Title: No Love Too Intimidating Fandom: Deadwood, Prospect (2018) Rating: T - E Relationships: Seth Bullock/Ezra May, Cee & Ezra Characters: Seth Bullock, Ezra May, Cee, Isabella May (Original Child Character) Collections: DinCobb Adjacent

Summary: ~The Ballad of Seth Bullock and Ezra May~ or Rocky’s mainline Deadwood Seth/Ezra canon

-

Part One: In Bud and in Bloom To be able to love them both in their different ways, to love all of his growing family, set little green things to blossoming inside Ezra where he’d thought he had only dust left. 1879: After a trying day, Ezra tends to Isabella, Cee, and Seth as one does a garden in spring.

Part Two: Banked Here in Our Hearth There were few things that could compare with the breathless decadence of his own home with his things about him […] save for the joy of waking early with nowhere to go, in naught but his skin, with the warm insistence of the one whose love he held most dear poking at his back. 1902: Ezra contemplates belonging, security, and love at sixty—all of them wrapped up in Seth as surely as Ezra himself.

Summary: “You’re our home, Cobb,” he said.

Cobb pulled him in by the helmet for a ferocious kiss to the arcing cup of its jaw, a more tender one on the apex of the visor, his body crying out the stay he wasn’t so mean as to ask aloud. This was the way Din was, and Cobb loved him so. He’d be there when his wanderers returned. His last kiss lingered, forehead-to-forehead, Mandalorian-style. “Don’t you forget it.”

Din’s hand settled onto the back of his neck. “Don’t let me.”

Title: Love Like Oak, Like Rivers, Like Stone Fandom: The Magnificent Seven Rating: G - M Relationships: Goodnight Robicheaux/Billy Rocks Characters: Goodnight Robicheaux, Billy Rocks, Cornelius Crane (Original Child Character)

Summary: Stories along Goodnight and Billy’s journey together that share themes and imagery — healing, reciprocity, and trust — oak trees (and acorns), rivers, and stone.

There are some small inconsistencies, as I did not intend for the stories in this series to be in the same timeline and only later realized that they ought to be. (I will not be fixing them.)

-

Part One: Trust Ain’t a Dirty Word Since meeting Goodnight, Billy’s carefully-maintained walls have started to crumble one by one. It’s terrifying — and might be just the sort of thrill he’s been seeking.

Part Two: Tunnel of Love They lit their lanterns there, as deep underground as Billy had ever been. He felt full to bursting with excitement. Goody offered a smile for a smile. “Onward?” “Onward.”

Part Three: A Fistful of Acorns October 1880: With a new season comes change, and with new life comes someone new to share it with.

[Image Description: Goodnight reclines partly upon their bedrolls and partly in the grass. Beside him, Billy sits with the oak leaf tucked behind his ear. Goodnight’s sincerity is open towards the viewer, while Billy is turned coyly away. Billy’s body language is simultaneously closed off from Goodnight and inclined towards him. The warm golden tones of the piece evoke the laziness of a hot summer, a complement to the heady tension between the characters, about to boil over.]
