Modern!Arthur Morgan ˚ ۪ ୨୧⊹. ݁

COASTAL: a collection (blurb)

Can't stop thinking about Modern!Arthur who rents out a coastal art studio in an old barn conversion by the sea, and wears big woolly jumpers and light wash jeans with a worn leather belt. He most definitely wears a pair of Birkenstocks with little speckles of paint and clay from his pottery work. His hair would be a little longer than his chin and he would tuck it behind his ear whilst he was working, and those cute little layered strands would fall in front of his eyes. He'd definitely wear like a little silver chain and a small bracelet that was a sentimental gift. His battered truck and his camera would be his pride and joy. He'd have a little record player with a shelf full of vinyls but the favourites would be displayed on a little shelf with plants and a nice candle (Fleetwood Mac would definitely feature on that shelf). He'd have a view of the beach where he would take his little scruffy dog on walks and take photos to use for reference for his next painting, with a flask of tea in hand and his dog tucked under his arm after a long day running around the beach. He would come back to the studio and curl on the little second hand sofa he bought his rented room and dry off the little scruffy dog with a towel. He may get the odd visit now and then from some of the others in the complex of rented studios (Modern!John and Modern!Javier). He most definitely would love to have a sweet girl sewing and painting with him in the studio, his hopes are to find a girl who loves arts and crafts just as much as him to share his studio (and help with rent!)

Modern!Arthur x Gender neutral reader

This is my first time writing an imagine and writing for Arthur, so if it seems awful forgive me, I just thought it’d be fun :)

Prompt: Imagine going on a fishing date with Modern!Arthur

If you’d like more feel free to send me a request

__________________________________________

You looked at yourself nervously in the mirror trying last minute to get ready for your date when suddenly you heard a knock on your front door.

“Oh shit.” You whispered to yourself quickly walking to the door before taking a deep breath and letting it out, this was your first date in awhile. You opened the door and found Arthur twiddling his thumbs with bashful look on his face, “You look great!” Arthur said as his cheeks turned a light shade of red.

The both of you got in his pickup truck with the window down blowing through your hair and his with the radio up all the way, you loved this feeling it was like for one moment all your worries and problems were gone and you both didn’t have a care in the world.

“So, what would you like to do?” Arthur said smiling, you shrugged unable to suggest something to do. “How ‘bout we go fishing then? Don’t worry I’ll teach ya.” Arthur said.

You nodded your head secretly hoping you don’t make a fool out of yourself After a few hours passed and you both finally arrived at the lake. “Here we are, I’ll go and get the bait and fishing poles from the back.” Arthur said getting out of the car.

“Why do you have fishing poles in the back of your truck?” You said curiously raising a eyebrow, Arthur laughed knowing it seems a bit odd that he does “Well.. You never know when you’re gonna need em.” He replied scratching the back of his neck.

The two of you walked alongside the lake before you both found a nice fishing spot, ”This will do just fine.” He said looking at the fishing flopping in and out of the water. You handed him the fishing pole and he hooked the bait up to it, “There ya go, now go and swing the fishing pole and I’ll be there to help you in a few minutes.” Arthur said pointing over at a rock close to the lake.

Walking over to the lake you decided to give a swing a try and to your surprise you actually did really good, “Nice one!” Arthur cheered, You held onto the handle waiting for something to bite. The sun was slowly setting and the fish began coming out of nowhere.

You felt a bite and began to quickly reel in the fish, “Arthur! I got a bite!” You proudly shouted struggling a little to reel it completely in. Arthur wrapped his arms around you and helped you reel in the monstrous fish, after what seemed like hours of reeling it in you caught yourself a enormous catfish.

“I’ve gotta say.. in all my years of fishing I never thought I’d see someone’s first fish be a that huge, good job!” Arthur said smiling while he patted your shoulder. “I couldn’t have done it without you!” You smiled proudly looking at your big catch. You both walked back to the truck and headed on your way back to town.

“Hey.. I think you forgot something when we were back at the lake.” Arthur said driving a bit slow, “Oh no! Really, What was it?” You said a bit worried hoping that it wasn’t the fishing pole.

Arthur stopped the car and leaned in to kiss you on your cheek, “Just that, congratulations on the big catch again.” Arthur blushed and continued driving.

I feel like modern!arthur would be such a good driver. He'd have one of those fancy pick up trucks, or an SUV, a big car fit to roam the country lands he lives in. I can just picture him driving, one hand on the wheel and the other on your thigh as he takes you out for dinner or just for a ride at sunset 😭

COASTAL: John's interference ˚ ۪ ⊹. ݁

warnings: Modern!Arthur Morgan, swearing, John and Arthur brother behaviour

"John for the last damn time, ya ain't signing me up for that tinder bullshit," Arthur exclaimed with pure frustration as he sat at his cluttered workbench in the sunlit studio whilst John lounged lazily on the sofa, "Or any of those damn internet dating things actually."

"I already signed you up for one, Arthur." John stated nonchalantly, as if it was the most ordinary thing to sign your unbearably single, crippling alone friend up for a dating sight.

"John!" Arthur scolded as he set down his paint brush and pushed his mug he was painting to the side. "You damn fool, ain't more than 20 women in this town and half are old enough to be my damn mother!"

"...'s fine, maybe the older women will want a strapping younger man, Morgan." John teased with a smirk as he shifted to lounge on the sofa beneath the window overlooking the seafront.

"I decorate their houses, John...I can't have my customers finding me on tinder, Jesus Christ." Arthur grumbled as he ran a callous hand over his handsome, scarred face.

His watercolour eyes were scrunched shut and he sighed deeply.

"You want to see how many matches you have?" John asked with a cheeky grin which earned him an unimpressed scowl from Arthur.

"No I do not," He replied harshly before huffing and turning back to painting the little pattern onto the mug, "You know you're a pain in my ass, Marston."

John rolled his eyes and sprawled out on the sofa, his shirt was stained with paint from his own work in the next room. Him and his wife, Abigail, rented the room next door for their painting and pottery. They often bought their son, Jack, too and it was obvious that they most definitely bought him this morning by the state of John's shirt. Abigail had taken little Jack home and left John to terrorise Arthur.

"Was anyone interested?" Arthur mumbled almost sheepishly, he was a man who lacked confidence yet he craved the love of another and was secretly hoping there was someone in this quiet, rural seaside town who was willing to love him.

"I knew it!" John exclaimed as he sat up, nearly spilling his coffee over his stained jeans and the paint speckled flooring, "You want to know who's after you?"

"Ah...nevermind," He grumbled as he felt the heat rise in his cheeks, "Just wanted to know if I needed to be worried that people might've found it, 's all."

John chucked and rolled his eyes before glancing over at him again and just smiling. He loved Arthur like a brother and just wanted him to be content and loved, he knew how much he craved it but knew how much of a prideful man he was.

Cain, Arthur's daft golden labrador came trotting into the studio and straight to Arthur. "Hey boy, what you doing?" He said softly to the dog as he reached his hand out for pet the dog as he rested his paws on Arthur's thigh.

He ruffled the dog's fur and mumbled, "See I got you, boy...don't need tinder, or a girl or dates, I've got my boy." as if to reinforce the fact he was trying to be nonchalant about the fact he was hoping for a girl to wander into the studio and show him all the love in the world. It felt like a foolish dream, one that may or not be fulfilled sooner or later...

‿︵‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿︵‿

a/n: I could so imagine John insisting that Arthur has a hinge and tinder profile and would 100% try to set him up all the time, this is just a little snippet of the fic. Working on bits and pieces for this but got lots planned!

COASTAL: a collection ˚ ۪ ⊹. ݁

pairing: Modern!Arthur x F!Reader

summary: Arthur's rent on his coastal art studio increases, much to his dismay. His job decorating houses in the small seaside town didn't exactly pay much, so John came up with an idea. Most people in the studio shared the rent with someone else, except for Arthur.

He liked having her around. He liked the way she hummed along to every song he played, he liked how she always made him a mug of tea just how he liked it, he liked how she would sway gently and get him to dance with her. He particularly liked her smile and how she could make his heart sing by being around him. He simply liked her.
