whumpril 2024 || day 27 - "please don't go."
Their train was derailed by a tornado in Texas. Fifteen people were trapped in the two twisted cars draped over the edge of the canyon, and even more were scattered around the wreckage. Buford was one of them. The winds preceding the next line of storms roused him. He felt glass and wood embedded in his skin as he ambled toward the train on a twisted ankle. On the other side of the overturned seat that pinned Marty’s shoulders to the ground, Buford did little to mask how gruesome the damage was.  How mortal. Marty weakly gripped Buford’s sleeve. “Stay.”

whumpril 2024 || day 26 - "how could you?"
When it came to Marty and Buford’s partnership, betrayal was an assumed, inevitable eventuality. It was a given. One day, Marty would have enough of Buford’s shit or Buford would get sick of Marty dragging him down, and one of them would walk into the nearest sheriff’s office just to report the other and make off with an easy bounty. Marty had the sense to send someone else in exchange for a cut of the money. Buford stared at Marty's empty bedroll as the shackles closed around his wrists. Betrayal was so expected, it was unexpected that it was… unexpected.

whumpril 2024 || day 25 - "brace yourself."
“No, no, no, no, no, please! ” Marty held out his trembling hands, but Buford caught them and pinned them to his heaving chest. “Please, please…” Scared sobs stuttered out of him at the sight of the glowing knife. “You know I have to.” “No, no, I can’t,” Marty whined. He was already hyperventilating. “I can’t, I can’t, please —“ Marty’s yowl buried the obscene hiss of burning flesh. His flailing necessitated a second application.  “No! Sto–!”  Buford coldcocked him. Marty’s eyes crossed before he passed out, finally affording Buford the peace to work on the wound. “That’s enough of that bullshit.”

I can so see them excitedly trading places to “prove” something from the engineer’s chair all haughty but just impatient for their turn to drive the train.

What do think happens if Doc Brown and Sheldon Cooper talk about trains? Because as fellow train-enthused scientists, I'm curious.

Let's Do the Time Warp Again
Fandom: Back to the Future || Rating: T || Genre: Angst, Friendship
Summary: Biff's gang successfully jumps Marty's past self after he performs Johnny B. Goode at the dance. On the precipice of an unprecedented paradox, Marty is forced to dive headlong into a time loop by replacing himself at the clocktower and returning to 1985. Can Doc figure out a way to break the loop before its toll on Marty jeopardizes the space-time continuum?

whumpril 2024 || day 24 - eyes rolled back
They’d done it a dozen times. Marty ambushed the stagecoach from the bridge while Buford rode up from behind, a storm unable to be outrun. Not all drivers were compliant or frightened. Marty regrettably had to shoot a few feet to be taken seriously. Buford did worse.  And they walked away richer men. Until one day, a disgruntled passenger fired his shotgun through the roof. Marty fell into a cactus – and hit his head on a rock.  He struggled to stay conscious as Buford dismounted. “Eastwood!” Marty’s eyes rolled back. Closed. Buford sighed.  “Figures you’d fall in a fucking cactus.”

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

Just so you all realize and see it in action:
This fic was finished in 2015 and the author hadn't had a comment since 2016. They appreciated the comment even though it was just emoji hearts, they were happy and surprised to receive love on their older fic.
Don't stop commenting just because it's an old piece or because you think you can't come up with something smart, witty or thoughtful to say.
Just say anything. Just put an emoji. Just let them know you appreciate their work.

whumpril 2024 || day 23 - presumed dead
Deep underground, the scrape of chains in the dirt interrupted the distant trickle of rainwater in the mineshaft.  Buford drew his revolver, pointed it to his right—  And lowered it. “Eastwood?” Under his bulbous black eye and layers of aged blood, Marty was emaciated — skin sallow and muscles atrophied. Black flesh festered around the rusted chain on his bony ankle. A weak wheeze snaked up his parched airway. He wore the same clothes he’d disappeared in – four months ago. Buford knelt. He planted his torch in the ground. Not a crumb of food. Just chains. “Who did this to you?”
