More 1870s Cowboy!Ghost, I saw someone cosplaying his gunslinger skin and lost my mind just a little
Life is quiet here. The sky is wide and blue, the grass is just on the yellow side of green, and the women are as pretty as they are quick with a gun. Well, just the one. Ghost swings off his horse to lead her the rest of the way to the barn.Â
âHey, pretty boy!â You call from the back door, âCome have a drink when you finish up.â Heâs still not used to the way your smile makes his heart jump. The genuine fondness behind it. Pretty boy. He wouldnât let anyone else get away with calling him that, just you. You get away with a lot of things.
Most recently itâs been this. A spare drink to drown out the still uncaught bounty. Never mind that heâs hardly trying anymore. Thereâs hardly time for it with all the work you have him doing. Work he hardly minds when itâs you asking for it. He likes the animals, likes the warm soil of the garden, likes looking over his shoulder to see you going about your own work. Shaking out sheets as you take them off the line or twisting ripe squash from the vine, the way you brush your hand up the back of your neck to wipe away the sheen of sweat, youâre gorgeous. Ghostâs never seen anyone like you.Â
He takes his time unburdening his horse, putting away tack, checking her stall has food and water. Steeling his nerves. Itâs becoming harder and harder to ignore your sweet talk. Eventually heâll find himself stuck in your honey. Then he canât say what will happen. Maybe youâll keep him.
Ghost touches the worn cotton of his mask; thinks of the scars under it, the scars under his skin. Maybe not.Â
Youâre waiting by the back door when he finally makes his way back to the house. You offer a short glass of clear liquor. âYouâll get him tomorrow,â You tell him. Ghost canât tell if youâre joking or serious. Your usual good humor makes it hard to gauge.Â
He pushes his mask up to his nose and takes the offered glass, clinking it against yours. You both tip your head backs, let the alcohol slide down your throats. Ghost sniffs, clears his throat against the residual burn. He checks his glass to be sure he got it all, and looks up to catch you staring at him.
âI got something on my face?â He jokes, voice flat as he wipes the wet edge of alcohol off his lip with his thumb.Â
âNo itâs just,â you tilt your head with a smile, âEvery time I see you like this I canât help wanting to kiss you.â Ghost stills, youâre forward but not this forward. âThatâs probably silly of me,â your smile falls a little, and he canât have that. He canât have you losing hope, losing interest. Youâre not supposed to be interested in the first place, but- but he wants you to keep it. Wants you to keep sweet talking him. You canât give up and let him win. Not when he wants so badly to lose to you.
Ghost grabs you by the collar of your shirt and pulls you to him, leaning down to bring your mouths crashing together. He catches a bit of your smile before you can pucker, a little bit of teeth before he kisses you properly. It's not a perfect first kiss, but it is perfect. You're perfect, so warm and sweet and soft. God you're so soft, how can anyone be this soft? Your lips cushion his and your warmth surrounds him in a way that can't just be physical. You part your lips, draw him in for another kiss and another, a slow slick glide of indulgence. His hand cradles your cheek, and it isn't the last drops of tequila he's savoring when you draw back. Stars, your smile could stop his heart. It nearly does.
Ghost tugs his mask back down over his lips to stop himself from kissing you again. Is he supposed to feel so, so giddy just from kissing someone? He can't push down the smile that bubbles up. Another good reason for the mask.Â
"I should-" you take a step back, make a noncommittal gesture with your hands. Ghost nods.
"Right, and I should-" he waves towards the barn, both of you smiling like fools for each other.
"Ok," even your voice is soft, so soft. He should kiss you again, he can still feel your lips against his.
"Supper," Ghost tells you, confirms with you. You nod, grip your skirt with giddy fingers.
"Six o'clock," God he wouldn't miss it for the world.
deathâs sweet embrace

(created for the one piece tarot project a while back~)
The way Jschlattâs voice echoed in the area⊠it seemed deafening.
All of those who attended the election, felt the tension in the air skyrocket as Jschlatt gave his first decree.
ââŠ. is to REVOKE.. the CITIZENSHIP⊠of WILBUR SOOT! And TOMMYINNIT!â
The moment those words left his mouth.. all hell broke loose.
âNOOO!!â Niki yelled out, immediately taking a stand, her scream overlapping those around. Her hands covered her mouth slightly, her eyes wide in fear as she stared up at the new President of Lâmanberg.
Tubbo was⊠speechless, eyes wide in utter shock and disbelief as the deafening yells and cheers surrounded him. He couldnât move⊠he couldnât process this. He⊠heâŠ
âNOOO!!â
Tommy.
âGET THEM OUT OF HERE!!â
Tubbo turned around, watching as Tommy stands from his seat, a speechless Wilbur sitting beside him. Ponk and Punz are quick to listen to orders from the new President, pulling out crossbows.
âYOUâRE NO LONGER WELCOMED!!â
Niki turned as she tried to rush over, but was stopped by Thunder, who tried to hold her back, seeing that George and Quackity were watching high above, near Schlatt. He feared for their safety, seeing now that Quackity gave a dark grin over towards them. They were stuck. He struggled, hearing Nikiâs cries as she tried to get to Tommy and Wilbur, her expression twisting in pain and disbelief.
âNO! NO!!â
Tubbo went to move forward, but Eret was quick to hold them back. Tubbo snapped his head to stare at Eret, his gaze taken back as he could see the anxiety washing over Eretâs features.
Thatâs when Tubbo looked right to Tommy, the fear striking Tommyâs eyes as Wilbur immediately grabbed him, pulling him back as he turned to run, the arrows from those now attacking them flying by them.
âTommy- To- TOMMY RUN!â
And like that, the chase was on, leaving the rest of the party from Lâmanberg, trapped under Schlattâs ruling, their cries and screams echoing behind both Wilbur and Tommy⊠as well as the haunting laughter emitting from Schlatt.
