Thanks for the tag as always, @reyesstrand! Old West AU is my baby right now, so here's a scene from a very unreliable narrator (and angry) TK that's been taking most of my time lately and weirdly apt for this week
--------
Judd clenches his fists, and takes a deep breath. TK knows he’s measuring himself, but he also knows Judd would never hit him; no matter how much he may want to. “Well, we create those big ideas so we can insure no one gets hurt.” Judd glances at TK’s bandaged ankle.
TK hides his embarrassment by narrowing his eyes. He remembers the old Judd, the one who used to fight along side his father when his father was still alive. Judd, who would dive into danger head first, just for the thrill of it.
TK’s eyes cut to Grace, sitting in the background of it all. Her soft hands resting on her round stomach, watching them both with concern. TK looks back up at Judd. “We didn’t all decide to start a family, Judd. Some of us still need to find a way to make ends meet, no matter the risk.”
Judd’s next words are said with a barreling fury and a tinge of regret. “Forgive me for wanting to be a father.”
Without missing a beat, TK replies, “Apology accepted.” TK thinks about the letter he has from Owen that’s sitting next to Gwyn’s picture. A letter his father left him, right before he went out for a robbery he knew would only end badly. “Don’t be too hard on yourself, fatherhood can happen to the worst of us.”
Judd’s eyes harden, and a tense, uncomfortable silence follows. TK smirks, considering it a win. TK stands, fighting to keep a neutral face as he applies pressure to his hurt ankle. "I'm going fishing. Try not to think of too many big ideas while I'm gone."

"My interpretation is the canon one so its more authentic" girl if you wanna read Billy x female reader fics go for it but don't get upset because you took a joke post saying Billy is gay personally
the first time they get drunk mike loses his fucking mind (wheeler siblings cant handle their alcohol AT ALL) and will has to half carry him home while mike rants about how strong he is (will brings it up to bully him all the time and mike refuses to believe he ever said Anything about how will is so strong he could win a fight against the hulk)
karen is very tired of having to buy new folders bc mike keeps filling his with wills art and then pesters her for new ones. he has his own lil bookcase dedicated to the Will Art Folders because he refuses to throw away anything wills ever drawn for him(even the shit he drew at like 6 years old that was good for a 6 year old but like.. its still drawn by a 6 yr old) this is actually the reason he had no pocket money in s2 its because he spends all of it on will art folders (REAL he told me himself)
mikes music taste is AWFUL like he listens to the most cringey bullshit ever made and genuinely thinks its the best thing ever. he learns how to make mixtapes from jonathan just so he can make one filled with wills fav music and then the last song is some Awful pop song that he knows will hates just to fuck with him.
i made a terrible edit <3 billy my beloved, you'll always be a basketball god <33
edit: pissing myself bc i realized the lyrics perfectly match the video. when the song says "im a looter" billy is taking the ball, the obvious boogie man part w billy sticking his tongue out, and then the end just goes so well idk LMFAO ive watched this too many times tbh
steve building up this idea of billy in robin’s mind and making him out to be this big scary asshole who just goes around punching people and then robin actually meeting billy and being like .. this guy? really?
