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

[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.

[ersatzeverything]

[Deacon watches their exchange with glee.]

Hey, waiter? Can I get some service down here?

[capcious]

[Zetta can't help but laugh. God, she loves him.] Maybe if you promise me a good tip.

[ersatzeverything]

I can promise you a tip all right. And a shaft and balls and the whole package.

[capcious]

Mmmm, you've convinced me. [And took that exactly where she thought he would. She dips her head down to lick a long stripe from that tip down that shaft and to those balls.] How soon do I get it?

[ersatzeverything]

[He really really wants to say "right now" he wants to say that so bad but that's not the game. And there's an obvious answer that he can't pass up.]

After I've finished eating.

[And he cranes his head up so he can press his tongue firmly against her clit and swirl in circles around it.]

[capcious]

[Jesus christ, this stupid joke is terrible and going on too long -- ] Oh, god. [... but, hey, she's benefiting from it, so she doesn't really mind.]

[reformedcriminal]

I thought you'd never bloody stop.

[Only Deacon getting his mouth busy with something else saved Ferran from more of the inane humor.

He reaches around Riley and wraps his fingers around his cock and starts slowly stroking.]

[inhonorof]

[Even such a simple touch has Riley moaning and rocking his hips. He wishes Zetta was close enough for him to kiss her. But she's just out of reach, and it's driving him a little crazy. He reaches out for her, anyway, to cup the side of her neck, needing to at least touch her. Her eyes flutter.] God, you're beautiful. You're so beautiful.

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran crawls on his hands and knees until he's in front of Riley. He kisses his inner thigh as he continues to stroke him.]

[inhonorof]

[Ferran's movement draws his attention down, and he shifts to give him the room he wants. Then the kiss, which sends a shiver right down his back, and he whimpers. Feels good, but not enough. He tries rocking into Ferran's hand faster than he's been stroking.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran moves his kiss higher, right at the base of Riley's shaft and speeds up his hand.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley outright whines. Ferran's mouth -- his mouth -- finally, more, but he's still wanting... he still wants even more -- A hand drops to Ferran's hair.] Oh, god, please, Ferran, please.

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran's lips curl in a smirk where they're pressed against Riley's skin.]

Tell me when you're about to come. Remember, you're supposed to come on Zetta and Deacon.

[And with that stipulation, he takes the head of Riley's cock into his mouth and slides down.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley moans, loud, and it takes all his effort not to immediately buck into Ferran's mouth. His fingers grip his hair unthinkingly. Zetta groans, too, and he opens his eyes (not having realized he'd closed them in the first place). She's close again, he can tell by the furrow in her brow, the tightness of her jaw. Her eyes are riveted on his face, and it makes him realize her groan was in reaction to watching him. His hips jerk on their own at the thought.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran takes it easily, squeezes Riley's hip to encourage him to keep going, thrust as much as he wants.

On the bed, Deacon is working on Zetta, rubbing his tongue firmly over her.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley can't resist Ferran's urging. It just feels so good, and Zetta looks amazing, and he... he...] Oh god, oh god, oh god. Fuck, [Zetta swears suddenly, and Riley has just enough presence of mind to be surprised she can manage words, since she otherwise seemed past that point, but her body is going taught and he's watching her come again and he whines, low and soft. Lucky lucky lucky.]

[ersatzeverything]

[Deacon gives Zetta a few last gentle licks, running his hands over her legs. Then he grins.]

You can have your tip now.

[He's totally not given up on that dumb running joke.]
