Sinners: Fellowship & Love [WIP]

a Remmick origin story, Remmickxfemale oc
set in 1660's Scotland, Remmick and his wife are Irish immigrants living in a small Irish community in the Highlands of Scotland. Life is quiet and serene on the Highlands until a journey must be made to a nearby town for some very needed livestock. On the way back, things go a bit south and Remmick must navigate his way home, uncovering a secret and attempting to reconnect with his wife.

As a huge fan of the 2025 film "Sinners," and as someone who respects the original fabric of the story, I came up with these ideas based on information provided by the film. the character of Remmick is a very complex one, who isn't shown to be so much a liar as he is someone who uses specific truths to manipulate others.

mild spoilers for sinners: When Remmick shows up at the home of Bert and Joan, the second thing he says upon seeing the couple to get them to empathize with him is "they took my wife... I'm a coward, ain't I?" when this doesn't get them to budge, he notices the klansman's hood sitting on a dresser nearby and changes tactics to money, "they tried to rob me, but they didn't get all of it. here you can have it, just please don't let them hurt me no more." I believe he is telling a partial truth with the first statement- he did have a wife, who was in fact killed at some point and he does feel like a coward because of it.
spoilers for sinners: when Remmick and Sammy are having a standoff at the end of the film, Remmick says after the prayer "these words were forced upon me by the men who stole my father's land," which gives me a small clue for timeline, around the 1650's British military force was being used on Irish land to confiscate and redistribute farmlands from native Irish people, with a ton of Irish people left without a place to go they dispersed throughout the United Kingdom and greater Europe, which is how I landed on location. I do not own the character of Remmick thank you and enjoy.
