I loved Lawless, but I hate that Howard didn't really get much of a story. So, in true *me* fashion, I wrote him one. All chapters published; this is a fic that's been completed for awhile, but I haven't done anything with it.

Ida has loved Forrest Bondurant since the first time she laid eyes on him when he sick with the Influenza. 13 years later she's finally the woman he deserves and shes trying to make her way back into his life, but the moonshine business is about to get more difficult and Ida can't help but retreat from the life she doesn't want, but she keeps coming back for the man she needs.

Three years he lived without her and now she was back, but everyone had enemies and times were tough, there was no way to go back to where they were, or was there? ForrestxOC

Cricket Pate was dead, and his Aunt Winny couldn't afford a casket. Jack's best friend in the whole goddamn world, and Cricket's shit-crazy aunt couldn't even give him a proper burial. Since Charlie Rakes destroyed the Bondurant's still, Jack didn't rightly have the money either, so he reckons he's gonna have to build Cricket a coffin himself. Grieving!Jack Comforting!Forrest

The morning Forrest is discharged from the hospital for the second time and proposes to Maggie.

"Hello Forrest." She smiled and Forrest swore he was back at that corn field in the summer of '08, the little girl saying his name in her underdeveloped speech. A familiar face returns to Franklin County, inadvertently wreaking more havoc for the Bondurant boys.

I know some people hate it when people put these posts up but you really need to know this is my last resort because I don't know how else I will find this story. If you read inside it has more details about the story I am trying to find so Please Please read it and if you know it leave a comment. Thank You

Forrest Bondurant wasn't always so infamously feared. There was a time when Forrest was just another country boy working his daddy's farm and courting a sweet girl named Ellie May. Then the Spanish Lady Flu swept through, killing half of Forrest's family and bringing the Prohibition Era with it. That's when things began to change and Forrest Bondurant became a man worth a legend.

Returning home after being away for fifteen years, Rosalie Rakes nee Thomas is reacquainted with a certain Bondurant. Yet as Forrest and Rose try to find common ground between themselves again, neither could imagine the lengths that her husband will go to keep his wife by his side... Forrest/OC, formerly titled, "Fire in the Blood".on hiatus/discontinued for now

She had always been headstrong and stubborn, that Arlene Fager. Being the youngest child with three older brothers, she always felt the need to prove herself. Her mamma did her best to raise a proper little girl, but since the moment she could walk, Arlene followed her brother's around like a lost pup. Howard/OC. My interpretation of who Howard's wife could have possibly been.

A companion piece to A Man Worth a Legend in which Howard and Ellie May squabble; Everett gets faslely accused of smoking; and Forrest enjoys his first cigar. (This is just a little one-shot I couldn't fit into the original story. Takes place between Chapters 22 and 25.) Enjoy! Forrest/OC COMPLETE!

She had left with her family at the age of 19 to go to New york . most of her family went back home . Not her she stayed . When asked to do a story on the Bondurant Boys , she says no . In fear of losing her job she goes only to find the man she once loved so dearly was married . A tragedy breaks the middle man and Rebecca is summoned home once more to fix him.

Everything changed after that night; for the good and the bad. Lilibelle Rossetti was just a girl trying to keep out of trouble in Franklin County. But catching the eye of Forrest Bondurant didn't help much. Especially with gangsters after her family. But you best know by now that a Bondurant don't roll over for nobody. Forrest/OC.

Kait MacMahon had moved to the city to find any surviving of her family. However, with her Cherokee looks and country raising, she quickly finds she does not belong in this new world. So after a few years of saving money, she is able to move back South, to Franklin County. She is returning for peace, and to heal old wounds. But what she finds, is a story of a lifetime.

In his eyes she had always been the little girl that ran around with his kid w Val O'Rourke is back and she's determined to show Forrest Bondurant that she's no longer that little girl.But it'll take a lot of convincing cuz those Bondurant boys are a stubborn bunch. Forrest/OC ON HIATUS

Forrest realizes the scar on Maggie's ribs has a much more sinister origin than she told him. Takes place during the scene at the end of the movie, with a flashback to the night she came to his room.

Saw Lawless and I can't get these two out of my head. So this is just some Forrest and Maggie fluff.

Bertha falls in love with Jack, in four vignettes.

he is not a whole Forrest, he is a fraction of a Forrest and it baffles him/ three times Maggie leaves Forrest behind, and the world keeps on going even though it has no right to.

Six years after leaving Franklin County, Elena returns to her family and friends but she is not the naive girl who once left years ago. She yearns to pick up the pieces and continue her close friendship with Forest Bondurant but she learns that sometimes coming back is the hardest part. Forrest/OC

but she wants to listen too/ Maggie speaks, Forrest doesn't, and she is so, so tired.

Lucy Bondurant loved her husband, Howard, dearly; but ever since the war neither he or his money made it ed the bar. She wouldn't have survived if not for Forrest. Lucy knew she had to be loyal to her husband, but she found herself wishing she would wake up and be a Bondurant under a different circumstance: for family bonds run deep at The County Line.

"You were supposed to be there" Forrest croaked, his voice broken and rough like sandpaper. His eyes never left Howard's.
