-Inspired from Arsonist's Lullaby from Hozier-
'When I was a man I thought it ended, when I knew love's perfect ache.
But my peace has always depended, on all the ashes in my wake.'
Living as an outlaw in the Wild West, constantly under bounty hunters radars, alone and fighting. Thomas Gill used to be a normal man, he had a family, he had love, he had money, he had a normal life. A slightly reckless kid at the most, but it was the best he was going to get. But soon it started to crumble under him and everything he once loved was ripped from him.
Now a troubled man being hunted down by the law, known for his short temper and crimes. An outlaw, an underdog, a criminal, a nobody.
'All you have is your fire, and the place you need to reach.
Don't you ever tame your demons, but always keep 'em on a leash.'

Honeysuckle and Whiskey. || Micah Bell x OC
Closed-off and rough; mean and unforgiving, uncaring and simply horrible. The apathetic cowboy draws himself no attention, usually. He's always sat around camp, slumped over a table or bent down, elbows on his knees as he cleans his guns or sharpens his knife, carving the one same piece of wood for days. He didn't talk much; he felt himself way too high above the others to even converse-exception being Dutch. That's who Micah Bell was, simply. She couldn't change it. Micah Bell is a threat to anyone that crosses his path, and Melody knows it. So why has she gotten herself so involved with the outlaw? She tried to keep to herself countless of times; he hated her, she wasn't a pure American and that alone should have been enough to draw her away-and yet it simply never did. Maybe it was just a rebound, wanting to feel something after feeling nothing from her horrible, previous partner-similar in many ways to the blonde cowboy-for years. Maybe it was his careless and cocky demeanor she never failed to give a chuckle to. And maybe, it was something more. She was going to figure it out, one way or another. They would; together.
