Arthur Morgan x Reader

Hell of a Life pt. 2

Description: You hear whispers of a notorious gang being caught by the police after a failed train heist, only to find out said gang was the one you once belonged to. You decide risking your fresh start and new life is worth the risk of your former brothers in arms being hanged, but getting back into the hang of outlawing proves to be a little easier than you'd like. ⚠️Warnings: violence (guns, shooting) click to read part 1 `(*>﹏<*)′

The lecture hall was filled with the murmur of students shuffling papers and chatting before class started, but you barely heard any of it. Your hands, usually so steady as you paced behind your desk, felt uncharacteristically clammy. The words on the chalkboard blurred, your thoughts distant.

“…Professor?”

You snapped back to reality, blinking at one of your students, who was casually leaning against your desk.

“Sorry, what was that, Charlotte?”

“The rumors, ma’am. Have you heard? About that gang found nearby?” she asked as she powdered her face absentmindedly.

“Gang?” You feigned confusion as best you could, relieved to know all those ‘acting’ lessons from Hosea were still coming in handy.

Your assistant, Mrs. Whitmore, interjected as she handed you a folded newspaper. “The Van der Linde Gang,” she mumbled quietly.

You felt the blood drain from your face as you unfolded the paper, your eyes scanning over the bold headline:

NOTORIOUS VAN DER LINDE GANG CAPTURED… SENT TO FEDERAL PRISON.

She looked around before leaning in to whisper near your ear, “Apparently, they were caught just outside town.”

Your heart pounded painfully.

With everything in you, you fought to keep your hands from trembling as you folded the paper neatly, placing it on your desk as if it meant nothing.

“How scary,” you murmured, clearing your throat.

“My momma caught a glimpse of them as they were being taken to the prison,” Charlotte said.

“Hush! You’re lying!” her friend gasped.

“Mmm, sure did. And you know,” she lowered her voice, “Momma said they were mighty fine!”

As the girls broke into a fit of giggles, your stomach twisted, but you forced your expression to remain neutral. You had tried your very best to hide your identity, so when you heard whispers among townsfolk of a gang being found nearby this morning, you couldn’t help but be stricken with the fear that it was your former brothers-in-arms.

“Why don't we start the lesson for today.”

But the words fell flat. Your mind raced, barely able to hold your composure as the hours dragged on.

That night, your small apartment felt suffocating. You paced the wooden floorboards, hands gripping at your hair. The right thing to do was to let it be. You had left that life behind. You were a teacher now, respectable, safe.

But they could be hurt. Or worse.

With a frustrated growl, you dropped to your knees, reaching under your bed. Your fingers brushed against the rusted, familiar lockbox. You hesitated only a moment before dragging it out and flipping the lid open.

Your past stared back at you: your shirt and vest, muddy boots, well-worn gun belt, knives, revolvers.

“Goddamn it,” you muttered, gripping the brim of the hat you always wore tightly.

But it was necessary. You knew it in your gut.

Excluding the few drunk men stumbling out of the saloon, by midnight, the townsfolk had cleared out. You snuck through the back alley of your apartment building, your grip on your suitcase solid as iron as you made your way to the post office.

“Be with you in a minute, ma’am,” the clerk called out from the opposite side of the booth.

“Sure,” you squeaked, mentally scolding yourself before taking a deep breath as he approached the booth. You managed to buy the train ticket without sounding too suspicious.

“Bit late for a train ride, ain’t it?” the clerk chuckled softly as he handed you the ticket.

Maybe he was just indulging in a little small talk, but your heart nearly dropped to your ass nonetheless.

“Oh! Yes, a few of my coworkers said tickets tend to be cheaper around this time,” you chuckled nervously.

“Fair enough. Safe travels,” he smiled.

“You too.”

The clerk stopped in his tracks, tilting his head in confusion.

Shit.

“I—uh—I mean, thank you, sir. Bye now,” you mumbled quickly as you headed toward the door.

“You too?... idiot,” you scolded yourself as you took a seat on a bench. You were definitely rusty.

It was around 1 AM by the time you reached a stable on the outskirts of town. Not wanting anyone to recognize your horse from one of your many run-ins, you figured keeping him there had been the safest option. Plus, the city had plenty of buses and trolleys.

You wondered how that old boy was. He was just a chubby little pony when Dutch bought him for you many years ago, his fur as smooth as could be, growing dramatically thicker and lighter in color near the ends of his legs. You chuckled as you remembered thinking it was like he had his own little chaps.

After days of being unable to name him, Hosea figured he looked a bit like the stuffed bear he bought you, so what better than to name him Teddy?

As you approached the stable, you saw no men around. You picked the lock to the barn doors a bit clumsily. It had been a while since you had to break into… anything, really. You pushed the doors open as quietly as you could. The last thing you wanted was to be accused of horse theft before you could get to the poor bastards at the prison.

You could barely see in the dark, but you could make out the faint patterns of the horses kept in the stalls. Soon enough, your eyes caught a blur of caramel brown in the last stall.

“Teddy!” you whispered, unable to stop the grin forming on your face. He was older, but still as cute as ever. He nickered, brushing his face into your hands, almost crashing into the guardrail of the stall.

“Woah now, careful, boy,” you whispered before gently opening the stall locks. “Gonna get you outta here.”

As you made your way to the jail, the cold night air stung your face, but your mind was sharper than it had been in years. Every memory came rushing back, the adrenaline-packed evenings spent riding back to camp after a successful train heist, the deathly tense moments as you escaped the law. Your eye caught a glimpse of the moon reflecting off a nearby lake, and suddenly, memories of riding through the forest at night with Arthur flooded your mind.

A misty glaze covered your eyes. You missed his grumpy mumbling, complaining about ‘that damn Marston’ or Pearson’s god-awful stew, always lending an ear to whoever, or whatever, was getting under his skin at the time. You remembered those little smiles reserved just for you, the ones that made the crow’s feet at his eyes just a little more pronounced. Even the endless teasing that followed every time your ever-spooked horse bucked you off at the sight of a forest snake.

His absence pained you greatly, but it was all the more reason to spur your horse forward.

When you finally reached the prison, you kept low, scouting the area. The bleak cement walls loomed high, guards clad in blue uniforms patrolling above, but they weren’t expecting you.

Bringing your bandana over the bottom half of your face, you slipped through the bushes until your eye caught a scrawny guard patrolling just a few feet ahead. He looked less experienced than the rest, his grip on his rifle a little clumsy, his stance tense. Slowly, you drew your revolver and crept up behind him.

Before he could react, your arm wrapped around his neck, pulling him into a chokehold as your other hand pressed the gun to his head.

“Not a sound,” you whispered harshly, dipping your gloved hand into his pockets, searching for a key, a lockpick—anything that could get you inside.

Your fingers hit the bottom of the fabric. Empty.

You exhaled in frustration. Guess I’m just going to have to improvise.

Your gaze flicked to the trembling guard. “Follow my lead, will you, buddy?” you whispered, tapping him on the shoulder almost comfortingly, despite your death grip on him.

The guard whimpered and wriggled in your grasp. “What?! What do you mean, I—”

Ignoring his protests, you dragged him toward the front entrance.

The guards above turned at the commotion, their rifles raising.

“I wouldn’t do that,” you warned, voice firm. “Not unless you want to see how fast I can pull this trigger.”

They hesitated before one spoke up. “Put the gun down!”

“Bring me the Van der Lindes,” you demanded, “Now.” You finished with a sharp click of the hammer that made the man in your arms wince.

One of the men squinted down at you. “And who the hell are you?”

You shrugged, steadying your grip on the struggling guard. “Just an old friend.”

“Listen, ma’am, we don’t want to have to shoot a la-”

“I’m not here to chat!” you cut in.

The guards exchanged glances but remained rooted in place. Your patience thinned.

“You want to test me?” you asked, tilting your head. “Fine. Let’s count, shall we?”

“One.”

No movement.

“Two.”

The guards fidgeted in place, some looking around, wondering if backup would arrive.

“Say, buddy, will you count for me while I negotiate with your friends here?” you asked the man in your grip.

He sputtered.

“Go on.”

The man flinched, swallowing hard. “Okay, okay! Wh-what number are we on?”

You exhaled sharply through your nose. “Very funny.” You yanked him slightly, making him wheeze. “We must be at fifteen by now.”

Your voice lifted just enough for the others to hear.

The guard in your hold whined. “For the love of God, just do what she says, you bastards!” he pleaded.

Finally, you saw movement at the entrance of the prison.

Your breath hitched.

This was it.

Inside the jail, the dim oil lamps flickered, casting long shadows across the cold stone walls. The gang paced in their individual but connected cells, their movements restless, anxious.

Arthur stood near the bars, fingers curled around the iron. The others murmured among themselves until a sharp voice cut through the tension.

“Any plans, Dutch?” John asked, a deep scowl on his face.

“I don’t appreciate your sarcasm, son” Dutch groaned, pacing inside his cell.

Javier scoffed from his own. “You’re the one who took damn near forever to light the dynamite!”

“So now this is my fault?!” "Now boys-" Hosea interjected.

Arthur rolled his eyes as far back as he could as he slumped against the wall, before he stilled.

Beneath all the god-awful bickering, he could’ve sworn he heard something. A voice. A familiar one.

His stomach twisted.

The others, realizing who it was, rushed toward the barred windows, pressing against the cold metal to catch a glimpse of you. Even in this godforsaken place, they couldn’t help but find amusement in the way you had the poor guard trembling.

“Well, would you look at that,” Javier huffed.

Hosea let out a quiet chuckle. “Hasn’t changed one bit.”

Dutch clapped his hands together, grinning. “Alright, boys, this is it! This is it! We are getting out of here, so help me God.”

Arthur swallowed hard, unable to tear his gaze away.

It had been years, but there you were.

Even in the heat of the moment, an odd nervousness settled in his chest.

And then, clink.

The sound of keys turning. The doors creaking open.

The few officers who tried to grab the outlaws were met with hard punches, sending them sprawling. The gang wasted no time rushing out, past the dumbfounded crooks still locked in their own cells.

Arthur stepped out last, his eyes finally locking onto yours.

The sight made his stomach flutter in an odd way.

You felt your heart jump a little before you quickly tore your gaze from his and took a breath, quickly assessing the group.

“Boys,” you greeted with a small nod.

Dutch stepped forward, voice booming. “Now, fellers, thank you for hosting us, but me and my friends here? We're just gonna...walk away."

You waddled back slowly, still keeping the guard in your grasp. “No funny business!”

But of course, nothing ever went smoothly.

A sharp whistle cut through the air.

Suddenly, chaos erupted.

“Shit,” Arthur cursed, grabbing his gun as bullets started flying.

The gang dove for cover behind crates, firing back. Dutch, laughing in the face of danger, let off rounds with a gleam in his eye. Hosea, ever the strategist, barked out directions over the gunfire.

“Oh my GOD—” The freed guard flailed, running in circles like a headless chicken.

“For Christ’s sake, get back here, you idiot!” you groaned, grabbing him by the collar and shoving him under a bush.

You darted from cover to cover until you reached Arthur and John.

“So what happened to your face Marston?!” you hollered, before firing a shot at a lawman aiming at John from above.

John did a double take before huffing out a laugh. “Long story,” his scratchy voice called back.

“Hell of an entrance!” Arthur yelled over the gunfire, voice laced with that familiar sarcasm.

“Yeah, well, you’re welcome,” you shot back, unable to suppress a smile as you reloaded and ran to cover Hosea.

Somehow, you all made it out, your horse waiting at the edge of the prison territory as the rest stole a few from the lawmen’s post.

Trees blurred past, and the shouts of lawmen faded as you put more distance between yourselves and the chaos.

When Dutch finally hollered for everyone to stop, you all pulled up, catching your breath. The moonlight filtered through the trees, illuminating sweat-slicked faces and heaving chests.

Dutch dismounted first, striding over. You tensed, half expecting him to lecture you for abandoning the gang, a part of you even braced for something worse.

But then, there it was; that wide, knowing grin of his. He clapped a firm hand on your shoulder, eyes gleaming.

“Now that…” he began, raising a ringed finger, “was some damn fine work.”

You stared at him for a long moment, then exhaled sharply, shaking your head. “Oh, no. No, no, no. That charm ain't gonna work on me, Dutch.”

His grin faltered slightly as you took a step back, hands on your hips.

“What the hell were you doing getting into trouble near the one town I live in?” you scolded, voice sharp, though not without a hint of exasperated familiarity. “You can’t even organize a proper poker game, let alone a federal train heist? You’re slipping.”

Dutch’s mouth opened, then closed. He sputtered for a second, looking around at the others as if searching for backup.

“Well, I missed you too, my dear,” he finally drawled, sarcasm thick.

Hosea chuckled under his breath, and Arthur huffed a quiet laugh, looking down.

Dutch recovered quickly, straightening his coat with an exaggerated air. “Seems to me I should be the one upset, you up and left us, after all.”

You chuckled softly, “You should be grateful I came back to save your sorry ass.”

Hosea, ever the softer one, pulled you into a quick hug, his voice filled with warmth and amusement, “That you did.” The argument, though laced with old grievances, felt surprisingly lighthearted. Almost like old times…almost.

You exhale deeply before turning to the rest of them. "So, what now? You all planning to march back into town and get caught again?"

"Now, now," Dutch interjected, shaking his head, "we have a plan, sweetheart."

You gave him a look, "Let me guess, it involves making lots of noise, and somehow having John shot?"

John scoffed. "That happened one time!"

"Twice," Arthur muttered.

John shot him a glare, but you turned to Hosea, "Please tell me you’ve still got a lick of sense in you."

Hosea smiled knowingly. "You know me, dear. Always the reasonable one."

You exhaled through your nose. Reasonable or not, you knew that staying with them would only pull you right back into the life you'd worked so hard to leave behind. But the way they looked at you, the relief, made your heart warm with nostalgia more than you'd like to admit.

You sighed, rubbing a hand down your face. "Damn it all."

Dutch grinned, sensing victory. "Ah, there she is."

"Don't get comfortable," you warned, jabbing a finger at him. "I'm not back. I'm just...making sure you idiots don't get yourselves killed before you have a real plan."

"Of course," Dutch said, voice dripping with faux sincerity.

Arthur let out another huff of laughter, shaking his head. "Yeah, we'll see about that."

His laugh, you missed that sound.

God help you.

You had a feeling you were in deep.

tysm to everyone reading my fics and reblogging etc :)) feel free to send in requests! And lmk if you want to be tagged part 3 coming soon (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ will def have more chemistry with Arthur!

(Stéphane Bernard) Observe with what elegance most of the guests are wearing the republican cocarde! Among all the French symbols, the Emperor has chosen to honor Liberty, so dear to our Nation. What a magnificent way to celebrate our shared heritage. (Other journalist) Indeed, the empire has preserved many remnants, if I may say, of the French Revolution. (Stéphane Bernard) Emperor Napoleon III once said that the empire is "the reign of liberty, preserving the moral influence of the Revolution, and diminishing the fears it inspired." I believe that sums up Simpartism quite well.

(Stéphane Bernard) Look, the Emperor and Empress of Pierreland, also wearing la cocarde. (Other journalist) Always so radiant. It is said that today the roles have reversed, with Emperor David, once protected by Napoleon IV, now striving to watch over Napoleon V. (Stéphane Bernard) Absolutely, Their Imperial Majesties share a very strong relationship. In fact, when he was still the imperial prince, Napoleon V spent many hours coordinating the maritime alliance between our two countries.

(Stéphane Bernard) Queen Diana of Simdonia and her consort, who welcomed Emperor Napoleon V on his first ever state visit. They are followed by King Arthur of the United Kingdom of Prydain and Voltadermar.

(Stéphane Bernard) Observez avec quelle élégance la plupart des invités arborent la cocarde républicaine ! Parmi tous les symboles français, l'Empereur a souhaité mettre à l'honneur la Liberté, si chère à notre Nation. Quelle magnifique manière d'honorer notre héritage commun ! (Autre journaliste) Effectivement, l'empire a conservé de nombreux vestiges si j'ose dire de la Révolution française. (Stéphane Bernard) L'empereur Napoléon III disait que l'empire est "le règne de la liberté, sauvant l'influence morale de la Révolution, et en diminuant les craintes qu'elle inspirait". Je crois que ça résume bien le Simpartisme.

On raconte aujourd'hui que les rôles s'inversent, que l'empereur David, autrefois protégé par Napoléon IV, s'efforce aujourd'hui de veiller sur Napoléon V. (Stéphane Bernard) Tout à fait, Leurs Majestés Impériales ont de très bonnes relations. D'ailleurs, lorsqu'il était encore prince impérial, Napoléon V a passé de nombreuses heures à coordonner l'alliance maritime entre nos deux pays.

[sassylittlecanary]

Stargirl — Courtney Whitmore

This is such a cute and in-character outfit for a teen girl anyway, and she wears it well! Pretty much the same from page to screen.

10/10

Hawkman — Carter Hall

Never an easy costume to recreate, but there was serious effort. The bronze breastplate instead of being shirtless works well, the helmet is beautifully crafted, and the gauntlets are a nice touch. The color scheme of his pants and belt is on point as well. The wings could be better, but also it was network TV in 2010.

9/10

Dr. Fate — Kent Nelson

Also not an easy one to pull off, but they did! The helmet looks fabulous and the design is pretty quintessential. However, the muscle plating down the front looks clunky and ugly.

8/10

Supergirl — Kara Zor-El

Clearly they took inspiration from both her classic look (red skirt) and 2000s one (bare midriff), and she looks so cute! Sadly it looks too casual to be a superhero costume. She also deserved to wear the S!! It’s her family crest, too!

7/10

Superboy — Conner Kent

Pretty accurate adaptation of the t-shirt and jeans look from the 2000s comics. Unfortunately for both of these versions, Kon’s 90s look rocked. Why are we choosing the boring versions of things.

5/10

Booster Gold — Michael Carter

He is the moment and he knows it!! I miss his half-cowl thingy and I hate the clunky muscle padding, but otherwise he looks good! All the advertisements/endorsements on his costume are so in-character and are a great touch.

8/10

Blue Beetle — Jaime Reyes

A slim but armored suit isn’t easy for network TV in 2011 to pull off, but they definitely tried!! It’s weirdly bulky, but it’s basically the same design, and you can see how much effort was put into it!

7/10

Rating Smallville superhero costumes based on how much they Commit To The Bit™️

(Not including Clark’s outfits because those deserve their own post)

Impulse/The Flash — Bart Allen

Initially he was an amalgam of various Flashes before he became Impulse, so his costume takes a bit of inspiration from everyone in the flashfam. Love the running shoes! Appreciate the lightning bolt striping! Unfortunately it’s literally just a cool hoodie and he never upgrades. Also why are those like, dress pants on a runner.

3/10

Aquaman — Arthur Curry

I like that it’s the same basic color scheme!! Bonus points that it’s basically a wetsuit. Practical but clearly comic inspired. Unfortunately also follows the mid-show trend of “my superhero outfit is a color-coded hoodie.”

6/10

Cyborg — Victor Stone

There’s lots of ways to do Cyborg’s look, but unfortunately “he has no visible cybernetic body parts” isn’t a great one. I get that budget was a factor, but also. Lame. At least they stuck to the color scheme.

2/10

Green Arrow — Oliver Queen

Points for the bright colors. Also, I love the attention to detail with the gauntlets and the little bicep bands! And the “G” on his belt! The codpiece looks clunky and I laugh every time I see the sunglasses, but this is a fun one.

8/10

Martian Manhunter — J’onn J’onzz

They should have let him be green!! Since they didn’t and instead showed him in his police detective identity, I understand his outfit being more subdued. Eventually he got a look that’s very clearly based on the comics, which for a plainclothes detective, I appreciate. Still, I hesitate to call it any kind of costume.

5/10

Black Canary — Dinah Lance

The short hair still throws me off (she does grow it out in later seasons), but otherwise this is pretty spot-on! I do not care about practicality. She has her fishnets! Her black bodysuit! The yellow accents!! I love.

9/10

Wonder Twins — Zan and Jayna

I like that they’re all in purple, and these looks worked, especially since they weren’t supposed to be superheroes yet. Still, a little underwhelming.

5/10

The Legion of Superheroes — Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad, and Cosmic Boy

So, they’re more or less in their comic book colors with a few symbols here and there to show who they are. Otherwise, it’s just color-coded leather jackets with very little effort. What happened to futuristic characters having fun and unique clothes?

3/10

Zatanna Zatara

THE look of all time. Absolutely flawless. No notes.

10/10

See first reblog for part two!

[zahri-melitor]

My comments on the Extended Generational Sorting Algorithm:

Gosh there are some murky in-betweens here.

G-1 – JSA and teams like the All-Star Squadron and the Blackhawks. The WWII edition. This is occasionally merged with G0 as timelines shift, but includes Hippolyta, Ted Knight, Sandra Knight (as Phantom Lady), Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, etc. A lot of this cohort have aging issues and several have grandkids in G1 or G1.5. Zinda simultaneously belongs to this group and G1.5.

G0 – JSA, the gap between WWII and the first JLA. This is the younger JSA cohort who aren’t so tied to WWII and the gap after. Dinah Drake. Ted Grant. Johnny Quick. Giovanni Zatara. Walter Chase (the Acro-Bat). Bruce’s parents. The Kents. Jim Gordon. Etc.

G1 – JLA land! Bruce, Clark, Diana, Ollie, Barry, Hal, Arthur, etc. You know them. Your idea of a headlining JLA includes these folk.

G1.5 – Birds of Prey and JLI zone. Characters too old to be Titans cohort but younger/clearly different than the G1 headliners. Barbara Gordon and Dinah Lance are the stalwarts of this group, plus I’ll add Helena Bertinelli, Cameron Chase, Kate Spencer, Kendra, etc. I guess I’d probably put Harley Quinn, agewise, here too. Also would add Beatriz, Tora, Booster, Ted Kord, etc. Guy and Zatanna sort of bounce between here and G1 depending on storyline.

G2 – it’s the Titans! Dick, Donna, Wally, Roy, Garth, Victor, Gar, Kory, Raven etc. Their agebounds are probably Roy as the oldest and Gar as the youngest, though Gar’s given to them as a courtesy – he’s realistically a member of G2.5, he just hangs with G2. We also add Kyle and Connor and Jesse Quick etc to this cohort despite them not being core Titans given their strong connections to particularly Donna and Wally.

G2.5 – The JL Taskforce kids and Jason’s non-existent team. Ray Palmer’s Teen Titans. This is a group of individuals that has never properly coalesced. Overlaps in age with both the bottom of G2 and the top of G3 but distinctly don’t belong to either. Jason, Ray, Grant, Argent, Cynthia, Eddie, Snapper Carr, plus Danny Chase and arguably Gar all fall into this group. Rose Wilson overlaps with G3 but vibeswise probably also belongs to this group. I am tossing up whether Anissa and Jennifer Pierce belong here or in G2.

G3 – Young Justice. Tim, Kon, Cassie, Bart, Cissie, Greta, Anita. Cass Cain belongs here despite being the same age as several G2.5s. Steph, Charlie, Black Alice, Jaime, Zachary Zatara, even a handful of the newer folk like Jinny Hex slot in here. Several Supergirls including current Kara, Courtney Whitmore IS a member of this group and the three oldest Marvel kids (Billy, Mary and Freddy) are currently aged into this.

G4 – Damian’s Teen Titans. Damian, Jon Kent (yes even still with the age up), Emiko Queen, Ace West etc. If they are still a teen right now in DC storytelling or SHOULD be a teen, they belong here (if they’re a teen and SHOULDN’T be they’re probably a G3/G5). The Gotham Academy kids. Arguably the Titan Academy kids too? Agewise the DEO Titans kids but spiritually probably not (also the chances of us ever seeing them again is…low) The younger Marvel kids (Eugene, Pedro and Darla especially) are with this group.

G5 – so this group are either alternate G3 or G3.5s. Too new and too un-networked with G3 to be absorbed. Jace Fox, Yara Flor, Jackson Hyde, Duke Thomas and the We Are Robin cohort all belong here. Kong Kenan, Avery Ho, etc also are members.

G6 – Titans Offspring Gen. Almost everyone in this group has been artificially aged, which is a thing, hey. Lian, Irey, Jai, Cerdian, Robbie. Maxine, obviously. Otho and Osul-Ra.

G7 – Help I’m From Earth-One: Power Girl and Helena Wayne.

G8 – The Lost Children – also Help I’m From Earth-One in a lot of respects but they’re in their teens, not adults. May get folded into other groups if they get more use.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to five other writers! 💗

Ooh this is fun!

But All Will Be Well - M, Edwina Sharma x Prince Friedrich

Recently finished but I had this in the works for a while but held off because trolls are grating but this has been so much fun to write!

The Shephards - M, Time's Convert AU

My need for more of Miriam's backstory in the All Souls Series combined with my need for more Marcus and Phoebe resulted in this fic! I really enjoyed writing for them and expanding on Miriam's story because I adore her.

The Gods do Dream - G, Sally Jackson x Poseidon, Angst

Sally Jackson is a queen and the scene with her and Poseidon in the new PJO series was so 😭😭.

1 + 1 = the heir to the throne - M, Arthur Pendragon x Gwen, Fluff

The family and babies Arthur and Gwen deserved!! I also made a family tree!

An Unusual Offer - M, Phoebe Taylor x Marcus Whitmore

Phoebe Taylor ends up working for Baldwin Montclair as his art consultant, drawing her into the world of creatures and the de Clermont family.

I really enjoyed writing this au. These two were just my faves and I loved how the show expanded on their love story and I loved Phoebe so this au was so much fun to write.

Update : Whitmore in the 1300 Century.

Parents of Simon, Gavin and Alivia Whitmore. They died before Simon met his wife and started his life. They passed away during the first few weeks of the 1300s.

Year 1305 (in game calendar)

but because peter is a child he is the age between 10 - 12 years old. And Arthur is a toddler making him the age between 4 - 6 years old.

Peter has aged up to a child :D and Arthur is now a toddler. Genevieve is pregnant with their third child, a girl. They will be naming her Maeve Whitmore.

Here you see the royal family arranging a marriage union between the prince and a noble family.

Im still struggling to play the other households and get them all married, or single lives. None of the sims have even tried to be with someone without me doing all the interactions.

Character Actor

Parley Edward Baer (August 5, 1914 – November 22, 2002) Actor in radio and later in television and film. Despite dozens of appearances in television series and theatrical films, he remains best known as the original "Chester" in the radio version of Gunsmoke, and as the Mayor of Mayberry (Roy Stoner) in The Andy Griffith Show.

As an on-camera performer, Baer was recognizable by his distinctive voice, his paunchy appearance, and his balding head. Often he portrayed fussy, bossy, and/or obstinate officials or neighbors. Extended television roles included blustering, by-the-book Mayor Stoner on The Andy Griffith Show, the neighbor Darby on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, frequent guest appearances on The Addams Family as insurance man and city commissioner Arthur J. Henson, and in the late 1990s, Miles Dugan on The Young and the Restless. He also appeared as a telephone executive on Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.

Baer guest-starred in the 1950s on NBC's The Dennis Day Show and It's a Great Life, on CBS's Hey, Jeannie!, on ABC's The Law and Mr. Jones with James Whitmore, on the syndicated crime drama Johnny Midnight with Edmond O'Brien, and on the NBC children's western series, Fury with Peter Graves and Bobby Diamond. He made six guest appearances on Perry Mason during the last five seasons of the CBS legal drama, including the role of Edward Farraday in the 1962 episode, "The Case of the Captain's Coins," and Willard Hupp in the 1963 episode, "The Case of the Bouncing Boomerang".

He also appeared on the ABC sitcom Harrigan and Son, on the ABC/Warner Bros. crime drama, The Roaring 20s, on NBC's crime drama Dan Raven starring Skip Homeier, and on the NBC family drama, National Velvet. Baer was cast twice on Walter Brennan's sitcom, The Real McCoys. He also guest-starred on the CBS sitcoms Dennis the Menace with Jay North, The Tom Ewell Show with Tom Ewell, and Angel, starring Annie Fargé. In the latter, he carried the lead as Dr. Mathews in the single episode "The Dentist", with Maudie Prickett as his dental secretary.

In 1961, Baer guest-starred on Marilyn Maxwell's short-lived ABC drama series, Bus Stop. On April 13, 1962, he appeared, along with Frank Ferguson and Royal Dano in ABC's crime drama Target: The Corruptors in the episode "Journey into Mourning".

In 1963, Baer appeared with Charles Aidman and Karl Swenson in the three-part episode "Security Risk", a story of international blackmail and intrigue, on the CBS anthology series, GE True, hosted by Jack Webb.

In 1964, Baer was cast as a sheriff in an episode of Mickey Rooney's short-lived Mickey sitcom, and as a scientist in an Outer Limits episode, "Behold, Eck!" He was seen in four episodes of Hogan's Heroes and eight episodes of Bewitched in various roles as advertising clients of McMann and Tate.

Baer was cast as Horace Greeley, who came to Colorado in 1859 in the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, in the 1965 episode "The Great Turkey War" of the syndicated series, Death Valley Days.

In 1967, Baer appeared as General Whitfield on the I Dream of Jeannie episode, "Fly Me to the Moon".

Baer made two appearances on Petticoat Junction. In the 1966 episode, "Jury at the Shady Rest", he was Bailiff Tucker. Then, in the 1969 episode, "The Glen Tinker Caper", he was Judge Madison.

Later guest appearances included Three for the Road, Three's Company (as a cooking competition judge), The San Pedro Beach Bums, The A-Team, Star Trek: Voyager, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Dukes of Hazzard, Night Court, Newhart, Little House on the Prairie, The Golden Girls, Hazel, and Mad About You. He also played the role of the minister who married J. R. and Sue Ellen Ewing for their second marriage on Dallas. He also made guest appearances on F Troop.

Some 10 years earlier, Baer played a closet racist in a Christmas episode of Bewitched. The episode "Sisters at Heart" aired on ABC on December 24, 1970, in which he played the role of Mr. Brockway, the owner of a toy-manufacturing firm.  (Wikipedia)
