lowhonor arthur morgan x female reader

꒰ 𝝑𓏲 ꒱ suggestive , he wants u so bad

VALENTINE'S DAY, the day of expressing love and sweet affection to the one. someone you absolutely adore from head to toe, showing just how much you love with words or with action, depending on who you are. arthur morgan wasn't those types of people.

arthur was rough 'n' tough, took all from everything, heavy blood in hid hands and it filled him with pride making other people miserable, especially with you since you were such an easy girl to tease! he couldn't help it :(

he adores seeing ur pretty pout, ur lashes fluttering the tears away if he gets too mean, or how you'd shove him if he got even meaner with you. to him, if it was funny like to you, he was just kidding. well, most of the time. he was just kidding, right?

you didn't expect much from him on valentine's day. he was a wanted man, and this was the life the two of you live. only ur thinking about him changed once you walked into ur tent, a letter? a note?... it even had a flower beside it, one of your favourites.

dear [your name],

i know I've been busy, but i still like you a lot. well, more than i tell you, and i mean it every time time i tell you. was hoping you would let me take out from camp, just two of us. been stuck here for too long.

a.m

huh. he's never acted like that before.. was he planning something? no, he wouldn't be. he's too— egotistical, even too self-centered for that. you knew he cared about himself more than anyone else. just as you were about to turn around, u felt someone's chest pressed about your back, soon wrapping their hands around your torso. he came close to your neck.

“didya like my lil' note, sugar? made it just fer ya before i left.” arthur says against your ear, his rumbling with each word he spoke. a small smile forms as your face as he spins you round to face, his hands wrapping around your wrists.

what was he doing— you felt your heart race a little move as you felt ur legs hit ur cot as he was walking towards you. he always knew he made you nervous and he'd often tease and rile you up about it. he was handsome, yes, but could just be so intimidating...

“think we should get out to rhodes, spend a little time by the saloon, doll...” he says before he takes your hand and practically pins you down to your cot, he gets on top of you as you felt butterflies flying crazy in your stomach, feeling every nerve and excitement going through your veins.

“then, i think we should get a room. how's that sound, honey?”

it sounds perfect.

just a little something for Tommy Kinard Appreciation Day and @peppermintquartz <3

A few weeks after they get back together, Tommy comes over to the loft for dinner. It's nothing fancy, no special occasion – Evan's got a new roasted chicken recipe and they both have the night off, so Tommy shows up around 6:00 with a bottle of wine and a slightly nicer-than-average shirt.

He's rummaging around in a kitchen drawer, looking for some matches or something to light the candles on the dining table, when he finds the notebook. It's one of those composition books with the classic black and white cover, the miniature version, a little beat up. He probably shouldn't read it – scratch that, he definitely shouldn't read it – but.

It's labeled with his name.

Tommy, right on the cover, in Evan's handwriting.

He glances over his shoulder. Evan has his back turned, fussing with the salad dressing and not particularly paying attention, so Tommy palms the little notebook and wanders over to the living room to open it.

The first page has a single sentence: Things I Miss about him. After that it turns into a list.

His eyes

the way his face scrunches up when he smiles for real

his hands

His ass! And his dick!!!

I feel like I shouldnt write that but it's true!!

Tommy swallows hard. Evan's handwriting is kind of uneven and hard to read, and his spelling and punctuation aren't the best – but it's undoubtedly a list, all lined up with neat little bullet points, of the things he'd missed about Tommy while they'd been apart.

His hugs

especialy the way he used to press our cheeks together and hang on just a little longer then I was expecting him too

He's such a good firefighter and so expereinced, I always felt like I couldve learned alot from him

the competency in general... hes so good at so many things!

he could be so bitchy/sarcastic but he's actually so kind. Like his jokes were never mean

Really good with kids

he would be an amazing dad someday

The last item is barely legible, thoroughly scratched out, as though Evan had thought twice about it the moment he'd written it down. Tommy feels tears prick behind his eyes. Evan would make a fantastic father, he thinks. They haven't really talked about it – marriage, kids, the whole nine yards. Before, it had been too early, and now that they're together again... it still feels too new, too raw, to bring it up. But Evan's the first person who's ever made Tommy want to have that conversation. He flips to the next page.

I don't want it to sound like I was only with him for sex but god I miss his body so much

Tommy snorts. He's so absorbed he doesn't hear Evan call out from the kitchen.

"What was that, babe?"

He took such good care of me. like when I hurt my shoulder but also just in general. He checked in with me alot and always made sure I was ok

really good listener

Did I take care of him enough? did I listen to him enough?

I think maybe I didn't

"Hey, Tommy, did you – oh," Evan says, poking his head around the stairs. "Uh. You found that."

"I'm sorry," Tommy says immediately. "I shouldn't have looked at it, I just – it had my name on it," he finishes lamely.

"It's okay," Evan says, coming to sit next to him on the couch. "It's just a little embarrassing. I didn't really know what to do with myself, I had a lot to say and, uh, people got kind of sick of me talking about you after a while. So I started writing it down. I kind of forgot it was still floating around."

The thing is, over the past couple of weeks they've talked about those last two items on the list. Tommy's been honest about the fact that he'd felt, at times, that he was being more careful with Evan than Evan was being with him. About the fact that he'd been okay with that, until he wasn't; that he'd been okay in the role of fun, sexy first boyfriend, until he realized that not only were he and Evan not on the same page, they weren't even reading the same book.

It's different to see the words written out so plainly. But they're on the same page now. They're walking into the same future, hand in hand.

Tommy sets the little notebook aside and laces his fingers together with Evan's.

"I love you a lot, you know," he says. It's not the first time he's said it, but it still feels so special it's a little unreal.

"I love you, too," Evan says instantly, beaming, eyes twinkling.

Do you have any headcanons about the spire gang (shadow milk, Truthless recluse, Candy Apple and Black Sapphire?) for example I have a headcanon that Truthless is actually a huge gossip once you get him going and that candy apple and black sapphire include him in fun minion activities.

So I DEFINITELY do, but they don't start out fun

I'm gonna label these the hurt, and the comfort

Trigger Warning for Candy Apple using 'autistic' as an insult in the comfort (she's autistic)

---- THE HURT -----

I think Black Sapphire and Candy Apple were kind of raised in the spire, that's why they're Shadow Milk's only cookie minions left.

Candy Apple claims that Shadow Milk created her.

And Shadow Milk also refers to Recluse as 'a new child of deceit'

Who are the other children of deceit? Candy Apple and Black Sapphire

I think the reason for Candy Apple and Black Sapphire's collective crashout in BY8 is primarily because;

They blame Pure Vanilla for Shadow Milk's neglectful behavior

AND they're scared he likes these new kids; Gingerbrave, Strawberry, and Wizard Cookie More than Them.

Shadow Milk made rooms for all four of them, Shadow Milk stopped being super cruel to the kids during the card game- Shadow Milk seemed fully intent on keeping the kids around

Even if they don't have a parent/child relationship- they both seemed to feel like they were being replaced.

I think if Truthless Recluse had stayed in the spire, he would have a hard time reaching out to them.

And I also don't even think Shadow Milk realizes that they See Him as a father figure. He's not a terrible father on purpose. I'm certain he /wants/ kids because of how he interracted with the kids prior to throwing them off a building. He's just an idiot who doesn't understand children (because he was never a child) and thinks they have a working relationship.

---- THE COMFORT----

Okay so I have an AU that is either going to be the ending of reluctant truth or a total seperate War Is Over AU/Domestic AU

With Pure Vanilla's help Shadow Milk ends up realizing he DOES have kids, and owning up to his mistakes- like- a lot.

Black Sapphire and Candy Apple move into the Vanilla Kingdom, and Pure Vanilla and Shadow Milk personally paint their rooms. Candy Apple's has a mural of an Apple Tree in it and Black Sapphire's has a mural of bats running a radio show (sort of like the one in texas chainsaw 2)

They both go to school at Pardaedia institute- And Shadow Milk apologizes to Latte to try to get them in

She says if he really wants to make it up to her, they're in need of a new theatre teacher

Cue Shadow Milk teaching actual children and not graduate students for the first time in his entire life

and unexpectedly? Loving the hell out of it

Candy Apple is proud to be the self proclaimed best actress in theatre class (Shadow Milk keeps avoiding giving her leading roles so it doesn't look like he's playing favorites)

Cream Puff Cookie offers to be friends first- and Candy Apple tries to be Mean About it. "I don't NEED friends- what are you autistic?"

"Oh- um- yes- actually?"

"mmmmmmmmmmmmm. That gross old man Pure Vanilla says I am too. Meet me in the auditorium at lunch. You can eat with me. Have you ever tried putting Syrup in your hair? I think you'd look pretty"

Princess Cookie and Knight Cookie spend a semester at the school because Princess is looking to improve her magic

This leads to Candy Apple being forced to apologize. Which makes her HATE Princess Cookie. Which then leads to a 'Well my dad could beat your dad' arguement and then-

'Well ANYONE could beat My Dad, Candy Apple Cookie, But I bet Your Dad Couldn't Beat My Grandpar!'

Shadow Milk is SOMEHOW dragged into a fight against Pitaya Dragon Cookie- And ALSO ITS A PEP RALLY????

Black Sapphire has major angst over Shadow Milk just Now realizing he's their dad, and Refuses to join Theatre. Pure Vanilla encourages him to join the debate club instead because he's always liked public speaking.

Black Sapphire and Walnut cookie are Debate Rivals turned partners- and despite Almond Cookie being the debate coach- Black Sapphire's fairly certain Walnut Deserves to be the debate captain.

Pure Vanilla still picks his kids and his husband up from School and Work- and when Shadow Milk has to stay late for meetings, or to grade assignments, Pure Vanilla takes the kids out to have fun.

Despite hating the idea of going to an amusement park at first, the kids are really delighted when they find out that Cream Unicorn's has a haunted house (It was designed for pumpkin pie cookie). They love forcing Pure Vanilla to go in with them because he still gets scared every time.

I have like 5 billion ideas about this au so feel free to ask more if you like it dhfjvjv

Davion knew it was a lot knowing his cousin thinks of some things major but he was proud that she's understanding. Even with her being a mom herself with 6 kids. Though, their brothers are or was like brothers in the dragon blood line.

"Thank you, Cuz! I also want to know if you know anyone who's willing to teach some swordsmanship or anything that might help the kids to train their powers. I know back then, me and my fraction were wild and we had no schooling when it comes to our powers, it's mostly free-styling!" Ink jokes.

"Heh, how can I forget? Given you and the others were always going all out having fun. But that's who you are Ink and I'm glad it didn't change as you gotten older." he said proud of his cousin. "I might knew a few people that can help. I can give them a call when I can." However, he saw the frown.

"But…." She sighs as she frowns a bit, "for Melinda and Jaron's kids, they didn't want to kill those guys even if the kidnappers made their beds, knowing what they're getting themselves into. But those kids don't deserve what happened to them."

"True. I know those two were terrified for what happened. Even for Abi that used her power to make the kidnappers kill themselves. And the other kids went through something like that.......even..your kids cousin." Davion remembers one day even some fools tried kidnapping the six claws children. Yeah, he knew his father and her father was NOT happy. Even he never seen Ink so furious that day. She almost burned the whole building down looking for her little drakes.

"I mean…" Ink sits down on her chair as she puts one leg over the other. "I don't know…I'm never a responsible person but I want my fraction and their kids to be raised in a way that makes them happy and safe. I really getting sick of people trying to kidnapping them so I want the school to be up and running once we find a perfect place for it on Earth."

"ink that goes for you too remember? Your a mom now to six kids yourself. Every one of us don't want the children to go through something horrible like that. I mean some of them from what I heard are scarred a bit from it. Or scared. They know things in this world is not fair but I believe a school for them would be a great idea to help them understand..."

Davion blinks but he follows her to another room seeing the work in her office. Wow, seems it was the same after. He already finished his work but it was fine. Knowing the six claws helped her. However, he looks to hear what she was going to say.

"First off, I asked Izuku to be a teacher since he's good at analyzing people so he gives advice and some counseling." He said. "Then we have Rin do the swordsmanship.

"Uh huh I can agree with you on the choices. Izuku is pretty good with data collecting and with him getting info from each kid, that can help us with teaching them." Davion nods. "Same with Rin with his weapon training."

"So I know you're going to have some opinions about the next two ones. So here are my best candidates that comes to teaching." Ink said, "One I was thinking of asking Matt to teach our kids about survival skills since he's really good at living forest and has good instincts." She placed one. "I also heard his mate, Ryu is also good at these kinds of things along with a few of his vassals."

"Also agree with that too. I've seen how Matt and Ryu work on that. Even seeing a training session with them helping the kids over there." DAvion was still with her so far.

And here comes the next one... "And Sukuna. King of Curses. He's good at sorcery, especially jujutsu sorcery. He can teach and gives good constructive criticism. Taz vouches for him and I believe that." He said.

"Sukuna huh? Well, I'm going to be honest and agree. True, he tends to give some harsh truth but..it helps. Maybe he can help with that given time.." he said crossing his arms.

[aikoiya]

Mmm... While I agree with most of these observations, I'd like to point out a few things. For one, did you really mean "stolen" or confiscated? Because, if the police legitimately stole that evidence, then it'd become inadmissible in a court of law. They'd need to be obtained via a lawful search & seizure or it's counted as illegal evidence. If they didn't, then the smarter defendants can file motions to suppress it.

The issue I have with Metaton's confession is that, by editing it so that Frisk seems to have been shopped in, then Alphys wouldn't really need to edit out Metaton's confession. The reason being that Metaton could dismiss it as having been part of the show. I mean, without clear evidence that the Frisk in the footage was the real Frisk & that he was really in danger, then how can the police be sure that Metaton actually committed a crime?

And the problem with proving that Frisk had been attacked would be all the magical healing items in the game. If he used some to heal any of the wounds that Metaton left, then he could end up being one of the few monsters that could legitimately get off as close to scot-free as possible. Like, yes, he'd absolutely need to serve some sort of time for working for Asgore & not stopping him, but without concrete proof of his other wrongdoings, the police might need a confession. Like, an actual confession & if it is recorded, then it might need to be sound only.

See, I've never been a fan of Frisk being abused because it then brings into question why he'd even leave the Ruins to begin with. Let alone be so determined to get out of the Underground.

Like, what's his motivation? What's driving him to leave? Without something worth returning to the Surface for, why bother?

Sure, he's determined. But determined to do what?

In my mind, his predisposition to forgive them all need not be due to an abusive family. It could be as simple as the kid had a great family, but bullies who pick on him & shitty teachers like Madame Bustier from Miraculous Ladybug. Who insisted that he be the better person & forgive his bullies so as to lead them by example in an attempt to try & teach the bullies how to be better people. And keep in mind that Frisk is still a kid.

And, if so, then his experiences through the Resets might've even reinforced this sort of thinking.

For instance, Frisk could be a victim of neglect, but his parents actually love him a lot. It's just that either they're poor & both work all the time. Or, they may both be neurodivergent & that results in them having issues with object permanence as well as having no relationship decay. It's similar to how the monsters have forgotten about the other fallen humans.

But, regardless, there are ways to make Frisk's overly forgiving nature seem plausible without making his parents malicious. To me, that just seems a bit boring, but ignore me. This is your au & you choose how it goes.

What if the mayor of the city near MT Ebott welcomed the monsters with open arms?

But he's the younger brother of the human that fell down before Frisk...

The mayor's older brother was the Justice Soul.

The mayor has a daughter with a soul of patience.

The mayor also has a fondness for cowboys and has a soul of kindness.

The mayor is kinda traumatized by losing his brother.

The mayor ironically became quite close with Asgore (his brother's killer).

When the mayor finds out the truth about what Asgore and the monsters have done.

He feels heartbroken, betrayed and hatred begins to fill his once kind soul.

The monsters were put on trial, but the judge decides that only Asgore, Toriel, Undyne, Alphys, Mettaton, Papyrus, Sans and the Royal Guard (the main monsters that hurt Frisk) should go to prison.

The mayor is outraged that so many other monsters that hurt Frisk and wanted to hurt other humans can be set free.

So, the mayor decides to make the monsters living in his city feel like it's a prison.

It was horrible; despite the rest of the monsters being free to go, many humans glare, insult and even attack them over their past actions inside the mountain.

The mayor's anti-monster propaganda doesn't help.

Even the humans that the monsters befriended don't trust them anymore.

It's gotten so hard to live in the city, that many monsters returned to MT Ebott.

But it wasn't enough for the mayor, he wants them all to disapear from his life forever.

The mayor then discovers a Corrupted Gaster (or evil creature from the void).

The void creature offers to help the mayor create a time machine, to prevent the Justice Human from ever entering the mountain.

The mayor could place giant boulders on both entrances to the mountain, so the beast can rot down there, and future kids will be safe.

The void creature convinces the mayor to kidnap Frisk and place them in a magical coma (Frisk's determination and reset powers are the main power source for the machine).

Flowey tried to protect Frisk, but he got captured as well.

The void creature also convinces the mayor to kidnap monster children (including Monster Kid) to harvest the magic of their souls.

Since monster souls fade away quickly, the monster children will be kept alive and imprisoned until the machine is ready.

The mayor is quite hesitant about doing this part until the creature says: "King Asgore didn't hesitate to harvest your brother's soul, so why should you care what happens to these beasts?"

"What about Frisk?"

"Frisk tried to hide the truth to protect all the monsters... Frisk is just as guilty as they are."

The mayor's soul gets darker.

The mayor's daughter is horrified by what her father is becoming.

The daughter promises Monster Kid that she'll find a way to save everyone.

If she freed all of them now, her father would notice and recapture them.

The daughter only frees Flowey, tells him everything and then they tell the imprisoned main monsters.

The main monsters bust out of jail and become fugitives to save Frisk, despite everything they've been through.

The 'time machine' is actually a giant device that will plunge the world into the void, but the mayor doesn't know this.

Asgore and Toriel try to convince the mayor that revenge will only make things worse.
