A Question of Timing -

I've been thinking a lot lately about the timing of my Sole Survivor's story, both in terms of the game events and in terms of what comes after. And all that thinking got me curious, in turn, about how other folks envision everything playing out.

We have polls, so I figured, you know, why not just ask?

For the sake of the poll, we're talking specifically about the time between the Sole Survivor thawing/waking up in the future (the start of the quest "Out of Time") and the game-canon completion of their business with the Institute (the end of the quest "The Nuclear Option" or "Nuclear Family").

This is strictly about headcanon / personal canon here; there's no need to boot up a save and check the date on the Pip-Boy, as the poll is simply asking how long you imagine/feel these events took to play out. You are absolutely welcome and encouraged to guesstimate/go by vibes if you don't have a firm timeline in mind.

If your personal canon diverges slightly from the game canon but has a roughly equivalent beginning and/or end point, it's A-Okay to vote as normal in the poll 👍.

If your personal canon is so drastically different that it has no beginning and/or end point that is even vaguely equivalent to those in canon, please select the "Diverging Story / Show Results / Nuance / Bald" option.

If you have multiple personal canons/headcanons, please vote in accordance with whichever one you'd consider your main or favorite. If you have no main/favorite, vote according to your most recently developed personal canon.

As is always the case with my posts, I'd absolutely love to hear your thoughts, clarifications, and other additions in the comments! <3

In your personal headcanon, how much time passed between the day that your Sole Survivor defrosted and the completion of the main quest?

A: Less Than / Up To 1 Month

B: More Than 1 Month, Less Than / Up To 2 Months

C: More Than 2 Months, Less Than / Up To 4 Months

D: More Than 4 Months, Less Than / Up To 6 Months

E: More Than 6 Months, Less Than / Up To 9 Months

F: More Than 9 Months, Less Than / Up To 1 Year

G: More Than 1 Year, Less Than / Up To 1.5 Years (18 Months)

H: More Than 1.5 Years (18 Months), Less Than / Up To 2 Years

I: More Than 2 Years, Less Than / Up To 3 Years

J: More Than 3 Years, Less Than / Up To 5 Years

K: More Than 5 Years

Diverging Story / Show Results / Nuance / Bald

Regarding DLC Stories -

I've also been wondering about when folks time the out-of-Commonwealth stories (Far Harbor & Nuka-World) in their personal canons. Does your Sole Survivor explore and resolve those stories before completing the business of the main quest, or are those Later Problems?

Unfortunately, as we're limited to one poll per post/post addition here, the follow-up polls must be added as reblogs/additions.

NSFW Hancock HCs

➼ Word Count » 0.4k ➼ Warnings » Knife Play, Bondage, MDNI ➼ Genre » NSFW, Romantic

Hancock is 100% a switch and is down to do whatever with whoever. My man ain't picky.

He likes to take things a bit slower at the very start of the relationship so that he can get a feel for what the boundaries and feelings are, but he'll quickly begin to speed it up once he's found 'em.

He loves running his knife across your bare skin. There’s something so mesmerizing about watching the sharp tip glide gently over your cheek. It gives him such a power trip and he loves the look of submission glaze over your eyes.

On the flip side, however, he loves it when you wrap your fingers around his throat and throw him onto the nearest surface. He adores it when you grab him and pin him down roughly.

He immediately gets horny whenever you get a good shot at someone. Something about the confidence and the violent nature of it all never fails to get him to grab your hands and pull you tightly against him.

He loves seeing you in his clothes. Something about seeing his coat draped over your shoulders makes him want to leave kisses over your entire body.

Hancock has a thing for blindfolding you and gently tracing his calloused fingers over every scar and blemish you could possibly have. He loves being able to focus all of his attention on these areas, and he especially likes seeing you squirm at the sensation.

His eyes are always filled with an almost obsessively adoring way whenever you're even slightly in control.

Sometimes when your fucking he'll lick your cheek.

Hickies are a must with him. He'll cover you in them, he doesn't care. If you were to ever give some to him, though, he'd be the happiest ghoul in Goodneighbor.

He loves cradling your face in his hands and making out with you, especially after the more dangerous quests.

His favorite position has got to be doggy style. There's something about tying your hands behind your back and pounding into you mercilessly that makes him feel so animalistic.

The one thing he'll never do is include any drugs with sex. He's heard way too many stories of people getting hurt because of mishaps like that and always makes sure you're both sober before initiating anything.

Aftercare with him doesn't entail very much. He prefers just laying there with you in his arms as you two share a blunt and talk. He always looks forward to the vulnerability of this moment and couldn't ever ask for anything more.

[Deacon Idolizes You]

➼ Word Count » 0.6k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ Summary » Headcanons based on how Deacon treats you once Idolized.

He might actually disappear for a minute after he opens up to you about Barbara. Having his whole past spread out on the table for you to see is incredibly uncomfortable for him and he's gonna need some time to get used to having all that open to you.

Sometimes you’ll just find him sleeping on your couch. If he needs to get away for a minute he’ll go crash at your place for a bit. He almost hopes that you’ll show up and so the two of you could talk or something. It always makes him feel so much better when you do.

He somehow got a hold of matching leather jackets for you both to wear and always does his best to incorporate them into his disguises.

Deacon will bring you pre-war board games and ask if you could teach him the rules because the instructions had been burned decades ago and he desperately wants to learn.

He's actually really interested in fashion and will gladly put together a great outfit for you whether you asked for it or not. He also just loves sitting in a room and brainstorming disguise ideas together.

He's really curious about a lot of things from before the war and you'll find that he likes to randomly drag you into different areas and ask you tons of questions. He's especially interested in cartoons and other forms of media and is constantly questioning why they existed or what they usually had on them

He's weirdly good at spas? Massages, and manicures, and all that. He'd give you one if you asked/felt comfortable enough.

He loves sneaking around Goodneighbor or Diamond City with you and watching any fights or drama that happens throughout the day. It reminds you of when you used to watch reality TV shows back before the war and he always has the best comments.

He likes doing graffiti with you on random buildings in the Commonwealth. He’s actually really good at art but refuses to utilize that talent, instead, he just draws stick figures everywhere.

The two of you spent a day disguised as the other to see how long you can get away with it. (it wasn't very long)

He’ll ask if it could be possible for the two of you to set up small safe houses in some of your settlements for any passing synths, although, he always ends up making them look like man caves than temporary homes.

He'll leave these random lanterns all over the place with little jokes or messages carved underneath them. He does this so that if he ever disappears for a minute, you can go look at those to remind yourself that he doesn't hate you, he just needs a bit of time.

Whenever you’re on a mission, he’ll give you both the worst codenames on purpose to annoy you.

He once tried to see what the most outrageous lie you both could pull off was. Needless to say, you both ended up getting in a lot of trouble with Dez because it was 'irrelevant to your mission’.

He's great when he's around, and still loves you when he leaves. In all seriousness, it's been so long since he's had a connection like this with someone, and is so incredibly grateful for you and all that you do for him. He'll show his appreciation in whatever way he can, just understand that you've got to be patient with him while he gets used to it all.
