uhm. i am interested in the lanamia cowboy au (eyes emoji)

: OO

>: D

under the cut cause its p long djkwhdhwje

lana in this au is a traveling ranger, with her superior being Gregory Edgeworth, a kind but tragic man whos child was kidnapped back in Gregory's lawyer days!

Gregory dispatches lana (and her horse Neil) (she brings ema too but Ema is like. 8 in this au) to the texas town of Rio Fria (cold river in English) because of reports that the town has corrupt officials.

Mia and maya (who is 7) are owners of the town saloon. phoenix works there and lives with the feys : -).

when lana arrives, the town sheriff Damon Gant shows her around, how nice!

anyway, Lana frequents the saloon (bc the owner helps her know all that goes on in the town and... and is also rlly hot) and after she goes a couple of times, the young waiter named Phoenix pulls her aside and explains that the town IS corrupt and everyone knows, but they can't get evidence.

on the other side of town, the vicious town deputy Red gets an order from mayor Von Karma to challenge the new ranger whos been asking a lot of questions to a duel.

Back at the saloon, lana asks why phoenix is telling her all of this and he replies that there's someone in need of saving and he wants to help them by helping lana.

Red arrives and He gets his duel. Lana wins by shooting his right hand.

The town doctor, Marvin Grossberg is good, but too drunk to help most of the time, so Lana is the one who treats his wounds. (Lana usually drops ema off at the saloon while she treats Red) they get closer and Red says his real name is Miles Edgeworth, Gregory's long-lost son! During the time that lana is treating Miles, he breaks down and has Character Development (this Character development is also caused by phoenix's many visits to see miles) .

He explains all of the corruption that he's aware of in the town including the mayor Manfred von Karma (his old guardian) and the sheriff Damon Gant forging evidence in the murder of Mia's ex, Diego Armando because he was going to expose the mayor for election fraud and Damon helped! (manfred offered Damon the sheriff position if he helped)

they continue like this for a few days with lana gathering information and treating miles's gunshot. until one night, Mia bursts in with maya whos sobbing. She explains that ema has been kidnapped at gunpoint by the town's sherrif! (his plan is to get lana to stop her investigation or her sister dies)

lana finds Sherriff gant on the outskirts of town. Lana challenges him to a duel and he agrees bc he has an overinflated ego. lana wins and shoots him just left of his heart. at first he thinks she missed, but she explains that the only reason she didnt shoot him dead is so he can confess to all the wrongdoing hes done. Gant agrees under threat of death and turns in incriminating letters he saved as insurance agaisnt manfred which get manfred convicted too.

its the last day of lanas investigation before she leaves and shes packing up. emas still a little traumatized from being kidnapped but mostly sad shes leaving the town bc she likes it there. Lana explains that they cant stay because her job makes her move around alot, but mia (who is helping lana pack in the next room) overhears this and gets an idea. the town is looking for a new sheriff, and since the mayor was also arrested, Mia has been thinking of running for mayor. Lana thinks its a great idea, but is disappointed she wont see Gregory again. Lana calls gregory to tell him she is staying and he seems quite excited! it turns out, since he found out his son is alive and well (though lanas reports), he wants to retire to rio fria. Mia wins the election, lana is instated as the town sherrif, the saloon is run by phoenix and since miles was just following orders he is allowed to stay deputy. : -) lana and mia then get married : -)
