canon starter call - open to anyone !

i have a strong urge to write some canon muses, so if you would be interested in writing against any of the canon muses listed under the READ MORE below, please comment/IM me and i can send a starter your way or reply to one of your starters.

i do not require you to know anything about my muse's canon, but i'm more than happy to tell you about it if you ask. i'd be happy to write canon muses against your ocs! also, mixing fandoms is 100% ok with me unless your canon muse is problematic and makes me uncomfy. my canon muses do not have all their memories or relationships from their life unless we plot it, but they will have the same general personality/ambitions.

if you are willing to write against my canon muses but don't care which, just like this post, and i'll take a look at your open starters and/or send you a closed starter at random with a muse i think fits the vibe.

*please don't agree to write against my canon muses if you're one of those picky weirdos that will be up in arms if i don't write a cannon muse exactly how you would.

( if you'd prefer to write against an oc muse only, check this post. )

[everythingheard]

with Goodnight ( @fameisasarcophagus ) ▌from here.

Joshua had never liked dwelling on his own mortality, even if reminders of it had lingered everywhere for as long as he could remember: in his mother's drawn-out death, looming over a game of cards where the loser harbored a particular propensity for violence, alongside every gunfight he raced headlong into. Despite his efforts of avoidance ( or perhaps because of them ), the reality of it had been made plain in his past and his present. There was surely no reason to expect the same wouldn't be true of his future, though he did wonder if he was capable of altering it if he tried. Josh Faraday steering clear of trouble — now, that Joshua wasn't certain he could utter aloud with a straight face, and maybe no one would believe him if he did. The notion that such was probably for the best just barely skirted around his thoughts as Goodnight's gaze turned to meet his.

A short laugh that sounded too loud for the tranquil quiet they inhabited escaped his lips at the words the older man followed with. "Damn sure hope I don't know." If Joshua was aware enough to register that he was dead, that implied his soul ( if they even existed ) lingered elsewhere, and that outcome seemed mighty risky to him considering the place he had always suspected it would end up. When he had decided to trade his life for the town, he had hoped for redemption of a sort — but his mind had been settled on the people of Rose Creek, not necessarily on the long-term aftermath. "When I'm done here, think I'd rather just be done." Of course, to believe so would entail accepting that no part of the people he had lost existed anywhere either, soul or otherwise, which unexpectedly disconcerted him.

Joshua could really use a drink right about now.

A smile rising along his mouth that he didn't fully feel, he pointed an index finger at Goodnight and tacked on, "Don't tell Horne I said that, or he's gonna try 'n give me another talkin' to. Already got an earful a coupla days ago 'cause I didn't take my hat off while he was prayin'." He lifted his eyebrows. "I got shit on you, too, 'course — since you started it, with your talk of not knowin' that we'll be dead. Practically led me right off the clean path of goodness into the weeds of sin." That sparked a genuine grin upon Joshua's countenance; the statement was so patently absurd that he couldn't quite help it.

Another time

Vasquez heard the explosion go off and at first he didn't register it. He continued to shoot at blackstone while waiting for the Gatling gun to start up again. When it didn't, he looked up in confusion and instead of seeing a death machine, he saw smoke rising from the field. Then it hit him "GUERO!" He ran and grabbed the nearest horse, jumping up onto it and riding out full speed into the outskirts of Rose Creek. He threw himself off the horse and started running closer to the smoke. "GUERO!" Vasquez kept looking for the body of his guero, half expecting him to stand up before he found him and laugh the whole situation off. 'He's not dead. No está muerto. Por favor no estés muerto' Vas saw a lump in the grass and ran over to it but it was half of a blackstone, the bottom portion seemed to be missing from the body completely and it made Vasquez sick. Not because he was squeamish, but because that was the condition he may find Faraday in if not worse. He was about to give up when he heard a faint groan. "GUERO!?!" He ran towards the noise and found a blood and soot covered Faraday. "Hey Vas," Faraday coughed out weakly. "Estúpido guero, ¿qué estabas pensando?" Vas said, biting back a sob. "C'mon Vas, at least let a dying man know what the last words said to him actually mean." "You are not dying Guero, you promised me we could ride together after this. Deal with the bounty, have a life together," Vas knelt down onto his knees and gathered up the bloody Faraday in his arms. "Maybe another time Vas, but I don't think I'm making it out of this one." Faraday said with a wince.

"No, Joshua, no, you hear me. You are not dying." "Stupid Texican, can you not see I'm bleeding out here?" "No such thing as a Texican Guero," Faraday blinked as a drop of water fell in his eye. 'Not water' he thought. "Vas, I don't deserve tears." Faraday smiled as he brought a shaky hand up to wipe away the tear track but left behind a smear of blood instead when his hand fell to his chest. "Vas, do me a favor, keep Ethel and Maria safe. I don't want them buried with me, my poor girls with just rust away, they don't deserve that. They've saved my ass way...way too ma.." Faraday stammered off as his eyes closed. "Faraday!? Josh don't you leave me cabron," Vas sobbed, shaking him lightly. Josh's eyes opened into slits and he smiled. "Don't think anybody has called me Josh since my mother passed away." Vas just let loose a sob at that. Both languages were escaping him. "Hey, it's okay Vas, you will be okay. I-I love you ya Texican." Faraday closed his eyes and let out a breath. Vas waited for him to draw another in but it seemed that was the last one he would ever take. "Te amo Guero." Vas knelt down and kissed his forehead lightly before grabbing Ethel, Maria, and the deck of cards from his pocket and slowly rising to his feet. "Cometí el error más tonto que alguien como yo puede cometer, fui y me enamoré." Vasquez said before beginning the long walk back to Rose Creek.

Tattoo Artist/Florist AU

Decided I’d share a little snippet of an AU I’ve been working on. Featuring, of course, Varaday, because I love them and couldn’t resist. 

“Thanks. I hope you bringing her here wasn’t too much out of your way of what you were doing with Tony here.”

“Not at all,” Vasquez felt himself relax a little, conversation flowing. “I picked the kid up from practice, was bringing him to my shop to wait for his dad to pick up later. It’s just luck that we’re neighbors.” At Faraday’s questioning eyebrow raise, he added with a grin, “I own the flower shop down the street.”

Faraday tilted his head.

“Floral Flourish?” Faraday questioned, and smirked when Vasquez nodded, “Thought so. Been by it several times but never come in. As nice as the smells are, a flower shop really isn’t my scene.”

“Really?” Vasquez raised an eyebrow. He gave a pointed glance around the shop, of the photos of who he assumed were customers’ tattoos, and returned the smirk, “I never would have guessed.”

Faraday grinned, amused, and then held his hand out.

“Joshua Faraday, but you can call me Josh if you want.”

“Alejandro Vasquez,” Vasquez took his hand and shook it, “But I prefer Vasquez.”

“Shame,” Joshua drawled, “Alejandro just rolls right off the tongue.”

A shiver rolled down Vasquez’s spine at the way Josh said his name, all rolling syllables and like a cat’s purr. He swallowed and hoped whatever emotion he was feeling wasn’t showing on his face. Judging from the glimmer in Joshua’s eyes, though, Vasquez could guess he hadn’t succeeded.
