Just The Boys Masterlist
Tumblr media
Main Masterlist
This is a collection of my all of my fics written as pairings for fictional male characters who did not have enough content to justify being on their own masterlists. All NSFW fics are marked as SMUT!
The shortest list by far: only contains Quinn McKenna and Marcus Moreno 😅 but that can change in a heartbeat
Reader Inserts
A Halo Of Holly Part 1 & Part 2 WITH MARCUS MORENO (Pedro Pascal) from We Can Be Heroes (2019) | 1.3k & 2.3k words | 1940′s Christmas AU you are a single mother and your sons best friend has a handsome single father, so isn’t falling in love fated?
Day Twenty Two: Thigh Riding WITH CAPTAIN QUINN MCKENNA (Boyd Holbrook) from Predators (2018) | 1.3k words | hunting a hyper deadly alien shouldn’t be this boring, but at least your boss is hot and pressed up against you

But before I get to the rules and regulations, I’d like to wish all of my lovely friends and followers a Happy New Year. I hope whatever you set out to do this year, you kick it in the tail and if you don’t have anything in mind yet to accomplish this coming year, then that’s ok too. 🥂

Hello hello!!!! Im really curious to know more about your wild west au🥰 I have two old west oc myself and love hearing about other people's oc!👀 are you gonna do a world setting too??
Hey, Mariam! Sorry for takin' so long to get back to you. Things have been a bit all over the place on my end lately, but thank you for the ask!
I don't wanna give too much away, cuz I have some fun connections that I'm gonna bring to the table. Mainly, I have my three boys. Christian, Jimmy, and Matthew. The first two (my Charlie Hunnam and Garrett Hedlund muses) are brothers. Matt (my Boyd Holbrook muse) is Christian's best-friend that he meets in his unit while fighting for Ulysses S. Grant. That puts them around 21 yrs old during the Cold Harbor War, which was in 1864.
From there, the details of their timeline and story is getting worked out, but eventually, they start traveling across country. Putting the boys around 35 years of age once they do get to where they're going. They're set to be in Santa Fe around 1876. Eventually ending up around Pendleton, Oregon in 1878-1880. That's altered, too, cuz the Pendleton Round-Up was founded in 1910, but I'm changing that timeline to fit my story a bit better.
There are variations to actual events and people from that era, keeping this more AU, but some very well known ones are going to be added. I will say that I know, for sure, that Josiah "Doc" Scurlock will get tossed into the mix. He'll be a big influence on Christian and will end up joining them in Oregon after leaving Billy the Kid's gang after the Lincoln County War. It'll be a bit different from history, but also similar, since Doc did leave Billy's crew after that with his wife. He'll also be somewhat similar to how he was portrayed in "Young Guns". I know those films are inaccurate to the actual history of who that guy was, so I'm stealing a bit of both fact and fiction.
I have plans for all kinds of people to throw into their travels, because the places they'll end up, along with the timelines of their journey's, will put them smack dab in the middle of some of the most notorious showdowns and bumping into some of the most infamous outlaws of the Wild West.
I'm not able to sit and write very much these days, just because I don't have a good computer chair and am constantly busy. Plus, my health (mainly my brain from epilepsy) has been draining me more than it used to. So sadly, I don't know how soon I'll have anything substantial to post. I'm just playing with outlines, research, and setting up a basic timeline for now.
One thing I can tell you for certain is that my title of my Wild West AU is "There Have Always Been Crows". It's both giving a nod to Charlie Hunnam's "Jax Teller" character from Sons of Anarchy, as well as to my muse, Matt, in his biker AU. He's obsessed with crows in that verse and feeds them regularly. There will be different references to crows off and on in the Wild West AU, starting with a battle scene and then crows bein' brought up at various moments down the line. For instance, Jimmy mistaking a raven for a crow; having the birds steal food out of the guys' packs while they go take a leak while riding across country; random stuff like that. Eventually, the crows will have a deeper meaning and significance for the end of the storyline. Already got that scene in my head.
As for world building, I'm sticking to as much of the legitimate history as possible, but bein' careful with specifics. Especially, where the Chinese immigrants and Native Americans are involved in the creation of Pendleton, Oregon, as well as bringing in more women farmhands. There's a lot of misinformation and hidden truths that the settlers tried to cover up, but also some very cool factoids that were written into the history books. Like that it was much more common for women to be working ranches by themselves, because the men were off at war, or helping to mine and work the steel mills in order to create more guns and supplies for troops.
Also, Pendleton was one of the first, colonized towns in the Pacific Northwest that had Chinese immigrants running their own shops. I'm having it set that Doc Scurlock's wife ends up opening and running her own clothing store in town, since he's friends with the boys who are helping to make that town become a wildly huge success story with their assistance in building up the rodeo.
I should probably stop, cuz I'm giving a lot of info away. LMAO! I get chatty when I get passionate and giddy about somethin' like this. Heh! But thank you for the ask and I hope this helps answer some of your questions! Feel free to DM me or send asks anytime! Even if I'm slow, I will respond, eventually. XD

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
The thing about a franchise like McDonalds is that you can go to any outlet and knows exactly what to expect. A few years ago I toured Turkey and Greece. After 3 weeks of lamb kabobs and souvlaki I was desperate for something familiar. When I got back to Athens I went straight to the McDonalds on Syntagma Square and ordered a Big Mac meal. It was delicious and exactly what I wanted.
Movie Franchises operate in the same way. A movie with a new idea, or state of the art effects will be successful. It becomes a franchise when the studio orders sequels. The marching orders are to make the sequel more of the same. The hero is never in any real danger, otherwise who will star in the next sequel.
When George Lucas and Steven Spielberg reinvented the 1930s serial adventure with Indiana Jones, a new iconic hero was born. Four sequels followed over the next 42 years.
Of course, like everyone else I loved Raiders of the Lost Ark. I don’t remember the details of Temple of Doom except that the excessive violence gave birth to the PG13 rating (and Spielberg himself hated it). Last Crusade was fun, with Sean Connery as Indy’s dad.
Then… a 19 year wait until Crystal Skull. Ugh. In my opinion it’s worse of the bunch. Adding scifi to Indy’s resume was a big mistake. But did Lucas and Spielberg learn their lesson not to go back to the same well again? No.
With another 15 year wait, Dial Of Destiny arrived at theaters this week. What did these masters of cinema deliver? More of the same… lots more of the same. There are more Nazis, more long chase scenes; more Christ-related artifacts, and more science fiction! Did I mention more Nazis?
I’ve got to hand it to Harrison Ford. He gives it the old college try, huffing and puffing through each chase. At the age of 81, for his sake I hope a stunt double did most of the hard stuff. I imagine insuring Ford in case of accidental death took a chunk of the $295 million budget.
Tumblr media
But it was nice seeing John Rhys-Davies in a couple of scenes. I probably shouldn’t say this but I was surprised he is still alive. But guess what? He is 2 years younger than Ford.
Co-Star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is the most unlikable character in the entire Indiana Jones pantheon. She is an annoying and untrustworthy - more so than the Nazis.
Tumblr media
I need to mention Ethann Isidore, he plays a young teen who is this film’s Short-Round. I suspect Harrison Ford will forget all about him until Isidore wins an Oscar in 20 years.
Speaking of the Nazi villains, Mads Mikkelsen plays a Nazi scientist trying to get his hands on the McGuffin. Mikkelsen can play Nazi villains in his sleep but I thought the character was underwritten. No real motivation other than “I’m a power hungry Nazi.”
Tumblr media
Boyd Holbrook and Thomas Kretschmann also play Nazis. I’d love to ask them “Don’t you ever get tired of playing Nazis?!?”
As I mentioned, there are several chased sequences - in streets and tunnels of NYC, in the crowded streets and alleys of Marrakech, and another that I’ve already forgotten entirely about. But here’s the thing about the chase scenes… it doesn’t matter how fast they go or the short cuts they take, the Villains always catch up to the heroes within a couple minutes - every single time.
And the most annoying thing of the entire plot… Mikkelsen and his Nazi thugs kill plenty of innocent people throughout the kill. But when Mikkelsen finally obtains the McGuffins he was searching for, does he kill Indy? No - like a Bond villain, he decides to Monologue is plans and bring Indy with him through the <redacted> to witness his triumph. Such Bullshit.
And the scifi element? I won’t describe it but it is full of plot holes and so far beyond anything featured in an Indiana Jones movie so far, it’s more laughable than the aliens in Crystal Skull.
I’m sure you’ve read that, like other movies starring old actors, Harrison Ford was “de-aged” for portions of the films. While it looks better than the first de-aging I saw in “X-Men Last Stand”. Young Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen looked like cabbage patch dolls!
Tumblr media
The problem with the de-aging here it that the scenes go on way too long. And the longer you see it, the weirder it becomes. It’s especially noticible when his face is in shadows or in profile (his nose just looks weird). They should have just used it briefly, but the scenes go on about 15 minutes.
NOTE 1: There are NO scenes after the credits BUT the final scene of the movie may be its best.
NOTE 2: The film is rated PG13. It’s probably due to the extraordinary people shot and murdered throughout the movie - lots of Nazis and lots of civilians too.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 93%
Temple of Doom (1984) 77%
Last Crudade (1989) 84%
Kingdom of the crystal skull (2008) 77%
Dial of Destiny (2023) 66%

𝚁𝙴𝙱𝚄𝙸𝙻𝙳𝙴𝙳𝚂  𝙰𝚂𝙺𝙴𝙳  :   5, 7, & 39 !
Tumblr media
5. WHAT IS A CHARACTER YOU HAVE NEVER WRITTEN, BUT WANTED TO  :  in terms of nox, george weasley, tonks, madam zabini and xeno ! i don't think i could ever pick up any of them for various reasons, but i do think i'd have had a lot of fun developing them. in terms of anything else i just have a bunch of original character ideas and nowhere to really put them. bummer, but only while i'm thinking of it !
7. WHAT CHARACTERS DO YOU RELATE TO THE MOST  :  i don't know which way i am meant to take this ! like. characters i play or just fictional characters in general. i think i've put a lil bit of myself - sometimes only the teeniest amount but still, enough - into all my played characters, so that's hard to narrow down. probably i related to keira or marietta - who share a lot of core characterisations, honestly - the most, but even then, they're very formed by their pasts in a way that makes them very unique FROM me. fictional character wise, i don't really know. i have really pondered this for the last ten minutes. i don't know ! nobody and everyone. again, i think the issue is that i can usually see something of myself in all my favorite characters which is why they're my favorite, but when it boils down to it, i don't really relate to them much. again. they're too informed by their own lives for me to really be able to.
39. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE BEST FACE CLAIM DECISION YOU'VE EVER MADE  :  oooh, tough ( especially since, not to toot my own horn, i have been kind of a trendsetter within the hp rpc ... most of my general castings have been adopted elsewhere when i was the first person to suggest them so. hehe. ). i think for nox and my own characters within it, i'm most pleased with chase sui wonders as marietta & davika hoorne as pansy - i think both suit the way i read those characters and the way i formed my take on them better than i could've hoped from anyone else, especially davika because. i struggled very much finding someone who DID fit my vision of pansy, when i finally got around to apping to her. including lumos, sandra oh / jung hoyeon as sybill & melis sezen as lily. including aurora, i will NEVER top odessa a'zion as cordelia - i don't think some of you guys know i had her casted for almost two years before i actually created aurora, and i didn't even intend on playing her. i thought i'd go for portia when the time came, to be honest. i'm pondering the entirety of my time in the rpc in gen and i think aside from those guys, the only characters i'm really proud of casting are my key marvel canons - gemma chan for jean grey, boyd holbrook for clint barton, vanessa kirby for emma frost and lindsey morgan for laura kinney. i haven't been that attached to face claim in a long time, so those are the only ones in other canons i've played and other original characters i've played where like. i'm unlikely to ever switch it up because i feel like i hit perfection already.

Give me your top 5 ship pairings and top five favourite actors and their characters that gave you brainrot!!
Thank you, dear Bren! 🥰
Top 5 ship pairings:
Clement Mansell and Sandy Stanton (Justified: City Primeval) My current ship
Steve Murphy and Javier Peña (Narcos) I ship them but not in a romantic way, I just loved their chemistry and work relationship
Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson (Elementary) The same as Steve and Javi
Jesse Custer and Tulip O'Hare (Preacher) They were so badass together, but I will never forgive Tulip for sleeping with Cassidy, my fictional crush at the time
Takeshi Kovacs and Kristin Ortega (Altered Carbon) It's been a while since I have seen this show, but I think Kristin was mainly with Tak, because he was wearing her boyfriend's sleeve. Regardless, they looked good together
Top five favourite actors and their characters that gave me brainrot:
Boyd Holbrook: The Corinthian (The Sandman) Clement Mansell (Justified: City Primeval) If you know me than no explanation is needed😁
Joel Kinnaman Takeshi Kovacs (Altered Carbon) He was so hot and badass, even with a pink backpack🥵
Jonny Lee Miller Sherlock Holmes (Elementary) I was surprised how many tattoos he has and they are all Jonny's, they were not fake😊
Bill Skarsgård Keith (Barbarian) He was so handsome and cute 🥰SPOILER! too bad his character died too soon😭
Max Riemelt Andi Werner (Berlin Syndrome) Wolfgang Bogdanow (Sense8) I know Andi was a psychopath, but he was so charming at times and Max looked great with dark hair🥵 I didn't really watch Sense8, only Wolfgang's scenes, but the few steamy nude scenes he had… Oh my God!🥵🥵

The last four fictional characters in your camera roll are your new roommates:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
OH BOY, that would be one intense, angsty hot mess of a household and I really don’t think poor Jesse would survive (not least of all because of the others’ anti-drugs stance) 🤣 Also can’t stop laughing at how apt the Jesse gif is for these circumstances...
Thanks for the tag @ionlyjoinedforboydholbrook 😊
No pressure tags: @kesskirata, @massivecolorspygiant, @itssmashedavo and anyone else who wants to join in!

Don't mind me... Just questioning my sanity while watching Narcos. Because men like Wagner Moura make me feel attracted to Pablo Escobar and other narcotraficante and their acting makes me sympathize with the bad guys ✨.
Just chillin and being excited whenever Pacho, Navegante and Co appear on screen. You know. Normal stuff.

I know interaction has been down here in the Tumblr-verse lately but I’ve decided to do a celebration anyway. I hope you’ll come say hello and drop something in my inbox ♥️

My two muses I write for are Matt Murdock and Billy Russo, although there are a few characters that I wouldn’t mind trying to write for ( Dean Winchester, Donald Pierce, Quinn McKenna, Brock Rumlow, but I’m really scared to. Maybe I just need a nudge 🤣

Send in any character with a fall activity (apple picking, Halloween related, cider tasting, etc.) and I’ll make a moodboard for you
Song Lyric Prompt

Send me a character and a song lyric (from those time periods) and I’ll see what it inspires me to write
Miscellaneous
Send me a character plus a fluffy or smexy gif and I can try to write a drabble/fic based off of that gif

More casting news on Sandman...
Every afternoon I get an email telling me that there are “dailies” from The Sandman ready to be watched. It's the best bit of the day. Once every few weeks I get an email letting me know that there's a finished episode waiting for me to watch it. It's the best bit of the month.
The Sandman is being made, and it's... well, it's The Sandman. Which is the best thing of all.
You may know that The Sandman is based on my comic book series of the same name. A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are interwoven, The Sandman follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic — and human — mistakes he's made during his vast existence.
You might already know that Tom Sturridge (he/him) is Dream of the Endless, Gwendolyn Christie (she/her) is Lucifer, Sanjeev Bhaskar (he/him) and Asim Chaudhry (he/him) are Cain and Abel, Charles Dance (he/him) is Roderick Burgess, Vivienne Acheampong (she/her) is Lucienne, and Boyd Holbrook (he/him) is The Corinthian.
But there are more parts to be announced. And I thought it would be fun to tell you about some of them, and the thinking behind them.
DEATH – Dream's wiser, nicer, and much more sensible sister. Significantly harder to cast than you might imagine (well, than I imagined, anyway). Hundreds of talented women from all around the planet auditioned, and they were brilliant, and none of them were right. Someone who could speak the truth to Dream, on the one hand, but also be the person you'd want to meet when your life was done on the other. And then we saw Kirby Howell-Baptiste's (she/her) audition and we knew we had our Death.
DESIRE – Dream's sibling and everything you want, whatever you want and whoever you are. Desire is also trouble for Dream. Families are complicated. We had barely started looking when Mason Alexander Park (they/them) reached out on Twitter, and threw their hat into the ring. We were thrilled when they got the part.
DESPAIR – Desire's twin, Dream's sister. She is the moment when all hope is gone, the bleakest of the Endless. Donna Preston (she/her) will be playing her, and her performance is chilling and sad. You feel her pain.
JOHANNA CONSTANTINE – Eighteenth Century occult adventuress, John Constantine’s great-great-great grandmother. This Sandman character became so popular that she even had her own spin-off series. I created her to fill the role that John Constantine does in the past. When we broke down the first season, given that we knew that we would be encountering Johanna in the past, we wondered what would happen if we met a version of her in the present as well. We tried it and the script was sparkier, feistier, and in some ways even more fun. So having written her, we just had to cast her. Jenna Coleman (she/her) gave us the Johanna of our dreams – tough, brilliant, tricky, haunted and probably doomed.
ETHEL CRIPPS – Roderick Burgess's love, John Dee's mother, is a small but vital role in the comics, but she became more important as we told our story. In the 1920s and 30s, she is played by Niamh Walsh (she/her): a betrayed and determined young woman seeking to survive. In the present day, now a woman of a hundred identities and a thousand lies, she's played by the brilliant Joely Richardson (she/her).
JOHN DEE – Ethel's son is dangerous. He was driven mad, long ago. Now he's out and on a quest for Truth that may destroy the world. We needed an actor who could break your heart and keep your sympathy while taking you into the darkest places. We were lucky that David Thewlis (he/him) took the part.
Now we're shooting The Doll's House, the second big Sandman storyline. It's the story of:
ROSE WALKER – a young woman on a desperate search for her missing brother, who finds a family she didn't know that she had, and a connection to Dream that neither of them can escape. We needed someone young who could make you care as she ventures into some very dangerous places. Boyd Holbrook's Corinthian is waiting for her, after all. Kyo Ra (she/her) achieves that as Rose.
LYTA HALL – Rose’s friend, a young widow mourning her husband Hector. Rose doesn't know that Hector has started showing up in Lyta's dreams, though. Or that strange things are happening. Razane Jammal (she/her) is Lyta, and she's terrific.
UNITY KINKAID - Heiress, Rose's mysterious benefactor. She has spent a century asleep. Now she's awake, having missed out on her life. She's played by Sandra James Young (she/her).
GILBERT – Rose Walker's debonair protector. A dab hand with a paradox and a sword cane. Stephen Fry (he/him) is a National Treasure, and we forget sometimes that he's also a remarkable actor. Seeing him in costume and make up on the dailies made me blink: it was as if the comic had come to life.
MATTHEW  – Dream’s trusted emissary. A raven. I expected our animals to be CGI, and was both taken aback and thrilled when the dailies started coming in, and there was Dream talking to... well, a raven. But ravens don't really talk. The question was, could we find an actor who could make you care about a dead person who was now a bird in the Dreaming – one who isn't certain what's going on, or whether any of this is a good idea? And could we find a voice performer who was also the kind of Sandman fan who used to stand in line to get his Sandman comics signed? The answer was, we could if we asked Patton Oswalt (he/him). And Patton was the first person we asked, and the first person we cast, the day before we pitched The Sandman to Netflix.
Of course, there are more delights and nightmares cast than I've listed here, and we have a few more secrets up our sleeves. I can't wait until you can start watching.

Javier Peña is a real person. Pretty sure he didn’t consent to your fics written about him, so guess you’ve written rpf boo
Hey anon did you know that the Netflix series Narcos starring Pedro Pascal and Boyd Holbrook is a fictional retelling of the story of how the DEA hunted down and killed Pablo Escobar, then literally went on to give Pedro an entire season about taking down the Cali Cartel which the real Javier Peña wasn’t even actually involved in? Did you also know that both Javier Peña and Steve Murphy consented to having the show made about them, even going so far to have cameos in the show?
Did you know that the Narcos version of Javier Peña is a fictionalization of a person, made with his consent, and is therefore a character? Did you know that that makes it about a CHARACTER and therefore not rpf??????
Go find a hobby or something.

Extremely specific fanfic assumption: Fucking Boyd Holbrook is A Thought you may have had. And, like, Inception, it is a dream you need to explore thoroughly at every level. ;)
I like how you say MAY have had. May. uwu. Totally using this ask as an excuse to post some of my favorite gifs to thirst over, too.

(Exhibit A-D: A snacc™)
PS: After much exploring I have come to a kind of interim conclusion that thicc Boyd is my favorite physical form of all but that fictional Steve Murphy is my favorite Boyd character. Exploration to be continued tho. (The Corinthian my beloved...) For science. :3
