Awful Nice

A Red River (1948) Matthew Garth x Cherry Valance Fic

Summary: “The kind of guy who…” Cherry pauses, huffing a breath. “Who wouldn’t put you in harm’s way unless he stood right beside you. Who you trusted not to make stupid decisions. Who you trusted with your life.” He tilts his head, and Matt can feel the man’s eyes boring through him. “You ever have a sergeant like that?”

Rated E, full warnings with full fic

A/N: I re-watched this film recently and ugh, these two just wouldn't leave me alone. So here we go, breaking my dry spell with these two gents. ❤🤠

It's the gay cowboy parallels for me.

A discussion [Matt to Cherry: Some of Mr. Meeker’s brand wandered over here but we would mind if you look our herd over. We would stop you if you do that. You must be new around here ‘cause I have to say it twice, we’d stop you. We’ve heard that you’re good with a gun, but for such a wise guy you’ve been doing pretty good. And as an answer to your question, for the third time: yes, we would stop you if you look our herd over.] about Mr. Meeker's cattle on Dunson’s lands

Awful Sorry

A Red River (1948) Matthew Garth x Cherry Valance Fic

Summary:

Matt's dreams are still too haunted by gun-calloused hands, sharp blue eyes, unruly dark curls, and deep wicked rumbles. Maybe someday he’ll abandon the last vestiges of hope that he’ll see Cherry again. Hell, the older man might even be dead… but no one else has ever made Matt want the things that he wanted with Cherry.

Part I - Awful Nice

Part II - Awful Fast

Part III - Awful Sorry

A/N: One last time for these two ❤🤠
