#local orphans forming a little pickpocket ring who end up getting taken in by said librarian

[bi-demon-ium]

just had the most vivid image of a wild west au except milligan is the only actual cowboy. probably number two or miss perumal might also be badass cowboys (gender neutral) but really what im saying is nervous town librarian trying to keep his tiny library afloat mr benedict and strong-n-silent-type gruff cowboy milligan

#nicholas/milligan #idk man #milligan bringing him books #nicholas telling him about them #local orphans forming a little pickpocket ring who end up getting taken in by said librarian #or maybe milligans the SHERIFF #or maybe curtains the corrupt sheriff? or an outlaw who never shows his face? #corrupt sheriff is better but also leaves the reveal to happen early or to not happen at all (ie its not a surprise) #hmmm idk man im just rotating #i like corrupt sheriff curtain vs outlaw with a heart of gold milligan #hes scared getting close to mr benedict will get him hurt #WAIT #mr benedict is secretly the head of the outlaw ring but no one would guess it considering his . everything #very good cover
