Summary: ” – don’t need your help,” snapped a strangely familiar voice. Goodnight frowned, mind tumbling through page after page of distant memory, trying to place it. “It’s four goddamn stairs, I ain’t scaling a mountain.”
“You almost fell coming up the porch, guerito,” a second voice responded, chiding. The low, thick accent of it jarred Goodnight starkly back into the past, immediately revealing the identity of both speakers. “Just give me your hand, idiota terco.”
“Damn,” Billy muttered with feeling, as he too recognized the strangers. He cut a dark, knowing look at Goodnight, eyes narrowing at the sudden, elated edge to Goodnight’s grin.

Author(s): ThrillingDetectiveTales
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Vasquez/Faraday, Goodnight/Billy
Notes: Soulmate AU, Novella
Rating: FRT
Status: Ongoing
Summary: “Shut up, Clay,” Faraday muttered. He let his gaze linger on the red mark for a long second, the hard white buzz of shock rattling his thoughts to pieces and sending them spinning.
His stomach twisted as he recognized the peculiar tugging sensation that had been plaguing him all night for what it really was – a magnetic pull toward whatever poor bastard was on the other end of this tie, some mystical accident of biology trying like hell to draw Faraday into the distant promise of a soul-mate.

Notes: Modern AU, Made me laugh so hard I couldn’t breathe
Rating: FRT
Status: Completed
Summary: “Oh hell no.” Faraday snaps with more venom than Goodnight can understand. He’s got a half-empty beer in one hand and Vasquez in the other since the man had decided to climb into his lap at least two drinks ago. “You put that away, missy. I ain’t gettin’ arrested tonight because you don’t know how to behave at a bachelor party.”

Cold hands, Warm Heart
Author(s): StarlingGirl
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Vasquez/Faraday
Notes: Everybody lives
Rating: FRM
Status: Completed
Summary: ‘Faraday looks at the bath, and then back at Vasquez.
“Your ribs are aching,” Vasquez says, simply – as if that worryingly astute knowledge is clear excuse for his actions. Whatever else it is, though, it is true – and the thought of warm water easing that ache is too much to pass by.’
For the prompt ‘hair-washing’. There is a bath and there is oddly sweet sex between two cowboys who haven’t quite figured it out yet.

Notes: None
Rating: FRAO
Status: Completed
Summary: “See, the way I figure it, there’s more than one way to take comfort in a house of God,” Faraday says. “Your call. Only best I can say is that most praying involves kneeling of one kind or another, and I’m not much good at the other varieties.”

Rating: FRT
Status: Completed
Summary: Jack, who still had the devil in him most days and didn’t appreciate suddenly having a rider who wouldn’t let him stretch his legs, pawed at the dirt a little. He turned his big, wet eyes on Josh and asked, ears twitching, “Why are we crossing this hot, dry desert?”
Josh blinked.
“Excuse me?”
It was a fine question, excepting that it had come from a horse.

★ Frontier Cadence
Author(s): manic_intent
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Goodnight/Billy, Vasquez/Faraday
Notes: Everybody lives, Novella
Rating: FRM
Status: Completed
Summary: The revelation that he was in fact alive and in one piece came as a total surprise to Josh Faraday. Granted, this wasn’t in fact his first rodeo with certain-but-then-thwarted death, and as such, Faraday stared muzzily in a semi-drugged daze at the cracked ceiling for a long and puzzled moment before panic set in. He groped downwards. Nope. Dick still intact. Faraday relaxed.
“It absolutely goddamned figured,” Goodnight said dryly somewhere to his left, “that you’d be worried about that first before everythin’ else.”

★ Heaven Need a Sinner
Author(s): ThrillingDetectiveTales
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Vasquez/Faraday
Notes: Everybody lives, Novella
Rating: FRM
Status: Completed
Summary: If it had just been the once, Faraday thought a little desperately, they could have shrugged it off as a drunken mistake – Lord knew they’d both been fairly well corned that night, riding high on the success of their grand entry into town. Twice even, and they might have managed it.
Yet here he was for the fifth or sixth time in half as many days, sprawled on his back across one of mattresses upstairs in the Imperial with Vasquez between his legs while the saloon rolled merrily on below.

★ Luck of the Draw
Author(s): kittykatthetacodemon
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Goodnight/Billy, Vasquez/Faraday (eventually)
Notes: Superpowers AU, Everybody lives, Novella
Rating: FRT
Status: Ongoing
Summary: It’s the late 1800s, and one in four folks out west in the precarious settler communities develops a gift, a unique power that gives them some kind of advantage. Sam Chisolm has enhanced senses. Billy Rocks is damn hard to kill. Goody doesn’t have a gift, unless you count being a stone-cold badass when the mood strikes. Vasquez is an empath, Red Harvest controls lightning, and Jack Horne can see the future. Emma Cullen, their new employer, can sometimes raise the dead.
And Faraday? Well, he’s harmless, really. He’s got his own skills, a bit of this and that. Nothing to worry about.
Or: that one AU where everything is the same, except nobody dies and also they have superpowers.
