something soft ive been working on for @redminibike1 in the between-moments at work. based on A Scene from their story The More I See You -- a tale of class and bookshops and the 1920s that pays absolutely NO rent in my heart and deserves its spot amongst your repertoire Red my darling!! 💓💞

FanFiction Writers' Appreciation Day Bind #1:

On the River Someday, by @redminibike1 !

This fic is a lovely, angsty cowboy AU that I was very happy to be able to bind and send to red!

He moved to push himself up, panting with the effort, pushing past the scream of his shoulder and the exhausted shaking of his good arm. But a hand pressed flat against his chest, another on the back of his head, and pushed him gently to lay back down. “You need to move slow,” the voice said, “or your stitches will open.”

Or: While travelling with his brothers, Cody and his brothers run into trouble, and meet a sharp-eyed lawman. Plans go awry, a river diverges.

I could not help but return to a variation of the layered river cover for this fic! I wanted a river winding it's way lazily through the frontier type of vibe. Also the title font is aptly called "Bleeding Cowboys" which I got a giggle from.

For the typeset I went for a double page spread (dramatic fonts demand dramatic spreads), and chapter pages I included the byline at the top and aimed to keep it clean.

I was lucky to be able to include this beautiful art piece for the fic done by @treescantjump. This was my first color print included in a fic!

Also this golden amber Colibri bookcloth strikes me as the same satiny sheen of a well groomed bucksin horse.

I chose gold-speckled edges to finish, which I think matches these gold & white endpapers.

hello there

May I ask for cowboy au codywan? Smut or no smut is fine! Just want to see my boys as cowboys >:)

thank you!

here are my suggestions :) as always, additions are welcome, if anyone has any, especially because I might have interpreted cowboy AU a bit laxly, depending on what you're looking for

on the river someday by Redminibike1 (@redminibike1) [locked for logged in users] - 20k long, rated M. In this AU, Cody has to leave his home with his little brothers, and thet run into Obi-Wan, the sheriff of a small town. I wholeheartedly rec this fic, it's beautifully written.

mid-autumn, post-script by cafffine (@cafffine) - a 16k long modern AU, rated T. It's more of a small town setting than western, but Cody is a mule packer. It's also an epistolary (mostly via letters from Cody to Rex), and overall it's just really funny and heartwarming.

Is that another whispered plan? by vhetin [locked for users] - 16k long, rated T, and they're both cowboys. Obi-Wan comes to work with Cody's team, and they quickly realize that there's a spark. So. Much. Flirting. It's a great read, the author did some research and it shows

Still No Rest by t4tlambert (@t4tlambert) - 5k long one shot, they're both cowboys, and it's very sweet apart from some angsty flashbacks. Usual idiots in love dynamic, haha

Oooh I’d LOVE to hear about ‘and narrow the way’!!!

Ahaha I cannot even begin to explain how very excited I am for this story. It's going to be a bit long!! I think it'll be about 50k and 6 chapters long. I'm 10k in, so fingers crossed I work fast!

I won't say too much about this story, because it's a mystery (!) and y'all know how much I love surprising people. I will, though, say that it's established relationship Codywan from the get-go ;)

Cody plucks the papers from Obi-Wan’s unresisting hands before pressing Obi-Wan into the bookshelf until the book spines slot neatly around Obi-Wan’s own. When Cody noses in to kiss him, sweet and tender and slow, Obi-Wan at last lets himself relax. He really has been working too hard, he thinks, reaching up to run his nails through Cody’s hair.  He feels fingers dig into the meat of his thighs and, with a burst of strength that stokes the fire in Obi-Wan’s belly, Cody lifts him straight up. He wraps his legs and arms around Cody’s torso and hangs on with a fierce strength of his own, digging his heels into the upper curve of Cody’s ass. Cody carries him into their bedroom, laughing against his lips, and, immediately, all of Obi-Wan’s worries feel galaxies away.

1. I always carry a sketchbook around with me! Right now it’s this handmade leather one off of Amazon, I think it’s neat.

2. I used to wear a (deadpool) beanie everyday, now I can’t stand wearing hats for long periods of time. Love hats, would love to wear different types soon.
