vulpes inculta
sfw
- terrible partner at first. genuinely. especially if you're a male and not Legion affiliated. talks down to you, even if you're helping the Legion
- as much as I like to believe in my AUs of this man being convinced out of the Legion, I don't realistically see it happening, even as his partner. the closest you could get is if Caesar dies and maybe you talk the Legate out of NV. even then, I don't see Vulpes as someone who would want to live on the Strip. if he really cares about you, I could see him moving closer, though.
- speaking of, it takes forever to get this man to notice you, let alone for him to ever act vulnerable around you. Vulpes has been watching you, carefully, and he's noticed his own fondness for you. if you're male, he tries to convince himself he just thinks you'd be 'such a strong Legion soldier,' and as a result treats you like he does his subordinates—which is to say, not kindly, especially because he's projecting. if you're female, he's a bit more protective; he's convinced that he can turn you into the perfect wife, you just have to see things from his side. maybe when the Legion takes over Hoover Dam.
- Vulpes is waaaay more touch starved than he lets on. he'll never admit to it, though
- whether you're a brown hair/eyes Vulpes truther or a blonde hair/blue eyes Vulpes truther, I imagine Vulpes as a tad insecure. there's a reason he doesn't take his darkened goggles and mask off often, but as his partner you eventually become one of those people.
- he'll die before he admits it, but if you two got close and you ever called him your "red fox," "fox boy," etc., he'd melt just a little. if you did it beforehand, he'd probably threaten you to never call him that again—but even he can't hide the way he still got a little flustered (and what little showed on his face was tenfold in his mind)
- he calls you Latin pet names; "amica mea" (my darling/my love), "carrisima," (my dearest), or "dulcis" (sweetie)
- I think Vulpes has a somewhat low alcohol tolerance—things like alcohol, cigarettes, chems, etc., are prohibited in the Legion. although it's true some higher members have been seen with these items, Vulpes seems like a pretty by-the-book guy. I don't think he's a total lightweight, though—he has to drink to blend in on some of his missions, whether they be to the Strip or a town bar. but I don't think he's downing whiskey, either.
- Vulpes can do a slow dance, but casual dancing? he's terrible at it. genuinely laughable. usually on recon missions where he has to be on the Strip, he'd sit back. depending on whether you're the type to join in on the parties on the Strip or not, that might change very soon, and he's incredibly embarrassed if it does.
nsfw!!
- Vulpes doesn't enjoy quickies much, but at the beginning of the relationship between you two, it's the most you'll get. once he starts opening up and trusting you, though, he'll spend hours worshipping your body and memorizing every reaction. he's an attentive lover.
- I have a strong feeling he enjoys bondage—tying you up, to be clear.. but if you ever managed to get the upper hand on him, well, maybe he'd let it slide. just this once.
- I don't think Vulpes is a big fan of public sex. the sight of you writhing and moaning beneath him is his, and his alone. he's not so much concerned about getting caught as he is keeping you to himself
- adding on to his low-ish alcohol tolerance, Vulpes gets incredibly needy when he's drunk. he's already touch starved, and you just look so perfect, god, he needs a taste. this is one of very few times you have a chance to be on top. usually this ends up with waking up the next morning, both of you confused until the memories start to hit you. he'll deny that these instances ever occurred, but you know better
- he has a thing for you riding him. you're almost never in control, but for brief moments, you think you might. but he loves watching that thought leave your eyes when he grabs your hips and forces you on him harder, faster.
- he loves a bit of breath play. he makes sure you never pass out, but you swear you lose consciousness for a few seconds sometimes. your face just gets so red, and he relishes in knowing he has that control over you
- huge somnophiliac. the two of you would have a system in place (maybe a necklace, or certain color underwear) you wore to let him know it was okay. he would never do it without your consent, though. part of his fun is knowing you're willingly spending time with him— one of the most notorious members of the Legion. one of the things Vulpes loves most is knowing that he can use you, watching the way your face contorts ever-so-slightly, listening to your sleepy moans. the knowledge that he can cum in you as many times as he wants, and you're too poor and helpless to do anything about it but accept the fact he's marked you from the inside out ♡♡
arcade gannon
sfw
- if you're trans, he will discreetly use his leverage (possibly yours as well) to get you a discount on any surgery you may need for your transition
- he is one of the first people you tell, and he is supportive ofc! not sure if he'd stay together with you if you were mtf. if you were socially transitioned before you got together as a ftm, he possibly is already harboring feelings for you by the time you get to transition physically. naturally, he'd also assist with getting you hormone blockers or replacers if possible in the desolate Wasteland of the Mojave
- chances are, you had to ask him out—or he asked you out with that sarcastic, dry wit of his.
- he is always there to patch you up, even if he's exhausted and definitely done with with your antics
nsfw
- power bottom if there ever was one. you know his bossy ass is telling you what and where to go.
- sometimes when he's patching you up, well.. he just can't help how handsome you look. he's scolding you about how dumb it was to try taking on 3 deathclaws at the same time, but he gets distracted at the sight of you shirtless and bandaged up..you two end up tangled in the sheets—bed rest on doctor's orders, right?
- I don't imagine his sex drive is actually that high, but he's also not incredibly experienced
- as bratty to bossy as he can act, he melts and tends to be a bit noisy
butch deloria
sfw
- a bad partner at first, but not intentionally—he does things like talk over you by accident; a bad habit from being the head honcho of the Tunnel Snakes, or just from being a recovering douchebag. but Butch really does love you, and he doesn't always realize he's doing it.
- he'll never forget the day you saved his mom from the radroaches. ever since, every time you encounter radroaches, he tries to be brave and kill them himself to prove to you that he's strong & tough. it doesn't always work, but when he does you always reassure him you're proud of him
- he keeps 2 small photos on him, always—one of him, young and with his mom.. and a more recent one of either just you, or you and him
- in general, he just loves when you compliment him. tell him how good his hair looks, or how his aim is getting better and better. he'll act cocky and say he knows, but the faint flush on his cheeks tells the real story
- although he spends time in the bar when you're not around, he doesn't drink a whole lot. not after seeing what his mother went through.
- he offers you free haircuts because he was a barber, sure—but also because he believes the act can be intimate. he loves running his hands through your hair and helping you take care of it.. he's so happy to give you the haircut you want, and he's so glad it's him who has the honor
- when you went into the coma, it took Butch a full day to be able to eat, or drink, or sleep. how could he, he thought, when you were his world, and you were hurt—possibly so bad that there was no coming back
- he'll never admit it, but cuddling with you is one of his favorite things to do on a quiet day. especially when you fall asleep in his arms. he's a sucker for how peaceful you look. he finds the contrast funny—how you were taking down deathclaws with that ferocious look in your eyes, to peacefully sleeping in his arm, your body molding and leaning into his
- if he ever makes it to vegas for any reason, whether that be because you become the courier or because he takes a vacation, it's a canon event that he HAS to meet the Kings. he loves them, and stays with them for a bit. I headcanon Butch becomes good friends with Sergio (the Kings' hairdresser).
- he enjoys dancing. he can be a bit clumsy and dorky with it, but he knows that you merely find it endearing, and that's given him the strength to be so bold and cocky about it
- he won't admit it, but he's an absolute sucker for praise, both in and out of the bedroom. you like the way he did his hair today? it's just like that the next day.
- he will pretend to hate it, but if you call him "butchy," he absolutely loves it.
- he loves when you reassure him that he's yours, and you're his—again, he won't admit to his insecurities. but it makes him so comforted when you tell him that he's the only one for you
- more on that note, he actually dislikes if/when you, or other people in the wasteland objectify you. tell him he owns you? he will reply with the notion that you're not something to be owned. someone refers to you as his pretty doll/toy? he'll gladly tell them that you're his other half instead. he will get himself into fights over this.
- in fact, he'll get into a lot of pointless fist fights for you. he doesn't get jealous very often, but when he does, it's pretty bad. it's only the rare times like these, if any, that he'll go back on his 'objectifying' rule, whether it's in front of others for a show, or later in the bedroom. but, he always clears this up later and reminds you that you are your own person, and his equal (if not more).
- butch is such a yearner, don't even play with me!!! he just yearns in silence.
nsfw
- he's young, and a bit reckless—and, if it's all you two can settle for, he's alright with a little semi public sex
- medium to high sex drive; again, he's young
- he might play around a bit and get into some light knifeplay with Butch's Toothpick—but actually hurting you or cutting into you, he won't do.
- he enjoys some light choking, whether who's being choked is you or him
- has a fantasy where you're his 2nd in command of the Tunnel Snakes and you fawn over him being the leader of the gang—the two of you pretend the Tunnel Snakes are much more powerful than they are and he loves the feel of power it gives him. in fact, the only thing about it he loves more is the fact that you're willing to go along with it. because of course you'd love your "sexy, handsome, charming" leader!
- he loves giving oral—whether it be eating you out or swallowing you whole, he loves it. but nothing beats the rush he gets when he gets to bob your head down on him.
- butch is easily a switch. when's he's on top, him being soft or not is dependent on his mood. when he isn't, you can almost always count on him being a brat. butch is a huge brat. whiny, too.
- he loves any position where he gets to watch how your face moves, or where he gets to make eye contact with you, see that faint flush on your face
- more on the praise—he loves it when you're telling him he's doing a good job. tell him how handsome he looks with sweat forming on his head—you won't be leaving the bedroom 'til the next day (and even then, you'll be limping).
harkness
(spoilers for a quest in fo3—you have been warned!)
sfw
pre-trm
- you're not getting much of a real relationship, if you even get one at all with harkness at this point in his life. he still isn't sure how to feel about his ex-wife. he decides to try not feeling anything.
- he's closed off, he just wants to do his job and serve the people of Rivet City until.. well, he's not really sure what will come next—but he's not particularly keen on thinking about it, either.
- really, he doesn't have much of a personality until after trm, so I don't have much more to say
post-trm (still sfw)
- harkness was confident in himself. and then he learned he was a synth.
- harkness is similar to paladin danse in a lot of ways (romantically, at least). when you confess, he's very taken aback. how could you love him, a machine? what scares him more is that he feels it, too.
- if/when you two move in, harkness assigns someone else to sleep by the armory—probably his second in command, Lara Danvers, and he moves in to your room (probably the one at the Weatherly, I'd imagine)
- harkness has trouble expressing how he feels, but he is learning, and he's doing it with you—a fact he's pretty sure he's happy about.
- harkness is still dedicated to his job defending rivet city, but he'll take a day off here and there to spend with you if you really want it
- I doubt harkness would want to leave rivet city for at least some time post-game, but I do think he might want to move on eventually. maybe the two of you go to vegas, either meet or become the Courier. - harkness opens up after trm. he's not so closed off or cold—well, maybe to other people. but not you. you're the only person who managed to figure out what was wrong with him—and told him, which he's eternally grateful for, even if it hurts.
nsfw
pre-trm
- I don't think harkness does a whole lot. maybe a meaningless fling here or there. not sure if synths feel the need to jack off or not, but under the assumption they do, he does. sometimes. not a whole lot, though. he prefers this over the meaningless flings, though.
post-trm
- harkness is, again, shocked that you want him. you almost have to convince him that you do, in fact, want to do him. when he sees how aroused you are for the first time, he almost has a synthetic heart attack.
- harkness is quick to make his sarcastic, witty quips when you two are intimate. makes him feel a bit more guarded, like everything doesn't have to be serious.
- you asked harkness to use his handcuffs on you. he objected—at first. then he realized how much you liked it. there's a slim chance he'll let you use them on him, (even if you did, there's a good chance he'd be able to break out of them if he tried, but it's the principle).
- harkness is a service top. he's not sure what he wants for himself, but he knows one thing that he wants, and it's to make you as happy, safe, secure, and loved as he can. he'll give you oral for his own pleasure.
- I think on the off chance harkness bottomed, he'd be a power bottom, though. I don't think he'd he particularly harsh—but he also won't be barking on all fours when you start giving him commands.
- harkness has a bit of a brat tamer in him, if he's in the right mood. this is usually only after you've been.. well, a brat. more particularly, it's easier to trigger this side of him if you tried teasing him while he was on shift.
erm, that's all I got.. took like, a week to intermittently write this but it's okay!
