My HC for The Goat is that they are Shamura's Vessel.

Shamura didn't fight The Goat. Freeing Shamura was easy as Shamura just give up their crown because they have seen enough for one life. And continue to live as The Goat's Spouse.

Alone with the ghost of the past.

After the party, he had started to act “good”.

It felt wrong, though.

Don’t get her wrong, she was glad they were finally getting along and closer, but he felt… odd.

He didn’t only stop being mean, but also fun. He had become like an empty puppet. Listening to any suggestion their mother gave him. It’s also because of that he’d stop doing skateboard and lean more towards his studies.

He wasn’t a kid anymore. He wasn’t himself.

Now, he was just a careless defense lawyer.

She had thought he hated her, but now? She wishes he would, rather than this empty husk. His kindness wasn’t genuine. It was just that. Kindness. She couldn’t feel any cares in his actions or words. It was just nothing. Just politeness. He's the older brother and that's how he should act. That's how it is.

They didn’t argue anymore. He didn’t complain about any unfairness between them even. That’s what she hated to most of his "new leaf".

Soon after they were getting closer, she’d started to grow more and more distant as the years goes. Now, they barely saw each other's. Besides during holidays and birthday parties.

They still keep in touch. Well, more like Alec was the one keeping touch. He was always calling her once a week. Always the same day. Always the same hour. It was like he had a timer ingrained in his head.

The Alec before that fateful day, the worst day of her life she would say (even though, she would have called it the best one at the time), was gone. Replaced by an empty robot-like person.

She would say he acted more sociopathic now than then. She wasn’t alone with that thought. She had eavesdropped a conversation between her mother and Gigi one night when she was supposed to be in bed. (It was weird that Alec had stopped doing so.) Her aunt had shared the same opinions to her sister. Which didn’t appreciate at the time. Even her father had grown sticking to the same worries. Only her mother wasn’t giving up. However, over time, she too was letting suspicions root. Even if it was more subdued.

In the end, no one did anything.

And they all kept doing the same thing.

Because it was easier. Because it was safer.

Because it was the only thing they know.

"RIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!"

Speak of the devil and he will appear. (Or call, in this case.)

i'm not sure why but i've always pictured your oc hugo with an aussie accent

like it just feels right in my brain??? if that even makes sense?????

anyway i hope you're having a good day/night so far and that it continues to get better!!

I am just sad that you didn't asked me this on the main account. So this is not going to be a RBB AU related.

This is going to be after the fall AU related.

I've been telling friends about one of my favorite shows, Magnificent Seven, from late 90's, which was also probably my first foray into fandom. I don't even know why I or even how I found fanfic back in 1998 - but I did, and I have loved them ever since. But it's not just the show that I love, it is the fandom. Maybe because it was almost all older women, or maybe people were just nicer back then - there were no ship wars. None. Not even a thing. 99% of the fandom is genfic A++++ Found Family, but the ones who did ship characters together Shipped and Let Ship. Nobody bothered anybody. And there were like 7 or 8 widespread AU's that everyone agreed on - there was the OG Old West where the show was set, but then there was the WILDLY popular (to the point I thought THAT was the actual premise for the show, and 10 year old me was very shocked to find it was a western) ATF AU where the characters were federal agents. There was Lil Britches, which had several of the characters are children and the rest are adults, there's Star Trek and Star Wars, and them as private detectives, WWII soldiers, etc. The lists are endless. And none of them are bad.

And almost every single one of them is whumpy as fuck.

So I'm going to recommend my favorites:

The South Wind Series by Beth aka Midge

Replaced by Heather F

Pied Piper by Kelly A

Rough Beginnings by Shawna

The Devil's Bargain by Sue Necessary

Aftermath by BMP

Black and White by Violette

Abandoned by Jean

Ezra, In Between by MAC

Tuesday's Child: Lessons of Grace by Joy K

Run Like Hell by Beth aka Midge

Don't Know From Adam by Jordan Mckenzie

Bearing the Pain by Angela B (crossover with Big Valley)

All Things Considered by Nilah H

I could list pretty much every one I've ever read - I don't actually know that I read an M7 fic I didn't care for. However, almost all of these listed authors have more than one fic (some have a LOT more). So if you like them, more are easier to find. I haven't actually looked to see what's available on Ao3 or even ffn.net - because neither site existed when the fandom was in its heyday and everyone had their own web page for posting.

Leshy need some advice from his Elder brother [ After the fall AU ]

Leshy jumpscare.

[mimikyu-oli]

Ok.

Here's basicly how the Sea Bonnies one-shot would look like.

(Know that these are just notes. It's a w.i.p.)

Story: Rory finds his Sea Bonnies friends the day after Mott's death and put them in a jar.

He discovers his brother is missing by hearing his mother speaking on the phone before going to play outside. She is quite upset about it. She can't find Mott anywhere. He's not at a friend's house (Nate or Lyle) or even at the clinic. But the Sea Bonnies made Rory brush it off by reminding him of his plans.

Sometimes later, after some kids had bullied him about having "shrimps" as friends, Rory secluded himself in some open area. The place had still some puddles, but it had mostly all dried out. He talks with the Sea Bonnies and they eventually get to the subject of his brother's disappearance.

He is quite upset about it and worried about Mott.

The Sea Bonnies end up outing by accident what they did to him and excused it on the fact he was rude and mean. That he had it coming by calling them ugly and flushing them in the toilet just because they had killed and taken the skin of Fritz (the goldfish). Rory is justifiably scared and furious of this. He throws the jar on the ground which exploded and let its inhabitants dry under the sun, begging to have his brother back.

The boy runs inside his house and tell his mother about the news. But she doesn't believe him and see it as just him worrying and overimagining things. (She thinks he had been fooled by Mott's speculations.) He locked himself in his room, upset.

Some days later, Mott is found. (And the boy who bullied Rory has mysteriously disappeared.) They all go to visit him. Rory is surprised but still relieved of the news. Not for long, though. The moment he saws his brother, he automatically notices something is wrong. Mott is too pale, blueish and almost see threw. He acts weirdly too. Rory can see a Sea Bonnie inside of one of his eyes. He yells about it but he is still not believed, and his father (he had come back from his trip after learning the news of his son's disappearance.) let him out to calm down while his mother stayed with "Mott", hugging him. They go back home not long after. The doctor says "Mott" will need some times of rehabilitation. (Therapies. Both physicals and mentals) "Mott" had ask for a book on human anatomy for some reason. (An other basic book on life later.) The parents go visit him regularly. (Mostly the mother. The father can't come often due to his job.) Rory refuses to go under any conditions. So, he gets baby sited by their neighbors.

A month later, "Mott" return home. He looks way healthier than before. But Rory knows about the truth. He confronts the imposter later, alone in his room. The latter tackles him easily, asking him why he was so angry and aggressive. They did all this for him after all. But Rory still refuses to accept them.

After some time, they made a truce, mostly because no one believe Rory's claims and also manipulating him by pointing out how his mother was very worried and sad about Mott's disappearance and that if they were to go, she would be even more sad, which Rory doesn't want to.

They concluded they won't hurt anyone anymore, but Rory has to accept them as his new brother or at least pretend to be. Rory, defeated, reluctantly accepted

Years pass (specifically 7 years), Rory is now 13, soon to be 14. (The next day is his birthday.)

He sat in front a small tombstone he had made himself for Mott in the back of his house. (A bit further, hidden in the woods.) He talks about his days and issues. He also tells how much he misses him. "Mott" is coming back from his medical school later the same day. The next day, they celebrate his birthday at Freddy's. Yeah! 🎉

He wished to have been able to apologize to Mott. To tell him he loves him and that he's a great brother. He blew his candles.

He is now officially older than his brother.

"Mott" wishes him a happy birthday and hugs him. Rory hopes he burn in a fire.

"Mott" goes back to his medicine school the next morning.

A week later, a building burns. With it many people, including "Mott".

Rory learns during the funeral by one of the survivors that "Mott" had weirdly melted in front of her. He is ecstatic about the news, but he can't show it in public and so, he apologized and walks away.

In the evening, he goes to Mott's actual tomb and let his grief be fully out after so long.

---

Bonus quote:

Rory (7):"If your goal is to pretend to be someone, don't you think doing to me what you did to Mott can't work? I was able to find out, do you think our parents won't notice too?"

The imposter halted.

"Mott":"…ah." (⊙o⊙)

Ok so I’m incredibly hyperfixated ok RDR2 rn so I was brainstorming a modern AU. As as I was thinking about the character dynamics between people, I made the realization that the Van Der Linde gang functions like a cult.

It lacks the religious angle, but if you switch out the religion for the belief in Dutch’s ideals, it’s totally a cult. Someone probably has pointed this out already but I have so many thoughts!!! Anyway I think the true RDR2 modern AU is one in which Dutch is a cult leader and the Pinkertons are the ATF. Will definitely ramble more about this when I have more time
