I love how Sturges is like one of the smartest guys in Fallout 4.

He’s one Mechanic.

He builds a teleporter. He hacks the Institute. He figures out how to blow up the Prydwen.

He’s insanely cracked.

Preston is just like “oh yeah Sturges can do this” and I’m like “IS HE MAGIC?”

The Institute missed a trick not hiring him

Puts this sketch of Sturges on the table and walks away

Sturges appreciation post.

Could you do the Fallout 4 guys on how they would propose to sole survivor, (maybe how they got/scrapped together a ring) and maybe what their ideal marriage ceremony might look like? Where would they have it? Lavish or humble? Big crowd or totally private?

》Aww, that's sweet.

【Deacon】 Uses the casual honor system.

He's been married and did all the fancy stuff before and he knows you have too. How did that work out for the two of you? He's content to just have whatever it is between you two forever but at a certain point he knows you won't, or at least he thinks. One day he just starts calling you his wife/husband. When you inevitably have a talk about it you just 'get married'. No ring, no vows, no wedding. Who's gonna tell you you're not married? Literally no one.

【Hancock】 Proposes to you in front of the entire town.

Hancock is known for a lot of things and subtly is not one of them. He asks you to stand on the balcony while he runs out. Five minutes later he's on the ground shouting as loud as he can about how much he loves you and how much you belong together. A crowd gathers very quickly to watch his proposal.

【MacCready】 Propose quietly.

In a private moment he offers you the box and asks you. No pressure and if you feel like that's not where your relationship is at he'll put it away. He rushed a marriage once so he knows waiting is not the end of the world.

【Nick】 Gets on one knee.

He knows this rodeo. He sets up dinner and candles. You know somethings up because he can't eat and he doesn't like candles, says the fire is a hazard. For dessert he puts a little box in front of you and gets on one knee.

【Sturges】 Gets on both knees to propose because he thinks it's more respectful.

It's 200 years into the apocalypse, not all traditions survive and when they do they don't survive fully intact. He thinks of getting on one knee is out of respect and there is no one in the Commonwealth he'd rather get on his knees for.

【Travis Miles】 Gets on both knees to propose because he thinks it's more committal.

He knows it's one knee but he thinks the reason you're supposed to get on one knee is to offer yourself so he wanted to offer himself completely... by getting on his knees. He realizes what you must see looking at him but it wouldn't be much of a commitment if he got up so he powers through.

【X6-88】 This man is not going to propose to you unless you tell him to.

Like with many things he doesn't see the point. You're together already, why would you get more together? That being said, he has done and will do anything for you so he keeps this information to himself, especially when you ask him to propose to you. Whatever you ask for he'll do. You want it to be a surprise? In a crowd? You want to do it now? Ask and he'll give.

About to be late for work because I'm busy writing Sturges smut.

Them

[minuteminx]

I love how if the sole survivor says “why can’t he (sturges) do it?” When Preston asks you to get the mini gun and go ham, Preston will say something to the effect of “Sturges is big, but he’s not much help in a fight.”

And it kills me because like

Sir.

You thought a 115lb traumatized housewife from 210 years ago IS??

The power of friendship <3

[ID: A digital drawing of Mama Murphy, Preston, and Sturges, in a chibi like style!

Murphy’s standing using a cane and is holding a pink umbrella over Preston, who’s sitting on the ground. Sturges is kneeling next to Preston and has one hand on his shoulder.

Notably, Murphy’s scars are stylized to look more jagged and the one over her right eye looks like a crosshair symbol, and Preston has a thin vertical scar on his right cheek. /End ID]

Sturges Headcanons below the cut because I love this silly guy!

I know most people think he doesn't know he's a synth but I actually prefer the alternative. Sturges knows he's a synth, he just doesn't tell anyone about it.

He's incredibly smart. You wouldn't guess it by looking at him or interacting with him casually but have a serious conversation with him, and it becomes clear that he's super intelligent.

Felt like Quincy was the first place he could really call a home, because the Institute sure wasn't a home for him.

Though he has tried to put his life in the Institute and his past behind him, he can’t forget the past. He doesn't miss the Institute but he does miss the other synths he managed to befriend. He thinks about them all the time.

Made up the name Sturges. He has no where he got it from. It starts with an S because his designation started with an S.

Gives the most thoughtful gifts. This man will give you the most perfect homemade birthday gift in the world.

He might not have a birthday in the traditional sense, but he treats the day he escaped the Institute like his birthday and celebrates it as such. No one knows what the day really means to him.

Absolutely loves to be hugged. Spent a large part of his life being totally touch starved because synths didn't get hugged in the Institute. Is now making up for lost time, please hug Sturges.

Sometimes he hates hiding that he's a synth. Being a synth often makes him feel lonely and isolated and like he's pretending to be something he isn't. He can't talk about the experiences that shaped him into who he is without revealing his deepest secret. He's scared if the people he cares about find out he's a synth that they'll stop seeing him as a person. So he pretends that he's just a regular human, tells stories from a childhood that he made up and tries not to react too strongly to negative comments about synthkind. It's what he does to survive but he wishes he could just stop pretending for once and that the synth component in his head didn't matter so much to everyone.
