#tftctw au

[tftctwofficial]

After getting into a scuffle that ends with him getting punched in the face and knocked to the ground, Fox lays there until Bigby comes to help him up.

"Thought you said you could take a punch," the sheriff teases, standing over the fallen outlaw.

Fox, now more pissed off than before, responds, "Shut the hell up, Wolf." Later, after getting patched up, Bigby says, "Can't believe you'd risk that pretty face, partner." Fox, with a black eye and a bandage over his nose, glances over at the sheriff and smirks. "You think I'm pretty?" Bigby's face flushes pink, and he stammers out, "That's not what I said." Fox smugly walks away, calling over her shoulder, "Yes it was." (AKA more Western AU stuff, I'm gonna be posting a couple more backlogged stuff these next couple of weeks)

Haven't been able to draw in the last three weeks so take some various doodles from last year that I never uploaded

The comic version of a drabble from a long while ago of a scene in the TFTCTW Western AU! The original scene in question is below the read more! There's differences between the comic and the writing, and that's due in part to the length of time between the two - sometimes details are forgotten and new ones are added!

Bigby was aware of the persistent throbbing in his side before he regained full consciousness. It���s steady pulse wove it’s way into his dreams, creating the illusion that something sharp was sliding it’s way in and out and in and out over and over again into his belly and back. When he woke up it was with a gasp, a hiss through his teeth, and a pained groan. He tried to move, to shuffle away from the sensation, but it only made it worse, so he stilled. Then, as he struggled to swallow the thick saliva that had built up in his mouth with a dry throat, he slowly remembered what had happened - he was shot. But that was the only thing he really and truly did remember. The fight before, then the blinding pain… then fading in and out… then the sting of something being poured over the wound, his arms and legs pinned and leather shoved between his teeth, the burning pierce of a needle… then nothing. He swallowed again, the motion easier this time, and when his eyes opened it was to a smoky orange glow. He squinted up at the rocky, craggy roof above him, shadows dancing in strange shapes, before he realized he was in a cave. Bigby knew he couldn’t really move his body, so he let his head roll to the side, squinting further as he looked directly into the heart of the campfire several feet away from him. He looked away, the flames burned into his vision for a moment, and his eyes managed to rest on Fox. The outlaw seemed to have not noticed the sheriff’s awakening, if the way he continued to stare blankly into the fire was any indication. He might not have heard Bigby over the crackling of the fire or perhaps - as he was just now registering - the crescendoing rain echoing throughout the cavern, drowning out most other noises. Bigby would’ve called out to him, gotten his attention, but his pain and sleep-addled brain still hadn’t gotten to that point of function yet. It also didn’t help that he was too busy being confused by Fox’s state of undress. He wasn’t wearing a shirt. Bigby had seen shirtless men before. It wasn’t an uncommon sight, especially in the hotter months, but he hadn’t seen Fox shirtless before - or, well, shirtless and fully unbandaged. His torso was paler than his arms and face but still as lightly dusted with auburn hair that glowed like copper in the firelight. Strong arms crossed over his chest, hands gripping his shoulders, and even from this distance Bigby could tell he was shivering despite the fire burning brightly in front of him. He could also see scars, new and old, crisscrossing over his skin - the telltale markings of a man who lived on the edge every day of his life, dancing with death constantly. The branding on his neck stood out the most, shimmering wetly in the light of the fire like it was still fresh. A fresh bout of tremors shook the outlaws frame, and Bigby took note of the white-knuckle grip he had on his shoulders and the clouded, tired look in his eyes and he wondered just how long he’d been out and when the man had gotten some sleep. And again, why he didn’t have his shirt. Bigby tried to speak but all that came out was a croak, one that Fox still didn’t hear. So he swallowed and shifted onto his elbows - biting his lip on a pained yelp - and felt something fall off him. He glanced down to see the bandit’s red button up puddle into his lap. It’d been used to cover him like a blanket, it seemed. Something about that made something in his chest twist, but he ignored it in favor of trying to speak again. “You mean to tell me you don’t have any other shirts?” His rasp broke whatever spell was over the man, because his head snapped up immediately - eyes wide and mouth agape in surprise before it broke into a grin. “You’re up!” He exclaimed, voice echoing off the rocks as he scrambled to his feet and making Bigby wince. “Thought I wouldn’t be?” He inquired as the outlaw circled the fire to kneel beside him, keeping his eyes on his face and not his chest which was a lot broader than he remembered it being.

[There is more to this drabble, but its unnecessary. Enjoy the sneak peek you get!]

[tftctwofficial]

Fox: Okay, take off your badge Bigby: Why? Fox: DID YOU JUST ASK ME WHY YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR SHERIFF BADGE OFF AS WE ENTER A BANDIT TOWN??? Bigby: I WAS JUST ASKIN'!!

Needless to say, they aren't the brightest

[tftctwofficial]

Bigby stands off to the side, nose tossed haughtily in the air as he crosses his arms over his chest and boasts, "Buck only listens to me, so good luck tryin' to get him to do anythin'. Especially lettin' you ride him. He's called 'Buck' for a re-"

He's interrupted by Fox loudly cooing at the horse, holding his head between his hands and stroking his nose.

"You are such a handsome, darlin' boy! Yes you are, you're gorgeous! What are you doin' ridin' 'round with that mean 'ol sheriff, huh? Pretty boy like you deserves the open plains, yes you do!"

Bigby continues to watch in absolute disbelief and shock as Fox mounts his horse, trotting over to him with the biggest shit-eating grinning on his face.

"You were sayin' somethin', Sheriff? Somethin' about 'only you ridin' him?' I'm on the horse, Sheriff, and I'm not being bucked. You wanna keep talkin', or?"

Bigby, slack-jawed, can only think, You fucking traitor.

[tftctwofficial]

Bigby then proceeds to start more "arguments"

Transcript below cut:

Fox, holding up his pointer finger sassily: Never start an argument with a gay man, we always win

Bigby, looking confused: Whenever we argue, you kiss me to make it stop

Fox, smugly: I win the argument then, don't I?

[Bigby, blushing, is silent for a moment as he contemplates]

Bigby: You have a point.

[tftctwofficial]

Two unidentified gunmen restrain Bigby, their guns aimed at his head while he holds his hands up and away from his own weapons. He's sweating, and angry, unable to do much to get himself out of his current situation.

The taller of the two gunmen says, "We can get rid of this guy for you, Ace. Just say the word." Fox, unbelievably pissed, instead demands, "Let him go. Now!" "What, you're sidin' with the law now?" The gunman asks incredulously.

"I ain't sidin' with the law," Fox spits, "I'm sidin' with him. Now let. Him. Go."

Later, after the gunmen have left, Fox grabs onto Bigby's arm and hauls him away. The sheriff raises his arm haltingly, unsure of whether or not to reach out to the outlaw.

"You didn't have to do that," he says softly, looking at his companion with soft confusion. Fox just grimaces and continues to tug him along, still angry from before.

"Yes I did. Now c'mon, Chess is waitin' for us."

[This marks the end of the western au related art!]

New Chapter Every Monday

[justcrafting]

I feel like I’m continuously gonna bounce between these two decisions when it comes to posting my writings lmao. Anyways. Executive dysfunction and writers/artists block and depression have hit me hard. Only recently was I able to partially pull my way out of it. I’m technically on a writing-posting hiatus, but it’s mainly because it’s taking me over a month to write one chapter of TFTCTW. So yeah, it won’t be posted until it’s done. Then the process will probably continue for the next chapter, so on and so forth. So I guess what I’m here to say is that it’ll be a long. Long while before chapter 45 is posted, and probably a longer while before the fic is finally done. And then the next projects will probably take just as long lmao.

Some good news is that chapter 45 IS being worked on after a month of stagnation, it’s just a slow process of getting through it. I’m also halfway(?) through a new resident evil short(ish) fic, and I’ve also preliminarily outlined 2/3(?) parts for the tftctw western au (16 chapters roughly outlined, hell yeah! haven’t touched it since then though lmao).

I don’t owe explanations for anything, since I work on all this stuff for free. But I like having the words out for my sake more than anything else. It also helps to kinda have a time frame? I guess? For when I get certain things done and a good measure for how much longer projects are gonna take

anyways, thanks to everyone for their patience while I just slough my way through the swamp of my mind :D 💙

Not an April Fools bit, I promise. This is a message to any of those who read my fics on Ao3!

Starting today (4/1/24) I will be on a fic-posting hiatus! I’m going to be taking the time to possibly (hopefully) finish TFTCTW and work on several other projects and make a backlog of things to post when the busy season at my job starts and I won’t have the time or energy to work on anything. Sorry to anyone waiting on chapters, it’ll be a bit before anything gets updated!

[justcrafting]

its about the bisexual lighting its about the dawning realization its about the homoeroticism of teaching someone to dance in a club

the chapter this takes place in hasn’t been posted (or written) yet but you can read the story here!
