#fallout 4 Shaun

[zirawrites]

How would romanceable companions react to Shaun telling them that for Christmas he’d like a little brother/sister?

Cait: Cait tossed her head back with a carefree laugh, then lowered on one knee to look Shaun in his eyes. “Well, you tell your daddy/mum to keep wearing that outfit I love so much and you just might.” Then Cait uncharacteristically giggled when Shaun furrowed his brow in confusion.

Curie: Curie was surprised to find explaining her infertility to Shaun was more difficult than when she initially grappled with it herself. “Alas, young Shaun, but I do not think we can have a baby.” Curie gently squeezed his arm. “But the Commonwealth is very big, and maybe one day we might find a child to take in like yourself.”

Danse: The soldier nervously chuckled, moving his eyes between a flustered Sole and their eager son. “A baby is a lot of responsibility, Shaun. And it would be years before they could play with you.” Shaun still insisted, and Danse rubbed his face as if he could physically wipe away his anxiety. “Wouldn’t you rather have another dog?”

Deacon: Deacon rubbed his hands together and looked at Sole with the mischievous glint in his eyes that always meant he was about to put on a show. “Well, I guess it’s a good a time as any to tell the kid, don’t you think?” Sole asked what he meant, and Deacon turned to Shaun with a beaming smile. “I’m pregnant! Congrats, Shaun. You’re getting an alien sibling! Just last week when I was being probed aboard the mothership...” Shaun and Sole bust out laughing, and Deacon’s story was drowned out by their noise.

Hancock: The ghoul shook his head with a cool, even smile. “Ghouls can’t have their own kids, Shaun. But if you ask Santa for a puppy, I think he can make it work.” Hancock desperately hoped Shaun hadn’t heard all the barking last night when he and Sole tried to sneak a dog through Sanctuary.

MacCready: “Well, when Duncan is feeling better, he can make a trip to come visit the Commonwealth. How does that sound?” MacCready knew Shaun wanted a baby sibling, but neither he nor Sole were ready for another mouth to feed when they still didn’t have both their boys home safely.

Preston: “Oh, like a baby brother or sister?” Preston’s face was flushed an adorable shade of deep crimson. “I don’t think, uh... Sole and I have discussed that yet.” Shaun assured Preston that he shouldn’t worry: Santa could make miracles happen.

Piper: “Oh, Shaun. I don’t think so.” Piper tried to explain that he and Nat were already a handful, but Shaun wouldn’t hear it. “Babies cry, kid. All they do is eat and sleep and poop. Are you ready to change all those dirty diapers?” Piper chuckled when Shaun crinkled his nose. “Didn’t think so.”

Nick: “The Commonwealth needs an education overhaul if you really think your dad/mom and I can make a baby.” Nick then tried to explain where babies come from, which horrified poor Shaun.

X6-88: “That’s too bad.”

you ever think about how the power dynamic of Father and Sole is weirdly flipped. How he treats you like his child instead of his parent. How he like, orders you to do stuff and basically just sees you as his pawn. Idk its a weird thing and I just think about it sometimes

What if Shaun was a little older when the bombs dropped, say two or three?

Over the years at the institute, he gets snippets of his old life.

Once, it's the smell of Blamco mac n cheese a researcher had for lunch while working with him. It isn’t quite right though, it’s more watery than rich, and it’s staler than he remembered. Even so, he’s filled with the image of pulling on someone’s shirt, asking them for mac and cheese. He doesn’t get the words out quite right, muddling together as they leave his mouth. They laugh gently and pull a pot from a cabinet. He tried to focus on their voice, but as soon as the memory came it was gone again, and it was time for more testing.

Another time, he’s in the robotics division, watching a staff member tinker inside of a synth. It has a glitch in its code, making its pitch and accent off. He sees a posh floating robot that had too many eyes and all the time in the world to watch television with him when his parents were occupied.

As he ages, the memories grow harsher. One night he wakes up in a cold sweat, still shaking with the aftershocks of explosions he can no longer hear. Later, the loudspeakers spread throughout the institute malfunction. For an instant, he instead hears the sounds of people around him on all sides. They talk like they know they’re going to die but there’s a determination to prevent it. He’s held in his parent’s arms, words of comfort soothing him all the while. It was more than any of the others got.

Shaun stands in front of a mirror, tracing every feature of his face. In this moment he wishes more than anything to know which feature he got from which parent. He closes his eyes and pretends to know what they look like. For all the glances he’s gotten into his life before the institute, the faces of his parents were never among them.

Shaun, about Duncan: Today my little brother (he's six) put a seashell to his ear and told me the ocean said I'm a nerd.

Kellog would have made a way more interesting character if we had interacted with him more. The main problem with Kellog in the original Fallout 4 story is that they only tried to make us care after he was dead. No one in the world seems to care either. So here’s how I would change that.

Like in my original re-write of the Fallout 4 main story your character would have amnesia. So you won’t know that Kellog killed your spouse and took your baby. You’ll only learn this later when using the Memory Den for the second time. So you’ll come across Kellog in Concord surrounded by dead raiders. When you enter the conversation with him he’ll subtly hint that he knows you. But he realizes you don’t recognize him. He’ll tell you about the raiders that locked themselves in the museum  in fear after they tried to kill him. The player will probably think nothing of it because their just raiders after all. But even this little interaction has consequences later in showing what kind of man Kellog is. Spoiler alert those seemly random raiders are members of the Rail Road. For now whatever you decide Kellog will then point you to Diamond City.

When you reach Diamond City it will play like normal. Piper and the Mayor will have their interaction. However the mayor will refuse to let you in. But then Kellog shows up and he’ll tell the mayor to let you and Piper in. The will Mayor happily agree without a second thought. It’s from this interaction you should get the feeling that Kellog’s word is law in Diamond City.  And Piper will also get suspicious and call Kellog out on this. But Kellog nonchalantly will dismiss Piper’s claims. He will then turn to the player and tell them to come talk to him if they want to get to know the city. Kellog will tell you that Diamond City is highly safe. Like a sheep pen with a pack of wolves hiding in it. Are you a mindless sheep? The player can admit that they don’t know who they are and Kellog will point you to Nick Valentine agency.

After freeing Nick and he will suggest using The Memory Den to help you remember. It is revealed that you lived in pre-war, had a spouse and baby. The memory den will glitch and you’ll see Kellog’s face as he was standing in front of your cryo pod. You won’t see him kill your spouse yet but that will be confirmed later when viewing his memories. Right now there should be this feeling of betrayal that the guy who has been so helpful to you had something to do with your dead spouse and missing baby. You need to find him and ask him what he had to do with the vault and your family. So you’ll got to Kellog’s house, break in but he’s not there. He left a message on a holotape telling you to not come find him. But you need answers so you’ll track him down anyway. And before you fight he’ll ask what you expect to find. Maybe the answers you’re searching for won’t have an out come you’ll like. Have you considered that you’re son will not want anything to do with you? Are you willing to continue this path? Of course you are. Shaun is your son and you want him back no matter what it takes. To this Kellog will chuckle and admit that he actually likes you. He will tell you that if you want answers then kill him and take the chip from his head.

Once you take the chip to The Memory Den you will see that Kellog had a family he wanted to protect but someone took them from him. He tracks down the people who wronged him. While on his path for revenge he became cruel. Nothing got in his way. But even after he got revenge he was empty. It’s then he’s approached by the Institute due to his reputation of getting things done no matter what. Kellog only takes the job because the pay is great.  We then see Kellog kill your spouse and take your baby. It was all just business to him. As he looks in your cryo pod he thinks that he should kill you. He knows what a monster a person can become when they have family ripped away. But he doesn’t kill you because he wouldn’t get paid. It’s just business after all. The turning point of memory is when you see a young Shaun. Kellog will say that he loves the boy like he was his own. It hurts to look at him knowing what he’s done. He thinks that one day he’ll tell the kid what he’s done. But for now whatever the kid wants he’ll do it. The final memory is Kellog talking to X6-88 who told Kellog that Father wants him to track down Virgil. Leaving Virgil alive will cause problems in the future because of what he knows. Now the player knows to go find Virgil to get to the Institute. You’ll find who ever this Father is and make them pay for what they did to your family.

When you do get to The Institute and talk with Shaun he’ll admit that he’s the leader and the one who he released you. Maybe because some part of him felt like he owed you because you are his parent. But he now regrets it because even after what Kellog did he didn’t think he deserved  to die. After all Kellog was like a father to him and did what he asked without question. But since you’re his real parent he will give you a chance to see what the Institute is all about.

As you go about the Institute you’ll get the vibe that Kellog was feared but respected. He was brutal in his methods but it made the goals of the Institute of  possible. He trained a lot of the coursers and it’s why they are so dangerous. X6-88 will admit that he hated you because you killed someone who he highly respected. As you earn Shaun’s trust by doing jobs for the Institute the people will come to fear and respect you like Kellog did. And in a way you’ll mirror Kellog’s journey. He had someone take his family away, went out for revenge and by the end did horrible things because he cared for Shaun like he was his own.

What does it say about your character if you kill your own son? The son who The Institute took and brainwashed. The only love he got was from the man who took him from his real family. Only for him to release you and kill his father figure and destroy the place that he was brainwashed to believe he was making better for mankind. That’s the real impact Kellog should have had on the story.

I had a dream about a drunk Shaun that goes around the Institute rambling an trying to end his life in a comically ineffective way (like jumping from a chair and pretending that's a fatal fall or lying on the floor waiting for a someone to throw him in the incinerator as he's garbage) and telling the Sole Survivor that the Institute has to die with him and that's why he made you the director.

This whole scene is while he wanders around the hallways and people are purposefully avoiding him or ignoring him and you're trying to drag him back to bed and i think i am up to something, i would genuinely like a quest like that or a fanfiction with that theme

'capped her kid' yowch

ok time to cheer everyone up~

companions react to sole and shaun making them breakfast in bed?

they deserve a good day off.

Cait: Cait wasn’t the kind of gal to get sentimental, but there was something about Shaun standing at the end of her bed with his wide smile and hands clutching a plate of pancakes that made her melt. “Is all this for me?” Cait greedily snatched the food from Shaun, and he gave a boyish giggle. “Shaun, be a dear and grab me a beer and this breakfast is perfect.”

Codsworth: Codsworth didn’t have a designated sleeping area, but that didn’t stop Shaun and Sole from buying his favorite motor oil as a gift for after he was done recharging. “Goodness! I thought I was the one supposed to give you both breakfast in bed.” His mechanical eyes blinked away phantom tears. “I will endeavor to make the most of this motor oil by using it to fuel a deep-clean of the house.”

Curie: Curie was sure that the Sugar Bombs cereal, whipped creamed pancakes and cherry Nuka Cola wasn’t exactly a nutritious meal, but she ignored her impulse to lecture Shaun about the food pyramid when she saw how eager he was for her to try his breakfast. “Did Sole let you flip the pancakes?” she asked. Shaun nodded enthusiastically. “That is my favorite part as well.”

Danse: Danse was used to unseasoned slop heaped onto a metal tray in the Prydwyn canteen. He wasn’t sure how to react when Shaun and Sole handed him a plate of waffles covered in candy and whipped cream; apparently Shaun’s favorite treat on Sunday mornings. He had endearingly helped Sole make an extra plate. “Thank you for the subsidence, Shaun.” Danse paused. “And the future toothache.”

Deacon: Deacon knew he was being cheekier than usual, but it was more fun to play an entitled brat than boringly accept Shaun and Sole’s breakfast. He leaned back on his pillows, folding his hands behind his head and stretching against the mattress. “Ah, finally! Shaunsworth, Soleington. You’re late with my breakfast.” Shaun laughed while Sole rolled their eyes. “This is coming straight out of your trust fund. I mean salary. I can’t remember which is which because I am a busy and rich businessman late for five meetings and a stock market.”

Hancock: “This all for me?” Hancock’s grin stretched across his leathery face as he took in all the colorful breakfast items Shaun and Sole had whipped up. There was a little bit of everything and sprinkled with candy, which was no doubt Shaun’s request. “Now this is a meal fit for a mayor.”

MacCready: Mac couldn’t help but tear up as little Shaun sat on the edge of his bed with a plate of pancakes. It reminded him of when Lucy helped Duncan make a breakfast of their own. “Aw, Shaun. You shouldn’t have.” When Shaun added that Sole had also helped, MacCready wiped tears on the back of his sleeve.

Preston: “The most important meal of the day!” Preston wasn’t sure what else to say at Shaun and Sole’s hospitality. He was always the one making food for settlers. No one had ever done the same for him since he was a kid. “I need the fuel for a run later today. Thanks for thinking of me, Shaun.”

Piper: “Gimmiegimmiegimmie!” Piper grabbed towards the tray of breakfast like an eager child, and Shaun laughed as he cautiously handed it to her. “What’d you make me, Shaun? Sugar Bombs casserole? Mirelurk steak?” She looked at the fluffy pancakes with a smiley-face drawn in whipped cream and smiled. “Aw, I didn’t know you knew how to draw my picture.”

Nick: Shaun was so excited to show Nick his breakfast that the synth didn’t have the guts to tell him that he couldn’t eat. “Real kind of you, Shaun.” Then Nick side-eyed Sole, and they knew Nick expected them to eat it for him to keep up the charade.

X6-88: X6 wasn’t used to anyone making him food as much as he wasn’t used to an enthusiastic little boy bouncing at the end of his bed. Shaun held up the plate of breakfast with a wide smile and expectant expression. “This is for me?” X6 glanced nervously at Sole. “I prefer more protein, but...” He took the plate of sugary food from Shaun and shrugged. “This will do. Thank you, Shaun.”
