And more info dumping. Part 5. It'll slow down for a few days while I work out some kinks in the plot and beef up some info I just glossed over. If I had to guess I might make two more of these entries, maybe three.

Also without spoiling this entry ends with a happy note for once!

The TWs are pretty mild in this one. It's just some mention of what happened to Jelani and I guess you could say some victim blaming.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Nuka World:

A few months passed and Varg came to visit. He, Jelani and Angelus spent hours just chatting away and Varg told the boys that he heard rumors that Nuka World had been attacked. Angelus was of course worried seeing as how he hadn't been to Nuka World in months. After Varg left Angelus told Jelani he needed to go back to Nuka World and Jelani said he'd go with him.

Once they arrived the raiders were weary of Jelani as he was an unfamiliar but Angelus vouched for him. Turns out that the plan to get rid of Colter went off without a hitch. Gage welcomed the new overboss and showed them the area and what they needed to do. Kiddie Kingdom had been cleared and given to The Pack but after that the new overboss was hanging around the market too much until one day everyone within the market came out guns blazing led by the overboss. Most of them died but several well placed bombs made short work of most of the gangs' members. The overboss was killed and before anyone could blink Gage had disappeared.

Nuka World was in shambles, leaderless, key figures were dead including Shank and anything could set off a civil war. The leaders of each gang had survived and while The Pack and The Operators tried their best to rebuild The Disciples just wanted blood. Many dead Pack and Operator members were blamed on Disciple members. There was an unspoken alliance between The Pack and The Operators but there was a lot of mistrust as well. Not one of the leaders thought to continue clearing the rest of the park or even continue with the plan. They were all in a stagnant stalemate.

Now, hanging around the outskirts of Nuka World were 2 other raider gangs. The War Birds, a gang formed from Commonwealth raiders that tried joining Nuka World but were rejected for whatever reason so the rejected got together to form their own gang. They'd occasionally attack Nuka World especially now that they knew they were weakened.

The other gang was The Syndicate. The leaders were Tyrone "Ty" Radek and Lamar Bourne. Their entire gang were remnants of descendants of people from the SAS and MI6 from London. This group in particular had flown across the ocean over 5 years ago and settled in Georgia but moved and soon found themselves near Boston. They were well trained, organized, and armed to the teeth with weapons in excellent condition and eager to use 'em. The Syndicate were sympathetic to Nuka World's situation but if they didn't ask them for help they weren't gonna bother.

Further from the outskirts were dozens of raiders and raider gangs dying to take over Nuka World especially after hearing about their misfortune. A massive group of Gunners had cleared out and taken over Bradberton and the power plant. Nuka World found itself between a rock and a hard place.

Normally Jelani couldn't be bothered to give a flying fuck about raiders. He'd been killing all kinds of raiders since he was 14-years-old and plenty of his caps were made from assassinating raiders. But he saw how Angelus was at the sight of his home and his gang in shambles and Jelani couldn't help but feel the need to somehow help. That first night Angelus said he was gonna permanently leave the gang as there was no fixing that mess. While Angelus slept Jelani did some research of his own and started to plan out ways to expand the gang's reach across the entire park. He went to Angelus with the plan and while grateful he told him they'd be on their own as none of the other gangs would even bother; not at that stage. Jelani said they just needed ammo and time, that just the two of them would be able to clear shit if they organized well and were careful.

Angelus went to Mason with the idea and while he was reluctant to trust an outsider again he said there was not much more damage Jelani could do so he had his gang hand over most of the ammo they had. It was a good sizable amount but Jelani preferred more so Angelus went to The Operators, specifically two of its members that he was friends with and more importantly friends that owed him a big favor. The twins Cass and Jazz agreed to talk to Mags on Angelus's behalf but it took a lot of convincing. In the end Jelani stepped up and promised the next location they cleared out belonged to The Operators. This swayed Mags so she relinquished a good portion of their ammo to Jelani and Angelus so they set off towards the Galactic Zone.

Having done his research Jelani knew that the robots within that section had gone haywire and were hostile to anything and everything that moved. In their inventory they had a few plasma grenades and mines but not enough to wipe them all out. So Jelani suggested they somehow draw the robots out to them, Angelus volunteered to run in, fire at them and then run back towards Jelani. Jela wasn't a fan of that idea but Angelus convinced him he was fast enough. So for 3 days and 2 nights they baited about 90% of the robots to run out and Jelani shot them down while Dagny kept patrol of the area for stragglers.

Once it was mostly safe to go in they found the mainframe which Jelani was a little more than enthusiastic about hacking into but without power being drawn into it it was lost. However, Angelus found some cores that powered it up. They found some and it was enough to get the defense systems shut down. Once it was completely safe Jelani, Angelus and Dagny returned to Nuka Town and went directly to Mags to tell her the Galactic Zone was hers. Impressed that the two of them managed to overtake the GZ and Jelani kept his promise Mags said that whatever he needed all he had to do was ask. The twins asked if they needed any extra hands and Jelani took them up on that offer as his next target was the zoo.

Before heading to the zoo Jelani asked Angelus if he could somehow arrange a meeting with The Syndicate, the more allies the better. Angelus agreed but told him that Radek was one of the leaders. Yeah, Jela got nervous and a little nauseous but he wanted to continue with the meeting.

Radek and Bourne heard him out and agreed that Nuka World was fucked so they agreed to help. They were honest and said they were getting bored and a little action might do them some good. Before leaving, Radek asked to talk to Jelani alone and apologized about their first encounter. Jelani just shrugged it off but Radek said that he thought Jelani's reaction was due to trauma but Jelani cut 'im off and said he was dealing with it.

You guessed it, he had a pretty bad nightmare that night but this time Angelus was there to help him through it.

The next day Radek, the twins and some Pack members met up with Jelani, Angelus and Dagny at the zoo. Cito and his family had been forced to leave and search for a new home due to the population of gatorclaws growing out of control. The beasts basically took over the zoo. At first Jelani mistook them for deathclaws and a rage he hadn't felt in a very long time possessed him. Some of the Pack members wanted to keep a few alive but that kinda went south when Jelani went a bit overkill with a few he bumped into. The idea of keeping a few alive kinda got scrapped when two Pack members were torn to shreds and eaten. This endeavor took damn near 2 weeks and used up a fuck ton of ammo. Once they dropped the population they found the cloning machine and removed the gatorclaw aspect from it. The Pack wanted to keep the machine working though as it could prove useful for duplicating animals for the purpose of entertainment.

The zoo naturally went to The Pack. With 2 locations under their control The Pack began to look favorably at Jelani. The Operators were still friendly but they reminded Jela not to forget about them and even hinted that they favored the Nuka Cola Bottling Plant for themselves as it seemed to be a standing monument to their beliefs. Jelani was going to tackle that one next but the meeting between him and Mags was disrupted when two of Nisha's goons called for him. While Mags didn't appreciate it she was sure she knew why she sent for him and told him not to worry.

Once they escorted Jelani and Angelus (who was forced to wait outside) Nisha basically began to threaten to "slowly kill him with a dull and rusty butter knife" if the next 2 locations weren't claimed for The Disciples. Jelani being Jelani didn't appreciate that one damn bit and the two basically got into a sort of back and forth of threats that amounted to a verbal dick measuring contest between the two. In the end Nisha said that she would be sending one of her guys with him and if the next 2 locations weren't hers he was ordered to kill Jelani on the spot. He left and the Disciple assigned to him, a big and muscular brute of a man named Otis, tailed him.

With the change of plans Jela snuck away to talk to Mags. He said he'd be clearing out Dry Rock Gulch and giving it to Nisha but that after that he was gonna clear the bottling plant for Mags. He was honest about Nisha's threats and while Mags couldn't do anything about it Jela said he told her just so she knew what was happening and to keep an eye out in case The Disciples tried anything cute.

Dry Rock was somewhat similar to the zoo in that it had an animal problem. However, the beasties were a problem due to how they attacked and traveled. Mags and Mason gave Jelani and Angelus more ammo and a few people to help, the twins Cass and Jazz returned. Otis was just there to keep an eye on Jelani. However, Jelani had Dagny follow from far and occasionally could be heard yelling commands in Norwegian to the little nightstalker. Otis kinda caught on and demanded he say what he was saying in English but Jelani ignored him. Dagny was basically ordered to tail Otis and watch him.

At Dry Rock the bloodworms had also grown in population and had basically taken over the section. Their soft bodies were easily shredded to pieces by bullets but their method of traveling and numbers made the ordeal a challenge which lasted long into the night. Once the root of the problem had been taken care of all they needed to do was get the stragglers that were roaming in the area. Everyone inside the park was relatively safe as the bloodworms learned to avoid the sound of gunfire but Otis who'd been outside the park and keeping watch had been snatched by the few remaining bloodworms. He obviously yelled for help and tbh letting him die would've made Jelani thrilled but there was no way Nisha would've believed her goon was eaten by the worms so he and the others rushed to save his ass.

Once the worms were dead they packed up and left back to Nuka Town to tell Nisha that her little gang could move into Dry Rock. When they were close to Nuka Town they noticed Otis was lagging really far behind. Out of some weird sense of misplaced compassion Jelani checked in on him and noticed all the bite marks. He actually tended to the wounds and noticed the big brute had been poisoned. After letting out the world's most annoyed groan and rolling his eyes Jelani actually treated the poison with some antidote he had, it was sort of a universal one so it would take time to heal. He also noticed Otis had hurt his leg pretty badly so Jelani took care of that too. After Otis regained some strength back they continued and Otis gave Nisha the news that Dry Rock was theirs. She ordered him to tail Jelani again but he said he wouldn't be able to with his injuries. After a massive bitch fit Nisha went to Jelani and threatened him again. And again Jelani and her got into an argument which ended in both walking away pissed off.

The last place that needed to be claimed was the Nuka Cola Bottling Plant. The plant had a unique problem though. It had become the new HQ for an off branch group of Gunners led by an unknown man in a mask. This group of Gunners were very heavily armed, very hostile and knew what they were doing. This was gonna be a problem as the only ones fit to effectively fight them were Jelani and The Syndicate. There were even rumors of ghosts running through the area of the plant. Jelani and Angelus sat down with Radek and Bourne and asked for reinforcements which they gladly gave due to their boredom and desire to get out there and do something. However, they requested a sit down with whoever ran Nuka World to join as allies. Jela was honest and said there wasn't anyone running Nuka World and that basically it was the leaders of the three gangs that sorta ran it. Radek and Bourne weren't too thrilled with that answer but they decided to help anyway.

The next day a dozen soldiers from The Syndicate arrived at Nuka Town to join Jelani, Angelus and Dagny. Cass and Jazz as well as a few Operators and a few more Pack members showed up. They wasted no time and marched on the Nuka Cola Bottling Plant.

*cue the Call of Duty montage!*

This shit took damn near 70 hours but with Jelani and Radek leading the assault they managed to steer a group of raiders to victory. The "ghosts" rumored to circle the plant were actually assaultrons using their cloaking abilities. This wasn't that big of an issue as Jelani sniped them from a distance using the thermal sight on his modified scope. Once they breached the plant itself they rushed forward and suffered some casualties due to traps set up by the Gunners but they managed to push through. The leader, the masked man, had barricaded himself in the upper control room but Jelani broke through with Dagny's help. She seemed overly protective of Jelani and very vicious once Jela found the masked man and confronted him.

The man began to laugh and said, "Back for more, kid?”

Jelani froze in place while Dagny backed up against him and snarled viciously as her tail rattled. He recognized that voice, it was seared into his brain. It was one of the voices that plagued his nightmares almost every night. The man removed his mask and sure enough it was one of the men that had raped him. More specifically the first one that started the assault. The man was gonna say something but Jelani woke up from his frozen state and emptied an entire clip of a pistol directly into his face. Angelus found Jelani pulling the trigger and breathing heavily as he cried and kept aiming the empty gun at the body a few feet in front of him. Angelus lowered his arm and hugged him while he tried to calm him down. Radek followed close by and walked in on them. He didn't understand what was going on but by the state of the body on the floor it was personal. Radek asked if Jelani was okay but he shook his head. Angelus asked if he was one of them and Jelani shakily said yes.

After a few minutes Jelani composed himself and noticed a map of the area on the wall with the plant and Bradberton circled. He figured the rest of the Gunners were there and if one of the men that assaulted him was there the rest might be there. Jelani simply reloaded his gun and said they needed to go to Bradberton town to wipe out the rest. When Jelani left Radek asked what the fuck was that. Angelus said that Jela had been attacked when he was 17 and the dead guy in the corner was one of them and left it at that as he went after Jelani. Radek ain't stupid though, he put two and two together and referenced that with the first time he met Jelani and understood what Angelus said.

NOTE: The entire encounter was more dramatic but this is an info dump, not story.

Jelani told one of the Operators to go to Mags and to let her know the plant was hers but they needed to take care of the Gunner problem or else it would come back to bite 'em in the ass. Jelani marched straight into Bradberton with a scorched earth determination. The town had far less Gunners but nevertheless he and the others gunned down the entire town. Jela was on the lookout for any familiar faces but didn't find anyone else. After half an hour Radek yelled out that one of them was making a break for it and Jelani spotted one of them running away. He and Dagny gave chase.

At the Northpoint Reservoir Dagny managed to catch up to the runaway Gunner and brought him down. He managed to get back up but a well placed .50 bullet right into his right knee put an end to his running. As he writhed in agony Jelani ordered Dagny to stand down though she acted as viciously as she did with the man at the plant. Jelani disarmed him and kicked him over. Turns out the leader of that group of Gunners was Christian.

Christian began to laugh when he recognized Jelani. Like the guy Jelani killed in the plant he mocked him and asked if he was back for another round and said all sorts of foul shit to Jela. How if he didn't want it to happen he would've fought harder, how it wouldn't have happened had he and his brother minded their own business, how Jelani liked being raped because he was touching himself when it happened (Christian forced him to do that while holding a knife to his throat) and other rancid shit to get a reaction out of Jelani.

Jelani was quiet and had a blank expression as he drew his knife and his pistol. He shot him twice on each antecubital fossa (socturns out that the name for the front area of the elbow lol) and cut his throat from ear to ear and left him to slowly bleed to death. After watching Christian agonize for a bit he left back to the town. Angelus was waiting for him and hugged him again. Jelani got teary eyed but honestly he was just numb. Didn't make him feel better, didn't suddenly mean he was cured of his PTSD, it didn't change the fact that it happened, wasn't gonna stop the nightmares or flashbacks/memories, sure as shit wasn't gonna mean just anyone could touch him and he wouldn't jump or anything but he felt a weird type of satisfaction knowing he killed 2 of the men that raped him.

Once they got back to Nuka Town The Pack and Operator leaders reported that Nisha had rebelled and taken over the power plant. All of Nuka World as well as The Syndicate stormed the power plant. In the end Nisha made her last stand and was gonna shoot Jela but Otis turned his gun on Nisha and blew her brains out instead. The day before taking the bottling plant Otis came to Jelani and told him Nisha had planned to kill him regardless of whether he gave The Disciples the plant or not but since Jelani helped him Otis went rogue but stayed undercover under Jelani's order.

Once the power plant was theirs they turned the power back on in the entire park. The Syndicate was welcomed as part of the main roster and all the leaders had a sit down to make Jela the new overboss given how he was the one that revitalized the idea to take over the park again and actually pulled through. However, he turned it down. He was adamant that one lone asshole leading the whole thing was a bad idea and suggested that all leaders should form a sort of council. Still though, they added him to the council due to all of his hard work and kind of made him overboss of the council. They still had a lot of work to do. There were other gangs and raiders itching to take over Nuka World and dozens of areas ripe with caps for them to take. Not to mention that with Jelani, Radek and Bourne's help they could shape up The Pack and The Operators into lethal raiders that could rival even the Gunners in terms of fighting for and defending Nuka World.

Jelani agreed to stay within the council but wanted to make it clear that he could come and go as he chose along with Angelus. It was agreed and so Jelani, Angelus, Dagny, Ayo and Alyona returned to Kingsport Lighthouse after speaking with Ginger through a ham radio. It'd been a few chaotic weeks and Jelani just wanted some peace and quiet.

Once they were at the Lighthouse, Ginger and Abigail told Jelani he had a visitor who was waiting for him in the kitchen of the main house. Jela was kinda puzzled but he went to check anyway. Dagny was sniffing around the front door and let out a few happy yaps as she rushed into the kitchen with her tail wagging wildly. Jelani called her but she rushed in and was jumping up on a man. He petted Dagny and laughed but when he saw Jelani he said, "Hei, lillebror (Hi, little brother)."

Jelani dropped everything he was holding onto, ran towards Loke and hugged him as tight as he could while gasping for air and repeating over and over again that he saw him die. Loke hugged him back as hard as he could and kept apologizing. Jelani sort of felt faint and both siblings fell to the ground when he lost his balance but kept hugging each other and crying into each other's arms. Loke wiped Jelani's tears away as he kept apologizing and kissing him repeatedly.

@starsandskies made the last line meme post and I couldn't find the fic I've started but I found it.

I wrote it in bed I think because I had the idea. It's not great at the moment. But that's what first drafts always are, they aren't perfect the first go around 💙

Anyway, Overboss Moira x Gage x Shank:

Shank made his way around the wall and fell into bed next to Gage, who lay very naked and half covered in sheets. Shank sat up just enough to shrug and shimmy his overcoat off his shoulders and down his arms, letting it pool on the floor as it slid off the mattress. Laying down on his side, he took an arm and wrapped it around Gage's waist.

"You gained muscle mass Moira, I'm surprised."

#fallout 4 #Gage half asleep naked in bed at fizz top and Shank comes in and gets in bed with him and Gage is like #damn Moira you got thicc #fallout nuka world #sole survivor x Gage #f!sole x Gage #Overboss x Gage #porter gage #fallout 4 Shank #Moira x Gage #I immediately love Shank because his voice actor is in Halo so it's immediately me in love with the man #meanwhile Moira is not there but yeah lmffaaaooo

Fic Update: Another Life

She wanted to kick and scream and throw a fit? Fine. Whatever. She hated his guts? Sure. She didn’t want him in her bed anymore? Probably for the best. But they had shit to do and she knew that just as well as he did. He gave her a day; gave her some space. Now they were both gonna suck it up, keep their hands to themselves, and get on running this place. Didn’t matter how either of them felt; they had a job to do and he’d lost sight of that for long enough. She could hate him on her own fucking time.

_____________________________________________

Gage goes looking for Corinne and uh. It doesn’t go great! Updated here! :D

Heyyy, question for you. Let's assume that Hector got used to have Porter, like a right hand man by his side around wasteland, right?. Who from other npcs around fallout would Hector consider to be fitted for that role if Gage would be gone (off to forever vacation or smth i dunno , just puff gone). Would he choose to travel alone or is there anyone else he could consider a friend/companion fitted to join him? Also fantastic drawing for day 2, cheers ^^

Gone forever??? Oh dear, oh no

I can’t see that going well at all. You see, Hector is kind of very dependent on Gage. Gage made Hector into the boss he is, helped him get shit under control and has been at his side every step of the way. Keeps helping him with everything even after things have stabilized, because that’s his job as a right hand man and Hector really still needs his guidance. For all he learned, Gage still knows a lot more about this whole thing than Hector. He’d probably be fine for a few weeks on his own if Gage needed a vacation or something, but things might go downhill over longer periods of time.

There’s no one quite like Gage when it comes to skills and experience, and no one at all who Hector has such a bond with, which is arguably the more important part. And they only have this kind of bond because they were forced to work together. Out of his own volition, Hector would have never sought this kind of thing out or had the drive to make it work. When it comes to making friends, Hector kinda needs some…forceful persuasion.

The point I’m trying to make is, I’m not sure anyone would fit the bill just right. Hector isn’t one to easily approach people, so unless that person comes to him themselves and makes a fantastic case, it’s unlikely Hector would get a ‘replacement’. Sure he’d get people to come with him on certain missions and such, but it wouldn’t be a ‘constant faithful companion’ situation like with Gage. He’s just be on his own, with MAAK and the fog crawler, likely questioning whether this is still worth doing. Maybe pull a Colter and let things stagnate because he’s really kinda depressed

At least those are my thoughts with how things are established currently. I haven’t worked much on relationships Hector has with people other than Gage, so who knows? Maybe not everything has to be so doom and gloom. Could be that when Gage starts to hang out more with Butch, it’s hard on Hector at first, but ultimately helps him get a bit of healthy distance and a new perspective. Make Hector more open to forming friendships with other people who are not Gage or people super closely associated with Gage (aka Butch). Make him realize that the world doesn’t end when Gage can’t be there 24/7 and there are other people he can depend on.

Sorry I can’t give you anything more concrete :’)

#it'd probably have to be someone nuka world associated #and a neutral party #shank would make a good fit in terms of skills and it helps that gage deemed him useful enough #but I can't see Hector and Shank getting along all that well #Lizzie is too Operator-affiliated #Fritsch? nah #mentally going through all the npcs i can think of lmao #I could picture Hector going to hang out with old longfellow but that would require him leaving nuka world behind #which like i said is not unlikely #but old longfellow wouldn't be taking the 'gage' role then #anyway this has given me a lot to think about thanks!#also thank you for the compliment #mwah #heart emoji #unicornu #hector messerli #ask

Nuka World and what my Sole thinks about the people there.

Colter: he's fuckin dead. what more do you want?

Gage: Honestly she thought he was a huge dickhead but after travelling around with him for a while, noticing the small things he does, and the trust he gave her by opening up, she became super close to him. More than Mags or Sierra. Gage is her best friend.

Mason: Intimidated of him at first, but their friendship worked out very well. Love him. A huge softie and happy around dogs but not in front of people. Sole walked in on him once and saw him baby talking some puppies. It was a mutual agreement to never bring it up in front of the rest of the pack. Sometimes she still pokes fun at him. She has a huge crush on him.

Nisha: Absolutely fucking wicked. Cold blooded killer. Scary. Please stay away from me and my family. How do you fucking see?

Dixie: snake tongued Southern Satan spawn. Mental note: don't ever trust her.

Savoy: ...Weirdo...

Mags Black: Sassy. Cool. Collected. Kinda bratty though, but as long as you keep caps in her pockets, she's happy about it. Her and Xena have a good friendship and hang out every once in a while.

William Black: Boring. 0/10. Just kidding. He's okay, but they're not really acquainted. They don't chat unless it's about a job the operators need help with.

Lizzie Wyath: Like William, Xena doesn't really know her too well. They rarely ever talk to each other, but they're not on bad terms in any way

Dara Hubbell: She's not 100% there and a little bit off her rocker but she's sweet and sometimes Xena pays her visits and repairs their spacesuits.

Shank: He's alright but he's obviously too shady. Definitely doesn't want him around when she's got more than a few measley caps.

Sierra Petrovita: Xena may be stone cold and stoic at times but with Sierra around, she's usually laughing. She wasn't sure about her at first and kinda thought she was annoying but they're still pretty good friends.

Cito: A gentle giant with a warm heart and back breaking hugs. Xena is very fond of him and will kill anyone who hurts him or his "family". No really.

As with any autumn, change comes.

It’s slow and burgeoning, but it happens all the same; with the death of the blazing heat and the sure lengthening of darker nights, Fizztop’s shadow casts over the entirety of Nuka-Town USA as the sun dips behind its jagged peak, the air growing crisp with a dewy coolness as mornings carry a chill that tickle the skin until goosebumps form and hair stands on end, breath softly misting in the air. On each of the verdant trees that line the park’s many roads and avenues the greenery begins to tinge yellow on the edges of their leaves, bringing forth golden hues sure to wither away in but a month’s time, and when the wind gusts the youngest to fall are crushed underfoot against the cracked paving, pressed into the grit by the tread of boots. The grasses grow tall in the wake of wet showers, the yao guai in the distance begin to fatten for the winter to come, and Nisha receives word that the Overboss wishes to have a meeting with her in the Grille.

It comes as no real surprise; whilst Andrea has yet to formally announce the start of the invasion of the Commonwealth to the masses, almost everyone knows that the clock is ticking down, anticipation as potent in the air as the lingering sulphuric scent of smoke. Soon, she’ll have taken even Colter’s grandest ambitions right out of his long-rotted fingers and into her own, hammering in the final nail of her dominance, and her next moves will be entirely of her own making—free of her predecessor’s ghost and powered by honed ambition. To that end, Nisha knows she’s been busy talking to Shank (begrudgingly) and to the scouts and officers of her favoured gangs (less begrudgingly), moving across the parks like a beast possessed as she focuses so entirely on thoughts of eastward expansion that the daily rigmarole of Nuka-World has fallen to the wayside, left almost entirely in Gage’s incapable hands. Sacrifices have to be made, Nisha supposes.

THE WORK OF WOLVES has updated with chapter fifteen; COME THE FALL.

In this instalment: plotting and planning and pondering.

Small Gage fanfic 'cause I'm in love with the stinky raider man:

Everyone knew about the Overboss' recent adventure. Gage and sole tried hiding it as best as they could, but people knew they were more than just colleagues. The way they looked after each other during battle, and kept a watchful eye on each other when one of them strayed further than arms reach. The way they tended to each others wounds after a fight, or passerbyers seeing the soft lighting and the laughter coming from fizztop grille in the late hours of night.

It was obvious that there was more going on between them. Shank noticed how Gage stayed 5 steps behind her whenever they walked through Nuka Town. Gage couldn't hide his stare at her ass when he wasn't watching out for anyone else who might've been checking her out. But who could blame them? The overboss was a knockout, and everyone noticed the stupid grin on Gage's face whenever he was with her, as if he couldn't believe his luck.

Gage knew, the gang leaders knew, and all of Nuka World knew, the overboss would be the death of him.

(Sorry this wasn't the best, I've never publicly put out a fanfic but I couldn't stop thinking about Boone and his late wifes relationship and it reminds me of sole and Gage in a way, anyways leave constructive critisim if youd like 👉👈🥺)

Hello! Sorry to bother, but could you possibly do the companions +Maxson reacting to Sosu begin almost killed by a raider in power armor because the raider stepped on Sosu (Who had been previously knocked down) and the raider just slowly keeps adding pressure. I'd greatly prefer romance, if I may. Thank you for your time! I also apologize if this is too graphic, you don't have to do this if it's too gross.

I got really into this one. I’m a sucker for the romanced companions. Please enjoy!

FO4 (❤️) Companions (+Nick, Deacon, & Maxson) React: Sole Getting Slowly Crushed By a Raider in Power Armor

Sole and their companion had spent the greater half of the day attempting to take over Outpost Zimonja from a group of Raiders, and they appeared to have the upper hand.

Just when they thought they had taken out the final Raider, Sole was roughly picked up and slammed onto the ground facedown.

The Raider boss— a man in power armor who called himself Boomer— placed a foot on Sole’s back.

Sole yelped in pain, and the Raider boss let out a sinister laugh.

He stepped on Sole harder, this time resulting in a sickening crack.

Sole’s eyes began to water, and Boomer looked menacingly at [companion].

Preston:

“Is this really necessary?” Preston pled, ��How you Raiders get satisfaction from torturing others is beyond me.”

Boomer laughed thunderously.

“Because,” he said, pressing down harder on Sole, “It’s fun to watch them suffer.”

Preston clenched his teeth. He didn’t have the manpower to take down the Raider.

Or did he?

“Now are ya gonna do anything? Or is your little friend gonna be squished like a Radroach?”

Preston set off a flare.

Boomer did not take kindly to this.

“Why I oughta—“

Crack!

Preston used the butt of his musket to crack the Raider’s helmet.

Before the Raider could fight back, he was brought down by the force of about ten bodies tackling him in unison.

The Minutemen had arrived.

Preston ran over to Sole, helped them up, checked to see if they were okay, and then got right back into the heat of the battle.

The surprise ambush had severely weakened Boomer’s armor. He eventually succumbed to the relentless attacks.

“Thank you, everyone. We couldn’t have defeated him without your help.”

When the Minutemen had dispersed, Preston approached Sole and pulled them into a hug.

“I’m so glad you’re okay,” he whispered, “I love you.”

Hancock:

“If you think I’m just gonna sit her and let ya step all over my friend here, then you’ve got another thing comin, punk,” Hancock threatened.

Boomer laughed.

“Yeah? And what’s a ghoul gonna do about it? I could probably snap ya in half between my pinky and my thumb.”

Hancock smirked before reaching into his coat and pulling out a syringe of psychobuff. He injected himself with it, and his mouth immediately contorted into a deranged grin.

“Shoulda quit while you were ahead, pal,” Hancock stated before charging at the enemy.

Boomer staggered a bit, buying Hancock enough time to whip out his knife and stab the Raider’s helmet.

His drug-induced jabs were strong enough to smash through the protective facepiece and right into the Raider’s eyeball.

“ARGH! My fuckin eye!”

Hancock didn’t stop.

He stabbed the raider in the face so frantically that his enemy had become almost unrecognizable.

Boomer fell to the ground just as the drugs began to wear off. Hancock then pulled out his shotgun and blew the man’s head off.

After he was sure Boomer was dead, he helped Sole to their feet, pulling them into a tight embrace.

“That’s what he gets for messin with us, doll,” the ghoul rasped, gently petting Sole’s hair, “I’m just glad you’re doin okay.”

Gage:

“Boomer! What the fuck,” Gage hollered, “Back off!”

“Aw, looks like Gagey’s getting soft, ey?” The raider taunted.

Gage growled.

“You n your little clique here has done nothin but cause problems. We sent ya out here to claim this turf. And ya have. But for yerselves. You lyin, greedy sacks of shit,” the raider continued, “And now yer gonna crush the fuckin overboss? The fuck’s the matter with ya? They already want you dead over in Nuka World. Why not give em another fuckin reason?”

“Do ya think I give a rat’s ass about the overboss, Gage?” he hissed, “The last one ya picked was a fuckin tool. Screwed us all over. How can we trust this one ain’t equally as shitty?”

Boomer chuckled and pressed down harder, causing Sole’s nose to spew blood.

Gage had had enough. He picked up a molotov and whipped it straight into the Raider’s head.

The force of the throw caused the fiery bottle to shatter across Boomer’s face, prompting him to roar in pain.

“Fuck you, Boomer,” Gage as he cradled a severly injured Sole in his arms. He looked at them softly, “Sorry ya had to suffer like that, babe. Ya gonna be alright?”

Sole nodded and Gage gave them a tight hug.

“Yer a real trooper, bo

Cait

Without hesitation, Cait whipped out her baseball bat.

“That’s it! I’m gonna bash yer skull in ye bastard!”

The redhead proceded to furiously whack Boomer on the arms, legs, chest, and head.

The Raider chuckled before lifting Cait off the ground and throwing her behind him like a ragdoll.

Cait hit the ground with a sickening thud before hearing Sole cry out again.

Boomer was crushing them.

Cait racked her brain for ideas when she spotted it: the fusion core.

She gripped her bat tight and bashed the core with all her might. It shattered into a million pieces.

The power armor went limp and she charged into it, effectively knocking Boomer to the ground.

She pulled out her shotgun, ripped off Boomer’s helmet, and stuffed the barrel into his mouth.

“You sure do know how to show a girl a good time,” she scoffed, pulling the trigger.

She scrambled over to her lover, sitting them upright.

“Yer safe now. Please, talk to me darlin,” she pled, slightly shaking Sole. Hert companion groaned and cracked an eye open.

“Yer alive! Oh, thank god!” She exclaimed, planting a rough kiss on their cheek, “I knew ye wouldn’t let yerself die to a spineless raider!”

Piper:

“Stop! You’re hurting [him/her]!”

“You got a good set of eyes there, doll.” Boomer hissed. He applied more pressure to Sole’s back and they let out a weak cry.

“Oh god…”

“Ya gonna try tah free em, or am I gonna haveta crush em?”

Piper racked her brain for ideas, but she was so flustered she couldn’t think of any. He was frozen.

The raider applied more pressure and Sole’s nose started to bleed.

“Blue! I—” before she could finish, something caught her eye. A note.

Boomer if we fucking find out where you’ve been hiding.

We’re coming after you. And we’re going to fucking murder you.

-Shank

Piper grabbed the note and held it up.

“Look bud. I know you’re in some hot water with the raiders, and I happen to be a reporter,” Piper announced, “Let my friend go, or I will make sure every raider across the Commonwealth knows where you’re hiding. Got it?”

Boomer growled.

“Why you little— I oughta— I— argh! Fine!” He said, stepping off Sole and kicking them to the side, “This weak fucker ain’t worth sparin with any of the raider gangs.”

He turned on his heels.

“Not a fuckin peep about my whereabouts. Got it, bitch?”

Piper nodded. “You got it.”

When Shank was out of sight, Piper lifted her injured companion into her arms.

“Oh, Blue. I’m so sorry I couldn't help you sooner than I did,” she cried, “But I’m so happy you’re alive!”

The reporter proceeded to shower her lover in kisses as they weakly clung to her.

MacCready:

“What’s your problem? Let [him/her] go!”

Boomer laughed, “Yeah. I don’t think that’s gonna happen, little man.”

MacCready grit his teeth.

“How much do you want?”

Boomer stopped laughing, his face suddenly serious.

“How much you’ve got to offer?”

MacCready laughed, “Look dude. I know how this goes. I’m not going to be the first to number drop. You want the caps, you name the price.”

Boomer rolled his eyes.

“Fine. 2500.”

“A little high, dontcha think?”

Sole glared at MacCready. If looks could kill, the merc would be six feet under. He caught their gaze and winked at them.

“2300.”

“Do I look like I’m made of caps, pal,” MacCready pressed, “2000 and you got yourself a deal.”

“Fine! Fine! Just give me my fucking money.” Boomer huffed.

MacCready fished through his duster and pulled out the caps.

The Raider greedily accepted the caps and turned around to walk away.

MacCready then helped Sole to their feet and briefly assessed them to see if they had any life-threatening injuries.

They didn’t.

Before Sole had the chance to rip MacCready a new one,however, he gave them a quick peck on the forehead, equipped his sniper, and climbed onto a bluff.

Boomer was still in plain sight. MacCready smirked as he aimed for the fusion core and shot.

He saw Boomer’s armor go limp, before watching him crawl out.

“Excellent.”

The merc aimed for the Raider’s head, held his breath, and pulled the trigger. He watched his enemies head explode, creating a shower of blood and skull fragments.

He then slid down from the bluff and ran up to Sole, pulling them into a hug.

“Before you kill me! I knew the only way to get him off you was to offer caps. I didn’t want to esculate the situation,” MacCready explained. He planted a gentle kiss on the top of Sole’s head, “I didn’t want to risk him hurting you. I didn’t...I couldn’t...I wouldn’t be able to watch you suffer like that. I love you too much.”

Nick:

Ting!

Something barely noticeable hit Boomer’s armor.

“The fuck was that?” He asked, looking around, “Was that you,tin can?”

“Says the guy in the power armor.”

“Yeah, whatever. It was probably a bug or some shit.

Nick smirked and put away the syringer rifle he was holding; the Raider was completely oblivious to the hack dart he had been struck with.

“You know Boomer, I think it would be more badass to crush [name] with your fists. I mean anybody can get crushed. It happens all the time.”

Sole looked horrified, but Nick continued.

“But to crush the life out of someone with your fists, Now that. That’s nothing to scoff at.”

The raider contemplated for a moment and agreed.

“You know what, grandpa? You’re right.”

Boomer picked Sole off the ground with the intent to squeeze the life out of them.

Sole closed their eyes and grit their teeth. They couldn’t believe Valentine, of all people, was a traitor.

“This is gonna be fun” Boomer growled, “Rest in pe—“

He suddenly dropped Sole.

“Hey what the hell?”

He then started to punch himself in the face.

“What...the fuck...is...argh! Goin on!?”

“Stop hitting yourself,” Nick teased, controlling the power armor’s actions, “Why are you hitting yourself?”

“Leave me—argh! Alone!”

“Fine, fine,” Nick agreed, putting down the controls, “Run along now, Boomer.”

“Yeah, I will! And Tenpines Bluff is gonna get the blunt of my anger!”

“He just had to push it, didn’t he?”

Boomer turned on his heels and fled.

Just before he was out of sight, Nick pressed a button and the power armor exploded, instantly killing the hostile Raider.

“Yeah, he isn’t going to be messing with any settlements on my watch,” Nick stated, while walking over to his lover. He held out a hand and Sole accepted it.

“Glad to see you’re alright, dear,” Nick said, pulling Sole into a hug and giving them a kiss on the cheek, “Now. Shall we get moving?”

Curie:

“[Name]!” Curie called, “I will get you vree!”

“Like hell you will.” Boomer called, swinging at Curie. She dodged, and then pulled out a knife.

“Zir! I eenzist you stop!”

Boomer grabbed at her and tried to fling her to the side, but Curie clamped onto his arm.

“H-Hey! Get off!”

He tried shaking her off, but she wouldn’t budge.

“Eef power armor ees anyzing like human anatomy, zen— ”

She swung her knife under the crack between the helmet and the chest piece and sparks went flying. She had severed one of the most important wires in the suit.

“Aha!”

“Argh! You bitch, what the hell did you do!? My power armor ain’t workin!”

Curie took a deep breath and calmed herself before mustering a powerful voice, “Leave or eet eez you’re neck...uh...zir!”

The raider grumbled.

“Fine, whatever. This dump ain’t worth all the trouble anyway.”

When the raider had stomped out of sight, Curie giggled.

“Did I zound zcary, [Madame/Monsieur]? I’ve been practicing my inteemidating voice!”

She helped Sole up and pulled them into an embrace.

“I’m zo glad you are zafe, my love,” Curie whispered, “I was truly worried.”

Danse:

Danse didn’t hesitate— he charged directly at Boomer in his own set of power armor.

The raider was taken aback by Danse’s swift response and staggered a bit.

Danse used this moment of hesitation to deliver a powerful blow to the enemy’s fusion core.

“Shit!”

Shards of glass flew in every direction, the dead suit slumping into a useless pile of metal.

Boomer was forced to crawl out of the suit and meet his opponent face-to-face.

“Not so tough now, are you?” Danse asked, towering over the Raider.

“Fuck you,” Boomer cursed, “Why don’t ya come outta your power armor and make it an even fight?”

“I’m not fighting for entertainment purposes,” Danse explained, trying his hardest to keep his cool, “You tried to kill my friend, and I’m not standing for it.”

“Yeah? And what’s stoppin me now, huh? Just cuz I don’t have fancy armor doesn’t mean I ain’t gonna kill [him/her]!”

“You lay one finger on [him/her], you’re dead,” Danse growled, “Leave. Now.”

“Urgh. Fine. None of ya’lls are worth my time anyway. I’ll just go slaughter some stupid settlers. They’re easy pickins anyway.”

Just as Boomer turned his back, Danse picked him up and piledrived him into the concrete ground. The force of the impact made the Raider’s head splatter.

Sole looked appalled and Danse furrowed his eyebrows.

“I...I didn’t mean for his demise to be quite so...barbaric. I just couldn't stand by and let him walk free knowing he was going to murder innocent civilians,” Danse shook his head, “But enough about that. Are you okay, [name]?”

Sole nodded and Danse smiled. He planted a gentle kiss on the top of their head and opened his arms as if to embrace them, but playfully ruffled their hair instead.

“I would have given you a hug, but I’m sure you’ve exceeded your crushed-by-power-armor quota for the day.”

Maxson

“As the Elder of the Brotherhood of Steel, I order you to let my partner free.”

“Big talk from a little man in a fluffy jacket.”

Maxson clenched his fist. “You’re digging your own grave, punk.”

Boomer smirked.

“Oh, really? Well, what are you going to do about it?” He hissed, pressing down on Sole’s back harder. Sole let out a yelp.

“This!” Maxson tossed a signal grenade and within seconds two Vertibirds appeared overhead.

“What is this shit?”

A storm of bullets rained down on the Raider.

“ARGH!!”

Sole got pelted by a few bullets, but the Raider absorbed most of them.

The next thing they knew, Sole was being lifted off the ground

“You’re safe now, sweetheart. Don’t worry.” Maxson reassured, carrying Sole to the nearest Vertibird, “I wasn’t going to let that scoundrel crush you.”

When Sole and Maxson made it into the aircraft, the Elder planted a kiss on their forehead.

“We’ll have Cade examine you for injuries, but you should be alright. I’m just glad you’re okay.”

Deacon:

Deacon— who had managed to strip down to his underwear and throw on a brahmin skull— started clapping, prompting Boomer to raise an eyebrow in confusion.

“Wha—?”

“Congrats! You’ve passed!” Deacon exclaimed.

“Passed? Passed what? Who the fuck are you?”

Deacon pretended to be surprised.

“Wha—you don’t know me? I’m Bones. From HQ? I was sent out to test the raider bosses. Yanno, see if they can hold their own against intruders.”

Boomer scoffed, “Well of course I fuckin passed then. I ain’t no pushover.”

“Right,” Deacon smirked, “Well, you’ve earned yourself a shipment of supplies. Just clean up the corpses and let my partner go.”

Boomer nodded and stepped off Sole. Sole took a few moments to recuperate before scrambling to their feet. Deacon winked at them,

“Thanks. We’ll be on our way now.”

When Sole and Deacon had gotten far enough away from the raider boss, the duo loaded up a Fat Man and sent a mini nuke his way.

“Enjoy the shipment, jackass!”

I'd love to hear about Butch and Gage 👀 What's their dynamic? Did they get along very quickly or was it a rough start? Any canon-divergence about how Butch became overboss? And anything else you wanna talk about 👀👀

Aw hell yeAH

The way Butch became overboss, was that while Gage was keeping a close eye on the gauntlet and anyone entering it, he also had his nose to the ground in case he could find someone he thought fit the bill. Butch had been leading their own raider gang for a couple of months, and had been pretty damn successful, built up a nice name as The Butcher (something the members of their gang started calling them, not something they picked, but they did decide to roll with it) and Gage eventually caught wind. He got someone to juice up the radio to get it to broadcast even further, and sent a cryptic note along through Shank's caravan contacts to try and lead Butch to nuka world

Well, it worked well enough. Butch thought it was a trap to get them killed, what with them having so many enemies among rival gangs, but hey, if it resulted in their death, they wouldn't really consider that much of a loss

They didn't get along super well in the beginning, or for a while afterwards, mostly because Butch was still pissed to hell and back and thought Gage was a weaselly little bitch and couldn't get through a conversation with him without scowling. But they weren't any more rude to him than they needed to be, and they knew what they were doing, so while Gage didn't appreciate the attitude, he respected them and their skills well enough

Neither of them really shared much with each other for a long time, but after getting two of the parks under control, they started respecting each other more. Butch realized Gage was just doing what he had to and couldn't fault him for that, and Gage could tell that Butch was dealing with something, and even though he didn't approve of their substance abuse, they still got things done

It wasn't until they had four of the parks that Gage finally learned something about the boss. Butch hadn't been doing as much psycho, but they'd been drinking a whole lot more, and seeing someone as smart as Butch fall prey to addiction felt like a waste of potential. Plus, it made him a little sad. He approached Butch one night after planning how to take the last park and told them what was on his mind, how they needed to get that shit out of their system and the like, and to his surprise, they agreed

Watching Butch go through withdrawal was somehow worse. They were having a massively horrible time, and about two weeks in, Gage found em laying on the floor inside the grille, full on sobbing into one of the rugs, and when he asked if they were alright, he ended up spending a solid hour or two awkwardly sitting next to them while they had a complete mental breakdown and told him all about their wife and her death, Kellogg's supposed murder and abduction of their daughter, and everything they'd been dealing with because of it

Gage managed to track down some medicine after that to help get everything out of their system, told himself it was 'cause he needed to boss in top shape and that he didn't want to sit through something like that again if he could help it. Once Butch was cleaned up and dealing with things in a healthier way, they started opening back up and was significantly more friendly towards Gage, which he appreciated. Turned out that with Gage's pragmatism and Butch's meticulousness, they not only got along, but worked well together. Butch taught Gage how to play chess, and Gage was open to listening whenever Butch had something weighing on their mind, even if he had no idea how the fuck to respond half the time

Them ending up together made sense in retrospect, but at the time it was more of a "well, now we're here, what the fuck are we gonna do now?" kinda situation. Gage managed to track his feelings back to when he found em on the floor, and Butch traced theirs back to the first time they showed him how chess works. Butch eventually got tired of dancing around the subject and sat him down and they talked it through, but it was. Really awkward

The whole process from them first meeting to agreeing to be together took a solid two years, since taking over the whole park took so damn long, and establishing the gangs in the commonwealth while keeping them all satisfied took even longer. But they did it

Plus, Gage takes a real shining to Lily once they get her back, even though he swears he's not really a fan of kids. She doesn't count, though

A New Overboss

(I mean, that news spread around the Commonwealth about some lucky hotshot becoming the new Overboss so fast. I didnt even leave Nuka World the entire time until Shank had me do a raiding. Then i missed my boyfriends and girlfriends and one good boi then i got attacked by Preston like this. Sticks and stones may break my bones yadayadayada. I was so offended and hurt lol. I was planning to fuck the raider gangs in the first place. I came back to dismiss Gage into the new and only raider outpost i made and leave him there forever so i know he was still alive. I had a soft spot for him. I went back to get Piper bec I knew she'd get a kick out of the whole liberating the slaves thing and write a great story about it too. But goddamn Preston. Way to pull back your punches, there. That's enough out of you, Garvey. This is why you never became bae to me in any of my playthroughs lol.)

----------------------------------

Preston first laughs because that's crazy! Seriously? How fucking bad ass. Even he knows how to appreciate good skills. Well good luck to whoever they are. Nuka World will be hell to conquer. Even the Minutemen couldn't help the traders back in its heyday. He didn't even tell Sole about it because it was a lost cause. Maybe they can do it if they had bigger numbers. After all, they still had the Brotherhood to worry about.

Preston shakes off the news.

Then, practically days later, the scouts, traders and provisioners all report growing activity from the Nuka World, Preston begins to take things seriously. Can't have them starting to run around the Commonwealth. Need to report to the General. This was becoming a serious issue. Where the fuck was the General anyway? Haven't seen no hide nor hair in weeks.

Then an attack against a settlement or an occupation of one of the possible settlements Preston had eyes on happens. Quick, ruthless and precise. Construction done in just days. Unlike most raider outposts this one seems heavily fortified and almost entirely self sufficient. Settlements around begin asking for help against attacks.

Where the goddamned hell is the General?

No one knows. Her last companion cant really say, guilt and worry in their faces. (Unless it was Dogmeat, who's just wandering about aimlessly, lonely and missing Sole.)

Then the scout reports, "Sir, the General had been seen during the invasion. They seemed to be... in the front lines."

Preston dismisses the scout. No way. There was simply no way a person so selfless and loving (even if sometimes downright crazy and ruthless) as his General would turn their back to the Commonwealth and undo all the good they've done.

Preston leads the counterattack himself, unable to wait for his General any longer. It is almost useless and impenetrable. But he's seen enough to know the handiwork and meticulousness of it all. He didn't want to believe what he'd heard the first time the news came back to him. He was here to prove them wrong but now there was no denying it.

The Overboss was Sole.

Of course goddammit. Who else could survive that fucking sadistic maze? Who else could be so charismatic and powerful enough to keep the entire three raider gangs from boiling over into a massacre?

Preston goes back home, weary and heartbroken, to where he knows Sole can find him. Because he knows Sole. They always come back home.

Sole does come back, in a few days, looking not entirely so different, no worse than wear. A man with an eye patch stands back behind her warily, seemingly confused and also upset. No one bothers to talk to him either. Maybe not yet so welcome. He is virtually an unknown.

There was enough tension and jealousy within their ranks as Sole's closest companion and partners. No one is truly ever welcome. Besides Valentine, Codsworth, Dogmeat or Deacon, perhaps.

For all of them, meeting Sole is one of the greatest days in their lives. Sole brought back meaning to their lives, giving them nobler causes. All of them would die for Sole, no questions asked. But by the end of the day their main concern was only if the other will be good enough to have Sole's back. Sole isn't a bad judge of character (most of the time) so they try to be at least not be hostile to the new guy. All of them had been new to group, once upon a time.

Everyone crowds on Sole, without much question of where they had been and what have they been doing, so happy and excited to see them alive and well. Preston hangs back. Everyone else is offering their company. Ready to go with Sole and do whatever they might need. Dogmeat is happiest of them all.

Sole is more or less alone when Preston makes a move toward them. Sole is giving Dogmeat loving attention, looking just like a person who had not just sentenced the entire Commonwealth to death. They look carefree, even.

The patch eyed man remains nearby, scoping the area with an alert glint in his eye, a scowl on his face. Preston ignores him. He knows who he was. Porter Gage. It is Sole he wants to talk to.

They finally notice him and smile so lovingly.

"Preston! No settlement quests for now, I hope! Just got back after all." They chuckle to themselves.

But instead Preston, face grave and voice all steel. "What do you want? Did you really think I wouldn't find out about what you were doing?"
