Thank you for the SCRUMPTIOUS Poco Edgar comic meal- May I ask if we know who pulled the trigger? Is it someone we're familiar with, or just an unnamed gang for the au? Also, how did Poco and Edgar get together in the AU as well? Was it before or after Edgar joined the goldarm gang?
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
The person who pulled the trigger is Gunslinger Colt, who is considered an entirely different person from Classic Colt.
(I can't take credit for Villain!Gunslinger though, that honor goes to @starrysupercell, who originally had him as a villain in her stories. Now we kinda use Gunslinger as a stock villain in our aus.)
In this AU, dubbed Musical Strains, Poco is an undead with the rare power to heal people. Gunslinger had him holed up in a house on a hill in a small town, keeping him locked up in it to sell Poco's powers to desperate people. Sick of being trapped, Poco runs away one night, and joins the Goldarm Gang to get a safe trip to the other side of the desert.
Belle, intrigued by this mysterious little desperado on her doorstep, lets him join, and the rest is all gang shenanigans as Poco learns what a real found family is like.
Edgar is already a member of the Goldarm Gang, and Belle assigns Poco to his tent because the two of them are dubbed the youngest members of the group. At first, things are a bit icy between them, with Poco a bit scared of Edgar and Edgar a bit suspicious of Poco. But close proximity makes them interact with each other, regardless of how they feel, and gradually, they warm up to each other.
One things lead to another, and now they hold hands :)
Now, if only Argent would stop trying to come after the Gang to get his moneymaker back...

So I've been listening to my two favorite songs from Hadestown, Wait For Me (Reprise) and Road to Hell (Reprise), on loop for a few days. And on my 400th listen something occurred to me.
Orpheus was writing his song to "make spring come again". He wanted to "fix what's wrong, take what's broken and make it whole." His entire purpose was to write "a song so beautiful it brings the whole world back into tune." (From Come Home with Me).
And he did. Using his love for Eurydice, he was able to finish his song, his masterpiece. But the cost of his dedication to his music meant his love went hungry and went to Hadestown for food and shelter.
He hoped his love and his music would be strong enough to save her, a task we know was ultimately futile but we still sing about it because maybe one day it will be different but also... He did make spring come again. He helped Hades be more secure in his love for Persephone so she could stay on Earth long enough for their to BE a spring. He did take a broken, strained marriage and help them communicate, make them whole. He did bring the whole world back into tune when he sang their song and another pair of distanced lovers began to dance after so long of arguing.
Everyone else got their happy ending but him and Eurydice.
He did not fail, he just not could not imagine that his song didn't have room for his own happiness. It's a reminder that for every triumph there is tragedy, every repaired relationship there is a breakup and that while it may be spring somewhere, somewhere else it is winter. I don't know, that idea of mixed blessing tragedies in the story intrigued me. Because someone's worst day may be someone's best. And that is why we must always sing these songs, to remember on the bright days and to get us through the darkness and to know, someday, spring will come again.
