Yeehawgust Day 21: An Unconventional Steed
Patch and his blue king quail, Louie.
Patch used to have two king quail; Charles and Louie, that pulled his wagon as he pilfered his way west towards the coast.
In the story Gone By Morning, he loses Charles and the wagon to bandits and now uses Louie as his quailsteed. Louie's pretty big, the equivalent I riding a draft horse. But he's a big softy <3

Yeehawgust Day 21: An Unconventional Steed

Not every day you see a man build his own horse out of old wood and brooms. Alas, as he does not have a brain, he’s about as dumb as, well… a broom.

Yeehawgust Day 21 - An Unconventional Steed
Deputy doesn't understand why Marshal gets a sweet robot horse and he gets this... thing. (It's because they're both small and grumpy.)

Yeehawgust Day 21: An Unconventional Steed
The Mandalorian
WC: 500
Characters: Din and Grogu
Rating: G
Warnings: none
A/N: just another lil season one drabble for everyone’s favorite father son duo
Tumblr media
Mando was renowned in every corner of the galaxy for his unparalleled abilities. He could fly anything, ride anything, find anyone, beat any number of adversaries in a shootout. He could outdrink a man three times his size, bluff his way through a game of pazaak, or get the attention of any girl just to leave them longing at the bar when he left.
When the crest docked on the outskirts of town, every cantina livened up hoping for him to strut through their doors and spoil them with stories of far off lands.
Tonight, he was on Tattooine, sauntering into his favorite spot in Mos Espa. He was fresh off a string of bounties, a pouch spilling over with credits hanging at his side concealed by his cape. This time though, the whole bar fell silent as he made his entrance. His usually beat up crimson beskar had been swapped out for a brand new suit of gleaming silver. He twinkled brighter than any star in the vast sky.
He sat at his normal stool at the end of the bar, back against the wall.
“That looks new,” the bartender remarked, an orange Besalisk with a long ponytail. His four arms worked in tandem to pour new drinks and wipe down empty glasses.
“I’ll pay you double to not ask questions,” Mando said point blank.
“Touchy, touchy,” he feigned surrender, putting two hands in the air.
A strange chirping noise drew the Besalisk’s attention to the brown pouch at Mando’s side. A small green creature with wide brown eyes popped its head out.
“Wha—“
“Triple,” Mando growled, and the man clamped his mouth shut.
“Can you bring us a mug of broth?”
“Right away,” he nodded, calling back into the kitchen.
The patrons tentatively resumed their conversations and card games. The air filled with raucous laughter and the clinking of glasses contrasting the hushed whispers and darting glances that passed over the pair as they sat in the corner. Mando, with all of his warrior stature, clutching a small child in his lap with tender hands. The boy sipped the warm broth, cooing like a baby bird while Mando nodded his head as if in agreement, eyes like daggers scanning the room beneath his visor to pick up on any potential threats. He left a lone wolf, and came back a devoted father, doing anything to protect his young.
After a while, the child fell asleep, slumped against his chest plate. Din ordered a spotchka to sip on from the shadows.
“So,” the bartender began. Mando shot him a look that he could feel despite being unable to see it.
“I wasn’t gonna mention that, sheesh. Have any stories?” he leaned an elbow on the bar, taking a careful seat on a low stool as the crowd had mostly dwindled for the night.
Din tipped his helmet back and took a long draw of spotchka.
“Ever ride a blurrg?” he asked with a hint of a smile in his voice.

What do you look for in a steed? A speedy gallop? A gentle temperament? A sturdy constitution and endurance for long rides? A long, flowing mane worthy of a best-in-show title? Two-heads? Horns that twist and curl? Powerful leathery wings? At least six legs? A shifting, amorphous form studded with small black eyes which glimmer in the moonlight?
Maybe what you’ve got is An Unconventional Steed, but whether it’s got hooves or pseudopods, what really matters is just one thing: it’s your trusty steed.

Chapter 21 is up! Prompt: An Unconventional Steed
Summary: Sheriff's deputy Haurchefant Greystone forms a bond with the handsome stranger who just rolled into town. The local clergy is less receptive.
Chapter Preview: As they charge around the ridge, a one-horse stampede, the adrenaline finally hits him, along with the realization of what could’ve happened – what would’ve happened, if the mare hadn’t had some kind of preternatural sense of the danger they were in.
Haurchefant tightens his grip on her reins, letting out an exhilarated whoop before leaning forward to yell, “You are one lucky horse!”

Making It Work – Kate Riley/Rhonda LeBeck, Kate Riley/El Blanco…. Kinda
A/N: Another @thetremorssaga fic for @yeehawgust .
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Hey bud….” Kate can’t help petting El Blanco when the creature wraps a tendril around her. By now the two have formed enough of a friendship that she’s sure she’s not about to be eaten. The creature grumble-roars and she sighs. “Really?” She can’t help sighing when the worm nudges her forward where a clearly unafraid shrieker is standing. “You okay with this?” She asks the Shrieker, then winces when it shrieks. “Okay, okay fine…” She murmurs, settling onto the creatures’ back, holding tightly to a tuft of fur at it’s neck. “Lead on then…” The Shrieker runs, half-bouncing, and she winces at every jolt, the unconventional steed works all the same and she clambers over rocks to help Rhonda escape the other Graboid, helping her onto the Shrieker and sending her home, waiting for El Blanco to join her. “So now what?” El Blanco blinks slightly then changes forms, flickering into a humanoid shape with wings, scooping her up and flying home. Later, much later, she’ll wonder what on earth possessed her to take a risk but for now, for now, she’s content.

Mal had to admit that his steed wasn't the most conventional.
The horse's armor squeaked as he shifted and Mal shushed it, desperately trying to stay on the horse. What did Sanxing have against him?
A creak that didn't come from him or the horse made Mal freeze. Quickly, Mal shut the helmet visor with a clang and he tried to act like he belonged on the horse dressed in knight armor and that he wasn't planning on using it for a getaway.
"Mick?" a voice asked from near the back of the dressing room. "Tha' you? Stop horsin' around and get movin'! The show's 'bout to start!"
The Captain gulped and nodded, anxiously wondering how he'd get out of this.

Yeehaw!
When the Cactus Blooms
21. An Unconventional Steed
“How did you end up here?”
Scotty looked up at Jaylah. They were working together on another of the carts. Despite being a thief, John Harrison had had some good engineering ideas and Scotty would be damned if he didn’t use them. The first cart he had fixed was the best one they had now, and he intended to make the others just as good.
“Ye know lassie, we don’t normally ask each other such pointed questions. We all got our share of blows in this life and we don’t always want to be reminded of them.”
“Oh.”
“No, no lass!” Scotty said quickly at the expression on her face. “Ye can ask me, I don’t mind. My lows weren’t the lowest here. Just take care of some of the others.”
“Ok,” Jaylah said softly.
“I ended up here because of a unicorn,” Scotty answered, turning back to the work in front of them.
“Oh. Wait- what?” Jaylah looked at him in confusion.
“Aye.” Scotty kept his eyes down, trying to keep his face blank.
“A unicorn?”
Scotty nodded.
“Montgomery Scotty…”
“Oh fine lass, I’ll tell you,” Scotty laughed. “I had a wee brother—”
“Had?” Jaylah asked as her eyes widened.
“Have, aye, sorry,” Scotty said quickly. “I don’t get to see him…” He shrugged. “We were a pair, always up to something. Finally we got in a wee bit too deep with the wrong people. We were forced to either produce an actual unicorn, or, well, no more Scott brothers.”
“What did you do?” Jaylah demanded. “Those aren’t real.”
Scotty let out a chuckle.
“We did what any pair of trouble-making brothers would do.”
“You made a fake one?”
“Oh nae lass. We did one better. We found a horse named Aon-adharcach.”
Scotty grinned at Jaylah’s blank look.
“It's unicorn in Gaelic. We rode it together through the town. Thought we were a pair of right smart ones. Fortunately the people we had wronged found it funny as well. And here I am.” Scotty smiled again at Jaylah, before turning back to his work, but the smile didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Can ye hand me that?” he asked, pointing at a tool, before Jaylah could ask anything else.
Scotty had finished the work on the cart with Jaylah and then had gone off on his own. He needed time to settle himself and think. Or maybe try not to think. He hadn’t thought about his brother in a long time and the memories still hurt.
He wasn’t aware of how much time had passed until the smell of something delicious wafted by. Scotty looked up from where he was sitting on the far side of the tree at the creek to see McCoy standing next to him. In the doctor’s hand was a bowl. His bottle of good whisky was in the other.
“A unicorn huh?” McCoy smiled gently as he made himself comfortable on the ground next to Scotty. He handed the bowl over and produced a spoon from his shirt pocket. “You missed dinner and you should eat.”
“Thank you love,” Scotty said quietly as he accepted the meal.
“Eat and then if you want to talk we can. Or not,” McCoy said carefully. “I won’t push.”
They sat in silence as Scotty ate, shoulders pressed together. The creek murmured in front of them and a breeze ruffled Scotty’s hair. He set the bowl and spoon aside when he was done, then leaned against McCoy’s warm body even more.
“Ye told me about yer life before, it’s fair I tell mine,” he said quietly. McCoy didn’t say anything, just joined his hand with Scotty’s.
“I lost my wee brother because of it all.”
“I’m sor—”
“He’s alive,” Scotty said quickly. “At least as far as I know. I’ve nae heard from him in years.”
“You write to him?”
Scotty shook his head. “Cannae. The people we were in with… They’d know. After the unicorn trick I made a deal to keep Robbie safe. We were lucky they’d found that humorous.”
Scotty’s head fell to his chest, and he let his memories swirl around him again.
“They wouldn't hurt Robbie and would make sure he stayed safe, on two conditions. One was he had to leave Aberdeen. It was the only home we knew, but our parents were already gone, so…”
“What was the second?” McCoy asked gently.
Scotty closed his eyes tight against the tears forming.
“I had to leave Scotland and never see him again.” It came out as a faint whisper, and Scotty felt a tear slide down his face. McCoy’s arm went around his shoulders and pulled him closer.
“I went to London, but it wasn’t enough. The urge to go back was too strong,” he continued. “So I worked until I had enough to cross the ocean. But then I would spend each evening staring at the sea. I had to go further where I wouldn’t be tempted. Here I am.”
“Oh darlin’,” McCoy breathed. “Does he know? Why you left?”
Scotty nodded.
“He didn’t want me to. But they would have hurt him, killed him if I hadn’t.”
McCoy didn’t say anything else, he just held Scotty close, and Scotty was grateful for it.
