First Snowfall of the Year - Sean MacGuire x Reader

Plot: You and Sean celebrate the first snowfall of the year with some needed quality time.

Warnings: None

Word Count: 522

Ever since Colter, you've despised the snow.

It's been eight years since then but the memories of almost freezing to death were still raw.

That's why when you awoke in yours and Sean's newly built homestead and saw that it snowed overnight, you audibly groaned. Sean grumbled at your groaning and turned over, his green eyes fluttering open "What is it?" he asked, sitting up. You pointed to the window, the ground was covered in a soft, white blanket.

Sean blinked sleepily, his brow furrowing as he followed your finger to the window. He chuckled once he saw the snow "There's no reason to be groanin' bout' a lil snow, love," he said, laying back down on the bed. You let out a sigh "It is," you tell him "We have chores to do and I don't want to do it in a bunch of snow," you finish, sitting on the edge of the bed, about to get up.

You felt a hand wrap around your wrist and your body being pulled back on the bed. Sean chuckled and kissed your forehead, as he looked down at you "Stay with me, love, just for a few more minutes," he said, laying down and pulling you to where your back was pressing up against his chest.

"Fine," you, teasingly, sigh and let him rest his head on your shoulder. Thinking more and more about the snow made you anxious, you shoved the thoughts away, you had Sean and a warm house, you weren't going to freeze to death.

"Always so eager," he said, kissing the back of your neck "Chores can wait, it's just me an' you now." You smiled softly, basking in his attention, even though you both had tons of chores to get done today. "It's just...after Blackwater, we had to travel in the freezing cold, you weren't there of course, but I almost froze to death if it wasn't for Arthur," you explained to him, your heart tightening in your chest at the mention of your fallen friend. Sean sighed "I know, love, but you're safe now, you're not in the middle of the mountains, you're with me."

"Just lay in bed, stay with me for a while, chores can wait," he murmured, feeling up your body. You smiled and turned your head towards him "What do you think you're doing, Mr. MacGuire?" you ask. Sean smirks "I think ya know what I'm doin, Mrs. MacGuire." Sean rubs his hands up and down your body, and before you know it, his hands are tickling your sides. You squeal in laughter "Sean!" you shriek "Stop!"

He laughs at your pitiful attempt to escape. "Sean!" you laugh as he kept tickling you. He stopped after you lost the ability to breath after a while and you gasped for air, still laughing. "That was not funny!" you gasped. Sean smirked "I think it was," he said, wrapping his arm around you "But seriously, love, let's lay down for a least a few more minutes."

As your heartbeat settled, for the first time, the snow that was falling outside didn't worry you one bit.

Rip Sean MacGuire you would’ve LOVED brainrot

[flo-zoinks]

I hc that Sean knows a bit of Irish galeic or even fluent in it, ik now a days it's considered dying language (cough cough result colonization) if iirc it started "dying" around the 17th century

That's a good head canon!

Now forgive me if I make any mistakes on my weak knowledge of Irish history, and correct me if I do!!!

Sean says he comes from Donegal, a county north west of Ireland. However, he has a very strong Dublin accent according to some Irish natives, which is vastly different from a Donegal accent. (highlighted in words like the pronunciation of brother like "brudda" etc) Some could speculate that could mean his Da was from Dublin, but moved to Donegal before ultimately going the USA. Often children can develop the accents of their parents despite outward influences, especially if he'd moved to be with other family from Dublin in Donegal. (My brother used to have a Mexican accent in school lmfao).

We can assume for this he was born around circa 1876, and seeing as he moved young, but still old enough to have good memory of his time in Ireland he probably left circa 1892, aprx -7 or +2.

This is a map showing the concentration of Irish speakers by 1871. In Dublin, the accent is almost non-existent. However in Donegal, it's clearly very widely spoken (I've highlighted the two places). If Sean was to have a Dublin accent from his Da, you can assume his main influence, the main person he spoke to was his Father, perhaps not much to other people in comparison as his accent isn't that influenced.

(For example I'm quite widely social and when I moved to the south when I was about 6 in two weeks I lost my HEAVY northern accent for a very southern one, whilst my brother who was quite private in his words kept a mexican accent from our Mother)

So I think Sean's Da probably didn't speak Irish Gaelic in it's full fluency or maybe even at all past 2 or 3 words, so he probably couldn't of taught him. Yet I still think he learnt a lot from Donegal, being a majority spoken Irish county, and being talkative himself must've learnt quite a bit. Perhaps fluently by the time he'd left for the USA.

Thanks for talking to me I love to hear this!!! ❤what do you think? I apologise I'm not very educated on Irish Gaelic, as much as I know I should be atleast, so forgive me if I made any mistakes and please correct me!!

These signs are to only be looked out for if you can’t visualize him in your mind's eye.

Clown-O-Meter:

Does He Do Any Pranks?: Countless. He's that outgoing guy who makes fun of everything and never takes himself seriously. He is bold, playful, and often drunk — taking pleasure in teasing and being teased. Even in his "last moments" (because we all know that he just dwarfed into a mini leprechaun rather than just die), he can't help but make a sarcastic remark.

What Are His Emo Moments?: He was injured by lawmen but he refused to give up his friends, he recalls his father being killed by Englishmen, he is marked by unrest and unpredictability, and his "grave" has somewhat emo undertones to it.

Does He Have A Stage Presence?: In any gathering of the Van der Linde gang, Sean is often the one cracking jokes, telling stories, and generally keeping spirits high. He naturally draws attention to himself, making him a very memorable and engaging character. He's full of energy, humor, and enthusiasm, which gives him an infectious spirit.

Does He Have A Clown Cult?: Yes, he belongs to what technically can be called a "clown cult" made of cowpokes, the Van der Linde Gang.

Would He Be Part Of A Killer Clown Version of Rebel Clown Army?: Definitely. He has a rebellious streak and is willing to challenge the status quo. He claimed that the two things he hated were Englishmen and the rich. He values personal freedom above all else and chafes under any form of control or oppression. He wants to live life on his own terms without being dictated to by others.

Did He Kill One Of His Family Members?: Nah, he very much loved his Da and, according to @sushisocks, his mom probably died when he was just a wee lad. He doesn't really remember her. Howbeit, as much as he hates other forms of authority, he would be an exception.

What Is His Kill Count?: 49

Overall (out of five): 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

Additional Notes:

Sean MacGuire is often viewed as a symbol of the gang's luck rather than a fully developed character, though he develops relationships with Arthur (a big brother figure) and Karen Jones (his friend with benefits), and has a backstory about him and his dad in Ireland. A dead white rabbit means your luck has run out, and Sean and Jack found one in camp just before the aforementioned's "death". His "death" was when the gang was out of luck, and everything went downhill after he "died". As Freakouthill from YouTube put it, he was "the clover, the good luck charm, because he's Irish and a charming man."

Additionally, he would fit in with an Irish version of Greek Mythology's Charities since he is a personification of grace and beauty, joy and mirth, festivity, dance and song, play and amusement, and other pleasures of life. His natural charm and ability to lift spirits aligns with their role, as well as his love for storytelling and entertainment, his youth and vitality, his vibrant personality, and his ability to ease tensions with humor. Furthermore, they are both strongly associated with spring foliage, as his presence signifies renewal, hope, and the return of liveliness, much like spring's colors after the depressing winter.

In Tuatha Dé Danann, he can be compared to Brigid, as they share the same role of being patrons of poetry, inspiration, and storytelling, and also of healing, springtime, and new beginnings. Furthermore, they are both associated with morning dew, which is known for druids rolling through the grass with it and collecting it, and he symbolizes it by cleansing and purifying the gang members' negative moods. He also has similarities to Lugh, as they both are associated with light and youthful vigor, and are both charismatic, skilled, and persuasive fighters who ride on horseback. This is why many Sean fans bask in the sun.

For a more practical approach, as @fangbangzz stated: "I remember that he was my favorite pal in the game period. He was always upbeat and didn't care if he was annoying, and in fact, he would lean into it. He's the kind of guy to disarm someone with a smile and was also a sureshot with a gun. Always the life of the party and a happy drunk! He is more of an Irishman in a Western than he is a cowpoke; however, he lives the renegade life, and it suits his free spirit. If he was indeed human in the game rather than a human-sized leprechaun, he'll totally reincarnate into one after death. May he be happy in Leprechaun Land."

Leprechauns are fairies, and so I've built him a fairy house and left him an offering of honey, and I encourage people who wish to work with him to do the same as I'd encourage them to leave offerings inside of fairy rings — the fae love admirers and value reciprocity, meaning that they may give good karma in return. Research the etiquette before approaching. Also, given his youthful energy, impulsiveness, humor, and ability to bring laughter and rejuvenation, he could potentially be helpful in aspects of inner child work that involves rediscovering joy, spontaneity, wonder, and a sense of play and freedom.

If a beginner PCCW witch were to ask me which clown they should work with first, I would direct them towards him. He would be a fun and inspiring figure for a beginner clown witch, particularly in encouraging them to embrace humor, playfulness, and improvisation. However, when working with him, don't expect perfectly executed spells or predictable outcomes, think more along the lines of mischievous pranks and sudden bursts of good luck — or spectacularly bad luck for your foes! Other types of witches that suit him include: Celtic witches, witches who are more on the wholesome side, and cottagecore witches.

And with that, I leave these pieces of information here so you can do what you want with them: either work with his energy or not. The choice is yours.

[yogurrrttt]

i love the headcanon that the reason sean talks about his da so much is so he doesn't forget him

he was on the run with darragh since he was young as well, so i wouldn't be surprised if sean started to get upset with himself if he forgot certain parts of the stories he was telling the gang, or wasn't exactly quite sure what memories happened where and how old he was when it happened. he wants to remember every little thing about his da, no matter how small or minuscule others may view these small details as, since to sean, they're more important than anything else in the world

while it might be played off as just some sort of joke in the game or something along those lines, i like to think that it's more complicated than that

magical and spiritual uses:

historically, morning dew has been collected and used as a skin tonic and as an ingredient for love spells. the idea is that it carries the freshness and purity of the dawn. however, modern environments often contain pollutants. if you absolutely insist on trying this, only collect dew from pristine, remote areas you are absolutely certain are free of pesticides, herbicides, and industrial pollution. even then, test a tiny area first.

you can also use it to cleanse and bless objects, such as your home, a piece of jewelry, a creative project, crystals, ritual tools, or even your hands before performing a spell. It's seen as a gentle yet powerful way to purify. and as a purifier, some traditions use it in healing rituals, believing that it can absorb and carry away illness, so you could gently dab dew on an affected area as long as the dew is clean.

as previously discussed on my blog, dew is associated with new beginnings. it can be used in rituals aimed at promoting growth and abundance in all areas of life. for dream work, place a small bowl of it near your bed to encourage prophetic or insightful dreams. simply collecting and appreciating the dew can be a meditative act, helping you connect with the natural world and its cycles.

practical uses:

dew is naturally distilled water, so it's excellent for watering delicate plants, especially seedlings or those sensitive to tap water. dew can also be used as the base for making flower essences because dew captures the energetic properties of the flower. it's also an excellent source of photography because of its beautiful aesthetic.

hopefully the op doesn't mind me adding this

how do you collect dew?

very, very patiently. since i’ve been getting this question a lot, i’m just going to make a post about it.

it’s not as easy as collecting rainwater, because it requires a lot more work than leaving a bowl out during a storm. first off, start with a jar or something with a wide brim, much wider than the one i used in the picture above. that way you have a lot of room to catch it, and it’ll be less likely to just roll down the outside edges. 

dew is easiest to collect from when it’s about to fall off (like the flower in the first picture) or when it puddles on the leaves (like in the fourth picture). however, those adorable, tiny balled up droplets, like on the leaves in the second picture, are usually nigh-impossible to actually get in the jar. 

Most of it I get from where it pools on leaves (hydrangea are very good for this). Put the tip of the leaf into the jar, and then tilt the leaf down, be careful not to disturb it, dew falls very easily. If you work from the top of the plant, the lower leaves catch a lot of the dew you drop or shake loose.

a little bit of science here: since water is what we call a “sticky” molecule, if you wet the inside of the jar and keep the outside dry, it’s more likely to go inside the jar. 

preservation of dew water:

i have not preserved any of my dew/rainwater, but i have added a few drops of bleach to my puddle and pondwater, because, ameobas, algae, fish pee, etc.

chemically, dew/rain is just water and trace atmospheric elements/pollution (so I’d say do not drink in large amounts regardless, but especially if you live in a pollution-heavy area, make sure to test the acidity of your rain before touching/handling it.) otherwise, they shouldn’t go bad, in theory. if you’re still worried about your dew not keeping/growing bacterial shit, filter it, maybe add a couple drops of diluted bleach (if you add bleach, do not drink your dew, for your safety concerns).

store in a dry, cool place, preferably out of direct sunlight, etc. fridge, freezer are okay too, if you really want to

that seems about it, if you have any more questions, lemme know. have fun collecting!

I have no idea if Sean ever mentions his ma, but she could've very well been from Donegal as well, then his father from Dublin, but I don't know if he ever mentions her or if something happened to her

Sorry I responded so late 😭🙏 ily

I agree!! We really don't know enough about Sean, and to me he seems like he doesn't talk about heavy topics - perhaps to avoid being vulnerable

When characters are mean or outright aggressive towards him, Sean is very quick to respond light-heartedly and appear unbothered. Probably yes, he knows its banter, but even when the words seem like they are more of an attack, he makes it obvious too looks though he isn't affected

In comparison to other characters, too, his rare moments of vulnerability like when he speaks of his past, he still laughs, and is actively fighting against that defense system he uses to try and open up.

So I imagine he probably didn't have a good relationship with his mother, or even have a mother he knew to bring it up and risk looking weak in his eyes. Or perhaps since he father was on the run, you can imagine he wasn't one to have much time for romance, so had a story similar to that of Arthur and Eliza, in which he would only see her briefly before she died. (In this case Arthur had the child with him??)

I wish R* gave hs more info now😔

THANKS FOR TALKING TO ME!! I hope this made sense ❤❤❤
