A living fallout blog yay :D if you need a prompt, what about just some soft comfort from the bois after the whole institute ordeal?

(i didn’t know if this was about the rooftop scene w father or blowing the institute to smithereens so i did the latter hope thats ok)

It was the first mushroom cloud they’d seen in 200 years, and yet something about being the cause of this one made it a lot worse.

Sole stood on the balcony of the tower watching their handiwork wash over the wasteland below them, and while they should have felt satisfaction, happiness from their victory, something in them was empty.  Their son, their real son, was gone.  By their own hand.

Their companion walked up beside them, placing a comforting hand on their shoulder.  He knew what they were going through, and he did his best to help.

“It’s really over, isn’t it?”

--

H: “Yeah...it is.”  Hancock wasn’t sure what else to say; he couldn’t imagine what Sole was feeling right now, but he wasn’t going to just stand there and watch their world fall apart.  “Hey, look at me.”  He maneuvered around them so he was facing them, placing a hand on their cheek to make them meet his eyes.

“You’re a hero, sunshine.  You just took down the biggest bad the Commonwealth’s ever seen.”

“Hancock,” they started, but he wasn’t going to let them get their “but” in.

“I know it hurts.  God, I know it hurts, but you went through hell to get here.  You won.  That’s a lot more than any of those Institute lackeys get to say right now.”

“And I did that.  I--”

“Yeah, you did.  You managed to topple the Institute, fix the Commonwealth, and, probably most impressive, somehow love my crazy ass and still came out the other side.  They caused this, all you did was respond.  They were making slaves, love.  They treated people like things.  And you shut it down.  You haven’t lost everything, especially not since I’m standin’ right here.  Alright?”

P: “Are you okay?”  It was his first instinct; he could see the look on their face, and he remembered having a similar one after Quincy.  It wasn’t his place to compare the two, but he could at least empathize.

“I don’t know, Preston.  We won, but...”  He wanted to let them finish.  Let them vent.  But they just stood there, staring at the hole where CIT used to be, and he could see the gears in their head turning as they tried to gather their thoughts.  He waited, and he listened.

“I just wanted to find my son.  That was all I ever wanted.  Now look at me.  I just set off a nuke in the middle of CIT.”  They turned to look at him, visibly upset, and all he could think to do was pull them in.  They held each other for a time, Preston not knowing what to say to comfort them any more than this.  Words weren’t his strong suit, but he could do this.

They parted after a small forever, and Preston finally found his voice.

“You’ve done a lot for a lot of people.  You’ve pretty much single-handedly turned the Commonwealth around.  This doesn’t make you a monster.  Whoever that was down there, he wasn’t your son.  You did nothing wrong here today.”

--

They stared at him for a while, processing his advice.

“I hate it when you’re right, you know.”

They smiled at each other, pressed their foreheads together (as best they could, with the hat) before giving chaste kisses between them.

This hurt might never go away, not completely.  But damn if he didn’t help.

I just stumbled upon y’alls blog and was very confused at first (( “wait, where’s everybody else??”)) but now that I get it I wanted to compliment your writing!! Thank you for giving these boys the attention they deserve❤️

screams idk which mod this is directed to but i will say THANK YOU on their behalf!  these boys will get EVEN MORE ATTENTION NOW!!!

[garvey-and-hancock]

damn, this blog still active? After a year or two? I used to be a mod tho I only posted like 3 times lmao, and now I'm obsessed with fallout 4 again

this is definitely old but i might as well clear out all the non-prompt messages now that The Renaissance is happening

we are LIVE.  and im in a constant state of obsessed with fallout 4.  hope u have been well since u sent this and we unintentionally ignored it 

[garvey-and-hancock]

so, it’s been some time since this blog has updated (almost two years, wow.)  i debated making this post but i saw that a decent number of people are still following, and some might be wondering whatever became of us.

i can’t speak for the other mods, but i can say that i myself left this site as a whole for almost a year when The Ban happened.  and before that, i was having some serious burnout.  but i like this blog.  i want it to live again.

if anyone has some desire to see this blog up and running again, shoot me some prompts.  and maybe (since it looks like i’m the last one still here) i’ll recruit more mods in the future.

The aftermath of the suicider, you choose if sole survives or not

i COULD make it sad but im having a good day so far SO,

hank: he had carried them back to goodneighbor as fast as he could, toppling over a few times. sole was severely hurt, he knew this, but he also knew that they weren’t going to die.

not on his watch.

he gathered up as much help as he could manage from his friends in the town. daisy ushered him out of the room despite his protests, and fahrenheit was there to greet him. they both kept him distracted, for now.

after a while, a doctor came out and told him the news;

“they’ll be fine. it’s far worse than it looks, but they’ll be fine.”

he almost started weeping right then and there.

pres: he carried sole bridal style to diamond city since they weren’t that far to begin with. some guards caught sight of him and who he was carrying, and gave him backup as well as lending him a hand on getting sole to the nearest doctor.

piper had just come out after hearing a lot of ruckus and watched in horror as preston hurriedly carried sole to the doc across from her place. the doc took them in, and told preston he would have to wait. piper decided to take him in, give him a cold drink, and maybe see if she could get some questions out of him.

after several hours, they both decided to see if there was an update, and they were greeted by a smiling doctor.

“they’re going to be just fine,” he said.

and preston really couldn’t stop himself from crying.~mod jazz

The boys reacting to Sole shoving them out of the way of a mutant suicider?

🙃hank: pure, utter horror. he had heard the beeping, and he knew sole had, too. what he didn't expect was for the bastard to pop up from behind, and what he saw coming was the least expected of all.sole had, with all their might, essentially picked him up and chucked him behind the nearest cover. he bonked his head on a rock and was stunned for a minute before he heard the explosion. then his stomach dropped.pres: it was supposed to be a normal errand run. hit up diamond city, get some supplies, then head back home. that was it. sole was behind some sandbags with him as they peeked over to open fire upon the super mutants that had ambushed them (more like they walked into the hostile turf but, they had been too engrossed in a conversation to have had noticed)then he heard it.that cursed beeping.and it was close.sole shot preston a horrified expression, before they shoved him as hard as they could to some cover across from them. he barrel-rolled uncomfortably on the hard ground, getting several scrapes and losing his hat along the way. before he could stop being dizzy, he heard the giant explosion. his ears couldn't stop ringing.~mod jazz

legend says that if ur awake at the strike of midnight:41 a.m. u might just get some blog activity

[garvey-and-hancock]

Okay so the thought of sole doing something just normal but the boys find it so agonizingly cute they nearly melt makes me so happy so I was wondering the boys reacting to sole being cute

activity on this blog? in 2k17? its more likely then u think.

hank: sole was just chatting away with some settlers, cracking jokes when they could, laughing with the other, in general just being chill. it made his heart swell all of a sudden and thr ghoul just couldn’t help but grin. he waited til sole was done talking before he approached and wrapped an arm over their shoulder.“y'know,” he started, keeping his grin, “anything you do could light up this world more than irradiated snack cakes. you’re a real charm, you know that?”

pres: this boy. he always seemed distracted, like he had another patrol to do, had to check up on the perimeters, his usual schtick.

but he saw sole chatting away and helping sturges repair some holes in a wall of one of the sanctuary houses, how they laughed as they hammered some nails into place, their smile. it made his chest feel all fluttery, and the man had to turn his gaze for a few seconds to regain himself. he just couldn’t hide that smile of his when he went to join in on the conversation.

(ill do more in the morn. some1 remind me 2 tag this tomorrow lmao)

take your picks, everybody! who will be the main protag of this horrifying adventure?

[garvey-and-hancock]

them boys react to sole asking to stim on their hand please? (and thank you!)

preston:

he doesn’t mind, really. he asks if they want the glove on or not, and if they say they want it off, he obliges. if they say no, he doesn’t mind it, really.

the two are often on patrol anyway, when sole isn’t out of town, so they spend their time together a lot, and exchange ideas of how to stim. preston likes rolling old marbles (or any small, circular object, really) inbetween both his hands, and if sole wanted to try, he’d let them borrow what they wanted from his li’l collection.

hancock:

he’s let them do that in the past, once. he really liked how it felt on his rough skin, and was happy to let them do that again. he would roll his sleeve up especially for them, too.

if they ever got tired of doing that, he’d hand them old mentats containers that he kept around. they’re fun to open and close, he’d tell them, like clicking a pen in and out, and generally smelled nice, like grapes. he’d join sole in doing that repeatedly, and would laugh away with them at the joy it’d bring.

[garvey-and-hancock]

how would My Boys react to a sole with adhd who touches Everything and chews things that maybe should not be chewed

Honestly Me Too

preston:

this boy would see sole doing this and would have to resist the urge to join them. he knows they’ve got the same thing as him, but he’s never seen it as a problem. he’s got ways to work around, and he thinks it’s time he shares his secrets with them.

he confides in them one evening when he stumbles upon them chewing on some old plastic toy. he immediately swipes it away and, when sole tries to protest, presents them with a different option; a clean plastic bottle cap. those were always the best to chew on, he told them, especially if you had plenty and knew when to spit them out if they began to fall apart. having pics of that stuff in your mouth wasn’t good for you, he’d say, and show sole his stash of clean plastic caps.

they share the stash and, if they ever find any while travelling, take them to pres so he can clean it right.

hancock:

honestly, he joins sole in touching everything too. he likes doing it, likes feeling the weird textures of everything, just like them. he often touches his own face to feel how the skin is. sure he may not like how he looks, but he really likes how he feels. he really digs mentats, not really for their taste or how they make one feel, but for how nice and chewy they were. he especially likes the grape kind, just because he always felt they were chewier than the rest.

when he finds sole chewing on an old straw that was in the falling apart diner they were in, he made an off comment about that being bad hygiene and that he would suggest trying some gum instead (the radioactive part of it didn’t strike him at the time. it’s not like it ever bothered him, honestly)

eventually they found a solution together, it being a baby’s teething ring they found when they went to a superduper mart. sole seemed pleased with it, so much so that hank wanted one too.

[garvey-and-hancock]

Hey I don't know if you guys are still doing reaction things, but if you are, how do you think the sunshine husbands would react to the sole surviver basically going on a suicide mission?? Also I love this blog and it gives me life!

preston:

he’d know that it was inevitable, really. he didn’t want them to go, because he was afraid that they wouldn’t be coming back, no matter how reassuring they tried to be.

he would hug them tight, tell them how much he cares about them, and wish them so much luck that it’d almost hurt (probably in the form of really tight hugs; that boy cares okay) he wanted to come with to help them, but, he couldn’t. he felt bad about that, but they understood, and told him they’d be back in no time. and they were right, too!

hancock:

honestly he’d be right beside sole the entire time. he’s that kinda cheesy “we ride together we die together” kinda guy (pls 2007 internet comment kill me now) but he’d go, willing to risk his own life to make sure theirs is safe.

he’d hug them tight too though, just to make sure. maybe joke about a good luck kiss, but still, he’d worry his ass off if he’s separated from sole. he’s happy when they’re back together, though, knowing that they’re safe and sound.
