A short story based off of Billy Walker's song The Lawman
They sent me out from Santa Fe to try and find his trail
They think that I'm the only one who can bring him back to jail
This star says I'm a lawman this gun has seen me through
And though my heart is heavy I've got a job to do
You see he's such a proud man who never learned to crawl
But a good man turns gun slinger he's the meanest man of all
He killed the US Marshall and for that he's gonna pay
And I'm the lonely lawman who's on his trail today
There was a time he fought for true and on the side of right
Until the only girl he loved was killed one faithful night
I know his heart was shattered as he turned the barren sod
And laid away her body come ending into God
Then he vowed a revenge to those who took her life
And every notch upon his gun a tear shed for his wife
But revenge is like wild fire sweepin' through the wood
It turns reason into ashes and it burns out on the good

Godless Lands - Whitey Winn x Reader (F)
THOMAS BRODIE SANGSTER FANS COME HERE --- La Belle had always been a happy home. That was, until the accident. (Y/n) McNue, daughter of the town's Sheriff, grew up in the dust and warmth of a place where everyone knew your name - and your business. It wasn't much, but it was enough. Then the mine collapsed, and the men of La Belle were all lost in one day. In the wake of that loss, the women clawed their way through grief and grit, piecing together a life from the ruins. Their home feels empty. Their lives were changed forever. Now it has been two years, and a new storm brews. Frank Griffin - outlaw, killer, devil in a preacher's coat - is riding again. And Roy Goode, the man who betrayed him, is bleeding his way across the desert... straight toward La Belle. As old ghosts rise and new gunfire shatters the dust, (Y/n) must reckon with the deepest truths of who she is, what she's lost, and who she might still become. Because even the strongest faith can't always save you. Not here. Not in Godless Lands. ----- EEE this is a less done fanfic but it follows the plot of the Netflix Miniseries, Godless, with a little friends to lovers moment with (Y/n) McNue and our Deputy Sheriff, Whitey Winn. If using your own name for (Y/n) or creating an OC in your head, I'd recommend giving it a southern twang so you can really immerse into these character's westernness 😌 I do warn you about the grammar that you are going to encounter. It is meant to be this way, as I'm really trying to embrace the wild Wild West 😉 YEEHAWComplete

St. Patrick's Luck
Wyatt Kelly never had an easy life, at least in his opinion his life was never easy. Wyatt is 16 years old and lives on the streets, sleeps in alley way and manages to find odd jobs around time to pay for the very occasional new shirt or pair of pants from the second hand shop and his meager dinners every night. Now, you might be wondering why in the hell a 16 year old boy is living on the streets instead of living at home with a loving family for at least another two years? The answer is simple yet sad; his family which consisted of his mum, dad, an older brother and a younger sister all died in a house fire late one night while he was staying the night at a friend's house. Yes, he was taken into a foster home but he ran as far away from that home as he could after being beaten every day for a month because his foster father couldn't handle a 'fag' living in his home but he wouldn't send Wyatt back to the foster care system because he liked the money he received every month for keeping him. When he left he managed to leave the state he had lived in his entire 16 years, he escaped to two states from his own before settling where he was; San Diego California and he was originally from Salem, Oregon. He wasn't thrilled of being so far away from his families graves but he couldn't stand being in the foster home for however he would remain there. Wyatt plans on returning home when he turns 18 years old, only two more years before he can return and visit his family when he feels the need or would like to.Complete
