#was i the only one who lowkey hoped mingi would be at the camp?

Oh I loved this so much you actually have no idea. Reading this was a rollercoaster of emotions but I enjoyed every minute of it.

What I really love about this story is how every character is so well rounded and portrayed so realistically. Nobody is perfect and yet I can understand why each of them act the way they do and love them no matter how shitty their actions can be.

And please don’t get me started about the plot because that is just magnificent. I am never bored while reading this story. I never commented on the previous chapters, because I found this story quite late (I think it actually was during your hiatus after chapter 9), but it quickly became one of my faves so let me just tell you I read this whole thing in one sitting. I was that HOOKED.

The plot is so interesting and you honestly write so well that I believe you could turn the most basic trope/plot into the most captivating read. I also really love how you show how the characters feel in the most crucial moments - especially with Woo I feel you do such a good job. That boy hides so much of his feelings but they always come through. Gosh I hope he’s gonna be fine. Would write more in detail about all of them because all of them are so well written but this chapter just got me feeling for Woo. I just love him so much and I hate to see him (all of them really!) suffer :(( but actually I love all of them equally it’s impossible not to.

Anyway enough of my nonsensical rambling- thank you for writing such a good chapter and I’m looking forward to the next one (whenever that will be, take your time if you need to I will be waiting) <3.

You did indeed scratch an itch with your Micah fic 😳 wasn't expecting a dark rdr fic with him but now I can't get it out of my head 🥵 Found your fic on ao3 and giiirl was it amazing !! I really hope you'll bless us with another chapter for "Through the briar" or a lil suite 🥺💛

No pressure though, and thanks a lot for this lil diamond 💎✨️

💕💕!! Thank you omg, that is so sweet of you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who needed darkfic with him out there - because (in my opinion haha) that's just how he is in canon. A really nasty man, we don't even have to imagine him as some kind of 'dark!' au character. He is just like that... And when I replayed the game this summer it got me thinking - I am someone who falters at any show of (even only perceived) authority and become super meek - and then that thought led me to 'through the briar'. I was downright possessed by this fic and I gotta be honest - there is still so much I wanna say about reader, Micah and even Arthur in that context. A sequel isn't entirely off the table but I think I would need to replay Chapter 6 and the Epilogue first for more inspo. (And I do have another fic in the works! It has a/b/o and I would say it is a little ooc for him but the omegaverse setting kinda raises the stakes and I am still working on it, so who knows how it'll turn out! One thing I can 100% guarantee is that it has noncon and reader gets pissed on because it just fits. That is set in stone lol) But I can drop some thougts on where a sequel would go (because I have thought about it. A lot.) I put them under a readmore because they got long lol 😭😂 - it's just me rambling about 'your' future after the fic haha

I've mentioned it in a comment reply on ao3 but reader's future hinges on her getting pregnant and/or her 'snitching' on Micah. The pregnancy is probably the bigger one of these two because if she was with child I think he could turn terribly possessive down the line. Imo he'd never love you - not really - but if you are carrying his child (especially a little Micah IV, oh no) you become a part of his. Property. Simple as. It would tie you two together for life and that's something I don't wish on reader. It's not like he'd take you with him (looking at Mount Hagen and his hideout) but you'd spend your days in some mingy cabin barely scraping by, probably. With him visiting you ever so often- but if you think you can simply pack your child and make a run for it - oh goodness, do not. We've seen how he shot down Strawberry for his guns (and you're not as appreciated as them but you are his), he'd drag you back, kicking and screaming. It would be a very bleak existence for you, especially if you do end up having a son. (That'd be a really interesting part to write out, for example. Because it would be damn gritty!) Another thing that is heavily on my mind is reader's 'reputation' after 'through the briar' - while I don't think that Micah would do it again, I do think he would allude to it and lowkey jokingly threaten you with it. It would be very obvious to anyone listening in that something happened (they wouldn't know it was coerced, though). And I really think about how the women and Arthur especially would look at you afterwards, you know? Would they be disgusted? Would they worry about you, would they instinctively know that something happened? How heartbreaking it would be for them to turn their backs on you for this. And Arthur! He and reader had something special and I left it up for interpretation if reader had a crush on him or not, but they were close. And Micah tore a gigantic hole into that because either reader would tearfully confess to what happened and we'd get a big blow-out in camp with Arthur going nuclear (but ultimately, I really don't think it would change much, just make Dutch wary of you because Micah would be in his ear) or she lets it eat her and they grow apart. It's really sad, actually. In some alternative timeline Arthur never had tbc and him and reader rode off into the sunset to spend the rest of their days together after helping with Beecher's Hope (romantic or platonic, it's your pick really haha). They are both insecure little shits with a soft spot for the other but together they just. Click. You know? And then the credits roll, bam. (oh and Micah never bothers them again!!!1111 😂😂😂)

Sorry for the ramble but also thank you for enabling my scattered thoughts over here! I am so glad you enjoyed 'through the briar' and thank you again for your sweet comment. It's almost 6 am and you have me smiling like an idiot 🥰🥰🥰
