❥ Pairing: Arthur Morgan x F!Showgirl Reader
❥ Ouroboros: (WIP)
Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang arrive in Saint Denis in search of Jack and their next big score.
Arthur begins a fraught, transactional arrangement with you, a greedy showgirl who works the vaudeville circuit at the Théâtre Râleur.
As he floats further adrift from the natural world and with the law breathing down his neck, he finds some solace in your bed. When the realities of his life begin to bleed through the curtain, you both must learn to make your peace with monstrous need.
-OR-
Arthur Morgan finds (temporary) respite.

Unforch no, anon. It was in my drafts for months and I still wasn’t totally pleased with it when I posted, it was more just to clear my drafts and stop agonising over it. I’m glad you enjoyed it though! The reader character is one of my favs
if you ever disagree with anything i say online just remember that i'm a pretentious faux intellectual and a pointless animal who should be shot every time i post
Why don’t you write OC fics? It seems like you project a character into all your x readers it’s not inclusive
Hello,
I'll answer this in good faith since I have seen this sentiment echoed both in my ask box and in fandom in general.
I'm not interested in writing, creating or depicting OCs in my writing. Part of it stems from not enjoying writing in the third person, and I don't really have OCs. I like the second person; I like having the readers act as "characters" and for them to act with agency; I like assigning them backstories and traits. We evolve as a result of our circumstances. Additionally, I try and keep the reader characters a physical blank slate aside from malleable physical qualities. What I mean by that is, they will often have scars and physical flaws--sometimes tattoos and piercings. Often, context determines a large part of the way we present ourselves, and that manifests physically.
My reader character in Ouroboros is a woman of colour and also an addict. There are real people out there who can relate to both of these things, or perhaps only one. That "excludes" a pretty large group; however, it includes an audience that may not be represented in these sorts of fics, but still, that isn't really why I write.
I write primarily for my own enjoyment, and the x reader element and the way I choose to write it are a part of that. I would probably ask that you find a fic that is wholly inclusive of all groups, particularly in the RDR2 fandom. This isn't to say that people do it on purpose, but whiteness is often the assumption with x reader character, which means that they aren't subject to things like marriage laws, racism, property laws, or legalities surrounding identity. (non-exhaustive list) Sometimes they'll be related to a canonically white character. That excludes a pretty large proportion of people, including myself. So this isn't to say that those fics shouldn't get written. I've enjoyed many fics that involve being married to a white character or being in a place that would only be open to white people at that time--I've even suspended disbelief and written it into my own fics. While I think this sentiment is a flawed one and don't think it should be applied to any fic, I do wonder why it's being applied here.
I really don't want to come across as confrontational; it's more an explanation of my thought process, and I would love to have more of a conversation about it.
