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

[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.]

[capcious]

[Christ. As Zetta starts to come back to herself, she realizes her legs are trembling slightly. She hears Riley huff a laugh at the joke. She finds it in herself to roll her eyes, even though Riley is the only one who'll be able to see it.] Mmmm, about time, [is what she says, as if being eaten out for a second time tonight was some great chore she had to endure. She slides away from Deacon's head, but grins down at him before she moves to straddle his hips.] Don't you want a little dessert first? [She tilts her head towards Riley.]

[ersatzeverything]

I would, but Ferran's hogging it all. Greedy asshole.

[He licks his lips as he watches Ferran go down on Riley. His cock twitches and leaks a bead of pre-cum.]

[capcious]

He's hogging the main dish, anyway. I'm sure Riley'd like a taste of what you've had so far. [She taps his lower lip.]

[ersatzeverything]

And unlike some people, I'm totally willing to share.

[Deacon sits up and reaches for Riley's face to bring him down into a messy kiss.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley is opening his mouth to him when Deacon touches his face. He can taste Zetta in his mouth, and he moans lowly into the kiss. Oh, god, he's needed this. His hand that isn't fisted in Ferran's hair lifts to cup the side of Deacon's neck, and he returns the kiss greedily, desperately.]

[ersatzeverything]

[God, this is good. Better than he deserves. But if he says that out loud, Zetta will hit him so he just thinks it to himself and marvels at how lucky he is to have good people like Riley and Zetta. And Ferran, who isn't really good, but is good enough and also hot.]

[capcious]

[Zetta sidles up behind Deacon, pressing her chest against his back and gliding her hands down his sides. Riley's eyes flutter open, but slide closed again when he sees her so near, and she grins, leaning in to kiss behind Deacon's ear.]

[ersatzeverything]

[Deacon whimpers against Riley's mouth and wonders if Zetta's hand will go to his dick if he wishes hard enough.]

[capcious]

[Satisfying. It's utterly satisfying to hear him like this, to see Riley react to that whimper by trying to push harder into the kiss. She slides her hands inward across Deacon's hips, slipping down... brushing into his hair, touching just at the base of his cock.]

[ersatzeverything]

[Yes yes yes wishes do come true. Mostly. Okay, he was hoping for more touching. Enough that he might actually get to come one of these days. But this is heading the right direction.]

[capcious]

[Zetta grips the base of his cock with one hand, and uses the other to rub her fingers up the underside and then circle the tip.]

[ersatzeverything]

[Deacon's eyes squeeze shut and his moans against Riley's lips. He's been waiting for what feels like ages and isn't going to last very long.]
