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

I -- [Zetta cries out and her body goes taut as she comes, and instead of finishing his sentence, Riley whimpers. Ferran's teasing really isn't helping.] They're amazing, [he manages, stuttering.]

[reformedcriminal]

Hmm.

[Ferran hums in agreement and rolls his hips back against Riley again.]

So, would you rather come in me or on them?

[inhonorof]

[Oh, god.] I don't -- I don't know... That -- [Wait.] You... You already came, I don't want it to be -- too much for you.

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran chuckles. Riley's concern for him is sweet. Naive, but sweet. He's not used to men caring the way Riley cares. He turns around in Riley's arms and holds his hips in his hands.]

All right. Then you'll come on them.

[inhonorof]

[Riley has to resist kissing him the very moment he turns. But Ferran is speaking, and he doesn't want to interrupt -- But Riley ends up kissing him right after he finishes, anyway, because he just... he can't not.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran savors the kiss and runs his hands around Riley's back. Step by step he backs up towards the bed, pulling Riley along.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley follows mindlessly, chasing the kiss, wanting to stay close to Ferran.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Once they're close enough to the bed, Ferran breaks the kiss and pivots them so Riley is back against the bed.]

Turn around so they can see you.

[inhonorof]

[Maybe he should be embarrassed how much his mood has already turned around. In the other room, he'd taken control -- a rare mood, but he... he couldn't help it. After what Ferran said... But, now, as Ferran directs him, he's so eager for it that a shiver runs down his spine. He turns as told -- though his eagerness doesn't save him from still being a little embarrassed about the reason why Ferran wants him to.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran starts by sliding his hands under Riley's shirt and kissing his throat.

Deacon watches from the corner of his eye, torn between turning his head so he can see them more clearly, or getting back to Zetta to see if he can make her come a second time.

Life's super full of tough choices.]

[capcious]

[Zetta finally has a chance to breathe, and once she feels she's recovered enough, she asks,] What's your plan, gorgeous?

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran nuzzles Riley's jaw as he answers Zetta.]

My plan is to drive Riley crazy by any means necessary until he comes on you and Deacon. How much the two of you want to help in this endeavor is up to you.

[capcious]

[Riley shivers again and makes another soft sound.] Why is that always what you guys do? Because you make it too much fun, obviously. [To Deacon, she says,] What do you want to do, darling?

[ersatzeverything]

I want to get off too. But I'll totally suck Riley if you want.

[capcious]

[Zetta laughs at him, and takes his neglected cock in hand to stroke a couple of times.] Well, yes. We're not going to make you get us off and not return the favor, love. But how involved with Riley do you want to be? [Not what she wants, or they want; what he wants.] If you'd rather us carry on our game, and ignore them, we can. Or if you'd rather switch focus to Riley, you're welcome to that, too.

[ersatzeverything]

...I want you to keep doing that.

[It still feels strange to say what he wants instead of offering up whatever they want. But for now, just watching Ferran and Riley and hording Zetta's attention sounds pretty good.]

[capcious]

[Zetta's expression softens at the edges, even as she grins. Her eyes flick up to Ferran.] Carry on, then, gorgeous. [She keeps stroking Deacon, slow and luxurious for a moment, then leans down to swirl her tongue over the head, maintaining the movement of her hand.]

[ersatzeverything]

[Deacon groans and reaches down to bury his fingers in Zetta's curly hair.

Above the bed, Ferran unbuttons Riley's pants and dips his hand inside.]

[inhonorof]

[Zetta shifts her position so Riley can have a good, clear view of what she's doing to Deacon, and he has just enough presence of mind to notice that right as Ferran is reaching in to touch him. He whines softly and rocks his hips to meet Ferran's hand. His own hands rest against the bed, and his fingers twitch against the blankets.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran fondles him gently for a few seconds, just long enough to make an impression, then pulls his hand out of Riley's pants so he can push them down around Riley's ankles. He wants Zetta and Deacon to have as much of a show as Riley's getting right now.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley makes a quiet noise of complaint as Ferran draws his hand away, but then he's working on undressing him, and he can't really complain about that. Maybe he might've felt a little exposed if he wasn't so worked up, but -- instead, it just brings to mind Deacon and Zetta's attention on him, and his cock twitches.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Behind Riley, Ferran nips and kisses down his back, slowly sinking to his knees. His hands rest on Riley's hips as he bites his right arse cheek.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley's breath stutters as he feels Ferran trail lower and lower. What is he planning? he starts to wonder, but then comes that last bite, and he makes a small high-pitched sound in surprise. Zetta has to pause and take her mouth off of Deacon so she can safely laugh.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran smirks at Riley's reaction and licks over the spot he'd bitten while he reaches between Riley's legs to stroke his balls.]

[capcious]

[Zetta gets to watch as Riley's surprise melts away back into neediness. He tilts his hips back towards Ferran, his feet sliding further apart to give him better access -- more room to play. She can't resist teasing him.] Mmmm, you look good. Too bad Deacon got his reservation in first, huh? "Reservation," [Riley repeats with a huff of a laugh.] I don't know, it's more like you went to a different table because the other one was taken. [She grins.] Same difference, at this point.
