Part 1 | Part 2
Tumblr media
Aberama and Bonnie’s footsteps echoed over the expanse of hallowed ground, the leaves crunching as they walked through the brisk morning air, causing the hair on the back of their necks to stand on edge. In the distance Tommy and his brothers were standing near a tombstone, the thick fog eerily clearing where he stood as they got closer. He wore his usual dusty black coat and had his peaked cap sitting perfectly atop his head. 
“Now that you all are here, I say it’s about time we get this over with aye?” He asked, his icy gaze piercing Bonnie’s.
“Where are they Tom? Are we bait now?” Aberama asked, frustration lacing his voice.
“No. They told me to meet them here. If you look off to the distance they dug a grave, for us. We won’t go in there though, not today.” He said, taking a drag from his cigarette. 
“Do you have your men positioned behind the trees?” Tommy asked.
“Yes. We have 5 men, not much but they’re good shots.” Bonnie said.
“Good.” Tommy said, turning around and scanning the tree line.
A shot rung out down near the grave suddenly, causing Tommy, his brothers, and Bonnie and Aberama to duck behind the nearby tombstones.
Tommy got his machine gun and loaded it expertly, taking aim where the shot came from as Aberama did the same. Bonnie looked out from the side of the decaying gray stone in front of him, his hands shaking slightly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw John aim for someone to the side of them. John missed the first time, making him have to stop and reload. Without thinking, Bonnie quickly aimed and steadied his breathing, pretending it was similar to hunting for his own sake. He watched the mans movements in the distance like he would a deer, estimating the best angle and time to shoot.
With a single pull of the trigger, the bullet flew through the air and hit the man in the chest as he turned, giving Bonnie an easy shot in the end.
John looked back and nodded at him before aiming again, this time at the three men barreling towards them.
Aberama looked on as they came running and then stuck his finger in the air, moving it in a swift motion, signaling their men to shoot.
Shots rang out seemingly from all sides, as the three men tried to make it past the hail of bullets, but none of them escaped, falling with an audible thud on the near-frozen ground.
A whistle then came from the distance, giving the gruesome scene before them an eerie feeling.
“It’s those damn Billy Boys again... We have to take them out. Wait for my orders.” Tommy said, changing his clips and looking on ahead.
The Billy Boys sang loudly as they marched forward clutching their guns. The rest of the men from the troublesome gang were close behind them.
“I count 4 men from the gang, and 5 Billy Boys...” John said over their singing.
“Alright, Arthur you stay with me, Bonnie you take the right, Aberama you take the left. John you back Bonnie up.” He said, loading the last of the bullets into his machine gun.
With a deep breath Tommy got the unruly lead member, Jimmy McCavern, in his sights and steadied himself like he did in the war.
“In the bleak midwinter...” He muttered quietly under his breath, before taking his shot.
Tumblr media
Back at the camp, Y/N and Esmeralda helped plan the wedding down to the last details. They excitedly talked about the food and music they’ll have and Bonnie’s younger sisters even helped Y/N learn some of the dances they traditionally did.
As the day went on, the sun started poking through the trees in dancing golden beams as they prepared lunch, adjusting the portions since most of the men were gone.
Y/N sat down and looked into the crackling flames of the bonfire, letting the warmth soothe her cold skin.
“You okay love?” Esmeralda said, a concerned look on her face as she stirred the kettle over the flames.
“Yeah...just worried ya know? It’s not easy being here without him.” Y/N said running her finger over the small diamond ring.
“They know what they’re doing. They’ll be back. If not, me and you will just have to go over there ourselves.” She said with a wink. Y/N smiled and gathered some bowls, finally working up a somewhat decent appetite after all the cleaning and wedding preparations earlier in the morning.
She and the remaining people there all sat around, talking about random things and discussing their plans for the wedding decorations and music, some asking her opinion, others excitedly showing her jewelry or clothing she could borrow.
“I’d get to resting if I were you Y/N who knows, they may be home later.” Esmeralda said, draping a blanket over your shoulders. She didn’t realize that she had been going nonstop all day, partly to relish in her excitement, and partly to take her mind off how her fiancé was off fighting in one of Thomas Shelby’s little battles.
“That’s true. I’ll go do that I guess...wake me if you need help.” Y/N said before going into the forest green vardo. Her head hit the pillow and she reluctantly closed her eyes, wanting to sleep but not wanting to wake later in fear of getting her hopes up.
Tumblr media
Shots rang out in the graveyard, the cold air a bleak afterthought as the bullets pierced through the fog and into the men’s flesh.
Tommy ducked as Aberama took over, shooting two of the 5 Billy Boys. Meanwhile Arthur fought a fourth one who ran off towards the tree line. Jimmy struggled to breathe, choking on his own blood on the frozen dirt as the last of the Billy Boys ran towards Bonnie and John.
Bonnie shot quickly, aiming for the mans head, missing just by a hair. John then shot, hitting him in the shoulder. But before Bonnie could finish him off, he felt a sharp pain in his arm, blood trickling down as he stared at the smoking gun a few feet in front of him. John shot him dead while Bonnie retreated behind the tombstone for a moment to assess his wound. It was bleeding pretty badly and he hissed as the pain tore through his arm as he tied some cloth around it.
“Bonnie are you okay?!” His father yelled as he ran over to him and ducking by a nearby tombstone as well.
“Missed an artery but still bleeding pretty bad. He was a terrible shot, I’ll be fine.” He said, winking at his father slightly before checking the clip in his gun. Aberama took a long glance at him and then at the other 4 men who were no doubt doing business with the now-deceased Billy Boys.
They nervously ran towards Tommy who was aiming again and Aberama watched as Arthur stood in a bloody mess over the last of the Billy Boy bodies.
“Take them out.” Tommy yelled.
Aberama signaled again as Bonnie and John shot at the men, their shots piercing through two of them while the other two managed to almost get to Tommy, a bullet whizzing past his head before the pair were shot by the men in the tree line.
As the last of the bodies dropped, an eerie silence fell over Tommy and the rest.
They all worked together, painstakingly dragging the bodies to the grave that was dug, only to be stopped in their tracks by an odd object in the center of the hole.
“Stop! Don’t throw them in. Get back!” Tommy yelled.
“What is it Tom?” Arthur said as he watched his brothers gears turning frantically in his head.
“A bomb.” He said loudly.
“Everyone get back, do we have anything not valuable...and heavy?” He asked the group.
“We have our guns...but...we need them Tom.” John said.
“We can get more. Give them to me, every one of you.” He said.
Aberama reluctantly let his go, as did Bonnie and Tommy’s brothers followed suit.
Tommy gathered them all, including his in his arms and stood near the edge of the grave.
“Everyone go. Now.” He said.
“What? No of course not! Are you mad?” John yelled.
“Fucking go. That’s an order. Now!” He said, his eyes piercing his brothers.
They swallowed hard and took a look at their brother before running towards the fragile shelter of the tombstones with Aberama and Bonnie following.
Tommy took a few steps back, checking the weight of the guns in his arms before closing his eyes and whispering to himself once again, the images of Grace and Charlie playing in his mind before he got a running start, chucking the guns at the center of the hole and desperately running for his life.
In the 30 seconds it took for the guns to make an impact, the ground rumbled around the bodies of the men they killed and eventually erupted in a loud fiery boom, sending their limbs flying and Tommy slamming into the ground, covering his head in a desperate attempt to save himself.
As the dirt, debris, and blood fell down on him, the others watched nearby as the gross mixture rained down on them as well.
Tommy got up slowly, his ears ringing loudly and vision blurring as he held his arm, wincing at the deep cut that came from some of the debris.
“Fucking hell he’s alive...” John said in disbelief. Tommy always found a way to cheat death, in some twisted way.
As he limped slightly to the men, he lit a cigarette, bringing it to his muddy, blood stained lips.
“I’ll deliver your guns and your payment. Tell your men you all are free to go. Thank you for the help Mr. Gold.” He said looking at Aberama as blood dripped down his arm.
“They better be good guns because we’ll need them Mr. Shelby. Let us know when you need us and we’ll be there, if the pay is right of course.” He said.
“It’ll be right, you’ll see.” He said, before waving them off and inspecting his arm.
Bonnie and Aberama slowly walked off after saying goodbye, leaving the gory scene behind them as they walked through the damp grass, the sun glowing in the autumn afternoon. The fog had cleared, revealing the true mess they’d made.
“You’ll need to get that cleaned up before Y/N sees ya know...she’ll kick your ass.” One of their men said, chuckling.
“Oh I will. She’ll kick my ass regardless, because she hates that I’m gone.” He said.
“You’ll see her soon my boy, soon.” Aberama said as they walked down the muddy road and to their horses.
Tumblr media
Y/N awoke to yet another empty spot beside her, making her heart drop slightly as she assumed the worst.
Wrapping a blanket around her shoulders and stepping out of the vardo, she walked towards the bonfire which was going strong thanks to Bonnie’s sisters.
“They’re not back Y/N, don’t worry though they’ll be here I’m sure of-“ His younger sister started to say before being cut off by the sound of hooves in the distance.
“It’s them!” She said before getting up with her sister, including Esmeralda.
Y/N joined them as they walked towards the slightly worn path that lead out of the camp and waited. Her eyes darting between everyone. When the men stopped and got off their horses, and that’s when she saw him.
They were all covered in dirt and god knows what, blood and debris covering their hair and clothes. But he stood out amongst the men, having a bright red cloth wrapped around his arm.
Y/N’s eyes grew wide as she walked towards him quickly, hoping he wasn’t hurt too badly.
She didn’t say anything though, just ran into his arms, doing all she could not to hurt him.
“Told you I’d come back my love...” He said smiling down at her, exhausted.
“Are you okay?” Y/N asked, trying to look at his arm.
“Just a bullet to the arm, I’ll need to get it looked at though. I’m okay love I promise.” He said, looking into her eyes before bringing his lips to hers.
“Come on, let’s get you cleaned up.” She said, taking his hand and leading him to one of the logs near the bonfire.
“Sit here I’ll be back.” She said, getting a pail of water, some fresh cloth, and alcohol.
“Need any help?” Aberama asked, walking over as she laid the items out.
“Yes please.” She said grinning as she moved Bonnies sleeve out of the way and carefully unwrapped the blood soaked cloth.
“You have a knife?” Y/N asked.
“Always, here you go. Bonnie bite down on this cloth here alright?” He said shoving a dark cloth in his mouth.
Y/N had helped Aberama a couple of times before when some of the men came back from hunting or getting into fights, so she hoped she could at least dislodge a bullet.
She carefully used the tip of the knife to feel around, cutting a bit to fit her finger into the hole, grabbing the bullet quickly. Bonnie grunted in pain as she did so, and only got louder as she poured the alcohol into the wound.
“Here’s this, remeber that stitch I showed you dear?” Aberama asked. Y/N nodded and put the handle of the knife in her mouth, brows furrowing in concentration while she stitched him up.
She took the knife and cut a clean strip of cloth and tied it around his arm, wiping her hands in the water as she did her hands of the crimson mess. Bonnie took the cloth out of his mouth and composed himself a bit as he watched her clean up and come back with another bowl of water and soap.
“Sorry my love, I know that hurt.” She said caressing his cheek.
“It’s alright, I’m glad you helped me out lord knows no would’ve bled out if we didn’t get back soon.” He said.
“I know...do you want to talk about it?” She asked, bringing the wet cloth to his face, clearing it of all the dirt and blood.
“I don’t want to cause you any stress love. But I’m here and that’s all that matters.” He said, drying his face and hands and then bringing Y/N in close.
“Did you all have fun planning the wedding?” He asked.
“Yes! I think you’re going to love what we’ve picked out. I also learned some of the dances thanks to your sisters...” Y/N said looking up at him as she rested her head on his shoulder.
“Oh really? Do you think you could take on my dad? He’s the best dancer of us.” He said chuckling.
“I’ll have to bribe him to dance huh. This will be fun...I can’t wait to marry you Bonnie Gold.” Y/N said kissing him as the sun set over the flames of the fire, the night growing colder as time went on.
“Let’s get some sleep love, you need it. We have a big day tomorrow.” She said winking at him, getting up and carefully walking to their vardo.
Bonnie smiled and got up, following behind her and up into the vardo where the warm bed awaited them.
Tumblr media
The birds chirped loudly the next morning, stirring Y/N awake. She ran her hand over her small bump while looking out the little window, her eyes going to the new sights before her. She giggled to herself as she got up carefully, slipping on her robe and slippers before stepping out of the vardo.
“Have you been up all night decorating?” She asked, a playful grin on her lips as she questioned Esmeralda who was finishing up throwing petals on the ground.
“What...? No....” She said, giggling as Y/N came over, giving her a hug.
“It looks beautiful. Thank you so much for all this...” Y/N said looking at the lamps placed all around the cleared open space, the only things out were wooden seats set up with the petals all over the ground, and a small platform that was covered in various flowers.
“Now I know Bonnie is asleep, but I wanted to help you get ready for the big day, and I don’t want him to see you until it’s time to say “I do” alright? He’ll be so surprised it’ll be great.” Esmeralda said excitedly.
“Should I wake him at least?” Y/N asked as Esmeralda led her to her vardo.
“No. Aberama will take care of him, you’ll be with me alllll day!” She said, having Y/N sit on her bed while she got out a dress. It was a white lace dress that flowed almost down to the floor.
“Wait you want me to wear that? Is...isn’t that...” Y/N trailed off.
“The one you saw in Small Heath? Yes. I remember when we went to the shops just looking around for fun. And well, you’ll know why I got it, soon.” She said mischievously.
“Oh I love it! I can’t believe it. Oh my I’ll pay you back I swear it.” Y/N said giving her a hug.
Esmeralda giggled as she broke from her embrace to help Y/N slip on the dress. She zipped it up and led her over to a small mirror where she could move it around to see it at various angles. It hugged her small bump which was slightly more prominent now unlike in her other loose fitting clothes.
“I’m gonna be racking my brain all night for how you got this just so you know. This is fucking beautiful.” Y/N said twirling around slightly.
“Bonnie will love it. We got him a suit too. You’ll see.” She said winking. After Y/N got situated she sat patiently while the girls did her hair and makeup, giving her a bold red lip.
After they finished that, Y/N helped them get all dressed up as well in various colored dresses and jewelry.
“Here, I forgot these.” One of the younger sisters said, pinning gold earrings to Y/N’s ears and placing a gold necklace around her neck. It complimented the dress nicely, the suns rays bouncing off the jewels and the sparkling dress.
After one more look in the mirror she felt tears prick at her eyes, threatening to fall. She felt beautiful for the first time in so long, and she was so excited to start this new chapter, never thinking she’d make it this far because of her past home-life. She sighed, thinking about how her parents should be there, but she looked at the women before her and realized she had all the family she needed right there in this small forested area, and she couldn’t be happier.
“You okay?” Esmeralda said rubbing her back lightly.
“Yeah...I’m just so excited, and happy, it’s also a bit terrifying if I’m honest.” She said wiping her eyes gently, not wanting to ruin her makeup.
“This is going to be one of the best nights of your life Y/N, just wait.” She said giving her a reassuring hug.
“I don’t know where I’d be without any of you. I love you guys so much.” Y/N said smiling and hugging them before taking a deep breath and stepping out of the vardo.
She felt the cool ground on her feet, not wanting to wear heels as they’d just sink in the damp earth. She was carefully led behind the vardo to an elaborately colored curtain that hung between two of the trees. Esmeralda placed a string of flowers in her hair before going to her seat, and she saw Aberama in a nice suit walking up to her.
“Are you ready?” He asked, a gentle smile playing across his lips.
“Yes.” She said quietly, nervously holding onto his arm as he walked her through the curtain and down towards the flower covered platform.
Some of the people who lived in the camp played instruments as she walked, the music filling the air as she looked out and saw all of the people she’s gotten to know there over the past year, and saw Tommy and the other blinders among the guests, watching her as she made her way to Bonnie. She looked at him with a huge grin as he watched her walk with his father up onto the platform, the blinders friend Jeremiah acting as the officiant off to the side of them. Aberama let go of her arm and hugged her gently and patted Bonnie on the back before heading to his seat.
“You look absolutely beautiful my love.” He said smiling down at her.
“You don’t look too bad yourself.” She said looking up at him, her eyes searching his.
As Jeremiah concluded the ceremony, everyone cheered, the loud music consuming their ears as they kissed.
They then waded through the small crowd, Bonnie introducing Y/N to various people he knew that came in from other areas. But Y/N had a sneaky suspicion whilst chatting with them. Tommy was eyeing them in the distance as she spoke to some of Bonnies friends, making her a bit uneasy. She knew he wasn’t as bad as he had been made out to be, but she couldn’t help feel nervous and Bonnie could tell.
“Hey let me introduce you to them better than I did last time aye?” He said taking her hand and leading her over to them. Tommy’s face faltered from his usual grimace to a warm smile as they approached.
“Mr. and Mrs. Gold....congratulations.” He said shaking Bonnies hand and kissing the top of yours.
“I told you we’d pay you back right...didn’t I Aberama?” He asked playfully, eyeing Aberama as he stood next to her.
“Indeed, thank you for everything, Mr. Shelby.” He said before excusing himself.
Esmeralda came over shortly after, making the interaction less awkward.
“Thank you so much Mr. Shelby. The dress, the lights, everything’s beautiful!” She said winking at Y/N.
“Wait....” Y/N said, as she looked at Tommy with a genuine smile, surprised he’d help them with something like this.
“I should be thanking you as well Mr. Shelby, I don’t see why you went to the trouble though. That was very thoughtful.” She said.
“Your husband and father in law have helped me a lot recently with the business as you know, and I figured I’d give our best fighter something as a bit of a thank you. Don’t worry about paying anything back though love, I insist you keep the dress, for memories sake.” He said.
Y/N grinned as she looked up at Bonnie who held her hand in his. As the night drug on, you two departed from the Shelby’s and went to the source of the music, nervously stepping out with him to dance.
“Oh I’m so nervous...what if I fall?” Y/N said, clutching onto his hand as he spun her around. His sisters were near her dancing like they’d taught her.
“I’ll catch you.” He said before picking up the pace with the beat, everyone cheering as they both danced near the bonfire. Y/N remembered to transition to the other people and so she went to Esmeralda who giggled as they danced around, linking arms with each other and then eventually made her way back to Bonnie.
“Bon...?” She said, smiling up at him.
He grinned at her, her eyes sparkling as the sun set around them.
“Yeah?”
“I...I mean-we love you. Always will...” She said as she caressed his cheek, the music slowed down as their movements came to a stop.
“I love you both too, more than all the stars in the sky.” He said.
The small crowd cheered as they shared a kiss, ending the dance as the light died down around them, surrounded only by family and friends and the sparkling night sky above.

Nighttime Hero
Van Helsing McCree trying to save his woman from a big bad horde of Zomnics! Will he be able to fight off the horde or will he and his lady be subject to the horrors of Junkenstien's revenge! Stay tuned to find out more!! @redpandapple
REQUESTS ARE OPEN, HOWEVER
All requests must be sent to my personal messages! As my inbox does not accept asks! I am happy to keep you anon!
Van Helsing McCree--
° You were just trying to go out for some fresh air. That's all. Just to enjoy the chill in the October air, the smell of the fires beginning to light in people's homes, to appreciate the sounds of... Metal... Clanking. You turned to look at the source of the sound, but don't see anything at first. You turn around again as you heard more metal clanking and you suddenly see a metal monstrosity right in front of you. You scramble backwards and suddenly you hit another one right behind you on your back. You hustle back into your home, slamming your door shut quickly, your back against the wood. You hear more metal clanking and suddenly an explosion behind the door.
° "What the fuck are these things?!" You screeched to yourself as you quickly grabbed a chair and proped it against the door. You looked around frantically, trying to look for something to fight with, a chair? It would only work once. Fire poker? Not strong enough. You thought for a moment longer and looked at the wall, seeing a golden gun in its place. Just a simple pistol, a prized possession of Jesse. You weren't supposed to touch it. It was old and could backfire on you, however... With your options dwindling.
° You hustled over there and grabbed the gun off the wall, hands scrambled to load it with bullets that sat on the fireplace mantel before the door burst open with an explosion. You spun the pistol closed and took aim.
° You suddenly remembered why you hated this time of year. McCree was always busy, the demons and ghouls always came forward and work never seemed to stop. Even at home, which was unfortunate Jesse wasn't even home. You respected his work, saving people is what Jesse had always been good at. Bad beginnings or not, when he put on that hat, lit that cigar, and moved through the night, you had to respect the man for working so hard in a world where many rejected him. Believed he was one of the bad things lurking in the shadows. You breathed in as suddenly a surge of courage shot through you.
° You shot several shots at the mechanisms as they floated into your home. 2 went done but it seemed 4 more took their place. You quickly loaded more bullets in before you grabbed the box of bullets and shoved them into your pocket before you put your free hand on the back of the gun. Is this how he does that thing? With this thing on the ba--
° BANG
° Oh. Yup that's it. You did this quickly firing the last 5 shots into the robots and 4 of them went down but just as this was happening an explosion happened at the back door. This sounded different than the first one. And you saw a glimpse of blue fire.
° WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING.
° A moment of despair passed through you as you loaded the gun again. How on earth were you supposed to do this? This was more than you could handle with one gun and 6 shots. You couldn't do this. However you rose your gun and shot all six shots again, all shots landing. Reload, shot, reload, shot. No matter how many you shot down, more came in. You felt tears sting your eyes and your hands shook as you tried to reload the gun what were you going to do?
° What were you going to do?
° You rose the gun again and as you were about to pull the trigger you heard shots ring out. You looked at the gun. That... Wasn't you? Maybe you were hearing things, you rose your gun again and shot into the bots but it was like you were hearing an echo. Like you would shoot and there would being another one ringing right after it. Suddenly more shots rung out one right after the other even though you lowered you gun to reload it. Jesse?
° Suddenly you see a large boot kick through the robots, more shots hitting metal as you lowered your gun looking at Jesse as he looked at you too.
° "Jesse McCree, I'm going to kill you!" You hollared and you saw him turn his gaze back to the robots, a grin on his face.
° "Yes ma'am. Trade me guns," he ordered and you threw the golden pistol to him and you caught the Peacekeeper and loaded it before shooting the opposite direction out the back door. Like it was nothing, he cleared the robots out the front that you had been having such a time with and followed your eyeline and went out the back door as you stopped to reload and he ran outside. You went to the front door and saw nothing out there. You lowered your gun and went to the back door and watched as McCree took out the last of the robots. Again making it look so easy as they all fell. One by one. Till it was just Jesse. Standing amongst metal and scrap, his vibrant orange mechanic arm at the ready. He seemed to look around before he twirled the golden pistol in his finger proudly. You sighed gently, in relief. He turned around to look at you, almost beaming in something you could call a combination of fear and pride. Proud of you for the way you handled yourself, fear of you being hurt. As he came up to you and saw the tear stains trailing down your cheeks from before, he looked down in concern. When he asked if you were okay, you nodded gently, handing him back the Peacekeeper, before your hands checked your body before suddenly his hands were checking too. Many of the dark spots on your clothes seemed to oil and one little cut on your arm which he continuously kissed over and over again before pulling you into a tight hug.
° "I'm really sorry, sweetheart," he stated firmly, but he pulled back and kissed your forehead. "I was coming home," he added, looking slightly disappointed in himself. You looked at him before giving a small smile. The fear was gone now and you pushed his arm playfully.
° "I don't, I might have been able to take them by myself. I did half the work anyway!" You teased, grinning ear to ear but you knew in your heart that you would be in deep trouble if he hadn't shown. But you pushed that image away from your mind as you grinned back.
° "I know! That was amazin' darlin'!" He beamed again, and you could tell he was actually impressed by you and this made you feel proud as well. But you also had a new respect for his choice of weapon. The fact that he is able to stay cool under the pressure of all that. Of being able to keep track of his shots and reload it so quickly. It must take extreme concentration and talent. Just pure unadulterated skill. You hand the Peacekeeper back to him and he takes the pistol gently before wrapping an arm around you and giving you a kiss before he goes inside and places the golden pistol back in its rightful spot on the wall.
° The night is spent pushing metal corpses out of the house, a good amount of whiskey, some laughing together as he stayed put the entire night, not leaving you or your shared little cottage, no matter what kind of creature that beckoned his strong hand in the night.
