Open Range Hearts a Wynonna Earp fanfic by thewaywedo33, focused on the pairing of Waverly Earp/Nicole Haught.
Summary
Cattle Ranch AU (aka Haught on a Horse). Nicole Haught is happy to start a new job at Earp Ranch, but she soon learns it is not just any ranch. Developing feelings for one of her bosses is a terrible idea, but ignoring her heart proves more difficult than she thinks. Ride along for a western romance full of love, sabotage, and a whole lot of friendship goals.
Reactions and Reviews
I think this is my favorite Wayhaught fanfic, it was one of the first I’ve read of this ship. Nicole Haught is a cowgirl working for the Earp sisters, need I say more?[2]
First of all, this is magnificent. Your story, admittedly, got me into Wayhaught. I’d been seeing it on my dash and I went over to ao3 and was, like, what even is there to read? The answer was… not much. But this fic was there and I opened it hesitantly and damn. I don’t like horses. If I never meet a horse by its first name, I’ll be glad. But the world you created, keeping all of the characters in their lanes and dropping them into this what-Purgatory-could-be environment (because I can totally see it as a running farm) is just amazing. You have such a way with words that I find myself going back to the scene in the barn where they give in and I live that moment - Nicole’s pleading for Waverly to stop doing this thing that neither of them can control, Waverly’s hot and cold confusion. Also, the hat falling to the ground? I don’t know why I love that single detail so much, but I do. (I think it’s because - and I’m so guilty of this myself, until I reread a few times - people forget things like that? It’s like a math problem. If a woman is wearing a cowboy hat, and a second women launches herself at the first with a velocity of attraction, is she wearing a hat by the time their lips touch?)[3]
Open Range Hearts is my all time favorite fic like damn @thewaywedo33 knows how to make me FEEL things[4]
bruh im sure you’ve been recommended this but open range hearts changed my fuckening life[6]
Yes, Cuffs (thewaywedo33) has written an absolutely fantastic piece of fanfic... It is called Open Range Hearts but I affectionately call it Haught on a Horse! Go to the site and check it out! You will love it![7]
Wayhaught cattle ranch au. This ones honestly a classic[8]
I started reading Wayhaught fanfics with Open Range Hearts and I don’t think there has been a day I haven’t read at LEAST a chapter of a fic since. That was back in June 2018. The weird part - I’m not “a reader”[9]
What kind of WayHaught Trash™️ would I be if I didn’t cut my teeth on Open Range Hearts?[10]
the greatest #WayHaught AU of all time[11]
