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

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.]

[capcious]

[She starts stroking in earnest, pressing her lips to his neck again, starting sensuous, but quickly growing into scrapes of teeth. Riley's breath is already starting to stutter. He has to break the kiss for air, but his mouth doesn't truly leave Deacon's. His gasps are coming quick and short.] Ah -- ah, ah -- F-Ferr -- Ferran, I --

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran pulls his mouth off of Riley and starts working him with his hand, fast and steady.]

You can come now, Riley.

[inhonorof]

[Riley moans, long and loud. He can't control the jerk of his hips any more. Just as he's on the verge of coming, he mashes his mouth against Deacon's again. He tips over that edge, and hard, his come splattering against Deacon's stomach.]

[ersatzeverything]

[The combination of being held between Zetta and Riley, and the kiss, and the feel of Riley's come on his stomach sends Deacon crashing into his orgasm. Finally. Some of his cum ends up on Riley. Most of it in Ferran's hair.]

[capcious]

[Good. This wasn't where Zetta expected they'd end, but she loves watching Deacon and Riley cover each other. ... and Ferran, apparently. She resists the urge to snigger. She should let Riley and Deacon come down first. She nuzzles the back of Deacon's head, grinning.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Deacon sighs and leans back against Zetta. Definitely ready for a cuddle and a nap now.

Ferran dabs at the mess in his hair and wrinkles his nose. Not that he doesn't have experience being covered in someone's cum, but when it's in his hair it's annoyingly more difficult to clean up. He's not going to lie down like this.]

I'm going to shower.

[capcious]

[Zetta breaks down into snickers after all, even as she's wrapping her arms around Deacon.] You certainly need it.

[reformedcriminal]

Anyone is welcome to join me.

Riley? [Since Riley got a bit messy, too.

And also because Ferran still likes to keep him close whenever he can.]

[inhonorof]

[Riley glances down at Ferran, and... sees the state of his hair. Oh, wow. He lightly touches the side of his head, a corner of his mouth quirking.] Sure. I can help make sure you get it all out.

[ersatzeverything]

Good.

[Ferran stands up and gently leads Riley towards the shower, a pleased smirk on his face. Not that anything exciting is going to happen in the shower, but he still likes the thought of being able to have his hands all over Riley's body and have Riley's hands on him.

Deacon watches them go then turns his head towards Zetta.]

I'm getting the feeling that Ferran should be telling me "thank you."

[capcious]

[Zetta laughs.] You have a point. Well, it's not like they've gone far. [She raises her voice.] Oh, gorgeous?

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran pauses and looks to Zetta.]

Hm?

[capcious]

[She pats the top of Deacon's head.] Someone wants a thank you.

[reformedcriminal]

Odd, I don't recall him fingering me while giving me a blowie. What am I thanking him for?
