#reference for Jay

[mrheymister]

In a distant future once I finish my Isaac fic I've had an idea rolling around in my head for a modern AU/Time travel Arthur x oc or reader (not too sure, I've never written x reader but it seems fun!)

Basically, time wormholes popping up and closing are a documented phenomenon, usually occurring during intense electrical storms. People unfortunate enough to get caught in one find themselves whisked decades, centuries, even millenia into the future or the past. Sucks for you if you get teleported back into the stone age ig.

While not a terribly common occurrence in our modern era, you still get one or two people any given year popping up out of time. Because of technical limitations and lack of complete understanding about the wormhole phenomenon, we can't just send them back, so it becomes necessary to form a small government-funded organization to both study the phenomenon and its effects on those displaced by it, as well as "rehabilitating" and integrating displaced people into our society.

The year is 2019. A critically acclaimed docu-drama series about the last of the American outlaws (feat van Der Lind gang) has just finished airing the year prior, and people are still raving. Fans love to speculate about the fate of Arthur Morgan, who, by all accounts, simply vanished in the fall of 1899, some few weeks before the Van Der Lind gang fell apart.

An unconsious, half-dead man and his horse are found in the middle of some Carolina mountains after a severe thunderstorm. Due to the man's condition (advanced TB,) the horse's tack, his clothes, and the contents of his bag (among which is a journal with entires dating to 1899) it is assumed they are yet another of the unfortunately temporally displaced (we rarely get to document animals coming through, how lucky!), so he and the horse are taken to a dedicated facility.

There he spends several weeks unconscious as he is treated, and speculation spreads like wildfire among the agency about the long lost Arthur Morgan. Unfortunately for everyone involved, they must keep quiet.

Since the government can't go executing someone who's already supposed to be long dead, it is decided that the man will be integrated into society like all the rest of the displaced.

Enter CHARACTER, who is like the only person on the planet who hasn't watched the stupid cowboy show. Since CHARACTER is the only one in the agency who is "unbiased" in regards to this man, they are assigned to his case. Their job is first, to break the news to this guy that he has found himself 120 years in the future, and the world and everyone he knew as he knew them is gone. (At least his horse came with him!) Obviously, the man is aggrieved and angry and confused, ESPECIALLY once he discovers that his life story is the subject of a famous piece of media that he barely understands (moving pictures? In color??) so they gotta work thru that too.

CHARACTER'S second job is to acclimate the man to his new environment. Catch him up on what he missed, help him learn his way around the new technology, teach him how to drive a car (lol can you IMAGINE,) get him a job, ect, with the end goal of him becoming an independent and functional member of society.

And somewhere along the way, these two come to care about each other as more than just case worker/casee, and that comes with its own set of problems.

Idk I guess I'm just writing this all down as a future reference to myself, and to see if anyone else finds this interesting/exciting. If I make an OC it'd probably be a dude, but if I tried the reader route it'd have to be a fem!reader.

Thoughts?

Edit oh shit I forgot for a second that COVID was a thing that happened in 2019... yikes.

IT’S DONE!!! WAHOO! YIPPEE!

I’m not going to list off EVERY change and minute detail I added here because it’s currently 1AM, but here’s a handful of fun things that I can remember off the top of my head: I changed Jay, Brian, and Seth’s eye colors to be more accurate, cut Brian’s hair for the 2006, 2012, and comic refs, gave Seth a second crutch, gave Jay and Tim some scars (Tim’s being a bit more depressing in origin than Jay’s), and I made post MH Tim have some gray hairs because there’s NO WAY that man doesn’t have the world’s worst anxiety disorder in the present day… also he has Jay’s hoodie tied around his waist because I thought it would be sad and I was right :)))
