The BOS started as good guys, created to protect survivors of the war and keep dangerous tech from falling into the wrong hands and protect information for future generations. But after the first leader died, those that took over, took the BOS down a more militant route, turning them into tech hording quasi-religious technocratic military order, that avoids outsiders or eliminates them. Their original ideals were good. Preserve advanced technology and regulate its usage. This is because they believe humanity cannot be trusted with the means to destroy itself, and they acquire technology to prevent another apocalypse. But as Maximus says, people have different ideas on how to do that. The BOS we see in the show are like what we see in Fallout 4, mixed with even more militant nature of those from the very early Fallout games. I can see this chapter falling into a very fanatical religious order with the cleric that wants Maximus as his 'sword' trying for dominance over the entire order. Part of me really want to see an older Maxson turn up, as he might well be on the Prydwyn. (Yes it IS the Prydwyn, not the Caswennan, which was a clever double meaning as Caswennan is the sometimes used name for King Arthurs's ship, though the more common name is Prydwyn/Pridwen!. You can even see the ship name in the show if you look closely enough!) I had an ounce of sympathy for Titus when he complained about the elders sending Knights out on stupid errands (echoing the repeating quests you get sent on in Fallout4) But then he starts belittling Maximus, and all that sympathy was gone! if this chapter was how they treated their squires (which was not like they do in the commonwealth, ) then i hope this chapter burns.

just found out a bunch of people on reddit hate maximus for letting titus die meanwhile i was cheering like it was a football game. people say they love neutral karma characters until they get one.

daydreaming about writing: 🥰😍🥹❤️😊🌺✨😘

the act of actually writing: 😭😰😵‍💫😭😰😭☹️😖

Do you ever just start writing and then it's a few thousand words later, and you're just like, 'Where the hell did any of this come from? This was not the plan. Wtf?'

when you are writing an update for a fic for a practically dead fandom.... Hoping the 6 people who subscribed to it , that maybe 1 of them will comment when you post...

But you like the story, want to finish it. It has an OC you care about, want her story told, so you plow on...even if you are writing into the Void.....

Death of Peace of Mind

A new Rokov fic just went live on ao3! It follows Rokov and what he was doing/feeling through Work-Life Balance as well as explores more of his dynamic and relationship with Delgado. It's got angst, it's got hurt & comfort, it's got fluff. It gets spicy. Little bit of everything!

Because of the spice it is rated Explicit. You can find the fic on ao3 by clicking here!

This fic will conclude the Tightrope series and from here on out Bella, Delgado, and Rokov shenanigans will be under a new series coming around at some point :)

a preview below the cut!

Del was approaching, an amber colored drink with ice in hand and his natural vainglorious smile. It was odd seeing him in loud red and orange floral swim trunks with his scars and ink of display instead of his usual garb. A realization that he’d likely never see him wear that Crimson Fleet armor again hit him; the old blue leather armor had been hanging in the master bedroom closet in the party house since the first day three. Rokov grinned back, subtly looking Del up and down with the keen awareness that the family watched from the side.   

“We saved you a seat,” Del said while motioning back at Bella, who watched from the shade in her little black bikini and big black-out sunglasses.  

“You knew he was coming?” Sophie popped up and looked at Del with as scandalized an expression that the five year old could muster, “and you didn’t tell me?”  

Del chuckled and closed the gap, leaning in and nuzzling Sophie, “it was a surprise.”  

“I wanted to know,” Sophie pouted.  

“Lo siento, mi conejita,” Del gave her cheek a kiss and motioned for Rokov to follow him, “come on, the shade will be much kinder on you in those dark colors. Tell me you brought lighter clothes for the rest of the stay.”  

“Sorry to say I did not go clothes shopping before I left,” Rokov said as they joined Bella in the shade. He could feel the eyes of the Delgado clan on him and it made the hair on his neck stand on end.  

“Mi osito, you’ll cook like that,” Del teased while tugging on the topmost buttoned button on Rokov’s shirt, “you can’t sit on the beach like that.”  

Rokov raised his eyebrows, his eyes darting around to communicate the prying eyes of the many guests at the resort. It was drama enough for them to be there at all, the last thing they needed was his ink making the pearl clutching guests complain. He knew from his time working for Trident how quickly those with credits to burn would complain over anything that made them nervous.  

Del ticked his tongue and waved off the wordless concern, the ice in his glass clinking as he motioned to his own shirtless torso and his collection of scars and tattoos, “you’ll be fine.”

Titus was a classic Brotherhood of Steel asshole character. Maybe those on Reddit who didn't like what Maximus did...thought Titus was a good guy and that the BOS are good guys.....

Seren x Reyes and prompt #7. “You want me to give you your book/phone/item back? Make me.” 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Oh nice choice! (FYI Seren is now Aeryn Ryder) - below the cut and also on AO3

Aeryn opened the door to the private room at Tartarus to find Reyes at the back as usual. He was reading through a datapad, so engrossed in it that he hadn't even lifted his head to her appearance. She turned to Vetra who'd come with her down to the underbelly of Kadara and the Turian flexed her mandibles, a gesture Aeryn knew meant the same as an eyeroll for them and Aeryn held back a chuckle. What ever was on that slate must be very important to not notice her she thought. Probably important Collective business now that he was the de-facto ruler of Kadara. Still he had asked her to spend time with him here and she'd made sure to get some time off from exploring Meridian to do that. The least he could do was take some time off too. "I'm going to speak to Kian then head back to the port." Vetra whispered as she bobbed her head in the Turian equivalent of a grin."We'll pick you up in two weeks, don't have too much fun." Vetra left Aeyrn, who let the door close behind her and heard the distinctive click of the double lock going on as Reyes's sly eyes caught hers, a smirk playing on his lips. "I knew you were here Cariño, soon as your ship entered Kadara space." Of course he'd know, Aeryn realised, he always knew. So why was he so intent on what ever was on that datapad? She smoothly unzipped her jacket to let it fall open as it usually did, though she had her reasons for keeping it closed until now. "I wasn't sure, since you were so engrossed in what ever you were reading, that I thought you'd forgotten I was coming." Aeryn's playful tone matched the way she walked towards Reyes, her footsteps making her hips sway in a way that caught his attention further and he closed what ever was on the datapad, letting it rest on his thighs as he paid full attention to her. "Oh I never forget when you come...here." It was Aeryn's turn to roll her eyes as she closed the distance to perch herself on the table in front of where he was sitting, dropping her travel bag to the floor at her side. "Is that so..."

Aeryn toyed with the edge of her scarf, slowly pulling it from around her neck and letting it drop to the table. She watched as his eyes followed the scarf and then the bob of his adam's apple as he swallowed, realising she wasn't wearing anything under her jacket. His eyes fixed there and it gave her the opportunity to snatch the datapad from his lap, snapping him out of his trance as he tried to snatch it back off her. "Aeryn I need that! It has very important information on it!" Aeryn held the datapad out of Reyes's reach, lifting the pad up high. "More important than me being here?" She knew she sounded childish, but maybe she was feeling like playing a game. "You want me to give this back to you? Make me." Reyes sucked in his lower lip, yet what every annoyance he felt was replaced with a predator's smile and he suddenly stood, crowding over Aeryn, forcing her to lean back on the table, stretching her arm back to keep the datapad out of his easy reach. Reyes took in the sight below him as Aeryn's jacket fell open exposing her breasts. "What shall I do to make you want to give that back to me I wonder? I've been thinking about you all day Aeryn, thinking of what we could do whilst you were here. It got me all hot and bothered I could barely think."

"I like having that effect on you." Aeryn purred as she lay back, both arms lifting above her so that her back arched, exposing her chest further. Reyes grinned wolfishly, taking his time to look down at her, leaning down to kiss between her breasts. "Perhaps I know exactly how to make you give that back to me." He whispered as he reached back and started unbuckling her jeans, pulling them open to slide a hand under the fabric, finding Aeryn already wet to his touch. "Seems I have an effect on you as well." Aeryn moaned as Reyes slid two fingers through her folds to touch her clit, rolling his fingertips over it. He worked methodically, watching Aeryn's face intently as her pleasure built, every now and then leaning down to kiss her lips, her neck, her chest, noticing the tremble build in Aeryn's legs as she started to reach her peak. "Is this what you like mi amor?" "Yes…I'm so close Reyes!" "I know…" Reyes pulled his hand away, denying Aeryn her orgasm, making her lift her head up in a pleading mewl that only made Reyes grin. "Give me back my pad and I'll give you what you want…and more." Aeryn let her head drop back to the table, pouting defiantly but gasped as Reyes slid his fingers back to her center, this time dipping them into her core. "Reyes!"

The datapad was tossed onto the couch, making Reyes chuckle huskily as he returned his fingers to her clit, working them feverishly to bring Aeryn back to that knife edge and watched entranced as she tipped over, her back arching even further as she scrambled to grip the edge of the table with her hands. Working her through her orgasm, Reyes smiled when Aeryn lifted her head back up and reached for him to pull him down for a desperate and passionate kiss. "I missed you, you smug bastard." She whispered between kisses, "now give me what I want." "As you wish mi cielo, mi luna, mis estrellas. Anything for you."

Reyes quickly unzipped his combat suit, stepping out of it as Aeryn divested herself of her clothing and he pulled her off the table to straddle his lap on the couch. "Two weeks of nothing but enjoying each other's company, a man could get very used to this." He whispered as he felt Aeryn sink down onto his hard cock, dragging a low guttural moan out of him. This right here was one of things he'd had trouble getting off his mind once he'd thought of the possibility and now the reality was better than what he'd imagined. Aeryn ground her hips down, letting Reyes stretch and fill her again and then slowly rose up to ride him, her breath coming in short sharp pants that matched the sparks of pleasure that flowed through her. His eyes never left hers as she started moving faster as if the very sight of her was the intoxication he needed, watching as she came undone once more, the waves of ecstasy washing over her till she let herself drop down and let Reyes take over, his hips working hard as he thrust deeply into her, till he too came with a ragged gasp. Sweaty and sated Aeryn relaxed in Reyes arms, carding her fingers through his now tousled hair. "What ever was on that datapad that was so important anyway?" She said with a hazy edged voice of utter bliss. Reyes smirked and leaned them both over to grab the slate, opening it up to show her. Aeryn's eyes opened wide on the message that she silently read. "Reyes did you know that Angaran give gifts of commitment to their partners?" "No, but humans do too Keema, usually rings symbolising unity and eternal...why are you tell me this?" "Reyes…When are you going to give Aeryn a sign of your commitment? You two are adorable together." "You read my mind again Keema…Know any jewellers on Kadara?" "I have just the artisan in mind Reyes. Sent you her information."" Aeryn looked from the datapad to Reyes who had the biggest vehshaanan grin on his face, and she froze in his grasp as if time was holding still, afraid what she'd just read was a joke. Reyes pulled a small box from the side of the couch that she'd not noticed and opened it with the flick of his thumb. Inside were two rings made of a black metal inlaid with flecks of gold and a stone that flashed both purple and green in one ring . "I know…marriage is off the cards for the moment whilst The Collective wrangle negotiations with the Initiative, but Keema isnt wrong that I want to show my commitment to you. I had these made by an Angaran here. She said she'd used traditional materials, but I chose the stone to match your hair and eyes." Reyes took the inlaid ring out and slid it onto Aeryn's ring finger where it fitted perfectly. She looked down at it, amazed and surprised. "How did you…?" "I may have assisted Mr Vidal." SAM piped up. "Reyes contacted me and explained the idea and since I only have limited experience in human relationship rituals I was intrigued to help accomplish this." "SAM...Reyes, it's beautiful." Reyes slid the other ring onto his finger and clasped their hands together, kissing hers reverently. "You are beautiful Aeryn. This is just the first of many things I want to do to show you how committed I am to making this work." Reyes smiled softly, his own hand now brushing loose hair that had fallen over Aeryn's face and tucking it behind her ear. "Now, how about we get dressed and I'll take you to my home. We'll bath in the nearby hot springs, I'll cook us up a feast, we'll fuck like Adhi and forget business for the time we have together. I've already arranged it with Keema and my main representatives. Unless the blackhole threatens to swallow Kadara, I am not to be disturbed." "God yes...I love you Reyes." "Love you too mi amor."
