BECOME the flock /silly

I NEED a flock, holy shi-

[verdemoun]

Au where instead of taking Kieran’s eyes out they sew his mouth shut (and he also gets saved teehee)

expanding on this au where they cut his tongue out and sew his mouth shut.

arthur gets back to camp one unremarkable day to everyone in a flustered panic? charles is quick to explain it's kieran: charles found him being held by o'driscolls, he's beat up, he's hurt, and the medically inclined of the gang are currently trying to cut through the stitches on his mouth that were an obvious 'you talked, you're not talking anymore'

they get through it only for kieran to roll onto his side and start hacking clumps of blood. by the time the gang get an update kieran is passed out asleep despite maintaining a white-knuckle grip on mary-beth's wrist.

his tongue is gone, there was a cut in his throat from attempted decapitation, he's so thin and weak they're shocked he's still breathing. frankly, they advise he's probably going to die during the night

instead of dying, they're greeted to the terrifying visage of kieran bolting into shady belle in the dead of night, hyperventilating, his mouth a black hole in the dim light as he starts screaming. he woke up alone and it is very quickly not a mistake they will make again

without a tongue, and with some nerve damage to his mouth and throat, kieran can't communicate. especially at first. it's hoarse grunts and screaming. he can't make words, but the thing that distresses him most is that he can't whistle. whistling meant being able to call branwen, always having an escape and a means to run from danger.

anxiety becomes all-consuming. he can't handle being alone, because he can't call for help. he can scream, sure, but screaming didn't help when he was taken in the first place. for a long while, he needed to have someone in grabbing distance. his anxiety won't let him groom horses, because he's terrified of someone coming up behind him.

lenny teaches him, and the few gang members Kieran actually might talk to (namely Arthur, Mary-Beth, Karen and for funsies Sean's alive in this au) asl, which somehow leads to a new fear: kieran is terrified of the dark. dark means not being able to find people, and dark means people not being able to understand him

when the gang breaks down those four would become their own posse, with kieran stable boy and mary-beth becoming a sadie adler style 'don't fuck with my husband' protective of him. he loves listening to her read

Shocking: glitch turns reddit into tumblr

reddit is having a glitch where it puts the wrong captions over photos and it’s the only thing i care about right now

one positive interaction between kieran and hosea in canon would've cured me. just one. i mean i'd settle for an interaction but a positive interaction?? imagine hosea talking to kieran at the scouts' fire in clemen's point, just small talk, a teasing comment saying he was surprised kieran hadn't run back to the o'driscolls and then asking kieran a little about himself, kieran absolutely failing to hold a conversation because it's been so long since an interaction with the gang didn't result in his balls and/or life being threatened, hosea asking if he fishes in desperation to get any conversation going and kieran lighting up a little. hosea saying he'll get kieran a fishing pole since he doesn't have one yet. just seeing kieran slowly become accepted by the gang.

If i remember correctly, the gang finds kieran whole hes out hunting for food, so you could assume that hes good at it, good enough to feed a whole camp of odriscolls.

I think it would be really funny if arthur, kieran and charles go hunting and kieran comes back wearing a full fur coat and chaps lol

Anything that gave us more canon Kieran content but also it would be hilarious.

Charles is trying to explain tracking while a herd of deer are grazing nearby. Arthur admittedly is listening because he needs a refresher but Kieran is showing to be a very dutiful student

Until he suddenly grabs the rifle he's borrowing from Arthur off his back and fires towards the deer, missing by a few inches and spooking the lot off.

As Arthur starts to mock him 'oh great we got the dud O'Driscoll that can't hit a goddamned deer standing still 30 yards ahead of him', Charles taps Arthur's shoulder.

A behemoth of a grizzly bear is sliding down the hill dead, a single shot perfectly between its eyes.

Kieran sighs in relief and very sincerely apologizes for interrupting Charles, asking him to go on with the lesson.

Turns out Kieran is insanely far-sighted, to the point where he can make out things moving at a distance most people can't. And words in a book are just black smudges to him.

Since the very firm agreement was they only get to keep what they kill (intended to cut Kieran out of any profit ), Kieran rides into camp with a new saddle, coat, pants and boots all curtesy of the trapper and more meat than they can keep without it spoiling.

Hosea is almost moved to tears by the bear meat stew just like his mama used to make it (burned to hell and back).

Everyone eats good and Kieran, who still has no intention of leaving camp alone, gives the surplus away to the boys who regularly work jobs, earning himself a slither of respect.

Arthur, petty drama queen, insists on cooking the rabbit he shot at the scout fire, occasionally spitting out buckshot.

The gang are all aware Arthur is like this and are letting him eat alone - because he would swallow the buckshot out of pride if someone was there to witness it.

fantasy rdr2 au for halloween:

almost every single o'driscoll is a werewolf (traditional sort: they don't entirely have control/remember what happens when they are in wolf form)

dutch killed colm's brother because he bit young arthur, cursing the traumatized boy who had already been through enough in his life with lycanthropy

however, as arthur gets older, and dutch starts becoming less of the 'old dutch', he treats arthur like an attack dog

arthur being a werewolf is a secret to most of the gang, because werewolves have pretty bad reps. only john, abigail, hosea, dutch and susan are meant to know. charles and of all people pearson figured it out on their own. kieran also knows as a former o'driscoll

no one knows if hosea is actually psychic or just a really good con-man but he's accurate enough for them to trust most of his calls

john's fear of wolves is actually due to arthur, who scratched him as a child. he won't let jack near arthur when a full moon is close

sean is supernaturally lucky (always rescued just before he's killed by bounty hunters, bullets flying fraction of an inch from his head in rhodes) jokes it's the luck of the irish but actually lives in constant fear of his luck running out

uncle is an quasi-immortal that still ages at a slowed rate. he has been in his late 50s for over a century and hates it

miss grimshaw is a siren but has lost most of her abilities due to thinking she is no longer beautiful. people are still compelled to listen to her but more out of fear than allure

javier is a vampire and treats john like his personal blood bank

kieran is a dullahan. the gang did not know this until horsemen, apocalypses, where his body stood after being thrown and immediately started shooting at o'driscolls. without his head, his body has a radically different personality and communicates through rudimentary sign language (mostly giving the middle finger and smacking people)

lenny has an eidetic memory, which in itself wouldn't be supernatural if his memory didn't extend to past lives. he's met uncle as at least three different lives and they didn't get along in any of them. sometimes randomly gets homesick for past lives

karen is a nymph. the maenad, ecstatic frenzied drinking mad women, sort. not the sweet, nature tending element kind

charles is literally just some human guy trying to keep up. he's actually the main character.

Ok so I'm (moss) in front again, and I am pretty sure I'm not a dragon, unlike blue.

This could have quite possibly been part of why questioning the dragon kintype took so long
