They're here! Gumiho!Billy and Vampire!Goody! my beloveds! My Old Man Yaoi! They're so beautiful I could cry, they're my desktop wallpaper and my phone wallpaper already.

I was pretty sure Goodnight would be killed off about halfway into the movie, but leaving Billy alive would mean that any of us Goodrocks fans would have to sit through Billy mourning Goody in a 'manly', 'bro-like' way, lacking any of the tension and ambiguity in the relationship that the movie itself showcases. And god knows that Hollywood execs would have greenlit a gay cowboy romance arc in a mainstream action movie reboot back in 20 fucking 16.

Honestly, killing Goody and Billy in the same scene together and making the latter's last words be Goody's name solidified the ship as canon rather than having either one of them be alive.

(That being said, I would've preferred that they both live and ride off into the sunset together).

"Mr. Sunshine" was an AU based on, predictably, the Mr. Sunshine miniseries from Netflix, starring Lee Byung-Hun. The premise was that a chance meeting between Eugene, Goody, and Billy after Eugene got to the US made Billy suspect that Eugene is the son of his half-sister, who'd been sent away as a slave when he was little. So Eugene spent his upbringing in the American West before joining the army and returning to Korea as opposed the east coast.

Billy Rocks loves New York. He’ll never tell Goodnight, of course; he expects his adoration for the city isn’t half as strong as Goodnight’s loathing for it. In fairness, Billy shares some of his distaste for the noise and crowds. But the permanence of the place settles him. It looks like a proper city, a place meant to endure, and a welcome contrast to their lives out West, where towns spring up in a season and die off almost as quickly.

"Respectability" is an Everybody Lives AU in the same timeline as "Impossible." It follows Billy and Goody becoming the proprietors of The Elysium after Gavin's death. 😁

“I need Billy for deputy…” Faraday notes the hard-edged glare he’s getting from both men and quickly amends, addressing himself to Billy instead. “Look, I need you, Rocks. Teddy’s willing, but intimidation is well outside his realm of talent.”

“No chance.” Billy tests the nail, then hangs the larger of the two landscapes to cover stains that were once the blood and brains of Bogue’s hired men.

“Well, there you have it, Joshua.” Goodnight goes back to the ledgers. “We’re aiming to be respectable business owners. We can’t be seen brawling with drunkards in the streets.”
