What would be their reaction to sole survivor's obsession with collecting stuffed animals? (Like the teddies or sloths.) Especially if they insisted some of the stuffed animals be in bed with them while they sleep. (If they are romantic partners)
Thank you for requesting!
Cait:
Cait will get annoyed fast, whether Sole is actively looking for them or just picking them up as they see them, it is both a waste of time and space in their backpacks to be carrying around anything that isn’t food, ammo or weapons. Her reaction therefore will be largely the same as when you pick up junk, and she’ll refuse to carry anything Sole handed them if the stuffed animals are the only reason Sole can’t carry it themselves.
Taking them to bed: No focking way. She’ll kick them out at first, but if Sole is persistent in putting them back, she might end up liking the extra softness – not that she’ll admit it.
Codsworth:
Codsworth won’t blink an eye at first, but as he notices the stuffed animals keep piling up and their living space is becoming a mess, he’ll carefully try to ask Sole what they are for. When Sole looks him dead in the eyes without saying anything in response, he’ll awkwardly back off with a fake hearty laugh.
Curie:
“You already picked up that same one before, no? Is there some sort of reward for collecting them?” Curie will ask all excitedly. When you tell her that the stuffed animals somehow comfort you, she’ll back off a bit. There’s something about you that tells her you’re not quite ready to talk about it yet.
Taking them to bed: “Oh, this is very uncomfortable. How can you sleep like this?” The need for sleep is still new to Curie. It took her a while to get used to lying still in bed trying to drift off and it’s still not easy for her, so the random stuffed animals poking her from all sides don’t help. She’ll try to shove them your way, but always somehow misses one.
Danse:
“Sole, this is an absolute waste of space! Get rid of them, at once!”
“No,” Sole would growl back.
“That’s an order, soldier!”
“Take your order and shove it! This isn’t military business, Danse, this is personal!”
Though he doesn’t understand what you mean exactly, Danse will be a bit more lenient with you, sometimes even going as far as letting you collect them without a single complaint. It was rare though.
Taking them to bed: “Is this really necessary?” When you tell him it absolutely is, he’ll sigh but leave it be, only getting really annoyed if they come in between you two when he’s trying to snuggle up to you.
Deacon:
“Oh sure, when you wanna pick up teddy bears it’s okay, but when I pick something up it’s ‘useless’ and a ‘waste of space’.”
“You were picking up human skulls!”
“Hey, I had plans for those.”
Taking them to bed: Deacon won’t complain, but the moment you’re fast asleep, he’ll throw them all out and pretend to be sleeping like a little angel. If you wake up and ask him where your teddy bears are, he’ll just innocently roll into you and wrap his arms around you. “I’m right here.”
“Not what I meant, Deacon.”
“And yet, you suddenly realize that I am, in fact, the only teddy bear you’ll ever need.”
You scoff but wrap your arms around him as well. “You’re the worst.”
Gage:
Have you ever seen someone who’s just absolutely done with life? Yeah, that’s Gage the fifth time he’ll find you down in Nuka-World’s arcade instead of clearing out the park with him.
“For the love of- Boss! We need to talk.” Oh, he is pissed.
“Later, Gage, I’m-”
“Nothing later,” he’ll say and grab your arm, roughly spinning you away from the machine so you’re looking at him. “My life depends on how well you do as Overboss, so get your shit together already!”
Taking them to bed: No. Plain and simple, it just isn’t happening. It would make him look soft and he can’t have that. If you insist, he’ll threaten you with some form of punishment like sleeping separately, no sex, or whatever he knows will affect you.
Hancock:
Hancock is easily the most patient with you (besides Curie, of course). The first few times, he doesn’t think anything of it. When it happens more frequently, he starts to get worried but doesn’t say anything to you at the moment. Only when you get back to the Old State House does he carefully bring it up.
“So, Sunshine, wanna tell me what the story is behind these?”
Taking them to bed: Sure, as long as it doesn’t hinder his ability to cuddle you to sleep.
Longfellow:
He’ll comment on its uselessness as most other companions do, but you know Longfellow is almost permanently drunk, so you take advantage of his lowered state of alertness to pick up the stuffed animals without him noticing. He’ll eventually find out when he tries to share some rations with you, only for them to spill out of your backpack when you try to store the food away. The instant look of disappointment is hard to miss as Longfellow wonders what it was about you again that made him sign up to be your guide.
MacCready:
“Uh, are you sure, boss? Okay…”
You are paying him so he kind of has to just let this go, right? He thinks it’s weird for sure, but it’s also not his place to comment on it. Once you two are closer and the deal with Barnes and Winlock is over, he’ll grow annoyed a lot faster.
“Oh come on, leave it! It’s useless!”
He’ll be annoyed if you don’t listen to him, but there’s nothing much he can do. He will refuse to carry them himself though - unless you pay him to.
Taking them to bed: He’ll complain nonstop. “Is this really necessary?” “Ugh, they’re poking me from all sides!” “How can you sleep like this?” You might have to get rid of the teddy bears just so he’ll shut up, and only then will he notice that he actually liked having them around.
Nick:
Big sigh. “Kid, I swear, the more I travel with you, the more I wonder how the hell you’ve lasted this long out here.” And he’ll make snarky remarks. “You know, kid, we’d move a lot faster if we didn’t have to stop every 20 meters.” “How many until you’re satisfied? I’ll keep count so I know when the suffering can end.”
Taking them to bed: Nick doesn’t sleep. Sometimes he lies down with you if you want him to and having the stuffed animals there won’t change that, though he might complain about them like a grumpy old man.
Piper:
“Priorities, Blue! Ugh!”
She’ll comment on it a few times. If it keeps happening, she’ll stop you and try to talk to you about it. Whether you share your reason with her or not is up to you, but if you don’t, she’ll make a lot more comments, trying to make you slip up and tell her something.
“You know, if we die here, I’d love to see the face of the poor wastelander who ends up finding our corpses. How will they give meaning to the mystery that is the bag full of teddy bears? What do you think, Blue?”
Taking them to bed: She doesn’t really want it, but she won’t complain as much as the others. Most of the time, she’ll like having the extra softness around, but other times she just wants to snuggle up to you and if the stuffed animals get in the way, they’ll have to go.
Preston:
Preston doesn’t understand what you’re trying to achieve with it and he’ll try to carefully breach the topic with you. “That’s a lot of stuffed animals, General. Are you planning something?”
Taking them to bed: He’ll toss and turn, getting annoyed at the teddy bears constantly getting in the way, but will wake up the next morning with one or more wrapped tightly in his arms. Maybe he could get used to this after all.
Strong:
“Human stop!! No more soft things!!” Strong shouts angrily at you after already telling you three times over(!!) that he wants to see no more soft things!
“Shut up, you dumb green brute! What do you know?!” Sole yells back in frustration.
“Bah!” Strong proclaims loudly and leaves your company.
X6-88:
Says nothing, but reports back to Father that you are too unstable to become the next director.
Taking them to bed: Same as with Nick. He doesn’t sleep and only joins you in bed if you ask him to. He’ll start to shove them aside if you tell him to join you, and when you stop him, he’ll make you choose: do you want your bed to be filled with teddy bears or him?

Nora: The Ocean is a soup.
Longfellow:
Longfellow: Do elaborate.
Nora: What are needed for something to be a soup?
Longfellow: Erm… Water, salt, some form of vegetation, and personally I prefer some meat in mine.
Nora: -Tilts head-
Longfellow: The Ocean is a Soup.
Nora: The Ocean is a Soup.

Hands of invisible spirits touch the strings
Of that mysterious instrument, the soul,
And play the prelude of our fate.

The Song of Hiawatha, presentation copy
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1855
By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
by the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest …

The Rainy Day
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Ballads and other Poems (1842)

Companions react to Sole being stuck in a Pulowski Preservation shelter
Found this idea on this prompts list, and I wanted to give it a go. I ended up having so much fun writing this! However, in my reaction Dogmeat doesn’t lead the Companion to Sole, how they find her is a mystery (purely because otherwise Hancock’s and Longfellow’s reactions don’t work).
Cait:
“You’ve gotta be shitting me right now!” you hear Cait’s angry voice from outside the chamber. “How’d you manage to get yourself stuck in there?! Better not be because you were running away from a fight!”
“Help…”
“Just give it a few good kicks!”
Codsworth:
“Sir/Mum!” Codsworth calls out oh so worriedly. “Are you okay in there?! Hold on! I’ll call the firebrigade right away! One of the many virtues of having a mr. Handy around!” he says, laughing with fake cheer. His denial once again of the current state of the world immediately tells you he’s in panic mode.
Curie:
“Madam/Monsieur? Are you in there?”
“Yes, Curie and I’m stuck! Help.”
“Oh no! This is most unfortunate! How do you suggest I start this rescue mission?”
Danse:
Speechless because he’s so disappointed in you.
“Soldier… just….” He sighs and decides it’s not worth it, so instead of wasting more time on words, he silently helps them out and then give them judgmental looks for the rest of the day.
Deacon:
“Hey, I ain’t judging you. These things are great eavesdropping spots, you just gotta pick the right locations. And this one: not so good. Too close to Trinity Tower, unless you can decipher some intelligent code in the Super Mutants grunting. Never was able to myself.”
“That’s great, Deacon. Can you get me out?”
“What? Oh yeah, pull the lever on your left.”
Gage:
“Boss,” he starts but then stops for a second and breathes in deeply before he’d lash out in annoyance and disappointment. How was he supposed to put his faith in you as Overboss if you can’t even figure out how to open the door of a Pulowski Shelter. “How the hell did you get yourself stuck in there? You know what, no, I don’t even wanna know. Just get out before one of the gangs finds out.”
Hancock:
Thinks the drugs are making him hallucinate when he hears your voice but doesn’t see you anywhere.
“The jet will make you jittery,” he mumbles to himself and moves on. Only realizing later that day that you are nowhere to be found and he might not have been hallucinating after all.
Longfellow:
Longfellow is too preoccupied with his drunken sailor songs to even hear your cries. And by the time he gets back to his cabin, he has probably forgotten he was with you at all, so chances are there’d be no rescue for you.
MacCready:
Mac is laughing his ass off. “Oh man! I am never letting this one go.”
“Please laugh after helping-.”
“I mean, how’d you even manage to get stuck in there in the first place?”
“Mac-“
You’ll have to wait a few minutes before he gets serious about helping you get out of there. And even then, he’ll probably get some laughter fits in between every now and then.
Nick:
“Kid, the situations you manage to get yourself into…” he sighs.
“Help me, please.”
“And how do you expect me to do that? I don’t see what you see! I’m sure there’s a lever or a button somewhere.”
Piper:
“Hm, interesting spot to crawl into, Blue. Tell me, what kind of secrets does it hold?” she says teasingly.
“You tell me, I thought I’d seen you hide in one of these once.”
Instantly her teasing tone changes as she feels caught. “Well, y-yeah, but that’s for my job!”
“Yeah, that makes it better, Piper.”
Preston:
“General, why were you in there in the first place?”
“…Recon.”
“Hm. So what did you discover?” Preston says, sounding amused.
Strong:
“Human should not hide!! Human weak!”
“Just get me out already, big guy.”
And he will, by ripping the shelter in two.
X6-88:
“Sir/Ma’am, what were you looking for in there?”
“That’s not important, X6! Just help me get out.”
“I would recommend teleporting back to the Institute, that should solve the issue.”
