Bonus Round 1

Genre-Mixing

Hey, shippers! Welcome to your very first bonus round proper--we hope you have lots of fun with it! This time around we're going to be asking you to mix it up a little--each fanwork posted for this round will be a mish-mash of two different genres, blended together in a delightful incestuous slurry to create an UNSTOPPABLE CREATIVE CONCOCTION--er. Or. Something.

Yeah, we're genre-mixing. That's what we're doing this round.

Western + Detective (i love westerns so much)

A/N: I hope this is okay! ;u;

She smoothed out her skirt as she opened the door and stepped inside. The smell of booze was a bit strong, as was sweat, but she wasn't deterred. She was on a mission. She looked at the little note her boss had given her and then looked around the saloon. Eyes were on her from various spots in the room. Being a classy lady like herself, it was hard not to draw attention to yourself. She cleared her throat and walked over to the place where she was supposed to meet the sheriff of this town.

She pulled out a seat, gazing around the room. She wasn't entirely sure who she was looking for, but she was sure they would recognize her when they see her. In the mean time, she pulled out a folder from her case, opening it to brief herself on the case file. Her brow furrowed as she studied it, tapping her foot against the floor as she awaited the sherriff.

“What's a pretty lady like you doin' in a place like this?”

She blinked, closing her folder to look up at the man before her. His grin was a little sloppy and his eyes glazed. She could smell the booze roll off of him and that was enough to make her nose wrinkle in distaste. Instead of ignoring him, she politely nodded her head. “I'm waiting for someone.”

“Well, guess what? Y'r waitin' is over with. 'M sorry I made you wait so long, apple dumplin', but I'm here now. How 'bout I buy you a drink?”

“That is quite alright. I've already refreshed myself before I got here.”

“Aw, now don't be like that darlin', surely somethin' sweet like a shirley temple could quinch y'r thirst. At least... the liquid kind.”

She could feel bile threaten to rise in her throat at the mere insinuation. A 'cling' sound made her blink – the sight of a sword tip pressed against the man's throat made her eyes widen. The man holding the sword wore a respectable suit, his hat low on his head and his weirdly pointed shades hiding his eyes. The drunkard gurgled in shock while the swordsman snorted.

“I think the fair lady here, wants you to get lost.”

He sheathed his sword, giving the drunk a small push. Jane watched curiously as the man sat down in front of her. She shifted before raising a brow at him.

“That was rather reckless of you, even if you have a sword handy.”

The shaded man didn't budge, his face looking forward. His shoulders finally moved, but barely. “They know better than to mess with me.”

His accent, while wasn't thick as the drunk's, made her shiver. She licked her lips, watching him for a moment before deciding to speak up. “I hope you don't find me rude, but I am waiting for someone and I'd hate for them to think I'm not -”

“Sheriff Jake English, correct?”

She stiffened, before nodding slightly. The man tipped his glasses – orange eyes glinting at her. “Deputy Dirk Strider, at your service – Detective Jane Crocker.”

Her eyes lightened up immediately, a small smile forming on her lips. Those shades were quickly pushed back over his eyes and he tsked.

“Eyes like that could steal a man's heart.”

She blinked, shocked at the statement before she laughed. “Statements like that are best saved for the jailers, don't you think?”

She shuddered at the flirtatious sound in her voice – even Dirk himself noticed, his lips twitching. He got up, offering her a hand. “C'mon. The sheriff won't make it today, so we'll head over to the station and look through our paperwork.”

She took his hand, the leather of his fingerless gloves was warm, but the skin of his fingers even hotter. She felt a sizzle – a jolt of electricity, as his hand gripped hers firmly, helping her up. She was on her feet, standing close to him. His masculine scent invaded her senses all but a fleeting moment before they broke apart.

He released her hand – holding it a little longer than necessary. His Adam's apple bobbed and he nodded his head to the right.

“Let's get you out of here.”

She nodded mutely, trying to ignore the sizzle she felt as they made their way back towards the station. Her heart thumped loudly against her breast as she watched his back.

This was going to be a long job.

omg Dirk swoon. I loved it! :)

aaah! fast reply! thank you ;u;
