutrition pouches but he wouldn't classify it as a comfort food because he was a machine that didn't need comfort in his or the institutes eyes. Now that he runs around with sole survivor though, his comfort food is braised deathclaw with rice. It's extremely filling, and he thinks of that first night he was assigned to Sole and they made them this. It was one of the first times he seriously considered being something close to human.

Longfellow: Roasted Fog Crawler with black beans and a side of scotch. He cooks well and he actually really enjoys it. Whenever he cooks, he gets peace and peace is comfort. Not to mention the whiskey settles his soul for a bit.

Gage: Spicy Curry. He learned to make this dish originally from his mom and for a while after becoming a raider he didn't touch it again cause of the memories. Eventually though, one night when he wasn't thinking about it, he started taking out the ingredients to make it. Muscle memory is a bitch but he's not going to waste food and when he took that first bite, he heard his mom singing in his brain and telling him to wash up after. It's rare when he does eat it but when he does you might be able to hear him humming as he makes it.

[bretonalchemist]

headcanon time !

nick has a really dirty mind, but he's too much of a gentleman to let it out

on the other hand, deacon keeps making sexual jokes/remarks but when someone seriously flirts with him, he gets all flustered

[elvishdemigod]

Headcanon that Nick has dad vibes because his original self's fiancé was pregnant. He didn't know that, but it still came as a natural instinct.

Nick Valentine/reader, Deacon/Reader

Gn reader, Sfw, famous sole survivor

Nick valentine and deacon come across a holotape of a famous prewar sole

Requests still open! For writing and now fallout doodles or sketches!!

▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

Nick Valentine

He knew he recognized you from somewhere but he couldn’t put his finger on it. Something about how you spoke—about your face, it all seemed way too familiar. Throughout your time traveling together he tried putting the pieces together, but he was still coming up blank. He wanted to ask you upfront but he didn’t know how to exactly to phrase it so he dropped it, until he found the holotape.

You two were walking around through the wasteland until you found an abandoned house, it was falling apart but it would do good as shelter for the night at least. Tossing their bag on the floor you made your way to the rather disgusting looking sleeping bag that laid on the floor, a huff escaped their lips as they sat down on the bag. Nick didn’t need to sleep but he liked having time to rest up, whether that be for a smoke break or to read a chapter or two of the latest book he was reading. Right now Nick was looking around the house, probably looking for supplies or something of that nature, your eyes scanned him as he went through the desk that sat near the door; he was looking over a holotape that sat on the desk.

His eyes narrowed as the scanned the tape, it looked fairly old and worn so…why would it be labeled with their name? He was silent for a moment contemplating the possibilities, hell maybe this was a family members house or…something. He hummed softly as he walked off from the desk, tossing them the holotape: “might wanna take a look at that.” He gestured to the tape that sat beside them now, trying to gauge their expression.

Once you explained the fact you were a famous singer prewar it clicked—he had seen your face on billboards, heard your voice on the radio. A small smile formed on his tattered lips as he looked down at you, “so that’s why I recognized you.” He chuckled softly as you held the tape, happy with the fact that the mystery was solved.

▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

Deacon

Deacon has always been interested in pre-war television, he always wanted to find an actual functioning television but that was basically impossible in the wasteland. He often spends most of his time going to old movie stores and going through the burnt magazines and tapes, he practically hordes them. His eyes widened as he found a magazine with a familiar face.

They walked through the streets eyeing the old stores that surround them, praying to find an old supermarket or something similar. “Hey boss—“ they turned their head to face their companion as he motioned to a building, in bold letters above the entrance it read, “movies”. They cocked an eyebrow before he spoke once more, “cmon you never know what prewar gadgets they got in those places.” he said with his typical smile as you two made your way in. It was dusty—as if no one had been in here since the bombs dropped. Deacon almost immediately went to the holotapes, sorting through them as his partner scavenged the room for any food, weapons or the typical junk. His eyes drifted aside to the magazine rack, raising an eyebrow as he picked up a magazine.

He chuckled for a moment as he held the magazine up, “you gotta see this boss” he said as he moved to their side. He held up the magazine while glancing back and fourth between the two, “it’s identical!” setting the magazine down he watched their expression change as they started to chuckle themselves, “Deacon that is me.”

His eyebrows shot up as he glanced back down at the magazine, noticing their name on the cover. He smiled once more as he walked back over to the holotapes, “wow, guess I need glasses.” He chuckled, sorting through them until he found one of their old movies and stuffing it into his pocket, “We’re definitely having a movie night.”

Deacon in all reality knew, their name was on the cover he wasn’t stupid. He just wanted to bring it up in someway, he’d seen their face on all sorts of posters in the commonwealth. Deacon had always been fascinated by acting, he practically does it himself…but doing it professionally is a whole different thing. He also really wants to watch your movies.

[everydayyoulovemeless]

If you don't do requests then please ignore this but if you do then can I request Nick Valentine being fatherly to sole?

Nick Being Fatherly To Sole

➼ Word Count » 0.5k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ A/N » No, cause he'd literally be the best dad ?? Thanks for requesting Anon <3

Nick takes on a father-like role in the relationship really early on. When you both first go track down Kellog, he's already mentally adopting you.

He wants to be the first to teach you about the Commonwealth before any other group can corrupt or influence your thinking. He does this by offering to walk with you to different places with you and ensuring that you're hanging around the right crowds. (honestly, as long as they're not raiders, he's chill)

He likes to nudge his shoulder into your own whenever you both walk to make you stumble a little.

He always offers to treat you to a drink at the Duggout Inn after particularly hard quests or cases.

Sometimes on slower nights, he'll talk to you about memories he has from human Nick and the two of you will reminisce about the world that was lost to time.

Whenever you're upset, he'll sit with you on one of the beds in the agency, and give you this big long dad speech on how he's proud of you, or if you'd prefer, he and you could just sit there in silence until you fall asleep.

Another thing he does to show he's proud is putting his hat on your head and giving you that old bot chuckle he sometimes does.

He's quick to stand up for you, and whenever a settler or resident starts singling you out. He'll drape his coat over your shoulders and start arguing with them right then and there.

He's incredibly protective and would do literally anything to keep you safe and happy.

Nick grows restless whenever you're gone longer than usual and will contact some of his 'acquaintances' to go find you and help you out of whatever mess you managed to get yourself into, or if he finds he has the time, he'll go off on his own to track you down.

If you wanted, he’d sit you down and teach you how to hack. He’d have to dumb all the terms down so you could catch on better. it ends up being a great time rather than some long, boring lecture.

He's the type to write these little positive notes and leave them around the agency for you to find.

Nick would find a way to fix up the Starlight Drive-In so that the two of you could set up some chairs on the roof of the building and watch a movie with all the other settlers who live there. If you had a favorite movie from before the war, he'd get Dogmeat and try to find one that he could play at the drive-in for you.

He likes to crack dad jokes because he genuinely thinks they’re funny and cause they always seem to annoy you.

He’s honestly just happy to feel that sort of family bond with you and would drop everything to be at your side and defend you.

[atomicowboy]

i think so often about nick celebrating his birthday on valentine’s day. he remembers his “real” birthday but it doesn’t feel quite right anymore because knows what he is, where he came from, and hell, he was never really “born”, was he? it’s just another reminder of the person he’s based off, the person he’ll never be, not really. just the plastic-skinned ghost of a dead man. he’s worked so hard to craft himself a new life out of the plastic-coated-metal hand he’d been dealt, but every year on that day he can’t help but dwell on the ghosts of his past.

but then the sole survivor comes along with their prewar notions and habits and holidays and maybe it comes up in conversation one night traveling across the commonwealth, sole huddled up close to the fire, a cigarette he can’t really smoke dangling from nick’s lips, and he lies and tells them he doesn’t remember. theyre shocked! he has to have something to celebrate!

february 14th rolls around that year. nick’s used to the jabs and jokes by the folk in diamond city, cliche as they are, and has grown to expect them with only the occasional snide comment in return. what he didn’t expect was to come back to his office after a long day of chasing dead ends to find a cupcake on his desk, icing just starting to melt, and a note.

happy birthday, nick.

[fallout-mountains]

Thoughts on Fallout 4 companions after playing the game for a bit and reading a whole lot of headcanons and fanfic and reactions:

- Hancock said he didn’t want to look at this face in the mirror and decides to do a drug instead of surgery. That’s some real self-hate there.

- There’s so much self-flagellation

- One the same note, ghouls can’t go under surgery?

- Someone mentioned that quests for the minuteman could have been handed out by the Freedom radio, instead of Preston, so that more backstory could be given to Preston.

- Nick and Deacon we’re probably thought to be too old and they didn’t want it to be creepy of hooking up with an older guy…(sigh)

- That it’s easy to write Sole to be compatible with everyone, since the game allows you to role play that character in many ways.

- MacCready’s backstory is both endearing and weird (because of him not going to see his son). I think the people who made the game didn’t want to bother with coding him leaving for a bit and then coming back, but… really? Should have changed the background story a bit to at least add that he needs to stay in case the medication didn’t work (or something like that)

- Deacon since he changes his face and has seemingly traveled could be in another Fallout game, any of them…

- Since Deacon changes his appearance, you get more attached to his voice. (He also has some very interesting things to say.)

- That when Deacon changes his face, Dezdemona is there the whole to verify it’s still him.

- Nick rolls with the punches, and has a very good emotional IQ, moreso than any of the other companions. He’s so even keel emotionally, that the Far harbor expansion hits a bit harder, because that’s where you see more of His emotion.

- Piper would be the best to adapt to our world

- Majority of the ways people can become your companions is weird why they even offer. (Like why would Hancock travel with Sole and not another person who wasn’t part of quest to raid their warehouse? Doesn’t Piper have other stories to investigate? Doesn’t Deacon have missions to do? Why isn’t Strong following Rex Goodman around? Nick has plenty of other cases to just run around randomly)

- Paladin Danse says that he wasn’t sure about Sole but also highly recommends you join the Brotherhood. So which is it? Also, I only did like one big quest for them and I am given a power armor.

- Is the reason they complain about picking up stuff is that eventually they have to carry some of it?

- Ada is a good companion, but doesn’t offer a perk, hence the reason probably not talked about a lot because no reason to travel with her

- I don’t know why the institute is doing what they are doing

- I really wish they could mark the clothes that can go under a person’s armor.

- Why are people wearing scarves? Is it cold there because it never seems to snow.

- I find it interesting that the companions all generally know each other or at least the have swapping dialogs that make it seem that way. (Curie has literally been locked away for 200 years.)

- They have veritbirds but no land vehicles. There’s supposedly caravans, but no wagons? Would it be too dangerous to have that?

I probably have more, but that’s for now

Fo4 Companions + Maxson Height Head Canons

So, I thought that this would be really fun! I couldn't really find anything on characters height speculations besides from the protagonists of each game, so I'd figure to share mine! These are rather short, literally just how tall I think each character is, however, some may write some extra drabbles in the future based on their heights.

I did not include Old Longfellow, Codsworth, or Ada. I've never used Longfellow, so I don't have any head canons on him yet. I'm more of a humanoid writer, so the robots will be put on hold until i get the courage to write robots.

I'm also deciding to open requests up! I'll be trying to post a drabble/head canon/imagine at least once a week or every other week (I'm working on my fanfiction with my OC as well, so my upload schedule isn't set yet >.<)

Cait:

Cait is around 5'7.

Curie:

Curie is around 5'5.

Danse:

Danse is a solid 6" tall without his power armor, but with his power armor he'd be around 6'5-6'7ish.

Deacon:

Deacon is around 5'8.

Gage:

Gage is around 5'9.

Hancock:

Hancock is around 5'7.

MacCready:

MacCready is around 5'11.

Maxson:

He is around 5'8.

Nick:

apparently it’s my first year on tumblr so here are some overdue head cannons

- Danse could sleep in his power armor. In fact, he has. Completely upright nonetheless.

- Deacon loves the USS Constitution for some reason. He refused to tell Sole why. Be it the rockets or the history, he loves it.

- Gage knew Nisha under a different name. For the first few years after he left the settlement, he went by other names to avoid being sent back. He ran into Nisha when he switched from Caravan hand to raider. She didn’t remember him.

- Hancock knew Nick while growing up. He smoked his first cigarette on the ‘roof’ of Nick’s agency after stealing a pack of cigarettes laying around.

- MacCready has almost all the issues of Grognak the Barbarian. The only one he’s missing is the one Nate got the day before the bombs dropped. He also has all of the Unstoppables.

- Nick doesn’t sleep, but gets these little crashes when he’s been working too hard for a long period of time. Hence why Ellie wants Sole to help with cases.
