I can't believe I'm being made to ride or die for Taylor Swift but some of the Christians condemning other Christians for listening to her are behaving like they've never heard a song before
Did I ever mention that I ship these three as a polycule? No? Well, now you know.
Also, tis the grand return to my Western AU! It has gotten a ton of traction recently and when it was initially posted, so I might as well give the people what they want.
Progress pictures n some lore under cut:
Ok so here's the picture. When Bang first came into town, the first face he meets is Beep. Of course, being dehydrated, hungry, and in a giant mental fog, he thinks he's dead and assumes that Beep is some beautiful angel from Hevan. Beep is taken aback at first, but just decides to help him anyway.
Bang ends up staying with Beep and Bing when recovering, becoming insta-besties with Bing while slightly rizzing up Beep (for a lack of a better explanation), to which she reciprocates slightly. After he's well enough, Beep takes him into town to introduce him to her and Bing's other friends. There he meets Bo, Beep's best friend, and Boop, the bartender.
When Bang first meets Boop, he does some slight friendly flirting to him, to which Boop is incredibly flattered by. He won't admit to it tho, very much giving "it's not like I like you" energy. They often spend time together when Bang gets off sheriff duty, sharing drinks and having a gay ol' time.
Despite this, Bang does not neglect time to hang out with Beep either. He often helps out on the ranch when she's working and he's off duty. Beep actually teaches him a ton of things, such as cattle herding and maintaining farmland. Romantically working together if you will.
What Bang doesn't know is that Beep and Boop have been unofficially seeing each other for a while before this. They never really made their relationship status known, but everyone sorta knew they were a couple. However, both of them have been rizzed up by Bang, so when the two of them have an open discussion about it, they just stare at each other in disbelief, then decide to tell him together one night.
That is the night in the picture. After the confessions of course, but still that night. Bang was surprised to hear that Beep and Boop were together, but he was even more surprised that they both liked him too. They end the night admitting their crushes, and stuff and they all form a circle of love yippee the end.
I don't like picking sides for shipping lol. If I see it both ways, I'm making them poly, idc. Making peace with both sides as my sibling would say.
the most difficult thing about being in france again was not necessarily the fact that it was his first time back here in a year. sure, he missed it — studying at the institut national de jeunes sourds nine months out of each year, which was arguably the best school for the deaf in the world ( and one of the only ), meant he had spent more time in france than he had in his home country over the last decade. so of course he felt at home here. it was the circumstances that were difficult and frustrating. all of the new faces, new people ... laurie had kept count and they'd had to say sorry, i am deaf fifty-two times in the past few days. it's just exhausting, is all, explaining himself over and over.
so, the stables were a welcome reprieve. he's standing with one of the larger horses, running a brush over the dark-umber coat on its neck when suddenly, the horse begins to nod its head, roused by something behind laurie. when the boy turns around, he JUMPS at the sight of another person standing behind him, letting out a breathy ah! of surprise, his voice raspy from overuse. ( because he doesn't speak much, the excessive talking he'd done at le carnaval and after the ransacking had irritated his vocal cords. ) " you startled me, " he says with a sheepish smile, and it comes out a bit slurred and raspy, not that he can tell. with the word startled, he instinctively signs it, his hands quickly going from fists to splayed out in front of his chest.
