Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance."

I'm your huckleberry (Tombstone 1993) (Doc Holliday X Reader)

Six people from the past discover you unconscious and alone in the blistering heat and offer help but it was their help that let you meet the most amazing man you've ever met. John Henry "Doc" Holliday. *I am the one who took the picture. The cover. When I was on a cross-country road trip, we went to Tombstone, Arizona and I took that picture*Complete
