[♠] "We’re gonna need you in the fight." [♠] "Take it from someone whose blood is already half spirits – the whiskey don't always work." [♠] "I want you to know, I don’t have any regrets."

[♠] "Reckon I’ll be just as handsome if you butcher my hair and chop up my jaw, too."
ghost au
[♠] "What’s the matter? You look like you’ve seen a ghost." [♠] "I think I might try'n'get you to smoke, next. Maybe play poker." [♠] "You hate when I touch you." [♠] "You’re right. I’m a plague. I’m a punishment." [♠] "...I missed seein' you." [♠] "This must be the thousandth time you’ve tested it." [♠] "Don't believe there's a man alive in Rose Creek that's earned that privilege." [♠] "I suppose you could call it a reconciliation, of sorts." [♠]"Miss Emma? There someone you're talkin' to?" [♠]"You really don't understand who's tyin' you here?" [♠] "You say that like I haven't already fallen in love." [♠] "But I can at least tell you that wakin’ up from one of those fits? Part of me wished there was someone there." [♠] "No bullet's going to put down a dead man." [♠] "I know. I just— I don't like not bein' able to do anything."

[♠] "Trapped" is right, then, if you keep havin' to see me." [♠] "Bein' dead means there aren't a lot of things I have to do, anymore." [♠] "Old man didn't appreciate my takin' his money from him. Ned Greenwood. I told him he oughtn't have wagered it if he didn't wanna lose it."
agent au
[♠]"Make it convincing. Make it work." [♠] "I say this every time, but please try not to do anythin' stupid tonight." [♠]One door, closed, leading out. One small window, covered. One red-haired woman in a chair, quietly dozing— [♠] "You worried your new fella's gonna chase you down?"
soulmate au
[♠] "Just 'cause we're marked don't make the stories true." [♠] "You know, I really— I really liked this jacket." [♠] "Where's that leave us?" [♠] "Seems a fine night for a walk, anyway." [♠] "D'you think treatin' me all domestic is gonna make me stay, fill up this empty nest of yours?" [♠]But this year, he's got something, and it's terrifying, as much as it is comforting.
fallout au
[♠] "That'd mean killin' somethin' worth eatin'. And considerin' most of what we kill is people..." [♠] "It would be a shame to waste this bourbon by tossin' it in your face, Faraday." [♠] "What, you ain’t ever heard of ghosts before? I bet I could be dead and complain, if I really set my mind to it." [♠]"We review our neighbors thoroughly before allowing them to stay. They go through a probationary period, and if it seems they’re a good enough fit, it’s because we’ve deemed them such."

[♠] "Don't let Bogue take your second chance, if you can't keep yourself alive to the end. Folks can't come back twice." [♠]And like all the other men caught in the explosion of his making, Faraday is very, very dead.
[♠] "I was gonna ask why you’re such an ass, but I think that’ll just be a mystery for the rest of time." [♠]"Te extrañare, guerito."

[♠] "I don't make a habit of abusin' dead trees just to waste the lead." [♠] "Why would I do that when I like having you all to myself?" [♠] "I move forward because of you." [♠] "Quit your bellyachin’ and gimme your hands."
fallout au
[♠] "This is nearly a halfway decent dump. Shame about the neighbors, though." [♠] "You want me to give you and this guitar some privacy?" [♠] "Relax, darlin’. Whatever’s down here, I’d bet we’re the first ones to draw breath in a long while."
monster au
[♠] "You say that like we don’t scare everyone already." [♠] "I hope you’re hungry, perrito." [♠] "You don't got no one to blame but yourself when you wind up dinner, y'hear me?"
space au
[♠] "You risked your neck breakin’ into a jail on a station with an increased presence from the Central Planets, just ‘cause you wanted to play at shenanigans."
[♠] "It is an absolute marvel, how I never considered such a possibility. I thank you deeply for your wisdom." [♠] "What, unfriendly specters don’t usually factor into your work? Color me surprised." [♠] "You stupid goddamn bastard. What the hell were you thinkin’?"
[♠] "Only a fool would look at the sort of odds we're facin' and tell you he ain't scared." [♠] "Which do you despise more? The pain, or being told to stay in your bed?" [♠]But Faraday supposes some roots grow in deep, once they're settled. Supposes, but doesn't know. [♠]And for the first time in a long time, his gun belt sits on his hips.
[♠] "Someone has to make sure you can ride out of here without needing a grave of your own, eh?"
monster au
[♠] "Centuries of monsters, and I still stand. It will take more than un perrito to take my life." [♠] Vasquez was the trump card, he thinks, nigh unkillable and terrifying as the man was. The wolf was just a big fucking surprise, but an effective one. [♠] "Wouldn't that just be the way, though? You dig through my guts to save my life, only to have me as a morning snack." [♠] "Told you before: I'm not going to shoot you. No point having them, if I'm not going to use them tonight." [♠] "They say that sometimes, when they sacrifice to their trickster, he curses the world with a caminante de sangre." [♠] "You, I can suffer a few bites. Him? I will pump him full of silver before he has a chance to get close." [♠] " I had thought it a miracle the bite didn't kill me outright, but I had chalked it up to quick thinkin' and an altogether inexpert application of spare rags as bandaging."
statesman au
[♠]There's no hitch in the precision, in the way he moves opposite Faraday, because he knows exactly how his partner fits into their rhythm. [♠] "All I know is, it feels like we just put down a landmine, and we're both tryin' not to set it off."
