| a/n; This is my first attempt at writing fan fiction, and I feel quite nervous about it. However, I hope that whoever reads this small piece of writing enjoys it. I would be more than happy to receive requests for specific pairings or writing styles, and I welcome any tips and writing advice. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy reading my work. :)

“ Another. ” Cordell had spoken in a low tone of voice. He was now on his fourth glass of whiskey, probably more than he should consume but he didn’t care. After losing Emily, and just returning from being undercover for what felt like months. That wound he tried to cover with a band-aide was slowly resurfacing rapidly.

Every night he find himself in the same place, same time, and same drink. He didn’t even notice the bartender that had served him for several nights was even new.

“that’s your fourth one for the night, you sure you want another?” (Y/N) had asked the already somewhat intoxicated ranger who sat before her. She had noticed him from previous nights. He had became a regular at this point, knowing exactly what he wanted before he even ordered. But this time (Y/N) was just slightly curious what his story was, why he came here at the same time, every night.

Cordell would lift his hazel colored hues up at the woman, as he rolled his eyes. “I’m paying aren’t I? Just serve me suga’”

(Y/N) wouldn’t hesitate to get the man what he wanted, but this time she poured it and stayed.

“Is there something else I can get you? Maybe a bottle of water?” She knew she was stepping on thin ice. Cordell’s eyes didn’t leave the liquid in that small glass. “Why is everyone so worried about what I do? I said I’M FINE.” throwing back the liquid that burned its way down his throat. Clenching his eyes shut for a moment, he took a deep breath, shaking his head. “I—I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to raise my voice. I just—I lost my wife around this time last year, my capt already put me on probation and here I am rambling away my problems to a complete stranger... I'm Cordell.” (Y/N) didn’t leave the spot she stood in, taking a breath as she listened to the man. She didn’t say anything only reaching to refill his glass. From the sounds of it, he needed it. "well Cordell, we all have a story. I'm (Y/N) by the way, let me know if there is anything else I can get you."

Cordell couldn't help but slither a smirk along his lips. He knew at that exact moment he was definitely intoxicated, he couldn't help but check her out as she walked away. Maybe a distraction is what he needed, or maybe he just needed to let out what he felt. A few shots later, the ranger would be stumbling to his truck before falling against it. (Y/N) would hear the sound of him crashing against his truck, she would finish locking up the doors to the bar--walking over, arms folded across her chest. She bent down near him as she shook her head. "Let's get you home." She spoke in a soft tone of voice. She wasn't about to leave him intoxicated in the parking lot of the now-empty bar. Being the person she was, she cared deeply--even for those who didn't deserve it.

After figuring out his address, she pulled into the gravel of the driveway. Helping him inside before plopping him down onto the couch in his living room. Cordell would mumble under his lips. "Please, don't go. Don't leave me." She felt uncertain of this, taking a seat next to him anyway despite how she generally felt about it.

Cordell rolled over onto her lap, resting his arms and head against her legs. She didn't know what to do, so she just stayed. Her fingers moved through his locks of curls. Maybe he just needed a little comfort, from the looks of it he had seemed like he was all alone.

"Shh, Shh, I'm not going anywhere. Just relax, sleep." She cooed into his ear. Cordell relaxed further into her lap. His hands rested against her legs. It felt comforting to have someone there, even if he didn't recall exactly what was happening. "Thank you, thank you for not leaving me, I never want you to leave me again..." and with those words spoken the ranger fell asleep. At that moment, she knew he had to be referring to his wife. But she continued to brush her fingers through his hair, as she let him fall into a slumber with her there.

😱😱😱😱😱😱 omg augie doing accidental spirit photography, and he figures Sam out 👀👀👀👀👀👀

But lolol all I can think about Trey now is your, "Keep it in your pants, Geri!"

I've been in my Walker feels with the bestie, @supernaturalkickparty , and basically thinking up an alt-canon from the perspective of Stella/Cordi being a thing in the background, and August/Stella starting whilst Cordell was kidnapped by Grey Flag... I really would live to flesh it all out in a fic eventually...

So I felt like rewatching s3, and opened it up on HBO, but the next episode in my queue was 2x14 so I was like ok... we'll start from there.

Oh, it's the fair episode; the one Jensen directed. 👌

Ugh it's after Geri found out she's a Davidson. But I'm not gonna tangent about her rn because---

I forgot the green cooler was in this! "I found this with Cordi's stuff." Lol they open it up and it's RANK. 😅 Brain switches to Sam-is-Cordi track.

Sam took over Cordell's life after Cordell dies undercover, and Emily's ghost helps guide him. 👀

I'm in dire need of roleplaying partners. I have an OC, and I prefer to roleplay as her, but I don't mind doing doubles and being a character for your OC. I would appreciate it if you could write three sentences to a paragraph. I don't expect novels, but a story can't be built with little to no description and dialog. AUs and Canon are welcome. I do like dark, taboo, and fluff. I am 30 years old and turning 31 in December of 2023. I write NSFW! If you don't like NSFW, that's fine. Don't interact with this post. I need NSFW. I do understand that is not everyone's cup of tea, and I respect that, but don't ask me to be SFW. I have a lot of ideas and plots, and I'm in a lot of fandoms. But I am looking for very specific fandoms and characters. I use tumblr and Discord. =^.^=

2023 Walkerverse Fanfiction Awards

Here's my choices for @theladywyn's fanfic awards event. Thank you to everyone who wrote fanfiction this year—I read so many great stories! Special shoutout to both @theladywyn and @walker-extended-universe for carrying the Walker fanfiction community. You guys are phenomenal!

+Favorite Character Centric Fic

Randall's Story by Descended_from_Hufflepuffs (@walker-extended-universe)

The title explains it all. Randall gets the love that he deserves. Honestly, we need more Randall fic.

+Favorite Angst Fic

when your floorboards start to rot, pray there are not bodies buried beneath by @theladywyn

His fist connects with real solid flesh and there’s a familiar surprised cry. Cassie.

A beautiful fic about accepting your past and learning how to be vulnerable. Plus, it really showcases Cordell and Cassie's relationship.

+Favorite AU (completely new setting) fic

Of Love and Honor by Descended_from_Hufflepuffs (@walker-extended-universe)

Cordell is the knight assigned to Princess Emily's personal protection. They were never meant to fall in love, but they do.

This is perfect for anyone who enjoys secret lover fics. For only a little more than a thousand words, it really ropes you into their relationship!

+Favorite AU (divergence from canon event) fic

See No Evil by sakuranomi808

An Alternate Universe story where Cordell doesn't leave for his undercover case with the Rodeo Kings after Emily's death and Liam becomes the District Attorney. Some things stay the same and some things very drastically change.

What can I say? This fic is beautifully written. It's a fascinating exploration into morality vs legality. It's the perfect mix of unsettling and tense and had me on the edge of my seat at times!

+Favorite WIP (a fic not yet finished)

What are the odds? by Descended_from_Hufflepuffs (@walker-extended-universe)

A strange coincidence leads to a mix up that our heroes may never recover from.... Assuming anyone realizes the mistake. Or: in which Cordell dies and Sam gets mistaken as a Texas Ranger.

An intriguing SPN/Walker fic. I would absolutely love to see where this goes. It sets up so much potential for a good emotional hurt/comfort fic!

+Favorite Episode Tag/Missing Scene Fic

To Lead Me Home by sakuranomi808

Timestamp between 3x15 and 3x16. A quiet, emotional moment between brothers when Cordell returns home to the ranch.

A sweet moment between the brothers shows how much their relationship has evolved since the beginning of the show.

+Favorite Sick!Fic

Hold my hair, Wipe my face by slytheringraven (@the-slythering-raven)

Cassie Perez really really should have stayed home today. She even had all her medical leaves intact because she never got sick. Until now, that is..

Such a cute story! This fic just highlights all that I love about Cordell and Cassie.

+Favorite Hurt/Comfort Fic

there's a white flag waiting just to find out what we're made of by @theladywyn

Things go very wrong at the medal ceremony for Cassie and August. 3x14 AU.

This is just *chefs kiss* This fic reminds us all why we hate Kevin Golden and why Cassie rules. As if it couldn't get any better, it also has such cute moments between Cassie and August!

+Favorite Ship Fic

Pounding Headache by Catxx

Trey keeps the fact that he gets migraines from Walker, which is fine until one hits.

Our Neck of the Woods by Descended_from_Hufflepuffs (@walker-extended-universe)

Liam convinced Ben to come out to one of the family cabins for a special couples get away. Ben still has his doubts but Liam can be very persuasive.

For those who like cozy, fluffy slash fic, these two are perfect for you!

+Fic You Can't Stop Thinking About

oh the past has no teeth, reaching for something it holds dear by @theladywyn

“I know I taught you better than that, Liam.” Cordell?! It’s been over twenty years since Liam last heard his big brother’s voice and he thinks this is it; he’s really and truly lost all his marbles.

Such an emotional fic! Had a few things gone differently in the show, I feel like this is something that could have happened.

+Funniest Fic

Tree Trouble by @theladywyn

AU. Firefighter!Cordell gets a call from Liam to rescue a cat stuck in a tree. This turns out to be a slight misunderstanding.

I knew right away that this was the funniest fic I've read this year. I absolutely adore the banter between the characters!

[lilithwolferp]

I do like dark, taboo, and fluff. I am 30 years old and turning 31 in December of 2023. So I prefer my partners to be my age.

Hunters Suck

Relationship(s): N/A

Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe- Government Agency, Fear, Ghosts, Anxiety, Hurt No Comfort, Dean Winchester Being an Asshole, Sam Winchester Being an Asshole

Summary:

Hunters were government contract agents. They were responsible for handling the monsters of the world- once they landed in the United States at least. It was a difficult job, one of the highest mortality rates outside of the military. It took lots of specialized training and various levels of psych evaluation to even be considered for the job. Sam and Dean Winchester were the best in the business. They came from a long line of hunters that started as early as the first iteration of the D.S.P. (Department of Supernatural Phenomena). They had the highest scores in their training class and the highest kill count out of anyone else currently working in the Hunter Division. The worst part was: they knew it.

“Walker, got a minute?”

Cordell looked up at James. “Do I have a choice?”

“Not really.”

He sighed and followed his former partner into his office. “What’s the bad news, Cap?”

“Does it have to be bad news?”

“If we’re in your office and I have no choice, it probably is.”

James shrugged. “Fair enough. Remember the Winchesters?”

Cordell’s stomach dropped. “Wh- No. No. I don’t care what the job is or how many people have died. No.”

“Walker-

“No! No, I don’t care! They- They can’t just walk in here and force me to be their bait every time they get sent to Texas! I’m not doing it again! I refuse! I-I’ll turn in my badge! They can't make me if I’m not a Ranger….”

James sighed. “You can’t quit over this and, unfortunately, they can just come down here and request you specifically whenever they get a job in the state.”

“No. No, I’m not doing this again.” Cordell stood up and started pacing. “There has to be a way out of this. Can’t you say I’m already busy with something else?”

“You know these cases take priority.”

Cordell groaned. “Okay, then I’m sick. They can’t make me work if I’m sick.”

“The only way that would work is if you’d already put in the time off before the orders came in. Which you didn’t. And, before you ask, I’m not risking my badge to fake the paperwork for you.”

“Is- Is there anything else we could-”

“No. And if there was, I would’ve done it instead of telling you about this.” James sighed. “I know how these Hunters are. If you ask me, they’ve got way too much sway over local law enforcement, but I’m not in charge of that. All I can do is tell you they’ll be here after lunch and they want to get started immediately.”

Cordell groaned. “Great. I’ll just go home to tell my family I love them one last time and make sure all my affairs are in order.”

“Walker, they’re not-”

“Do NOT tell me they’re not that bad! Did you forget what happened last time?! That djinn almost drained me before they finally took care of it!”

“And you were adequately compensated for the medical and therapy costs.”

“I still have nightmares.”

“Unfortunately the government doesn’t care about that.”

“I know; the best part of this job is that I don’t have to rely on the fucking VA for my healthcare.”

James shrugged. “I’m sorry, man. I really am. But I can’t stop it and you don’t really have much choice. Besides, their research says it’s just a ghost. It shouldn’t be that bad.”

Cordell snorted. Last time, their research had assured him it was just a vampire. He wouldn’t be surprised if this “ghost” turned out to be a demon or some low level god. He swore they did half-assed research on purpose just to make him suffer. “Whatever. I’m going home to prepare myself. With any luck, you’ll actually see me again in the morning.”

“I’ll make sure to include your enthusiastic cooperation in your performance review,” James said dryly. “And try to be on time. You know how those Hunters get when they’re inconvenienced.”

“Oh, yeah, we’d hate for them to be inconvenienced,” Cordell muttered as he stormed out of the office.

This was just not going to be his day.

—-----------------------

Hunters were government contract agents. They were responsible for handling the monsters of the world- once they landed in the United States at least. It was a difficult job, one of the highest mortality rates outside of the military. It took lots of specialized training and various levels of psych evaluation to even be considered for the job.

Like most government agents, they enjoyed rubbing it in the faces of state and local law enforcement whenever they rolled into town. They also had a tendency to ignore the basic rules and policies that their training academy supposedly drilled into them. As long as the monster was killed, they were free to do almost anything they wanted. Granted, most of them were pretty tame and saved their antics for when they were off the clock. But, some of them, the ones that knew they were too good to be fired for anything they did in the field, took it to the extreme.

Sam and Dean Winchester were the best in the business. They came from a long line of hunters that started as early as the first iteration of the D.S.P. (Department of Supernatural Phenomena). They had the highest scores in their training class and the highest kill count out of anyone else currently working in the Hunter Division.

The worst part was: they knew it.

They knew very well that they could waltz into any law enforcement office, ask for anyone they wanted, and their wishes would be granted. Once the monster was killed, they could blow their work credit cards on the best hotels and craziest parties to celebrate a job well done. They were the annoyance of every fine establishment and state-level agency from the California coast to the very tip of Maine.

And, for some reason, they enjoyed picking on one tall Texas Ranger.

Was it because of his height? Did they work with him once and have a little too much fun? Did they just get a kick out of seeing him get all flustered? They’d never tell. It’s no one’s business anyway. As long as the monster is dead, who really cares how it got done?

—-----------

“Do you two really need me for this? Aren’t you guys the best in the business? Why do you need me for a simple salt and burn?” Cordell didn’t care if he sounded like he was whining. He felt like he was entitled to a little whining after almost a decade of this treatment.

“Didn’t you read the file?” Sam smirked. “It’s not just one ghost. We’ve got a set of twins.”

Cordell groaned. “Still, only two ghosts. That should be easy enough for you.”

“Yeah, but it’s easier when we have bait.” Dean winked. “Look, they were buried in the backyard. We can handle that part. You just gotta keep those freaky girls busy so they don’t come after us, okay?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Cordell muttered. “What triggers them again? Just being in the house or-”

“Being in the house and being male should do it,” Sam said. “They both murdered their husbands after a little cheating scandal.”

“Great.” Cordell picked up the iron crowbar and salt container. “See you on the other side I guess.”

“Have fun!” Dean quipped as he entered the front door. Cordell resisted the urge to flip him off.

—--------------

Cordell grunted as one of the sisters threw him against a wall. “How long does it take to dig a grave?” he muttered to himself. He knew there was more than one body but they were buried close together, basically in the same grave. How hard could it be?

“Foolish man! How dare you enter our sanctuary!” The other twin swooped in and claws at him. 

He hissed as her fingers burned across his chest, leaving long claw marks in their wake. “Dammit,” he groaned, trying to sit up. “Any minute now, jackasses….”

The crowbar had been lost about an hour ago and the salt was quickly thrown into the fireplace after that. Cordell was basically defenseless in here and he would bet any amount of money that those Winchesters were taking their time on purpose. They always seemed to, for whatever reason.

The twins continued to bounce him around the house. He lost count of how many broken ribs he got- which probably had something to do with his head injury- and he just wanted this to be over. He almost didn’t care if he walked out of this house alive. It might be fun to haunt Sam and Dean for a bit. 

At one point, he was able to crawl over to the fireplace and grab one of the iron fire pokers to field the twins off. It wasn’t much, but he’d take that over a potential coma.

He tried to look out the back windows to see how much closer Sam and Dean were to the bodies, but the graves must be somewhere he couldn’t see from the windows. Otherwise, he might think the Winchesters just left him there.

Thank God they got paid not to do that.

After far too many minutes, Cordell finally got to see the twins burst into flames. Unfortunately, one of them caught his hat, so he almost lost some hair on top of it all.

All in all- it could’ve been worse.

He stumbled out of the house toward his truck. “Thanks for taking your time,” he muttered as the Winchesters were packing up.

“Oh, quit your whining. We dug that grave double time for you,” Sam insisted.

“Yeah, yeah.”

Cordell was just going to quit today. He was never doing this again. Ever.

Walker Bingo Masterlist

Buy Me a Coffee

The arena was lit with bright lights. The seats were filled and the people were loud. You stood on the fencing on the far end of the dirt gated arena waiting for one name to be called. Geri walked up and put a beer in front of your face.

“Drink it. I can feel the anxiousness from the concession stand.” Geri said with a laugh. You grabbed the beer and took a huge drink.

“Thanks.” You said before looking back at the bull trying to buck off his rider. “You know how I get before Cordi rides. And with this being the ride that could send him to Vegas, I’m just extra nervous.”

“He’ll be okay. He’s been preparing for this moment his whole life.” Geri tried to soothe. You gave her a skeptical look and then forced a smile. She took that to you agreeing and looked back as they tried to get the bull out of the arena.

“Next up, we have a local that goes by the name Cordell Walker! Walker was born and raised here in Austin. Let’s make sure we give him a warm welcome as he takes on Shooter!” The announcer yells into his microphone. You slowly start bouncing on the balls on your heels with nerves. Geri side-eyes you to make sure you’re okay.

“Come on Cordi.” You whispered to yourself. Liam reached over and squeezed your shoulder in support. You slightly jumped forgetting that the entire Walker family was standing next to you on your left. You gave him a small smile as thanks. With Liam being your best friend before you even started dating Cordell, he knew your concerns every time Cordell jumped on the back of the bull.

You looked at shoot number 4 and could make out Cordell and his team making sure everything was set before they let the bull loose. Right before they opened the gate the bull started to kick. You watched as Cordell jumped up on the side as they calmed the bull. You saw Cordell look up and over to where you were standing. You couldn’t see it but you knew he was smiling at you. His way of comforting you without being with you at that moment.

Cordell slowly lowered himself back on the bull. He gave a nod and they pulled the gate open. You were always amazed at the way Cordell rode. It was like the two were dancing the tango. No matter how amazed you were, it didn’t stop any of the worries. Even though you have watched countless events, it never stopped all of the negative outcomes that popped into your head.

Eight seconds. That’s all it was. But it was the longest eight seconds of your life. You gripped the bar in front of you and watched on while never blinking. Holding your breath until you saw that Cordi was safe.

“Come on Cordi!” You heard Abeline yell.

“4….5….6….7 and…8! WOOOO CORDELL!” You heard Bonham yell in excitement.

That excitement was short-lived as the horn went off to signify the eight seconds but when Cordell went to jump off, the bull bucked one last time and threw Cordell five feet away. Then Shooter the bull charged at him and got one more hit that threw Cordell another two feet before he trotted through the open gate.

“CORDELL!” You cried as you started climbing the fencing. Liam was trying to grab you but you were too quick for him. You ran across the arena to Cordell, just as the medical team did.

“M’am you need to stay back.” One said trying to keep you away from your boyfriend.

“No! I need to see him!” You fought against his hold as tears ran down your face. Bonham ran up next to you and explained that you were the young man’s girlfriend.

“I get that, but she can’t see him right now.” He turned to look you in the eyes. “Let them do their job. You can stand closer, but you can’t be in their way.”

You nodded at the man that was holding you back. He led you a few feet from Cordell and stayed beside you to make sure you wouldn’t get in the doctor's way. As one person moved, you could see Cordell’s face. It had blood on it coming from somewhere in his hairline. You cried harder as Bonham held you up.

“Where’s that ambulance?” One young woman yelled. You turned to the entrance and saw an ambulance driving over. They stopped and one person got out to get the backboard and stretcher. “He needs to be seen immediately. He’s unresponsive.”

Hearing that made you cry harder as you watched them put a neck brace on your boyfriend and get him on the backboard. Once he was secured onto the backboard, they transferred him to the stretcher and started pushing him towards the ambulance. You looked over at Bonham helplessly.

“Can she ride with him?” Bonham asked the guy that had been holding you back. You saw him look towards the EMTs. He nodded and Bonham turned you towards him. “You ride with him. We will follow. Stay with him as long as they let you, okay? He needs you.”

You cried some more but nodded and ran off to the ambulance. They helped you in and you looked at Bonham one last time before the doors were shut and you were racing off towards the nearest emergency department.

You looked over at Cordell as two EMTs worked and did everything they could to help him. You grabbed his hand and looked at his closed eyes. “It’ll be okay Cordi. I’m here. I’m here. It’ll be okay.” You said to him, hoping he could hear you. “I love you. We’ll get through this. You’ll be okay.”

When you arrived at the hospital, they rushed Cordell into a room. You followed but stayed in the corner so the doctors and nurses could work. You didn’t understand anything they were saying when it came to running the test. They chattered some more and then you heard Bonham ask where his son was. You stepped out of the room to get him when Liam noticed you and got his family’s attention.

The Walker family and Geri all stepped into the room when the doctors looked at each other with worry.

“Call up to the OR. He needs surgery to release the pressure on his brain.” One said. This made you gasp. “Excuse us. Nurse Mayfield will show you to the waiting room near the Operating Room. When we have news, we will let you know.”

Liam wrapped his arm around your shoulders and guided you along with the rest of the gang. After the elevator ride and short walk to the waiting room, Liam guided you to sit next to him. He wrapped his other arm around you and pulled you to his chest as you cried once again for the love of your life.

“He’ll be okay y/n/n. They’ll help him. If anyone can overcome this, it’ll be him. He’s too stubborn to leave you alone.” Liam said, trying to lighten the mood. It worked as you gave a soft laugh. “Do you want a drink or a snack?”

“Water would be great.” You said softly pulling away so he could stand up. “Thank you, Liam.”

He nodded and went to the rest of the family to ask if they needed anything. You watched as Bonham and Abeline were comforting each other. Geri followed Liam to help with drinks and snacks and now that left you with your own thoughts.

You thought about all the times you had with Cordell. From your first date when you were freshmen in high school to the night you both lost your virginities the night of graduation to sitting in his truck a few nights ago discussing the future you saw with each other. As those memories passed through your brain at lightning speed, it became hard to breathe.

“I need some air.” You said as you stood up abruptly. Almost running to the elevator, you impatiently waited for it to get to the ground floor. You quickly looked for an outlet and found one that led to a small garden. Sitting down at the first bench you saw, you finally were able to grasp a full breath. You looked around at the beautiful flowers and smiled for the first time in a while. You looked up at the night sky and looked for the stars but sadly they were hard to see.

“Y/N.” You heard a soft voice say. You looked down at the way you came out and saw Abeline. “Are you okay? I know this is probably hard for you.”

“It is. I bet it’s harder for you.” You said as Abeline wrapped an arm around you.

“It is. I never want to see my boys hurt. I’d gladly take their pain if it meant they never felt it. But that doesn’t mean yours doesn’t matter or is less than mine.” She said as she kissed your temple. “He’ll be okay. I just know it.”

“He has to be. I need him.” You said as you put your hand absentmindedly on your stomach. Abeline noticed but didn’t push you to tell her anything, but she just needed to know one thing.

“You haven’t told Cordell yet have you?” You looked at her shocked. “I’m not going to ask or make you talk about it now, but does he know?” She asked gently. You shook your head and she sighed. “Okay.”

“I’m sorry.” You whispered. You were terrified that she was mad at you.

“Don’t be. I’m excited, but you tell him first. Talk with him. And when you are ready, you can come talk to me. Whether that be before or after everyone knows. All I ask is that you talk to him.” You smiled and nodded at her. “Now. Let’s go back inside. Maybe the doctor has some news for us.”

The walk back to the waiting room didn’t take as long as the walk outside. You saw a lot of the bull riders filling up the room. Hoyt, a guy that befriended Cordell on his first ride in the circuit, walked up to you. You gave a small smile and accepted his hug.

“How you holdin’ up darlin’?” He asked softly.

“I’ve been better. Will be a lot better when I know what's going on.” You said looking towards the door, hoping a doctor would walk in. “He’s a fighter. He’ll be okay and back on a bull soon.” He said, trying to be hopeful. The thought of Cordell getting back on a bull made you sick.

“I hope so.” You said monotone.

“Cordell is going to fight to get better for you. He is hopelessly in love with you.” He said, grabbing your chin. “I was in the shoot with him. I saw the way he looked at you from across the arena. I heard him whisper ‘I love you’ so just know that he will fight to get back to you.”

You nodded and smiled at him before going to sit between Geri and Liam. As you laid your head on Geri’s shoulder, a doctor walked in.

“Mr. and Mrs. Walker, may I have a word please?” The doctor asked. They nodded and went to the hallway. You watched on, thinking the worst. Liam squeezed your shoulder as he watched on as well. You saw Bonham give a small smile to the doctor. He turned and made eye contact with you and gave you the hand signal for “come here.”

You walked with Geri and Liam out into the hallway. You saw happiness in both Bonham and Abeline’s eyes.

“Hello, I’m Dr. Matthews. I was one of the members of the team that worked on Cordell. We relieved the pressure on his brain. We also noticed he had a brain bleed, but we were able to stop it. We will keep a close eye on it, but he should be okay. He’s still asleep. Only one person can see him at a time right now. I can take someone to his room.” Dr. Matthews explained. Everyone looked at you.

“I- I can’t go. Abeline, please go. He’s your boy.” You said.

“Go be with him. We will see him when he wakes up.” She said and placed a gentle hand on your arm. “Bonham and I will go get you some clothes and pack you a bag. He may be here for a few days. Liam, you and Geri go grab some food. Geri, since you’re friends with some of those guys, I’ll let you tell them the good news. See if they want anything to eat.”

You reached over and hugged Abeline before turning to follow Dr. Matthews. When you walked into the room, you noticed all the wires Cordell was hooked up to. You pulled up a chair and grabbed his hand as you sat down.

“I’m here, Cordi. I’m right here.”  You kissed his hand before laying your head on his bed. “I’m not going anywhere.”

You woke up to someone running their hand through your hair. You looked around confused before you saw Cordell weakly smiling at you with eyes half-open.

“Cordell!” You said with a cry as you gripped his hand and gave it a kiss. Bringing it to your cheek, you leaned on it as you asked, “how are you feeling?”

“Better now that I’m seeing you.” He tried saying with a flirty tone. “My head really hurts and my side does too.”

“You took a nasty couple of hits. You broke two ribs and they had to have surgery to relieve pressure on your brain as well as stop a brain bleed.” You said. He immediately cringed knowing that whatever happened with his ride, was extremely serious. “Let me go get the doctor.”

“No need. I’m right here.” Dr. Matthews said as he walked in. “Mr. Walker. How are you feeling?”

“Like I was hit by a bull.” Cordell jokes. You gasped and slapped his hand. He smiled at you before looking back at the doctor. “My head feels like it’s pounding and my side hurts. I also feel really stiff.”

“All of that is normal for what you’ve been through. I assume Ms. Y/L/N has explained to you what has transpired since being in the hospital?”

“The surgery?” Cordell asked. Dr. Matthews nodded. “Yeah. Said you relieved the pressure and stopped a brain bleed. Thank you.”

“I’m glad you are feeling better. I’m going to give you some pain medicine to help you with the pounding in your head and will help the injury to your ribs as well. It will make you drowsy, so try to rest.” Dr. Matthews said before looking over to you and back to Cordell. “We can discuss more of what happened and where to go from here when you wake up.”

“Thank you, Dr. Matthews. Really.” Cordell said as a nurse walked in to give you medicine. Dr. Matthews smiled at him before leaving with the nurse. “I’m sorry if I worried you, y/n/n. I didn’t mean to do that.”

“I know.” You whispered. “It’s okay. You were doing something you love. Now, let’s not worry about the past. Let’s just worry about getting you better, okay?”

“Yeah. Okay. I love you, baby.” Cordell said as his eyelids started to droop. “I love you so much.”

Hours later, the sun started to shine through the window of Cordell’s hospital room. Abeline and Bonham had returned shortly after Cordell fell asleep and Liam and Geri were right behind them. You slept peacefully in the chair next to your sleeping boyfriend. His parents are still awake, overlooking him on the other side of the bed. Geri had long left with the promise to return in the late morning. Liam was curled up on the couch snoring away.

“Mama. Daddy.” Cordell said as he rolled his head slowly towards his parents.

“Cordell,” Abeline said softly. She didn’t want to wake the other people in the room.

“How you feelin’ son?” Bonham asked.

“Terrible, but from what I’ve heard, I’d rather feel like this than what could have been.” He said, squeezing his dad’s hand.

“You had us all worried,” Bonham said. “We will all help you get better.”

“Do you think I’ll be better in time for Vegas?” The young man asked.

“That’s what you’re worried about boy?” Bonham said, raising his voice enough to wake Liam.

“Daddy, come on.” Cordell pleaded. “I’ve worked so hard for this. I’ve put in too much time to give up before I can get there.”

“Cordell, you got extremely lucky. You need to work on getting healthy again before worrying about if or when you’ll ride again.” Abeline said.

“I’m going to Vegas. That’s final. It’s not for a few months. I have time to get ready and prep. It’ll be fine.” He said with finality in his tone.

Bonham was upset. He stood up and walked out of the room. Abeline was torn between going to comfort her husband or staying with her son. She chose to give Bonham some time to cool off. She just shook her head at her son and patted his hand.

“You’re riding again?” You asked with a tired voice. Cordell looked at you shocked. He thought you were still sleeping. You saw his confusion and said, “your dad leaving woke me up. Now answer my question.”

“Yes, I need to see this through.” He wasn’t as confident telling you as he was his parents. You just nodded. Willing to put this fight on the back burner until he wasn’t in a hospital bed. Abeline saw the pain in your eyes and decided to give you and Cordell time to talk.

“Liam, let’s go get some coffee and find your dad.” She said, grabbing her youngest’s arm and pulling him out of the room. She gave you a look to say ‘tell him.’

“Cordi, I need to talk to you about something.” You said not looking him in the eyes.

“Look, I know you don’t want me riding but-” Cordell tried to say before you interrupted him.

“It’s not about the riding. We can discuss that when we get you home and you’re rested. But I do need to tell you something. I was going to tell you at dinner last night. I’m uh…” You struggled to say it. You knew in your heart that he would be excited and happy, but your head was saying, he was going to hate and leave you. “I’m pregnant.”

“What?” He asked, shocked. “Are you serious?” You weren’t looking at him so you didn’t see the smile, but his tone was unreadable.

“Yeah. I had a doctor's appointment on Friday. They predict I’m 10 weeks along, but won’t know until my ultrasound on Tuesday.” You played with your hands as you told him this. Still not looking up and seeing the huge smile that was still on his face.

“I want to go with you. I want to see our little nugget.” He said. You could hear the happiness in his tone now. You looked up and saw the tears in his eyes and the biggest smile you’ve ever seen him smile.

“You’re not mad?”

“No. I’m not. I’m thrilled.”

You grabbed his hand and squeezed it as you stood up and gave him a kiss. You cupped his cheek with your other hand and ran your thumb over his cheek.

“My heart said you’d react like this, but my brain had me thinking you would leave me. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.” You said as a tear rolled down your cheek. Cordell wiped it away.

“It’s okay. I’m glad you told me.” He said softly. “I’m going to be a daddy.”

“You are.” You said with a laugh. “You’re going to be the best daddy.”

“What?” You heard Bonham ask from the door. “Y/N, you’re pregnant?”

You turned and looked and saw the whole family standing in the door. All of them were shocked by the news but you could see the excitement in their eyes. All you could do was smile and nod as they all congratulated you and Cordell.

A few days later, Cordell was released from the hospital. Abeline is staying in the guestroom for a few days to help you and Cordell with anything you may need. She was currently taking a nap when she woke up to yelling.

“Cordell Beauregard Walker.” You yelled. “Calm down before I have to take you back to the hospital.”

“No! You aren’t listening to me. I’m riding in Vegas.” He said fighting back. “There’s nothing you can say that will change my mind.”

“Please sit down. Let’s calm down before we discuss this.” You tried again.

“Y/N. I’m calm. You just aren’t listening.” He said taking a seat on the chair.

“I’m listening. I’m just not agreeing with you. You took a huge knock to the head. Not just once.” You said kneeling in front of him. “I’m sorry that you think I want you to give up on your dream, but I want you to be here. I want you to be present. I want you to be the best father you can be. If it comes down to it that the doctor clears you to ride, I will load up and go with you. I won’t be happy about it, but I’ll be there to support you. Now, until we get closer to that time and we see the doctor, please sit here and calm down. I need you to rest. Keeping your heart rate down. Please.”

Cordell nodded before standing up and helping you to your feet. He moved to the couch and laid down. You grabbed a blanket and handed it to him.

“I’ll wake you up when dinner is ready.” You said while leaning over to kiss his forehead. You walked to the kitchen and sighed. You leaned on the counter and closed your eyes.

“You okay?” Abeline said as she started pulling out the ingredients for dinner. You looked up to her with tears in your eyes.

“I will be. I just need him better so we can calmly talk about it.” You said.

“Talk to me. I can see you’re holding in a lot.” She said as she pulled out the stool and had you sit.

“I just… Watching him get bucked like that and then having the bull charge him…” You paused, “I just can’t watch that again. I always hate watching him ride wondering when will be the last time he rides and when will be the last time I hear his voice. I know I shouldn’t think like that, but I can’t help it.”

“And with this injury, you’re afraid that it will happen again?”

“Yeah.” You sighed as you ran your hand through your hair. “Abeline, if he came up to you in two months and said he was riding again, what would your response be?”

“Let him ride.” She said as a matter of fact. “I won’t like it, but it’s his life. If I told him no, he’d just go do it anyway. I have never liked him riding. I hated seeing him take that hit last weekend and laying in the hospital bed, but I can’t make him stop riding. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink it.”

“I just want what's best for him. I love him and I want him safe. It kills me to say, please don’t ride because it feels like I’m telling him to give up on his dream. To give up on everything he has worked and trained for. But after this weekend, I can’t do this again. I didn’t tell Cordell, but my blood pressure was high at our scan yesterday. The doctor told me I had to get it down or it would be dangerous for the baby. I’m terrified I’m going to lose the baby because I’m constantly worrying about him. If he’s okay and is his brain fully healing. And now with him talking about preparing for Vegas, I just…” You sighed not knowing what to say.

You felt arms wrap around you from behind. You knew immediately who it was.

“If I rest, you rest. Vegas talk can wait until later doctor appointments. I’ll start focusing on getting better. I promise. I won’t even think about Vegas until I’m 100%. Now I’m also going to focus on you staying healthy. Come on. Mama is cooking dinner, which we appreciate by the way, now me and you will go take a nap.” He said, grabbing your hand and pulling you up. Abeline smiled at him as he guided you out of the kitchen and toward your bedroom.

You laid down on the bed and Cordell laid behind you and pulled you to his chest. You immediately felt calm. Cordell lightly ran his fingers over your stomach.

“You know, I’m excited to start a family with you.” He whispered in your ear. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize all the stress my bull riding put on you.”

“Let’s talk about that later.” You said softly.

“Okay.” His hand flattened on your stomach. “You’re going to be an amazing mother. I’m so thankful you let me be a part of this journey with you. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for agreeing to go on a date with me freshman year.”

“I’m glad you asked me out. I’m glad we’ve had six great years together. I can’t wait for the many more we have.” You said interlocking your fingers with his. “I know we fight sometimes and don’t always agree on things, but no matter what, I’m in your corner.”

“I know that. You have always done what you thought is best for me. And 99.9% of the time you are right.” He said with a small laugh. “Now, rest your eyes. I’ll be right here when you wake. Probably still asleep.”

You laughed so loud Abeline could hear it from the kitchen and smiled to herself. You laughed as you turned in his arms to face him and gave him a kiss. “I love you, Cordi. So much.”

“I love you too y/n/n. So much.” He kissed your forehead and then closed his eyes. You admired him before digging your face into his chest and falling into a restful sleep.

“Y/N,” I heard the diner’s manager call out, “I need you to work Becca’s shift next week too,” and without waiting for a response disappears into his office.

My shoulders slump as I clocked out and walked across the truck stop's concrete drive pausing at the curb to check the traffic before proceeding across the other side of a dual carriageway to the crosstown bus stop. Sitting down on the hard bench I look up at the twinkling stars.

Normally the shift I worked was six am to six pm but with one of the waitresses off and the last hired, I got stuck covering her shift. I hated this shift, having to walk a half mile from the bus stop to that piece of shit trailer I was renting in the still dark predawn hours.

Flashing lights pull me from my musings and climbing the steps I swipe my bus pass being greeted by Ricardo, the diver I’d gotten to know since there’s only a handful of swing shift people this time of the morning. He comments on how tired I appear and said he’d make sure to wake me at my stop.

Thanking him I took a seat and use my bag as a makeshift pillow lean against the window not noticing a man dressed in dark clothes and ball cap, who’s been sitting in the exact same seat this last week, intently watching me.

Forty minutes later I drag up the rickety steps in front of the trailer fiddling with the front door lock that always sticks when a movement in my peripheral makes me turn.

“Did James tell you what was going on?” Cordell Walker inquired holding the door open for his partner Micki Ramiriz at the Rangers headquarters, “nope, Captain's text just said come to the conference room ASAP.”

They approached the open door when Micki abruptly stopped, “meirda.”

Walker's eyebrows went up in surprise. He rarely heard his partner curse, she usually preferred to express herself succinctly. Peering over her head he saw who made her do it.

Walker grunted, “I’d a went with hijo de puta but yours works too.” Micki gave him a look before entering.

“Agent Graves, to what do we owe the honor of your presents..again?” Cordell asked, barely this side of courteous.

“Ranger Walker, I’d like to say it’s a pleasure seeing you too but we both know that’s a lie. I’m here because once again I have to clean up your leftover mess from the Rodeo King’s case.”

“There’s no mess left to clean up! Clints dead, Jaxon and Twyla are in jail, and you got the missing 300k back!”

“Only took you how long to return the money again?” Graves sarcastically asked, “a little birdie tells me you’ve visited sweet, sweet, Twyla Jean. Too bad you’re gonna have to wait another what..three years before continuing your friends with benefits partnership.”

Walker drew back flattening his lips, barely holding his temper and before he could say something stupid his brother interrupted.

“This meeting has to do with the King’s member that bolted before we were brought in on the case.” Liam typed on a keyboard turning on the monitor.

“Eric Mannon,” a photo and list of stats popped up, “was Jaxon's original calf roping partner and the King's money launderer. What the group didn’t know was he also ran drugs for Northside Nation, something the FBI,” Liam gave Graves a hard look, “didn’t feel the need to share before we sent you undercover Cordi. Turns out Mannon actually disappeared with around a quarter million in cash and drugs, double crossing the King’s, Northside and Serano.”

He tapped the keys changing the screen's display to a woman Walker was familiar with, “when they found out, they paid a friendly visit to Clint first. In order to save his own sorry ass, he convinced them Y/N Y/L/N was in on it.” Liam paused, finger hovering.

“Are you going to finish the presentation, or do I have to?” Agent Graves snipped.

Liam took a breath and pressed a button, carefully gaging his brother's reaction to the display of graphic photos showing the aftermath of what the members had done, “the only reason they left her alive was to send a clear message of what happens if you double cross them.”

Captain James cleared his throat, “Mannon resurfaced around two weeks ago and has been following her, so the FBI put Ms. Y/L/N under 24/7 surveillance.” He pulls up a montage of surveillance videos with multiple timestamps showing her completely unaware she was being stalked by her ex.

“Our live feed captured this earlier this morning of him finally making contact.” Graves says as the footage showed you coming into frame, fussing with a door lock suddenly aware of someone in dark clothing approaching, then slammed into the flimsy door knocking it open and falling, instinctively turning to fight back before a cloth is forced over your face.

Micki pursed her lips crossing her arms addresses Graves, “if that’s what you call making contact, I'd like to know what you consider assault, battery and kidnapping.”

Captain James jumped in before Graves could respond, “since I was made aware of this attack, which technically happened in our jurisdiction, I immediately dispatched our people. So far, they’ve reported the only movement inside the trailer has been his.”

“How are we playing this Captain, we are waiting for his next move or raiding the place?” Walker tersely asked.

“I’d normally prefer to negotiate first but we have no idea what’s happening in there and since Mannon has been able to evade capture by the FBI, we’re going to do a raid.” Walker and Ramirez start to leave to gear up.

“However, you and Ramirez will not be participating.” They start to protest when Liam interrupts.

“You’re not going in because we have that other issue..Northside,” the partners exchange a look, “they regularly patrol the trailer park keeping tabs on her and your face is too well known among them Cordi. As soon as they’ve done their sweep, we’re moving in.”

“That’ll be the easy part. The trickier piece will be getting Y/L/N to cooperate, she’s proven to be able to see right through our tactics.” Graves turned to Walker, “that’s where you come in. You made inroads with her before, I want you to exploit that connection and..”

“Y/N trusted Duke and he’s dead!” Cordell snapped, “what the hell makes you think she’d trust me,” pointing to himself.

Graves moved to stand directly in front of Walker, “you’ve proven you have no problem implementing certain charms when needed to get the job done. Y/L/N has been sitting on some information we’ve needed for too damn long...”

“..I already know what she’s gonna say, I’m just another asshole who’s using her for their own gains..”

“..then you’re gonna have to get creative, do whatever it takes to get her to cooperate. And from what I saw on that bar video, Y/L/N has a healthy appreciation for your charms.”

Micki lowered her binoculars to watch her partner sitting next to her fidgeting, wearing that expression she’d come to know meant he wanted to hit something, person or object, didn’t matter at that moment, in frustration.

“So how did Y/L/N develop a healthy appreciation for your..”

Walker shifted, clearing his throat, “nothing worth telling.”

“And the bar video?”

“That was Graves trying to get under my skin!”

Micki knew him well enough to know when to call him on his BS.

“You want to try again Beau.”

Walker sighed at his partner's spot-on observations.

“Y/N was the one piece I couldn’t, hell, still can’t, figure out.” He thought back on how she’d been such an intricate part of King's inner circle but never actually in on the jobs.

He was about to say anything to change the subject when there was a loud double bang and they saw the other Rangers entering the trailer.

“Saved by the flash grenade,” Walker quips as they exit Micki’s truck drawing their weapons, making sure the perimeter is still clear heading for the trailer when a man suddenly appeared from under the trailer and took off as shouting came over their radios suspect escaping.

Walker signals Ramirez to stay and with three other Rangers gave chase.

***

Several minutes later the group returned minus Mannon.

Micki had that knowing look, “he gave you the slip?”

“He’s gotta be working with someone cause there’s no way he could’ve..”

“Uh huh, come on, Captain James is waiting.”

As they enter, Walker notices the trailers sparsely furnished and it's as cold inside as outside with the unusual Texas winter. Captain James nodded in acknowledgement finishing up with another Ranger.

“So, here’s what we know. Mannon got out through a trap door hidden under the carpeting in a closet, looks like it’s been there for a while, most likely for drug smuggling since this place has a history of busts. The paramedics said they’ve found needle marks and are having a hard time rousing Y/L/N, her blood pressures abnormally low with whatever he used, EMT’s are still working to stabilize her for transport.”

Micki started going over the bagged evidence on a kitchen counter, already photographed and tagged, with another Ranger.

Walker's attention was drawn elsewhere.

He moved around the kitchen finding the refrigerator wasn’t working and rummaging through cupboards found only a few cans of an off-brand soup.

The sounds of the shouting for help caught everyone’s attention then the gurney’s coming out with a couple Rangers helping maneuver it with one of the EMT’s riding on it is doing CPR.

As they rushed past Walker catches a glimpse of her and felt like he’d been gut punched.

St. David’s Hospital South Austin

Medical Center

Cordell got up to stretch his overlong legs for the umptieth time.

Micki had left to check in at Ranger headquarters on how the investigation was going and pick up something to eat, neither were in mood but they'd been there almost twelve hours.

He stopped watching the machine helping her breath and monitors displaying her heartbeat, once again steadily beating, thankful the lab was finally able to figure out what she’d been injected with and given a counteracting agent.

At the same time, he was madder than a wet polecat with the current federal administration's open border policies; the unending flow of such drugs into the country, despite the best efforts of local and state law enforcement agencies to stem it, allowing Cartels and dealers to further expand their illegal activities.

The monitor's steady beeping suddenly accelerated, and Cordell turned to see a pair of very familiar-colored eyes staring at him. He opened his mouth to speak when the door opened and a nurse rushed in.

Walkers shoved out of the room and the next few minutes a whirl as the attending doctor checks her over. He calls Captain James to update him when the doctor comes out informing him she's coherent, they’ll run more tests but Y/N’s stable enough he pulled the breathing tube.

Mustering up his grit, Walker goes back in.

***

He watches me watch him move a chair over to the bed and barely sat down when the door reopens admitting the nurse.

“I brought some ice chips for you to suck on honey, doctor doesn’t want you to swallowing much yet,” she sits the container down before handing me a dry erase board and marker, “doctors' orders, no talking out loud, any questions will have to be answered written,” she reached up to adjust a saline bag glanced at Walker, “don’t think I won’t kick you out if you break that order Ranger.”

“Yes, ma’am,” he answers as she gives him the stink eye before leaving.

The squeaky noise of the marker moving on the board draws his attention as my hand wavers while writing before holding it up.

Ranger?

“Walker..Cordell Walker”

I swallow wincing not only from the rawness of my throat.

“I know you’ve got a lot of questions,” I gave him that particular look of mine telling him to cut the BS.

He uncomfortably shifts in the chair, “I was sent undercover. I lied and..did whatever I had to get in with the Kings, that was my job. But Duke, those nights when it was just the two of you, what he said to you..what I said to you was the truth.”

I stare him straight in the eye like I did that night outside Annunziata’s.

They’re Duke’s eyes and I find myself scrutinizing them once again, what I can see in them; they’re honest, genuine..and he’s not hiding anything this time.

I close my eyes fighting a gauntlet of emotions I’ve bottled for so long and breathe deeply through my nose wincing, not caring how it’s torturing my throat.

He softly says, “hey, you’re gonna make your throat hurt worse doing that,” then I felt the cold wetness of an ice chip touch my lips and open them enough for him to slip it between then he softly brushes his fingers across them like Duke does..did and I realized it was him all along.

That simple gesture makes my decision.

I wrote asking for pen and paper and a confused Walker pulled said items outta his jacket handing them over. Of course, he can’t stop with the questions and comments as I write, that was the same as Duke.

My hand won’t stop trembling as I scrawl some of the things I knew, filling up a page before handing it back to him to read.

He came to the last thing I wrote and my physical discomfort was nothing compared to the painful emotions written on his face.

Agent Graves knew Stan Morrison killed your wife.

Lmao yesss dude I'm telling Geri and Emily were a thing when Cordell was working or when they took their trips.

And I love my "keep it in your pants geri!" Because Trey found out right away cause he saw the way she was towards Micki.

But yes spirit photography Augie and he starts reading on it and sees a mini ghostfacers video and sees these guys that he heard a pod cast about and realizes that this Sam guy looks suspiciously a lot like Cordell.

I've been in my Walker feels with the bestie, @supernaturalkickparty , and basically thinking up an alt-canon from the perspective of Stella/Cordi being a thing in the background, and August/Stella starting whilst Cordell was kidnapped by Grey Flag... I really would live to flesh it all out in a fic eventually...

So I felt like rewatching s3, and opened it up on HBO, but the next episode in my queue was 2x14 so I was like ok... we'll start from there.

Oh, it's the fair episode; the one Jensen directed. 👌

Ugh it's after Geri found out she's a Davidson. But I'm not gonna tangent about her rn because---

I forgot the green cooler was in this! "I found this with Cordi's stuff." Lol they open it up and it's RANK. 😅 Brain switches to Sam-is-Cordi track.

Sam took over Cordell's life after Cordell dies undercover, and Emily's ghost helps guide him. 👀

Character List~

Finally! It is here. Hopefully this helps you all with any confusion or just in general.

What I’ll write: 

Polyamorous relationships (character x reader x character)

Plain old character x reader

sibling!character or parent!character x reader

Absolutely any AU at all, I’ll list a few ideas down the list

Any version of a character (yandere, dark, etc.)

Literally anything I guess, if it bothers me I’ll let you know!

For certain characters the requests will be strictly platonic however I’m still willing to write dark stuff for them too.

There’s also definitely some I’ve missed so if you don’t see a character or fandom you’re interested in, don’t be afraid to ask!

I’ll put a star next to the characters I’m most interested in writing just in case your struggling to choose!
