Warning: Scenes of a Sexual Nature, Violence, Abuse and Profanity. Do Not Read if you're easily offended.
Genre: Drama, Western
Notes: This story will have a Boy!Brittany and Boy!Quinn.
- This is theoretically a crossover, but not really, it's why it's not classed as one. Most of the Western elements are taken from the game 'Red Dead Redemption' as well as the book 'By the Great Hornspoon', but otherwise the game and book characters themselves don't really feature here.
- I don't know much about the Gold Rush in the U.S., only that it happened, and that it was mainly based in the Californian Area. So I do apologise for the inaccuracies that are in this story, but I do hope you will enjoy the story either way.
Ships: Boy!Quinn/Rachel, Santana/Boy!Brittany
Chapter 1:
Brett Pierce shielded his eyes from the sun as he got off the boat and walked onto land for the first time in three months.
'Wish the trains were actually running, trip would have been less hazardous than the damn ocean, minus potential bandits,' he thought to himself as he picked up his luggage and adjusted his bowler hat.
He started walking towards a carriage that had the words "McKinley Township" written on the side of it.
'Good place to start what Pa wants anyway, plus I can try and make some gold,' he thought to himself as he entered into the Carriage and paid the driver.
"How long until we get to McKinley?" he asked.
"Say it's about an hour, two at tops, barring that we get stopped by any bandits," the driver said as Brett nodded his head.
The trip itself was boring, there were no bandits stopping the trail and Brett found himself dozing off as he waited to arrive.
A banging on the carriage door woke him up.
"We're here sonny get up, I've got work to do," the driver said as Brett picked up his bag and got out.
The town itself wasn't large, he could see that.
A few shops here and there, no law men though it seemed. He started to make his way into town to look for a saloon to get a drink and perhaps some information, feeling slightly out of dress as he was wearing a suit from the Bureau and everyone else was dressed somewhat down from him.
He received a few stares but ignored them as he kept walking.
Not paying attention he crashed into a man's back.
"Watch where you're going fresh blood," the man grumbled.
"I apologise, I'm just a bit lost, I was wondering if there was an inn here or a hotel?" Brett started.
"You giving me the eye boy?"
"No sir, I was just,"
"You made me drop my hat, that's offensive boy,"
"I'm sorry sir,"
The man started advancing at him and Brett realised that the man was drunk.
"Hey Meat, easy there buddy, don't scare the newbie," a man with hazel eyes said as he walked up to the pair.
"Paws we don't need more of them greenhorns coming here and wrecking our digs, he won't even have a stake yet," Wolf Meat grumbled.
"You're drunk, go back to your room at the inn and rest, I'll take care of this, oh, and don't forget your hat,"
Wolf Meat continued grumbling as he walked away.
"Hey partner, name's Quinton Fabray, Quinn to most of my friends, but out here they call me Paws," he said tipping his cowboy hat as well as holding his hand out for Brett to shake it.
"Yeah thanks for that, name's Brett Pierce, I just got here from Ohio, well, New York, but you know, travelled by Boat and all, was told it was the fastest way to get here since the trains aren't going fully yet," Brett said shaking Quinton's hand.
"Yeah, s'pose, they are bringing in the rails though, building it anyway, and fixing some of the them in other areas,"
"Yeah,"
"So, what brings you out here, Pierce?"
"My Pa works for the Government, wants me to be in the agency with him, I don't really want to, but I figured if he wants me to do some job out here, it'll be the furthest away from him, job may even take me down to Mexico,"
"I see, now that's interesting, you gonna stake some land while you're here?"
"It looks interesting but I wouldn't know how,"
"Ain't no better way for a man to make his own money and be his own man than to be a gold miner, but first, we gotta get you some new duds, bureau clothes ain't gonna last long out here, and you need a proper hat, them bowlers are gonna get you shot at,"
"I see,"
"You stake yourself here with me and my boys, and we'll give you the lay of the land, heck, you'll be earning your own name eventually,"
"Why's that important?"
"Just the way life runs here," Quinton said as he led Brett to his staked area .
It was rather large compared to other men and Brett naturally concluded that Quinton must have come from wealth, other men couldn't afford the type of staked land that he had.
There were two other men working in the area, one was in the lower levels that required a ladder to get to, he was incredibly tall Brett noticed, taller than he was and that was a feat in itself; the other was about Quinton's height, maybe that bit taller and had a shaved head minus the middle part reminding Brett of the Mohawks/Mohicans.
"Hey, Fists, get over here," Quinton yelled as a Mohawk man got out of his area of staked land, "Bring Jaw with you, we got us a greenhorn,"
Two men approached Brett, their faces were covered with dirt and their beards were long.
"What's up Paws? Who's the suit?" one asked.
"Fists, Jaw, this is Brett Pierce, his Daddy's a government man, but I figured he wants to make a man of himself without his Daddy's help, you know, make some stakes, all that, Brett, Fists here's real name, Noah Puckerman, he's Jewish, but don't tell nobody, they don't like Jewish Folk much out here so most people think he's a savage and we'd rather keep it that way, less trouble, he's a great shot and he's good at getting the ladies, if you're looking for one,"
"Uh, well, I," Brett started.
"I can find you a good lady, in fact, I know of a good one that might tickle your fancy, she sucks well too," Puck said as he extended his hand to Brett, "As Paws said, I'm Noah Puckerman, but they call me Lightning Fists here, or just Fists,"
"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Brett Pierce is my name,"
"So, are you looking for some girl action?"
"No,"
"Why?"
"I just don't really fancy it,"
"You're just like Paws, won't let no girl near his prick now that he has his own woman,"
"Hey, she's all the woman I need, you're just jealous that she went after me and not you," Quinton said as he held his hands up.
"Hey, I'm Iron Jaw, or just Jaw, Finn Hudson otherwise, I'm good with building carriages and wagons, plus I'm a Blacksmith's son, so, I know the trade, my brother, Kurt Hummel, owns the local Saloon and Brothel in town, but, don't tell nobody that he's about as straight as Sidewinder Gulch,"
Brett just looked at him as he shook the guy's hand.
"Sidewinder Gulch ain't straight," Quinton clarified as understanding passed Brett's face.
"You ain't got a problem with that, do you?" Finn asked.
"No, sister's the same way," Brett clarified.
"Good, well, I'm going back to work, Kurt needs me to help in the Saloon later, and a fight is going to happen tonight, you don't want to miss it," Finn said as he waved bye and went back to mining his portion of the staked land.
"Yeah, I should work and then get ready, it's my fight tonight, we'll show you how McKinley men are," Puck smirked as he went back to work.
"So greenhorn, you interested?" Quinton asked.
"Yeah," Brett said with a smile.
"Good, because I wasn't really giving you a choice, you wanna get new duds, you gotta work for it,"
"I figured that,"
"Well, all I can say now is, Welcome to McKinley," Quinton said as he patted Brett on the back.
AN: I seem to have stories out the wa-zoo, but oh well.
I'll try and finish the four unfinished ones I have before I post any other stories and everything gets out of hand.
(I have a Harry Potter one that I plan on posting at some stage).
Hope you enjoyed this first chapter.
Just another side note, the Brittana relationship will happen quite a bit later, and you won't get Faberry for another chapter or so.
