A Trojan Horse

Arthur Morgan x F! reader

Content: 18+ mdni, very low honor Arthur, angst, referenced/implied sex, canon typical events & violence - cw gen / substance abuse Type: second pov & rdr2 spoilers (wc - 1067) / pc: my PS5 a/n: wow, me uploading og written content?? crazy. this was in my drafts since summer lol, hi!

Summary: low honor Arthur navigating his skewed mental state, he could never put his guns down.

Heavy with burden, the man slouched after each strike. A sharp burn that prodded into his biceps made his knuckles turn white against the pine handle. Yet he continued against the ignited flames, sweating out the sin needed for a good night's rest. 

With a rather vicious strike, the logs would send echoing cracks across camp, his dull eyes meeting yours in between pent up visceral. 

The rings beneath them said more than any words. You hadn’t slept, and maybe he hasn’t either— God only knew that Dutch would eventually kill you all. The lucky few would leave with their lives, their permanent scars casting them out from society. But Arthur was always too much of a fool to realize. Blinded by promises and loyalty, he wasn’t sure what he owed the man anymore. 

The routine of wrath replaced the debt Arthur kept on an altar, only leaving traces of a corrupt man gone off the deep end. His sinful deeds engraved a trench over time, then eventually a six foot hole beneath his feet, there was no escape now. 

On his good days, Arthur would feed into a rare glimmer of hope he found in your eyes. 

His search for the same feeling would be fruitless, and inevitably led to you every time. The man could never control his gluttonous urge, ravishing through you and taking what his cruel years had pried away. 

Your optimistic proposal of fleeing would dance around his intoxication. The words sloshing around in his weary head, they never quite made sense against the view of your body. 

“Alright, darlin’,”

A shallow rasp would spill out and be followed by depraved hands reaching for your hips. His dismissal would temporarily appease you— he knew it would. 

Arthur’s blasphemous lust would momentarily be broken. Both your moans and prior offers of redemption digging deep into the scratches left on his back. 

Despite Arthur Morgan's decline, his skewed world rapidly moved on. The last ditch attempt of a changed man would often peek from the floorboards, but a day vowed to start with coffee would always end with whiskey.

The tinge of hope was worn on the outlaws shoulders, it was foolish to show vulnerability, the men he once called his brothers would use it against him. But maybe Arthur could still rewrite his wrongs, redeem himself in the time he had left. He just needed to leave, that’s what you always said. 

You nearly convinced him that solitude would fill the gallows of his soul, a home to embrace closure after years of running. A resentment of your words created war within, a part of him hated you for being right. He never did apologize after lashing out at you, the words were lost in the translation of his mind, which he only sank deeper into. 

The home he envisioned would manifest in the pipe dreams, created by the drugs for the pain brewing in his lungs. A home with you would eventually contort into a lone wolf on the vast prairies, still he hung onto the tenderness of your very first days together by the lake.

Maybe the window of his soul would soften with time under your presence, the cold blue dog eyes suited for killing would crack by the grace of yours, and settle into a warm sea that smiled off the sun. A more boyish look that still withheld some wonder, never to be tainted again.  

Only when your eyes fluttered shut is when his guard would lower, just enough to kiss the skin he scarred under the sheets. It wouldn’t make it go away, but help keep his guilt at bay. The dirty little sin of lust would be tucked away in a locked closet, separate from the rest. 

Arthur Morgan, a Trojan horse filled to the brim with wickedness, and you his pacifist. 

You would always be forgiving in return, accepting the trophy of a changed man; sparing him of judgement and disgust— he’d received a couple lifetimes worth already. 

But please, don’t stare for too long, he can't hide behind the half-baked smile like he can apathy. 

the walls within his temple are cracking. 

Tattered drywall would cover the insecurities and structural flaws, he wanted the walls a baby blue, but they would be painted black as sin, only to cover the hideous stains a lighter shade could not. 

You would live within these walls, protecting his inner peace while chunks of flesh and wood crumbled around you— but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed, don’t worry, he has tools and that soft smile of yours.

The lock to his temple would be neglected, and eventually the door would be left ajar. You didn’t close it on your way out, Arthur didn’t see you as a forgetful one—  

and his black walls would bleed a brief shed of grief. 

An unwanted solicitor would slip back through the open defenses he spent years building, and the devil would sell him a product he didn’t want to buy. 

That’s okay— no harm, no foul. He had to keep going, like he always does. 

But his focus would always conclude on your hands. Small and dainty wherever they touched, cuticles pure from the dried blood and countless deaths he accumulated over the years. He always appreciated them most on his chest before welcoming you into his embrace, he never did tell you that. The sickness had taken too much, blurring both the bliss and agony.  

He’d try not to focus on the way his palms encircled your back, or how your legs brushed against his lap, if he did, the walls would turn to glass. 

a soft answer turns away wrath… even if it’s just for a breath. 

Each touch you left on his body, the lips on his jaw and neck, the hushed affirmations that would give life to the tent, all would be scrubbed off by the blood of more enemies. 

gut, skin, consume, repeat, 

everyone knows a good hunter uses every part of the animal. 

An honest perspective would be regained as a violent cough rattled through Arthur’s frame, stinging his throat on the way out. 

The soft candle light flickered as a gust of wind whistled through the canvas, causing the man’s attention to fall onto your abandoned bedroll, soiled in mud by his boots. 

Tomorrow, he vowed to be a changed man. But tonight he would get lost in the bottle, the candle lit at both ends.

funniest wip i have so far 

[letgraysonsheart]

i want to write but i dont know what

[synthshenanigans]

a WIP of the recent fit that I hope I will finish later & color.

also smaller doodles i miiiiiiight do more with eventually?? v

[pervartwhoo]

what the fuck why is that one post almost to 500 notes now

[xamaxenta]

kinda lost interest in completing any of my current wips

[enlichened]

i finally finished illyana drawing.. hehehe....

[kittynugg]

i did mabel

(click for better quality) (also i redesigned dipper too)

i forgot her shadow but im too tired to go and fix it so have fun

also no i cant draw her consistently shut up/j

dipper and mabel's redesigns here are inspired by the ones cherryviolets did, please go look at them i love them dearly

reblogs are hugely appreciated instead of just liking and scrolling as i say with every damn post!!

wips and whatnot under the cut

here's the original like uhhh

thing where i was designing her

i was on the brink of smashing my pc here

unrendered

setting up the ref sheet

as you can tell i settled for just a star instead of a shooting star, it made the icon way too bulky

and i originally wanted to give her socks a pattern but i was also going for a bit of animator friendliness to be true to like a cartoon but meh whatever its easier not to do it fhdkufh it was a bitch in the original design i did

*wip amnesty refers to the process of posting an unfinished fic in order to share in without having to complete it. wip amnesty is usually done because the author believes they'll never finish it but has enough to share.

Masterlist

Okay so I don't know what exactly I should be putting here, but! This guide I'm reading about making master-lists for tumb says I can organize it however I want.

Essentially, I just wanna make it easier to fish out my writing dribbles so I might or might not add or edit this post every now and then.

currently worked on Wip:

its a piece for a writing challenge and i haven't posted any info abt it yet but here's the link to the challenge post if you want more info on it

Other works in progress:

this sci fi idea that i posted my thoughts on and currently working on and off on making it into an actual story

this is a short 2 chapter piece that i only wrote one chap from then forgot about it cuz life stuff, don't really know if i will ever complete it might actually absorb it into another story or something or make a story from it but its here if anyone's curious

this is also another story idea that i only posted one chap from it's on the back burner for now but I'm hoping to work on it more hopefully

Drabbles:

(those aren't actual works just things i wrote for one reason or another)

my first drabble chappy

my second drabble chappo inspired by the reblogged drawing from @zandrapaints (i was awestruck while doom scrolling and couldn't not write for it ><)

My third drabble chap was inspired by the reblogged drawing by @sk00pa

Guess this counts as my oldest drabble chapter so far? Cuz i probably wrote this in my pre tumbler era, I dont quite remember 🤔 it was fun to read again after all these years might come back to it later but for now a drabble it stays right here

well i guess this is it for now? i've got more works somewhere else but they aren't getting their place in this list until i fix them so that's it for actually posted stuff (probably)

This is smth I got inspired to write by a prompt I don't recall the blogs name but you'll see it if you click the link here

i'm probably gonna add more to this masterpost as i find more stuff i wrote and forgot abt but meh it's good enough for a list so far, gotta get some sleep now im sleepy ;<

DNI :•(

its not rlly. much? the only stuff i rlly care abt is jerks.. if ur a jerkkk (terf, racist, zionist, ableist, antikin, sysmed, transmed, antikink, whatever girl u git the gist....)

i don't have especially strong opinions on most discourse... slurcourse, syscourse, flagcourse, shipcourse... its kinda silly.! so um. whatever.

* (Hal writing.) Our take on pro/antiship is "It doesn't fucking matter". We aren't proship, we aren't antiship, we are just kind of shipping whatever the fuck we want. If you think it's problematic, we most likely won't care. Unless there's a genuine reason to be concerned, don't bother.

exclusionists!!!! i don't like you!!!!!!!!!!!! aphones, panphobes, biphobes, mspec gay/lesbian haters, antixenogender, anti neoprns, whatever! i do not like you at all >:•{

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Every. Single. One. Comments are the lifeblood to my work. Its so intimidating to be posting to a empty void but y'alls comments give life to the achieve and are just as important to a WIPs development as anything I write on my own!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Idk, I have ALOT of wips without endings/one shots. Probs the most angsty one I have in general is either The New Kid or Silence isn't Golden

wait wait wait, I found a dual suicide Wincest fic, that wins

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

uhhhhhhh this Thor/Bruce fic may be the fluffiest one I have haha

Yes 😈😈😈 kink wise all over the place, from super vanilla to BDSM and anything else I can think of. Peoplewise LGBTQ and queer characters, canon or fanon, polycules. Trope wise, enemies to lovers is my fav, but I also love pining or tragic love 👌

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Yes!! not too many, but I've written a few. This one isn't crazy but it is the most developed of all the wips. It's a Supernatural/The Breakfast Club crossover called Supernatural activity at shermer high

a few times by a bot, im really really hoping it doesn't happen again but with AI about to fuck us all out of work, im a lil worried.

Yes! two of my Starker fics were translated into Russian and on fic book but that website got torched a few years ago :( I think I also had a reader translate a TBC fic into Portuguese

Many! probably 20-30 at this point

its a cowritten work I worked on years ago and just, meh idk I dont really wanna go back to it haha

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've gotten compliments on my dialogue, dynamic character relationships, smut, and angst

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

proof reading and editing

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

i never trust google translate to do a good enough job so to avoid looking like a fool i dont do it. I should try though, expand my horizons. I'm learning Danish so maybe ill make a fic using that.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

all of them hold significant places in my heart. they are all pieces of me and I'm trying to learn to love all of me. And that's gotta start somewhere!

[northerngoshawk]

I'm enjoying the fanfic FMK questions, so here's one for you! Would you write, read, or delete from existence the following tags (as always, if you have a WIP for any of them, please feel free to talk about it!): Genfic, whump, crossover au?

wow, your ffwf ask is truly unique ocean. all the same... why you gotta make me choose 😭

write: probably crossover aus. it's fun when i'm the one writing them, but i honestly don't trust anyone else to do the same premise correctly 😅 im a bit of a control freak in that if it isn't the exact vision in my head i go "hm."

read: genfic! genfic, genfic, genfic my beloved. i love reading introspection and exploring other characters' relationships outside of shipping and getting into found family. UGH. so good

delete: whump. may come as a surprise to some people, since im a notorious whumper (still am, a lil bit), but honestly the lesser of the three i could (probably) live without. it's fun when whump actually has meaning, but when it's whump for the sake of whump then it's bleh >.<

as far as wips go...

write: my demon slayer x atla fic The Last Wind-Breather, which is basically the atla characters as demon slayers in the atla world. i have not touched this thing in so long (i think i was almost done with the second chapter actually). might just finish and post the second chapter and not come back to this for some time. im done with atla for a while.

read: i don't really have any gen fic wips in the works right now? i mean, i do have my fix-it video game fic that i just posted like two days ago, i labeled it as gen under the strictest description that there isn't gonna be many, if any, romantic relationships in here since the main focus is gonna be plot and character development. altho the friendships go hard ngl. eh, i'll just post this here in case anyone's interested.

delete: ugh, honestly my aang dies in a thousand timeline and lives in one fic. i mean the idea was great, but looking back on the execution... meh. i think i might've tried too hard. oh well, i'll still keep it up cuz my ideology is to never delete my fics. still tho.

thanks for the ask, ocean!

[nami-ramen]

I thought that i post it in circle on twitter(for…10 ppl…y e a h)but meh

Also im mostly done w/ wip…i just need to figure out hot to draw a damn tree for background

Also i forgor abt teeth on pitch black side fuck

[puzzlevision]

update

hello, yoko here.

so some of you may noticed that i changed my username, you can still call me as yoko but once the revamping is started, you will no longer call me by that name. i want to seperate myself from that name that made me known on the smg4 fandom.

this is a very long explanation so its under the cut, and note to people on tumblr around: it contains controversal stuffs happening on glitch productions

this change is because of the smg4 controversy that happened recently, with the main one being taris old va (celeste notley-smith) being replaced by a new one. which is okay at first because celeste is a mother and a teacher and needs to focus on other stuffs and yadda yadda, until you found out that she fired from glitch after 6 years.

6.

FUCKING

YEARS.

now picture this: you are one of the first voice actor/actress from a recently new company, only to get replaced by a new one after years of voicing a character that you dearly love. the new tari va (lottie baurne) almost sounds like her old va and thats okay, but this situation is awful. not only that, robyn (smg2s former voice actress) is stepping down from glitch because of that. she recently made a video about this controversy on her channel "anime america", so please make sure to watch it.

yeah yeah i know jasmine yang (the voice director) made an apology, but that… is just not that good. sometimes we always forget things, but her apology? this is meh. im hoping to see celestes respond about her apology so the situation will be calm once again (like it was used to be… back in the early years). im also looking forward for the lerdwichagul brothers' responds as well.

and about the other controversy, we got glassdoor ratings about employee mismanagement coming from ex-workers, thanks to the ceo… aka kevin. i dont understand why kevin was hated by everyone back then, but it turns out that they are right. kevin is a completely different person with cameras OFF. that one scene from the episode "smg4… are you okay?" where smg4 tortures toads into manipulation by making videos for his channel became more obvious with this one. the good side is we havent heard about luke (smg4) yet.

on the other hand, i will probably start a career as a utau producer once i have speakers for my pc, dowloaded utau, and practiced how to use that software (hence the "prod" on my url). there is a chance that kikyuune aiko will be my main. smg4 stuffs will still be around, however you will see less smg4 stuffs here due to the controversy and the fact that this is a multifandom account aside from my likes. buuuuut that does not mean ill stop working on pandemic love distortion. (for those who didnt know about this one, its a wip smg34 fanfic made by me that was put on developmental hiatus due to irl stuff)

and for those who havent heard of it already, i will permanently post all my future arts to @blueberry-arts, but previous arts from my main will still be here and remain. so if you want new arts from mine go to my other account pls 🙏

soooooo i guess that will be all. thank you for reading.

signed, yoko. 🫐
