RDR Event Timeline (Canon + Headcanon)

This is the timeline I have constructed and use for all of my Red Dead writings. Canon event dates/ages are taken from the Red Dead Wiki, and headcanon estimations for more ambiguous events/characters are based on their approximate ages in-game by 1899 and what makes the most logical sense to me based on that timeline.

Please feel free to use this as a reference for your own works too, if it helps. (Canon events are noted as such, and my headcanons are labeled "HC.")

1839 - Uncle born (HC)

1844 - Hosea Matthews born (Canon)

1845 - Rains Fall born (HC)

1846 - Leopold Stauss born (HC)

1850 - Susan Grimshaw born (HC)

1853 - Orville Swanson born (HC)

1855 - Dutch Van der Linde born (Canon)

1857 - Josiah Trelawney born (HC)

1860 - Micah Bell III born (Canon) (newspaper clipping mentions Micah Bell Jr. robbing with his 17-year-old son in 1877)

1861 - Simon Pearson born (HC)

1863 - Arthur Morgan born (Canon)

1866 - Bill Williamson born (Canon)

1870 - Dutch leaves home aged 15 (Canon); Kieran Duffy born (HC)

1871 - Sadie Adler born (HC)

1872 - Charles Smith born (HC) (based on est. age of 27 in 1899)

1873 - John Marston born (Canon); Javier Escuella born (HC)

1874 - Lyle Morgan arrested and hanged, Arthur orphaned (Canon); Molly O'Shea born (HC)

1875 - Karen Jones born (HC)

1876 - Dutch and Hosea meet outside of Chicago, IL (Canon); Sean MacGuire born (HC)

1877 - Abigail Roberts born; Arthur joins the gang, aged 14 (Canon)

1878 - Eagle Flies born (HC)

1879 - Tilly Jackson and MaryBeth Gaskill born (HC)

1880 - Lenny Summers born (Canon)

1881 - John Marston's father dies, John orphaned (Canon)

1882- Annabelle and Bessie join the gang (HC)

1883 - Bessie and Hosea marry and leave the gang (Canon); Arthur meets and begins dating Mary Gillis (HC) (Jamie Gillis references both Annabelle and Bessie during the mission in Chapter 2, so IMO this would've been the most likely time for all 3 to have met one another.)

1884 - Dutch kills Colm O'Driscoll's unnamed brother, Annabelle killed by Colm in retaliation; Hosea returns to the gang (HC)

1885 - John Marston and Susan Grimshaw join the gang (Canon); Charles Smith leaves home, aged 13 (HC) (based on est. DOB 1872)

1886 - Arthur proposes to and subsequently breaks up with Mary in the springtime; Arthur meets Eliza (19) later in the year, and Isaac is conceived (HC)

1887 - Lee & Hoyt Bank Robbery, April (Canon); Isaac Morgan born (HC) (According to Arthur in-game, Eliza only knew who he was after she got pregnant. Based on this they most likely met in late 1886 or very early 1887, with the bank robbery in April '87 and Isaac born that autumn.)

1888 - Death of Bessie Matthews (HC) (based on the assumption that she passed some time before Arthur lost his son. Her cause of death is never specified in canon, but I HC it was a fairly quick battle with pneumonia over the winter.)

1891 - Isaac Morgan (4) and Eliza (23) killed in a home robbery (HC)

1892 - Bill Williamson dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army (Canon); Uncle joins the gang (HC)

1893 - Bill Williamson joins the gang (Canon)

1894 - Abigail Roberts joins the gang, introduced to them by Uncle (Canon)

1895 - Jack Marston born; Javier joins the gang (Canon)

1896 - John Marston leaves the gang; Jake and Sadie Adler marry in September (Canon)

1897 - John Marston returns to the gang after a year (Canon)

1898 - Micah Bell, Charles Smith, Lenny Summers, and Jenny Kirk join the gang (Canon)

1899 - Blackwater Massacre; dissolving of the Van der Linde gang; deaths of Jenny Kirk, Mac and Davey Callender, Sean MacGuire, Kieran Duffy, Hosea Matthews, Lenny Summers, Molly O'Shea, Eagle Flies, Susan Grimshaw, and Arthur Morgan (Canon)

1907 - Construction of Beecher's Hope ranch; John and Abigail marry; death of Micah Bell III (Canon)

1911 - Kidnapping of Abigail and Jack Marston by the U.S. Government in exchange for John's cooperation; deaths of Bill Williamson, Javier Escuella, Dutch Van der Linde, Uncle, and John Marston (Canon)

1914 - Death of Abigail Marston; Jack Marston kills Edgar Ross to avenge his father's murder (Canon)

[omgwhatchloe]

listen i don’t know if its just me, but do you ever read or hear someones headcanons and think…

wow! thats so interesting! however, there is more chance of lenny and uncle 69ing in dutchs tent-

i dont judge many headcanons but some…just some…

[jjmbbg]

It's so familiar, and he knows him well

➤ AU!Arthur is alive and lives in Blackwater; He's Jack's favorite uncle obviously.

➨ Jack sat quietly under the evergreen tree to read the book that he just started the night before 'cause of his mother, who sent him to bed early (heck, it was just two in the morning).

The weather was cool, the sun was intense and so the wind, he liked it.

When he was just about to begin chapter fourteen of the book, he heard the gallop in the distance at the entrance to the farm. He raised his head to see who it was, although it would be difficult for him to tell 'cause of the rocks that would get in his field of vision.

He sighed and looked back at the book ready to resume reading. When he was halfway through, he heard Arthur Morgan's characteristic laugh.

ㅡ Whenever I come, you're immersed in a different book ㅡthe adult mocked, taking the cigarette out from between his lips and throwing it on the ground and then stepping on it.ㅡ What do you read?

ㅡ Uhm... ㅡhe whispered sadly.ㅡ Mom bought it for me and it's... uhm...

ㅡ Tell me now.

ㅡ It's "Pride and Prejudice".

ㅡ It's a good book ㅡthe adult murmured.ㅡ Are you liking it?

ㅡ I guess.

ㅡ You wanna come fishing with me?

ㅡ Fishing?

Oh, this conversation felt familiar.

ㅡ Sure, you're... old enough. Come on.

Jack stood up with the book under his arm, agreeing to Morgan's idea. He left his book in his room and returned with the adult, they went to look for the fishing rods that they kept in the barn and began their short trip to the same place where a few years ago Rufus was bitten by that snake, an experience painful for young Marston.

ㅡ And how are you adapting to this? You know... about Ross and the government guys...

ㅡ Pa killed Uncle Dutch?

Arthur didn't really know whether to answer him or not, or whether to tell him the truth.

ㅡ I'm not a child, okay? You can tell me.

ㅡ John killed him, and Bill, and Javier, remember Javier?

ㅡ A little ㅡhe opened up.ㅡ I didn't like him that much, neither did Bill... I liked Uncle Hosea ㅡhe smiled involuntarily, but he erased his smile a few seconds later.ㅡ It doesn't matter though, it's in the past, they're all dead.

ㅡ Your father and I are still here ㅡhe told him, grabbing the fish he had just caught.ㅡ Your mother too, and Uncle... sometimes.

ㅡ We are... the last thing left.

ㅡ We are the last thing left ㅡsaid the blonde looking at the landscape.ㅡ What a view.

ㅡ Yeah... my father chose a good place.

Morgan nodded slowly, looking at who he might consider his nephew.

They spent a few minutes in silence fishing, removing the fish from the rod and throwing them back into the water, although some of them were kept in the bucket that Jack had taken care of carrying. The tranquility of the atmosphere was interrupted by shots fired in the distance.

ㅡ That... ㅡJack stammered nervously.ㅡ That's...

ㅡ Hide ㅡArthur told him, leaving his rod on the ground. He took out his gun from the holster on his belt.ㅡ Now.

Jack didn't know how to react at the moment, he had to be pushed by the blonde behind a rock while he advanced up the hill. He saw him disappear, heard screams and more gunshots, then the horrible silence in the place.

Has he died?

His hands shook and he poked his head over the rock, there was no sign of Arthur.

He came out of hiding scared, wondering if he should call his uncle out loud. He swallowed hard when he heard footsteps on the ground coming his way, he closed his eyes fearing the worst.

ㅡ They left ㅡhe heard. He opened the orbs.ㅡ Are you okay?

ㅡ Y-yes... yes! ㅡhe answered nervously.ㅡ I... I-I wasn't afraid, no, no...

ㅡ It's okay to be afraid sometimes ㅡhe told him, patting his shoulder.ㅡ It was a lot of adrenaline today, don't you think? Come on, I'll take you home.

ㅡ Okay ㅡthe teenager agreed, still nervous.ㅡ Are you... sure they're not going to come back?

Arthur looked at him in silence and nodded, giving him a push to get on the horse which he went to look for, since he had fled due to the gunshots.

The ride back to his house was silent, Jack looked everywhere hoping not to see someone else, someone who might pull the trigger out of nowhere. When they arrived, Abigail was standing on the porch of the house next to John.

Ugh, how weird it was to see them kiss. They never have, or at least not with him nearby or in sight.

ㅡ Yikes, separate now ㅡhe said, climbing the few steps that led to the porch.ㅡ I'm going to cry blood, folks.

ㅡ Oh, close your mouth ㅡhis mother mumbled, John next to her chuckled.ㅡ Are you okay? You look pale.

ㅡ 'm fine ㅡhe answered.ㅡ We brought fish and... uhm... I'll go lie down.

ㅡ Hey, kid ㅡArthur called him. Jack turned to look at him momentarily.ㅡ You're okay, I know you are.

Perhaps Arthur Morgan understood him more than he could understand himself.

Rdr2 Sleep Heacanons Pt 2

Characters:Dutch, Eagle Flies, Abigail, Sadie, Micah

Part 1

Yall seemed to like the first part so here's another one, didn't know which characters to do so it's just whoever I had ideas for.

Sorry these are kinda short

_________________________________________

Dutch:

•Talks in his sleep, you can make out much of it but it's usually something along the lines of "faith" and "society"

•Constantly pushes people off the bed, not on purpose he just moves quite a bit

•Very vivid dreams

•Doesn't snore too often but when he does it's very hard to block out

Eagle Flies:

•The type of guy to be all ready for bed, literally laying down with his eyes closed and than get one thought that mildly pisses him off and now he's pacing around seething

•Probably takes him awhile to fall asleep just cause he's constantly thinking about shit

•When he finally manages to get to bed he tends to mumble a lot

•Likes to sprawl out on whatever space he's sleeping on, just finds it more comfortable than being curled up

Abigail:

•Light sleeper, she's used to waking up to care for Jack so she's pretty easily roused

•John steals the blanket like 90% of the time so she either cuddles closer to him (if they're on good terms at the moment 💀) or just steals it back, leads to a lot of moving around in the bed

•Used to getting pretty little sleep when Jack was young but when he's older she manages to get a lot more rest

Sadie:

•She's always had nightmares but after her husband died they increased ten fold

•Gets cold easily, either needs a bunch of blankets or will just curl up like a fucking gremlin to try and retain warmth

•Sleeps really quietly, like people don't know if she's dead or alive sometimes lmao

•Startles awake often, either from nightmares or just from hearing a sudden noise

Micah:

•Look me in the eyes and tell me this bitch doesn't kick in his sleep

•His dreams are weird as fuck, always wakes up confused from them

•Moves around a LOT

•Snores too

•F in the chat for everyone who shares a tent with him

Micah NSFT/W ABCs

Please check if the ask box is open AND read my “What I write” post before sending in an ask. Thank you.  

A while ago someone asked for the nsft/w abc for Micah but never specified if they wanted ALLl the letters so… here are all the letters for our Ratman that I haven’t already posted. Missing from this post are A, D, I, K  and R, S, U, V, Y

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

His dick. Plain and simple. 

I see him as a boobs guy but he can appreciate a nice ass and good hips. He loves to see a bruise in the shape of his hand on your ass or hip.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

He loves to cum inside you, something about it just makes him feel powerful. The possibility of you getting pregnant makes it even better.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

He's had his fair share of experiences with many of woman (paid and unpaid). He knows what he's doing. Always up for learning something new.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Doggy, no doubt. He likes to hold your hips and slam you back against him. He can snap his hips pretty fast. He'll like to lean over you to whisper dirty things in your ear, grope your chest and pull your hair. He’ll sometimes put his hand around your throat, only squeezing tight if you’re into that.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

If he's sober he'll be serious, might get a bit "giggly" when he's had too much to drink. Being a boobs man he'll definitely motorboat you and make funny noises when drunk. Will compliment you a lot more when drunk (not that he doesn’t sober but when he’s sober he wouldn’t say “Yer eyes are so per-ty”)

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

The only thing he keeps groomed is his stache~

You have to get after him to bathe more. If you join him though he’ll hop in no problem.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

All the time. Especially if you do something to turn him on and you're not there to help him. You will probably walk in on him at least once a week.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Wherever is comfortable. He'll prefer somewhere you don't have to keep too quiet (so not often in camp) but if it's sturdy enough he'll get you on it or against it.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

Praise. Appreciation. Attention. Compliment him. Make him feel strong. Light touches; he’s a bit touch starved for loving touches.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Nothing non-con. I know everyone's idea of him is he's a monster but if someone doesn't want him he can easily go find someone else, paid or unpaid. He doesn't need to scare someone into sleeping with him.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Loves receiving. You will have to beg for him to give to you. It's not that he's not into it he just likes you to beg for his head between your legs. He's not the best at it but practice makes perfect.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

FAST and definitely rough most of the times. Sometimes you're pressed for time, he's about to go on a mission/job or just suddenly has the urge. When there's time he'll slow down, tease and draw it out.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Very much into quickies, especially if it's just oral for him but he’ll always promise to make it up to you when he can.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

No toys, if you’re getting off it’s because of HIM

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

On more than one occasion he’s watched you sleep after sex. He won’t even realize he’s smiling.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

He's packing but it's not too big. Average length, a bit girthy. 

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

It all depends. If you've just sped through two rounds he'll be out like a light. Drag out one round and he'll be sleepy. But a quick single round seems to give him more energy if possible.

(Master List)

[ttuesday]

uh oh! somehow, reader got beat up. pretty bad. thankfully, though, they made it back to camp alive. how would the VDL boys react? 👀

Arthur

When Arthur saw you stumbling into camp, it felt as though his heart stopped for a second. He immediately blames himself, angry that he wasn’t there for you and that this happened.

He stays with you as some of the others patch you up. Arthur does what he can to help clean your wounds but he focuses on helping you through the pain and trying to distract you.

Arthur’s lost a lot of people in his life and he’s very scared of losing you too. As you drift off to a dreamless sleep, Arthur stays with you. He’s not sure if you’ll make it through the night and that is the scary thought he’s had in years.

Charles

Charles tries to stay calm. He knows that if he panics then that will make everything worse. He leaves Susan and some of the others work of stitching you up. Charles was going to do it but when he went to help, he noticed his hands shaking in fear.

That’s never happened to him before but it confirms to Charles how much he cares about you. While you rest, Charles thinks back to all the incredible memories you’ve made together.

Deep down, Charles is scared you won’t be able to make anymore memories with him. He knows there not much he can do now other than hope you’ll wake up so he can tell you that he loves you.

Dutch

Dutch is in a rage. He’s not mad at you or the bastards that did this, the main person he’s mad at is himself.

How could he let this happen? Out of all people, he’s let you down. You, the one person that’s been there for him and helped him through so much. He stays awake all night, watching you and making sure you get some rest.

Dutch needs a plan and he needs to make people pay for this. He can’t think of the possibility of you not getting through this. As you sleep, he promises you that this will never happen again.

Micah

Micah’s never really felt stressed or worried about other people’s health before so this is all new to him. And so Micah reacts the best way he knows how… argue with everyone.

He snaps at Susan and Mary-Beth to work faster on getting you stitched up, punches whoever teases him for caring and eventually he’s told to take a walk to calm down.

Micah stays with you all night, watching you for any sudden spurt of pain. He’s bad at comforting people but he needs you. Micah’s never realised how much you mean to him until now and he doesn’t want to let go of you.

John

The realization slowly sinks in for John. When he first saw you wearily making your way into camp, limping and clutching your side, he didn’t think it would be this serious.

Everything feels like a fever dream. He knows you’re all objectively bad people but you don’t deserve any this. This is a big reality check for John and helps him evaluate who he truly cares about in his life.

John tries to keep himself distracted as he sits beside your bed. He’s never been much of a reader but he picks up whatever books you have lying around and starts to read them. He can’t think about the worst case scenario, not right now.

Javier

Javier’s scared. He can’t keep still, pacing back and forth, running his hand through his hair and then wringing his hand together.

He talks to you throughout everything. When you first got back, he told you how everything was going to be alright and as the others focused on your wounds, he continued to promise you that this won’t be the end for you.

As you sleep, Javier softly sings to you in Spanish. He sings his favourite songs all night and occasionally wipes a stray tear away as he wonders if you’ll recover. 

Bill

Bill panics. He can feel this ball of worry building in his gut as you groan in pain. He knows that technically it was always a possibility you’d get hurt but it’s something he never truly thought about.

He wants to be there for you and he tries to help stitch up one of your wounds but he’s too heavy handed and you hiss in pain. That makes him panic more.

When everything seems to quieten down and you finally get some rest, Bill talks to you. Really he’s just talking to himself but he comes up with different deals, promising to take you to one of those fancy restaurants and buy you a new gun if you get better.

Sean

The instant Sean saw you, he dashed over to help you walk. He makes sure the entire camp knows you need help within seconds of your arrival.

Sean refuses to think of any negative thoughts. They’re not an option. You’re going to get through this and get better, and maybe in a few months time you and him will laugh about this.

He constantly asks the others about if they think you’ll pull through. Sean needs reassurance and for someone else to tell him everything will be ok.

Hosea

Hosea has seen a lot of injuries. Sometimes he’s the one that’s had to patch people up, other times he was the one being patched up. He knows how this works and how to help.

He tries his best to think of this logically and he stays by your side. Hosea overlooks all of your injuries as people hurry around to help. Hosea makes sure everyone does their job perfectly, this isn’t something people can mess up on.

As the night draws in, Hosea holds your hand and gives it a squeeze every few minutes. He knows he should plan for any outcome but gets too distracted by how peaceful you look.

[josiah-trelawny]

Can you do John jerking off headcanons please??

John Marston Masturbating

(gc: elenafishersps1) i sure can duder

john’s not a teenager with a super high sex drive anymore, so he doesn’t really masturbate much. but ever since you joined the gang? he can’t help himself

he’s almost painfully hard by the end of the week. it’s difficult enough for him to not stare at you, and keeping his mind from wandering is nearly impossible

as soon as he goes into his tent, he’s undoing his belt, tossing his gun holster onto the ground, and hastily pulling his work pants down to his ankles

it’s easy enough for him to imagine that you’re the one pumping your hand over his cock. he’s been thinking about it— dreaming about it— for who knows how long

john’s groans are drawn out, desperate, and muffled. when he was a stupidly horny 16yr old, he got used to quieting himself. it’s been so long since he’s masturbated, and this time he has a specific person to masturbate to, so it’s a hell of a lot more difficult to keep his lips sealed

his hips are twitching at his own neediness and he can’t resist jerking upwards into his grip. he can’t stop thinking about you, thinking about how beautiful you’d look naked, thinking about how good you’d feel touching him, thinking about how good it would feel to touch you

it’s almost pathetic how short of a time it takes for john to reach his orgasm. his cum shoots over his hand in a panicky spurt, thick and heavy

[papa-rhys]

Lemme throw this at you: HC's for Javier and an s/o who also plays guitar, but isn't quite as good as him.. Also you're awesome and I love you

He smiles so widely and openly when they first show of their skills. He feels an instant connection to them through their mutual love of music and it’s kind of an epiphany for him when he watches them pluck away at the strings in the firelight. That’s the moment where he really starts to think “I’m in real love with this person.” He also admires their guitar itself, comparing it to his and asking if he can have a go at playing it.

The two of them will often duet around the campfire, both of them playing guitar and singing. The others love the sound of both guitars together. They play the same song but different chords and it words so nicely.

He’ll offer them tips and tell them that if they ever want a lesson or two to help hone their skills, then he’d be happy to help them. He says that music is vital to being happy and it’s important that you know how to play your instrument properly and to the best of your abilities.

They take him up on the offer and the two of them sit somewhere quiet and peaceful and he helps them get a better understanding of how to hold the guitar properly, tune it, care for it, know different chords (rather than playing by ear), etc. 

They teach each other new songs. They’ll teach him songs from their childhood and he’ll teach them songs from Mexico. It warms his heart to see how enthusiastic they are about learning music from his home. Someone taking an interest in something that’s such a big part of him is a huge deal to him. Music is his only connection to Mexico now and he’s often alone in feeling/enjoying that connection, so the idea of having someone to share it with makes him so happy.

Their guitar goes missing one day and after searching high and low for it, they find it with Javier, who’s carefully engraving beautiful patterns into the wood with his knife. He tells them that he thought them deserving of a guitar that looks as beautiful as it sounds when they play it.

[reddeadrevival]

imagine the gang with a reader whos got cool demon horns and a tail who's 24/7 summoning fire to flex on the mortals

Please check if the ask box is open AND read my “What I write” post before sending in an ask. Thank you.  

YES Superhuman Readers! WOO!

After they get over the initial shock…

Swanson is probably going to freak out the most and will probably clean up his act a lot quicker than canon

He’s going to suddenly have a lot more crosses (that don’t do shit against you lbr you’re too badass)

Karen is going to freak second to most and will probably always be wary (and will stick close to Swanson)

Jack is gonna ask Abigail/John when his tail is gonna grow

Cause he thinks it’s so cool you have a tail

He’s gonna ask all kinds of “kid” questions

“Do your horns come off?” “Can you teach my to do that?” “Why does Reverend Swanson keep throwing water on you?”

Get ready to be the official Firebringer™ (Side note, Love Starkids)

Pearson will ask you to help cook things

If anyone goes camping they will ask you to come along/are very glad when you come along

Even though they have matches, free fire is still free fire

Best defense ever

Milton and Ross will F OFF once they see how you can literally burn them and their men to a crisp

Everyone will survive

Sean is on thin ice though cause he’s gonna pull on your tail one night while he’s drunk

And you’re going to burn his eyebrows off

He’s going to wake up, not know/remember and just be utterly confused as people laugh at him throughout the day (Arthur laughing the loudest)

Until Karen takes pity and shows him a mirror

You are NOT allowed near dynamite

It’s a camp rule after a… certain incident

Let’s just say Dutch needed a new tent… and pants

Hope you liked these, now I really wanna go watch Firebringer again. If you have no idea what I’m talking about YouTube Firebringer Starkids and you’ll find the full musical. 10/10 recommend.

[reddeadrevival]

Would you mind doing a sorta gang reaction thing for them finding out about Josiah and the reader being together since they’ve joined the gang? You can of course lower it to only a few of them as well! If you can’t it’s okay and thank you for putting hard work into your blog!

Please check if the ask box is open AND read my “What I write” post before sending in an ask. Thank you.  

Dutch is a little annoyed he didn’t know/notice but overall happy for you two

Mary-Beth is getting paid by the other girls because they had a bet

The others just thought she was being a silly romantic again

A few will be wondering how they were so… unobservant about it (Charles, Arthur, Javier)

Some will just congratulate Trelawney… cause they don’t know what else to say (Sean, Bill)

Others won’t really have a notable reaction, it doesn’t change anything (Susan, Pearson, Swanson, John, Strauss)

Jack will innocently ask if that means the two of you are married

Which will get Mary-Beth (and the girls) giggling

Hosea knew the whole time.

Even if you didn’t tell him. He knew.

I thought of as many as I could. Hope you liked it, I don’t often write anything having to do with Trelawney. I don’t think I’m very good at it.

[papa-rhys]

Following the awesome anon that requested innocent s/o and Javi- how would he behave with being someone’s first everything? Not necessarily nsfw, but soft and fluffy like first appearance (how they met maybe) first exchanges or dates, or first kisses, especially if the s/o is a bit awkward? 🙏🏼

Their first meeting: They met in the general store in Valentine. He came in looking to pick up some tobacco and some carrots for Boaz. He saw them as soon as he walked in; their hands resting on the counter as they look through the catalogue. They ask the shopkeeper for a bottle or horse medicine and he sets the bottle on the counter as they look through their coin purse. They’re 3 cents short and Javier eavesdrops from the corner of the store as they explain to the shopkeeper that their horse is sick and won’t make it if they don’t get it some medicine. The shopkeeper refuses and they get incredibly flustered and upset, but they agree to leave without their medicine and settle for buying a carrot for the horse instead. The shopkeeper bows out for a minute, leaving through the back door to check on something or other, and whilst he’s gone, Javier takes the opportunity to slip behind the counter and help himself to what’s in the register. He raises his finger to his lips to shush them as he cleans the register out and before they leave the store, he calls out to them to wait. They stop and turn to him and he grabs a bottle of horse medicine from the shelf behind him and places it on the counter in front of him. “For you. It’s on the house,” he says. He gives them a wink and they smile sweetly as they take the bottle of medicine. “I hope your horse makes it,” he smiles.

Their first date: Javier saw them around Valentine 3 more times after the general store meeting and on the 4th time, he asked them if they wanted to come and drink with him in the saloon. They explained to him that small town saloons aren’t really their scene as they’re not suited to rowdy places, but he persuaded them to try it out. They spent most of the night drinking quietly and chatting away at a table in the corner of the saloon until a bar fight broke out and they got spooked. Javier got them out just in time for the pianist to get a face full of piano keys and he chuckled away as he watched the commotion rage on from outside the saloon door. His love interest watched as his eyes lit up at the sight of all the fighting and they cracked a smile too as they approached him and stood side-by-side with him for a while, watching the ruckus unfold until they decided that was a good sign that they should head home. Javier accompanied them and their horse home with Boaz.

First kiss: They’ve been seeing each other every now and then for a few weeks now, and although he appears to be holding a lot of things back of and is definitely a little rough around the edges, they both get on very well and are comfortable in each other’s company. He takes them out to the theatre - the first time they’ve seen a variety show - and he puts on some of the moves. He slides his arms around them and as they’re both getting a little bored of the current act, he takes the opportunity to lean in and kiss them.

He happily accepts the offer and hitches Boaz outside while they have a great time sitting in front of their fire place and talking about the world and all it’s faults.
