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

[For Zay, meanwhile, it is a monumental task to not start rocking on Nathan's cock. Fuckfuckfuck. In a desperate attempt to keep himself from doing that, he drags his palm along the underside of his cock. Unfortunately, that just draws out of him a rather pathetic noise. Damn.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Nathan lets himself push back against Ferran as he slides in. His cock pulls almost all the way out of Zay, and then, when Ferran starts to thrust, he's slammed back in.]

[recalcitrare]

Fuck, [Zay cries, head dropping back as Nathan is thrust back into him, hard, and it's all he can do not to come right then and there. But he forces himself to open his eyes again. He wants to see Nathan's face, wants to watch him as he gets to have it all, wants him to have everything. ... just as much as Zay wants to keep going. He allows himself to buck this time, and he moans.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Ferran leans over Nathan's shoulder, whispering in his ear about how he's pleased that Nathan is upholding justice. Ferran's soft, smokey voice is perfect for the Shroud. Nathan knows it's all a bit ridiculous, but his id is lapping it up.

Underneath him, Zay looks undone, and Nathan is proud that he can make Zay make those noises. With Zay around him and Ferran in him, he whimpers a little with each movement, biting his bottom lip like he might be able to hold the sounds in.]

[recalcitrare]

[Zay can't hear what Ferran's saying to Nathan, but he's loving the reactions it's getting out of him. He reaches up to drag his fingers through Nathan's hair on the side opposite of the ear Ferran's whispering in, nails dragging.] That's right. [He wishes he could say this as smoothly as he'd like, but he's breathless and it's more difficult to put words together than he wants to show.] Let us hear you, Nate. Let... fuck. [Well, it was nice while it lasted.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Nathan trembles and stops biting back the noise and lets himself moan. Because Zay requested it.]

[recalcitrare]

[Fuck. Zay can't not groan in response. He rubs his thumb across Nathan's cheek, under his eye, a purely affectionate touch, though a clumsy one. But then he reaches past Nathan, to drag his hand through Ferran's hair the same way he did to Nathan.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Ferran leans into Zay's touch and reaches around Nathan to take Nathan's hand and, with their fingers laced, together reach for Zay's cock.]

This is...

[He doesn't have enough breath or coherence of thought to finish the sentence.]

[recalcitrare]

Oh, god, [Zay whimpers as their joined fingers touch him.] Nate... I... I... [With the last bit of his remaining brainpower, he pushes on Nathan's shoulder, trying to shift his angle. Not for himself, but for Nathan, trying to do what he can to encourage the angle where Ferran can more easily hit his prostrate.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Nathan shifts to where he thinks Zay is directing him, although he doesn't know why. Ferran's position changes a little as well in response and--]

Oh fuck...

[His muscles tense and his thrusts become faster.]

Ohgodohgod...

[recalcitrare]

[Zay has just enough time to think, that's it, before Nathan speeds up and ruins that last bit of thought power evaporates.] Aaahhh -- [He can't help the noises escaping him now. It's all he can do to try and match Nathan's pace, his back arching, eyes sliding closed despite himself. He just -- He can't -- ]

[timesbureaucrat]

I'm--I'm going to--

[Nathan pants out a warning, then his hips jerk out of his control and his eyes squeeze shut as he comes for the second time in as many hours.]

[recalcitrare]

[Zay feels Nathan begin to come inside him, and the thought -- just the thought -- is the last straw for him, too. His trembling legs press against Nathan's hips as his come splatters across Ferran and Nathan's hands and his own stomach.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Ferran slows his own thrusts as Nathan comes, drawing out the orgasm without over-stimulating, and pulls out when Nathan's finished.

Nathan dives down to kiss Zay and drags his palm over Zay's stomach, smearing come across his skin.]

[recalcitrare]

[Zay immediately opens his mouth to him despite his breathlessness, moanly softly into the kiss and raking his fingers through Nathan's hair.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran waits patiently, stroking himself as he watches Nathan and Zay kiss. They really are enamored with each other.]

When you're finished, I want to come inside you, Zay. Like Nathan did.

[recalcitrare]

[A shiver goes right down Zay's spine, and he makes a low noise into the kiss. Right now, all considerations of later are far, far from his mind. "The future Director has come on my boyfriend's face and I've had both of their come inside me" -- Doesn't matter. Right now, the thought of it makes him nip desperately at Nathan's lower lip, then open his mouth to him again as if that's somehow asking for permission. But even in this moment, he's a little surprised by how much he wants that.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Nathan feels like he ought to feel threatened but he doesn't. (He's confident that Zay likes him best.) Instead the idea of kissing Zay while Ferran fucks him spreads a warmth through his chest. He kisses Zay deep and wet and then draws away.]

I'm going to pull out. [He tells Zay and then follows the warning with action. He moves out from between Zay's legs to give Ferran room and climbs up on the bed so he's sitting by Zay's head.]

[recalcitrare]

[Zay acknowledges Nathan's warning with a nod.] Yes, alright.

[But now with his mind having more thinking capability, he finds himself slightly nervous, though he can't pinpoint why. Perhaps it's how unorthodox the situation is, how against the norm this is in the Institute. But it's hardly as though he cares about those things.

And it isn't as though he's stopped wanting it.

Zay reaches up to brush his palm against Nathan, wherever he happens to reach, seeking the point of familiar contact to settle his nerves.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Nathan bends down to begin kissing Zay again while Ferran moves into position. He smooths his hands over Zay's collarbones as Ferran slowly pushes in.]

[recalcitrare]

[Mmmm, better. Zay's eyes lull closed as Nathan starts kissing him, and he starts to relax again. He's relishing in the touch of Nathan's hands as he feels Ferran press his cock against his entrance, and his breath hitches, and he starts to push more into the kiss with Nathan. And then Ferran is pushing in and god, he just came but that feels good. He can't say he's been fucked after he already came before. He slowly curls a leg around Ferran's hip to encourage him.]

[reformedcriminal]

[Ferran keeps his motions slow and steady. He's been on the edge for a while now and it's not going to take much now that he's not holding himself back from coming.]

[recalcitrare]

[A low, quiet moan is dragged out of Zay. It isn't long before he starts rocking with Ferran's movements. Fuck... If they were doing anything with his cock, it'd be too much, but this -- this feels... He wants Nathan to feel this. Needs to do this for him sometime.]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Nathan kisses and nuzzles Zay softly while Ferran continues his steady thrusts. And when Ferran comes, it's almost gentle. Joining them in their afterglow without disrupting it.]

[recalcitrare]

[It surprises Zay -- was expecting him to come harder, more desperate, after everything, after being the last one. In the midst of his drinking up of Nathan's affection, Zay reaches to smooth his hand over Ferran's stomach, touch soft.]
