Laying down the law is hard goddamned work: there are bootleggers to catch, train robbers to stop, rules to enforce, civil disputes to referee - keeping order requires constant vigilance and attention. The settlement is expanding faster than any of them could have imagined: they've got houses, stores; a bank, a church, a jailhouse, two saloons, and even what's probably a whorehouse, which he decides he is being awful big about turning a blind eye to.
They'll be okay for five more minutes, Sheriff Schubert decides; he kicks up his boots and tilts down the brim of his hat, prolonging his nap in the dusty afternoon sunshine.
the amazing adventures of hero and the kidshakedownstarsNovember 11 2011, 04:33:15 UTC
Hero, real name: Jordan (he thinks the code name's kind of lacklustre but it's kind of stuck after his sidekick, The Kid, a.k.a. Taylor, informs him that 'Mr. Clutch' sounds like something out of a gay porno) knows that what they do is important - this much is evidenced by them bringing the dastardly cat burglar, Senor Torres, to justice tonight - but from their vantage point on top of the low-rise building as they watch the police arrest Senor Torres from where they've rendered him immobile across the street, Hero gloomily thinks about how he would really love for just one, one, uninterrupted date night, even if it's only a dinner of KD and then three hours of Call of Duty in sweatpants, followed by sloppy hand jobs and awkward spooning.
He turns when The Kid clears his throat and strides over, lifting up Hero's mask enough to kiss him: "You did good tonight, we did good; let's go home - I'll blow you and then beat you at 2K12

Really? That's so weird to me, though I guess not so weird when one recalls that Taylor was drafted first and Jordan wasn't, I guess. It's just that, in my understanding at least, Jordan's the leader and with the way Taylor watches Jordan, Taylor would probably follow him to the ends of the earth.
(Also, let's not kid ourselves: Jordan tops. Not that I think about them having sex or whatever though. Huh. :/ )
princess lil' peekaboo and her knight in shining armour!shakedownstarsNovember 11 2011, 04:34:37 UTC
Admittedly, the whole thing is kind of confusing to begin with, how Princess Lil' Peekaboo isn't actually a princess, nor actually named Peekaboo (which is probably a good thing since Sam thinks that it would be cruel to name your kid that), but for the most part, Sam often feels like it's better not to ask questions.
He storms the castle, he slays the dragon; he even manages to break the curse that locks the door to the room at the very top of the tower - but in no way is he prepared for what faces him on the other side: apparently, Princess Lil' Peekaboo is a blond man-child with unruly curls, an ill-fitting shirt and a perpetual smirk.
"Took you long enough," the boy says in greeting, but invades Sam's personal space almost immediately, wrapping his arms around Sam and burying his face against Sam's neck, and despite himself Sam holds him close and tries not to think about how this is the loveliest thing that could have happened at the end of the journey.
