Who: the Fallout AU crew
Setting: the Commonwealth
Summary: BoS things, institute things
Warnings: Fallout warnings, smut
Other: [original notes] [first post] [second post] [third post] [fourth post] [fifth post] [sixth post] [seventh post] [eighth post]

- minor timeskip to when the BoS has its feet under it again, shaun asks riley to go up and keep an eye on them and deacon goes with
- they get assigned to a BoS squad composed of AU versions of chancellery guards (paladin archimedes o'hallan, knight-captain anthony norris, lancer-sargeant alex reyes, knight riley reynolds, knight everett wynter, knight henry "hal" saller, aspirant 'jack' "deacon" 'priest')
- maybe some minor quests involving getting to know them, gotta get some solid Bonding going
- sarrith (sarah, secret enclave remnant) and sal's romeo and juliet romance
- that one quest where you get the nukes from the glowing sea for the BoS
- wynter's mistake and gradual ghoulification and the position it puts the squad in
- blind betrayal

- shaun announces ferran officially as his successor
- ferran dealing with the short institute quests that result from that
- shaun discovering ferran's a slut and trying to talk to him about it
- zetta freaking out bc they're spending all this time waiting for her to recover and dealing with the BoS, and not having the time to try to figure out a way to save shaun
- zetta, in general, driving shaun slowly up the wall because she's cooped up and needs to be kept occupied or else Bad Things Start Happening, why is this shaun's life, this was not what he was expecting at all
- ferran going on missions with x6-88 / house divided, warwick
- nathan and zay's one night stand with ferran becoming not a one night stand any more
- at some point we need to have nathan call deacon a mongrel to his face so zetta can go positively nuclear
- zay finding out nathan is taking buffout

- build towards the railroad and institute being on better terms (not *stable*, but they need to be in a position where they're willing to make an alliance at the battle for bunker hill and afterwards to take the BoS down)
- probably need to do a meeting with dez and carrington, bc jfc (and ferran being the next director makes it easier to make negotiations on the institute's behalf though shaun probably doesnt fully trust him with that wrt the railroad yet, shaun needs to see ferran make decisions that benefit the institute OVER the railroad for that)

- mass fusion happens before battle for bunker hill, lighting a fire under the brotherhood's ass (still use it as the faction cut-off point?)
- at the battle, brotherhood wins -- keeping them a legitimate threat and serving as the push for the institute and railroad to work together against them

well, oh, it seems you're a lot like me
you dug yourself into places you never thought you would be
but don't you fret, and don't you mind
the only constant is change,
and you never know what you'll find

yeah, tomorrow i might wake up nice and clean
and i might believe the things i said i didn't mean
and this might turn and wind up just the way we'd dreamed
and i might become the things i swore i'd always be

[Oh, god, the look on Ferran's face, that sound he's making -- Riley can't think any more. He whines, too, and moves in to kiss Ferran again, mouth open and incredibly clumsy. He has no way of knowing that Zetta is sliding her fingers out of Ferran as he does.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran's mouth opens in a moan as Zetta removes her fingers, the sound muffled a moment later as he mashes his lips against Riley.

As they kiss he shuffles closer, chest to chest with Riley, and wonders if Zetta would think to hold Riley in place while he sinks down onto his cock, because Ferran doesn't want to stop kissing Riley in order to ask her, and doesn't want to move his hands from where they're wandering over Riley's shoulders and neck to hold him himself.

Telepathy would come in handy about now.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley kisses Ferran like he needs it to live. He drops both of his hands to Ferran's hips, gripping, trying to pull him down, trying to -- to -- Zetta doesn't get a chance to read Ferran's mind, because Riley is using one of his own hands to steady his cock, almost fumbling at first.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Good enough. Ferran sinks down until the head of Riley's cock is fully seated inside him and then waits for Riley to get his hand out of the way. Ferran wants to be able to take in all of him.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley's eyes squeeze closed as finally finally finally -- He breaks the kiss as he gasps for breath, but he's almost immediately kissing him again, messily and desperately capturing Ferran's lower lip. Ferran doesn't have to wait long; Riley's hand is already moving, up to grip his other hip, too, and he also doesn't have to wait to have all of him, because Riley's also bucking up into him the rest of the way.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran's chin tilts back and he groans and writhes as Riley thrusts up into him fully.]

Fuck, you're perfect.

[He rolls his hips impatiently.]

[inhonorof]

You feel -- You feel so -- [Riley doesn't stop thrusting, is already starting hard and fast. He wouldn't normally start this way, but, with how riled he is, he... can't entirely help himself, not right now. Finally finally finally -- ]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran loves it. Riley wanting him, desperate. His breath hitches with each thrust.]

God...yes...fuck...just like that...

[inhonorof]

[It's a good thing Ferran wants this, wants what Riley's doing, because he doesn't know if he'd be able to stop.] I love -- I love... I love -- I love you -- I love you so much --

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran's heard a lot of people say those words, but it's different when it's someone whom he loves back. He tilts his head for a messy kiss, his hands in Riley's hair.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley moans loudly into Ferran's mouth, and he -- He's so close. He's so close, and he knew he wasn't going to last long, but he doesn't want Ferran to be disappointed. So he lets go of one of Ferran's hips to reach for his cock instead and start pumping.]

[reformedcriminal]

[At Riley's touch, Ferran starts pushing into Riley's hand and back onto his cock with every urgent motion of his hips. He's been hard for what feels like ages and he's ready to let go.

A few muffled whimpers slip out as he rides right on the edge...and then he's gone, pulsing out cum on Riley's chest and hand.]

[inhonorof]

[Oh -- It was enough, it was enough for him to come, he was this close, too. Riley can come now, too, he doesn't have to feel bad. He can feel Ferran coming, feel him tighten around him, and he's gone. Riley is coming, and hard, breaking the kiss with a choked off gasp. Ohgod ohgod ohgod...]

[ersatzeverything]

[Deacon applauds enthusiastically as they finish.]

Wow. That was, like, Oscar-worthy performance. Bra-fucking-vo. I'd say "encore" as well but I'd have to wait at least a couple hours.

[inhonorof]

[It takes a moment for Deacon's words to filter into Riley's mind... and once they do, he immediately blushes, and deeply. He burrows his face against -- hides in -- Ferran's neck. He hears Zetta laugh.] Best actors, for sure.

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran smirks and cups the back of Riley's head.]

It would have to be filmed to be eligible for an Oscar.

[capcious]

[And now Riley is thinking about the holovid they made for Deacon, and that is so not helping his blush. Zetta hums thoughtfully.] We really should record another one.

[ersatzeverything]

Can I be the director? I wanna boss everyone around next time.

[And be behind the camera instead of in front of it.]

[capcious]

[Something sharpens and brightens behind Zetta's eyes.] Absolutely, darling.
