#also for ur ovw verse :eye:

[widaeux]

vanishout   said   :     “ please, i can get us both out. “

                    talon is practically a prison.     widow is forever chained to it, a servant to command death. she finds no pleasure in kills; she feels nothing from them. perhaps that's the point--the kills bring no pleasure so she's no reason to run on a rampage; the life she leads is fulfilling enough for widowmaker so that she's no reason to disobey. the people there have reasons to be at talon, but widow doesn't. there's no getting out.                     his pleas are, at first, nothing more than pure desperation.     he practically begs, and she has the stomach to turn away for a moment. her attachment to mirage had been undetected; as long as neither got caught, there was no danger. but now he was suggesting something lethal. talon would never let their perfect assassin leave, they'd even built her. if they found out about him, about the conversation they're having right now... mirage would be a dead man. and if she theorized correctly, widow would be the one to pull the trigger.                     "  no,  "     she knows the risks, she knows the costs. it is not worth it. widow's voice is clear and concise--there's no arguing to be had. stern as she may be, there's fear in her voice. talon has taken everything away from her: her freedom, the one she loved, her life. she will not let them take him.     "  they will know i'm gone, and if they know you're a part of it--you will become a target.  "                     she's told him of gérard.     she's told him how it haunts her dearly and not a single night goes by where she doesn't think about it. widow will not have another man to mourn, she will not waste any more time grieving over another. but for a moment, she wants to say 'yes'. she wants to say that she will go with him and leave talon and not come back for all the terrible things it's done to her, but she cannot risk it. she won't risk his life for a wish. she can't.

Gimme that ride or die friendship where the greeting to each other is “die” and the natural response is, “naw, u first”; the one where they get into bar fights bc one or both of them are absolute dipshits and if one of them starts something, u know ur obligated no-thoughts-head-empty-style in getting in there urself no matter how stupid it is. It’s always open season to bully tf outta each other. They’re tired as all hell of the other, but who else is gonna have the ol’ slugger’s back? Lowkey, highkey(?), it’s the sort of, “aw, for fuck’s sake, i’m probably gonna die with your stinking corpse next to me u stupid bastard.” (For the modern verse and deadlock, possibly for the period western verse too i sppose??)

i am always looking for discussions on the nature of religio.n with this character, whether your muse has religious trauma or sincerely practices faith; let me come into ur inbox with that "are you praying again? How raw are your knees"

Adrenaline mistaken for love; ["love is when you’re wrestling for control of the gun and there’s only one bullet left. love is when you grab the knife theyre swinging at you by the blade and look into their eyes and laugh. love is when someone is so obsessed with you they have to kill you."]

Hateships, but we will have to discuss this; Cole doesn't harbor hate for long. He'll dislike you, disagree with you, but can remain cordial. I've yet to knuckle into what he can't swallow. He's less raw and vulnerable at the age of 37-39, so saddling into this will mean either working out histories or writing with a younger variant.

Frenemies is p fun.

Bounty character? meets bounty hunter. They bitch at each other.

And in the reverse: somebody coming after his ridiculously priced bounty, lord help him.

Bounty rivalry?! Bickering over who gets the cash and losing the bastard in the midst of it. Having to work together to get said asshole back.

Escort, recon, undercover or guard mission, hello 👋

Im always down for blackwatch era ocs? Gang era ocs? Hell yea, hell yea.

Kiddo cole is so fckin funny to me, if u want to deal w this pissy punk of a teenager, pls, god, let me know. No weird shit tho, i beg.

the nikk.i la.uda to his jam.es hunt,,,,

Roadtrip threads 

Threads where he’s still in prison. Modern, Period, or an AU where he never accepted BW.

i need more threads of cole acting as or during when he was a gang enforcer (modern)

3 Godfathers/Tokyo Godfathers plot for Modern or Western (and i suppose it can work for Post-Apocalypse or OVW between either him as a runaway or him post-BW). The idea is that the muses find an abandoned child and take up the mantel of trying to take care of it while trying to find their parent. The important part of this is that there is a certain level of underqualification to the muses that results in a sort of chaos. I'm not looking for domestic, fluffy end game for this; the bulk would be on exploring nonconventional guardianship. Trying to do the right thing despite being seemingly built for everything but. The original short story involves the trio all dying by the time they deliver the child to the safe harbor of a town.

Not so much an active wishlist but a possible dynamic for modern: The first responder who found him beneath the farm equipment when he lost his arm, or the physical therapist that helped to fit him with a prosthetic.

would like to explore further ak.ande’s attempt to suggest talon was an option; hell, it’d be an interesting conversation to be had with other characters as well.

Dynamics and threads in which he is still in prison for Modern would be interesting, whether your character is also an inmate, a worker of volunteer, or somebody who is dealing with this man making a getaway.

character specific:

pls,,, if u have a cassidy, lmk, let’s have them fight -- pls, i am so desperate to see them kick each other’s asses
