"Correcting it implies this was the wrong life."
I started working on this a year ago and never had the time to finish it. It may not be perfect, but every bit of love from my heart has gone into it!

"I told him he'd find trouble if he came here," Buford said at the cliff's edge, counting the glimmers of dim lamplight dotting the hazardous landscape. "Now he's gone and found trouble for all of us."

"You're like me in a lot of ways, boy, but not like that," Buford said. He picked up the whiskey again. "I never would have done this for your mother. For anyone." "You're doing it for Clint Eastwood."

"Justice is swift for men like us. We're not criminals, we're outlaws! We die in the sun. We die with a gun in our hand." "Well, I'm sure if you ask real nice, they'll let you hold one while you're being hanged."

"I loved him so much, Doc. I still do." "So do I." Emmett hung his head; the words hit harder than expected when said aloud. The years had stacked between them all like bricks, and the wall it created would have to be dismantled one by one to rebuild. "Your father used to be my closest friend," Emmett said to the dirt between his boots. "I still consider him so, but I'm afraid he's forgotten who he is. What matters. Who matters."

Marty and Tannen reflexively reached for their guns and raised them, but they reconsidered their position upon counting the number of muzzles pointed at them – and the encircled silver stars glimmering on the marshals' chests.
Okay, so here me out.
This map of 1885 Hill Valley is from the Doctor Collector Back to the Future Time Travel Memories Tin [X]. It's probably my favorite BttF map ever because of how detailed it is.
In the upper right corner, we find the first of two legends that name the numbered establishments on the map. And number five, by far, made my imagination spiral: fortune teller.
The Fortune Teller is located just behind the bathhouse (number 4 on the map) in the Chinese camp (3), apparently just out of view when Marty enters Hill Valley at the beginning of Part 3.
Long story short: No Pines Marty totally sets up shop as a fortune teller just to screw with people/ make Doc mad because he's actually telling people about the future/ refuses to live in the blacksmith shop with him.
That's it. That's the whole thing.
My brain, ladies and gentlemen.
Summary: Three years after the events in New York, Marty alienates himself on the outskirts of an estranged Hill Valley. As Doc leaves on the Time Train, Buford's business in the big city catches up to them with a devastating secret, and it's only a matter of time before nobody knows who "Clint Eastwood" really is anymore.

"Remember when I said I was the only one allowed to shoot you?" Marty blinked Buford into focus. He was reloading his gun. "Well, today's the day, Eastwood." Tannen snapped the cylinder back in line with the barrel and drew the hammer, hellish with the distant blaze intensifying his silhouette. "I'm shootin' you."
With our third installment complete, I'm off to wrap up my other WIPs so I can give you the final cardinal direction (Once Upon a Time in the North) in November during the challenge that started this all, Cowboyvember! Til then, enjoy! Thank you!

“Draw.”
Marty hesitated.
Never considered the future, poor Martin, God rest his soul.
But he was; Doc’s name reappeared on the tombstone photograph in the saloon. If he didn’t do something, they’d kill him.
Marty’s vision reddened seeing Doc held against his will. The corner of Buford’s mouth twitched with an unpleasant smile, blinding Marty’s better judgment.
He fired.
The recoil kicked back his wrist more than expected, but Marty maintained his hold.
Onlookers gasped so loudly that Tannen’s confidence in Eastwood’s unreliable aim made him search for blood or an entry wound.
Doc slumped in Buck and Ceegar’s arms.

"When we have Ellie, take her straight back to the farm," Marty said. "If something happens to me or I'm not back by morning, would you give her a home?" Seamus's brow deepened, but he offered a hushed, hurried reply as Virgil came within earshot. "She'd be one of my own."

"Your daddy is learnin' a lesson right now," Virgil said, carefully putting his legs under the table. "There are consequences for every sin, and one way or another, he will remember that every day for the rest of his life, from here on out. But if'n he shows me he's willin' to repent, I shall be merciful."

All that time he spent trying to prove to himself that he could be the more distant one, more aloof than her; he lived a life aside from Ann, yet he was outraged she'd done the same? No, not outraged, he realized. Afraid.

"The only road Clint Eastwood walks is the road of ruin, child." "I don't know, Momma," Sarah said dreamily. "Haven't you heard him play his guitar?" "I haven't heard him singing in church."

"Doc, if I show up eight years older with a three-year-old daughter, do you really think my family would just accept that? That Jennifer would even be able to look at me?"
