The Righteous Hand of God || Wild West Ronance Drabble || 1003 words
(inspired by Hell’s Coming With Me by Poor Man’s Poison)
_________________
Red eyes. A flash of fangs.
The tang of blood in the air.
A dead man, with Robin’s fangs sunk into his throat.
These were the images that flashed through Nancy’s mind as she sat at the bar, blue eyes focused on Robin Buckley’s rhythmically swaying form. The outlaw had her head thrown back with laughter, boots stomping as she and the rest of the patrons of the saloon danced. The band was playing some jaunty tune.
Nancy scowled at the sight. She scowled even deeper at the way her chest panged with desperate want to join Buckley on the floor. Her grip on her now empty glass tightened, a soft crack only her ears could hear the only warning that it would soon break.
She couldn’t watch this any longer.
Nancy stood and smoothed her skirt, leaving the bar behind. Her footsteps were light as she made her way upstairs, through the upper floor to the balcony that overlooked town.
It was quieter up here, and she could get a breath of fresh air. She could still hear the muffled music below, the tap of boot heels and click of spurs. The wind whistled like a warning. The sky was scarred crimson—the sun was setting. Crimson.
Blood.
Fangs.
Red eyes.
Robin Buckley, the outlaw. Robin Buckley, the vampire. Robin Buckley, the monster. Robin Buckley, Barb’s killer.
Nancy’s sensitive ears picked up another sound—footsteps that followed her own. The scent of honey and sweat and leather—maybe a little whiskey—confirmed the person’s identity. Robin’s calloused hand rested on Nancy’s shoulder, and she tensed.
“Nance? What’s wrong, darlin’,” the outlaw asked, her voice a deep rumble that Nancy could feel in her chest.
“Don’t call me that,” Nancy muttered. Her heart couldn’t take it.
“What?” Robin questioned, voice thick with hurt. Her hand withdrew, hovering uncertainly.
“You’re not who you say you are,” Nancy murmured, surprised at the steadiness of her voice. She didn’t feel steady. She felt ready to keel over.
“What do you mean?” Robin asked. She placed her hand on Nancy’s cheek instead, and Nancy allowed her to turn her head, blue eyes matching soft stormy gray.
Nancy’s expression hardened into something fierce and angry, while Robin’s softened, concerned, fond almost. Nancy shoved her hand away.
“I saw you,” she began, one hand on Robin’s chest while the girl stared at her in wonder and fear and confusion. Like she was a god. Like she was something to worship.
The background noise faded to nothing. Nancy focused on Robin.
“You killed that man.”
Robin’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Nance, it’s not what you think—“
“All this talk about monsters, and you’ve been hiding that?” Nancy seethed, no longer in control of her anger. She shoved Nancy back, something cold and angry settling in her stomach. “You’re just like me. You should look in the fucking mirror for once, Buckley,” she continued, shoving Robin back again.
Robin didn’t protest. Her face fell, pained—but that fucking wonder stayed. The girl dropped to her knees like a prayer, one hand gripping Nancy’s skirt.
“I haven’t hurt anyone who didn’t deserve it,” Robin murmured. She sounded genuine. She believed her words. “He was a criminal—a violent one.”
Nancy didn’t know when she pulled the weapon, but she held the pistol now in her shaking hand. She met Robin’s gaze evenly. Blue turned to gold—a blazing desert fire, the setting sun on judgement day. Robin’s own flashed red, unreadable, uncertain—but pleading. Desperate.
“Oh, but that’s where you’re wrong. You killed an innocent,” Nancy whispered. She touched the barrel of the gun to Robin’s chin, wondering if the metal was cold on the outlaw’s suntanned and freckled skin as she lifted Robin’s face. It was a cold weight in her hand. “And I’m going to bring you to justice.”
She held her breath a moment, trying to steady herself. The name stung as she spoke it, dragged from her lips. “Barbara Holland.”
Robin’s eyes widened in recognition.
“It wasn’t me, Nance,” Robin, staring pleadingly up. She gulped, but she didn’t move away. She didn’t even try to fight. Nancy could hear her steady, calm heartbeat. She should have been angry. Maybe she was, but for the wrong reasons. Robin should be scared. Nancy should have already pulled the goddamned trigger.
Nancy’s hand was shaking violently, and she couldn’t tell if it was from fear or anger. Her throat tightened painfully.
“Then who was it?” she managed, voice dripping with venom.
Robin choked—a sob maybe? Panic? Nancy couldn’t tell. It frustrated her. “I can’t say,” Robin whispered. Nancy got the sense that if her gun wasn’t holding Robin’s face up, the outlaw would have looked away. It only fueled Nancy’s fury.
“What was it you called me?” Nancy scoffed, a bitter note, eyes watering with the words. Her heart ached. Her rage burned. “The righteous hand of God?”
Robin raised one hand, a gesture almost reverent. She gripped Nancy’s wrist with unbearable gentleness, stilling Nancy’s trembling and guiding the barrel downward. Stormy gray eyes never left seething gold as the gun pressed to Robin’s chest. Nancy’s grip went white knuckled.
This was it.
She knew this was coming, didn’t she? This was her life’s purpose for years. She had spent years traveling, learning of Robin’s whereabouts. She was always going to hunt down Barb’s killer. Hunt down Robin Buckley.
Fangs. Blood. Red eyes.
Fangs. Blood. Gold.
Robin’s eyes became Nancy’s mirror. She searched those gray depths for any trace of a beast. Any hint of violence. All she could find was warmth and care and a hint of fear—and a deep, drowning sadness that threatened to drag Nancy under.
She saw her own face reflected back. Blazing gold eyes and face twisted into ugly fury. She had seen this before, hadn’t she? Reflected in a different set of eyes. The memory hit her like a gunshot.
Barbara Holland.
Robin didn’t kill Barbara.
Nancy knew who had. She remembered now.
She knew what she had to do.
A bang echoed through the saloon.

i gotta know. does nancys hand shake as robin guides the gun down to her chest, either with rage or fear? or is she in a cold state of fury?? her hand doesn’t shake but she has a white knuckled grip like the gun is her last lifeline??
(also been listening to hcwm on repeat. i’m going. so insane.)
Oh it does. Nancy’s hand shakes violently as she puts to gun to Robin’s chin. She’s not sure if it’s anger or fear—probably both. But it stills. Robin looks at her so earnestly, so brokenly, wrapping one hand firmly around Nancy’s wrist. And as she guides the barrel to her own chest—right over her beating heart—Nancy’s trembling stills.
She can hear it, the steady thump-thump of Robin’s heart. It’s not panicked. It’s calm. Nancy doesn’t know whether she should be angry or upset by that. Her grip on the gun tightens to that white knuckled grip as she makes her decision.
She knows what she has to do.

More quick thoughts I had while heading to class
Robin is a sort of “Robin Hood” figure. Like she’s an outlaw but she mostly steals from corrupt banks and whatnot. This is what she’s doing in town when she meets Nancy—she’s planning on taking down the corrupt mayor and redistributing his wealth (but supernatural plots occur and make this hard)
Also thinking about a badass cinematic confrontation set to “Hell’s Coming With Me” by Poor Man’s Poison where Nancy corners Robin, eyes blazing gold with fury, shotgun to Robin’s chest, something something righteous hand of god, ready to strike down a supposed murderer while Robin tries to convince her of her innocence

Okay okay okay I am THINKING about the Wild West Ronance confrontation scene
Yet again pushing the “Hell’s Coming With Me” by Poor Man’s Poison agenda
For background, Robin and Nancy have finally started to set aside their differences. They’re dancing around each other because they’re both too stubborn to admit they’re in love
And Nancy is finally believing Robin’s innocence—but something happens. Someone tells Nancy they were there and Robin killed Barb or I’m toying with vampire Robin because y’all know I’m just a sucker for vampires and werewolves. Regardless of how, a seed of doubt has been planted in Nancy’s mind.
We begin at a saloon. Robin is laughing and dancing, while Nancy is having a drink at the bar
The song begins
Picture with me, a slow build up
Nancy watches Robin, fist clenched around her glass
Then she gets up and goes upstairs to a balcony, looking out over the town
Robin creeps up behind her, a gentle hand on Nancy’s shoulder
A zoomed in flash of gold fury in Nancy’s eyes
She spins on Robin, eyes blazing
Robin is surprised and steps back
They argue. Nancy accuses Robin of lying to her this whole time
As the song intensifies, so does their rage. Nancy pulls a gun.
Robin stops. Her expression drops, careful, saddened. She drops to her knees, a silent plea
Nancy lifts her chin with the barrel of her gun. She’s seething
“I am the righteous hand of god,” she spits (a callback from an argument that happens earlier where Robin mockingly calls her that). She cocks the gun
Robin is calm. There’s a sadness on her face as she makes her final plea. She takes the gun and presses it point blank to her chest, meeting Nancy’s gaze
The music dulls, but is still there. The few people around are watching with fear and rapt attention
Nancy closes her eyes. She takes a deep breath
The screen goes to black with the bang of a gunshot
:)
I’m still building an outline for this, so that last gunshot could have multiple possibilities. I’m enjoying the idea that maybe Nancy herself killed Barb and doesn’t know it—And Robin KNOWS, because she was there, but after spending more time with Nancy, she realizes the girl doesn’t know (Do Revenge Eleanor style secret keeping ensues) and so she lets herself take the fall because she doesn’t want Nancy to live with that guilt. But some part of Nancy knows, and she realizes it. Maybe she pulls the gun away and shoots the ceiling instead of Robin, idk. But I’m just thinking about this poignant moment where she’s ready for the kill, and she’s staring into the eyes of the girl she believes is a monster—but all that she sees is her own contorted reflection, eyes ablaze, and she realizes—oh god, it was her. She’s the monster. She always has been. She’s always known, deep down.
Or someone else is hunting them both and shoots one of them before Nancy can pull the trigger 👀
But I like the first idea more

Thinking about Wild West Ronance again
If I make this ANOTHER werewolf au, that is MY business—
Robin is a famed outlaw. She’s a horse rustler, bank robber, etc. She’s mostly only done nonviolent crimes—but she was framed and run out of town for a murder she didn’t commit (Barbara Holland, mayhaps?). She has a reputation of a serial heartbreaker, but let’s be real, she doesn’t really realize it.
Nancy Wheeler grew up a prim and proper country girl with every intention of being a school teacher—until her childhood best friend was murdered in cold blood. She vowed to hunt down the outlaw that did it and spent the last few years as a bounty hunter. She stays masked and no one knows it’s sweet Nancy Wheeler—instead they know the bounty hunter by a different name (yet to be decided).
Toying with the idea of the monster hunter/monster twist, but I’ve changed my mind from werewolf Robin—consider werewolf Nancy. Using her lycanthropy to track outlaws down 👀Robin being a monster hunter? Catching on immediately and suddenly they both want to kiss kill each other?
Nancy has sort of been hunting Robin specifically for years. She’s kept track—she has a whole journal—or every sighting and every crime. Only once she sees a poster in a saloon does she realize Robin is nearby—and Nancy has her change at revenge.
Only, Robin knows already the bounty hunter in town. And it doesn’t take long before she connects the dots about Nancy’s lycanthropy. Maybe they meet at the same saloon—Robin’s really bold about it. She knows she’s wanted, but no one is brave enough to make a move. Nancy sidles up to her, orders a drink, and says she knows who Robin is.
Robin, being a little shit, takes Nancy’s hand in her own—which are clad in silver rings—this cocky grin on her face as she kisses the back of Nancy’s hand and asks her to dance. Nancy is careful to hide the pain, but when Robin pulls away, she sees the burns and knows exactly what Nancy is.
Then they end up being forced to work together when a Bigger Badder problem arrives
