Thank you @photo1030 and @eternalsams for the tag! This is from chapter 30 of The Tie Which Linked My Soul To Thee...man I haven't worked on this in months, it almost feels nostalgic :")
Kate ran her fingertip over a bright red burst of sumac berries, their vivid color almost glowing against the muted whites and greens of the snow-covered landscape. Below her, Lorena stretched her neck upward and snatched a bundle of the fruit with a quick, jerking motion. The movement startled the cardinals and robins, taking off into the sky in a stroke of blood orange flurry. Kate could hear the faint popping noise as the small crimson seeds were crushed by the mare’s strong jaw, releasing a cocktail of tart sweetness that seemed to hang in the crisp air.
A flicker of memory danced in Kate's eyes, a silent reunion with a long-lost past.
She was suddenly back in Massachusetts, during the dry New England winters, when snow blanketed the earth and muted the outside world. Yet even then, bursts of life persisted, dotting the wooden paths they used for travel—flashes of color and resilience against the stark, icy backdrop. Much like now, in the eastern Grizzlies. The contrast of verdant pine boughs and blazing berries was a striking display of nature’s endurance, a defiant beauty in a harsh season. 
Kate had half a mind to grab a handful of the berries and stow them away in her satchel. She thought of White Dove, the healer, and how she might use these berries for their anti-inflammatory properties in her tinctures and salves.
Ahead of her, Arthur and Rains Fall rode side by side, their horses plowing a path through the fresh snow as the trio ascended the mountainside. The crunch of hooves breaking the frozen crust echoed softly, the sound swallowed by the vastness of the wilderness. The world beyond was muted, swallowed by the blanket of snow. As if everything had gone still and quiet. Even the animals dare not leave their burrows.
It had been two weeks since they arrived, and their time at the Wapiti reservation was drawing to a close, a fact that weighed heavily on all of them. Arthur, in particular, seemed burdened by the fleeting days. Kate had noticed how he’d been trying to repay their kindness in every way he could. Whether it was a genuine attempt to redeem himself for his sins or to show her he was changing—perhaps both—she couldn’t say. But his efforts were unmistakable.
Rains Fall had asked them to accompany him today to a sacred site. “A place for reflection and healing,” the old chief had explained in his quiet, measured tone. And that was all he shared before mounting his horse and leading the way. Kate and Arthur hadn’t needed more of an explanation. They quickly mounted their own mares and followed.

Thank you so much, my sweethearts @arthurmorganist and @stottlemorgan for the tag!! Here, a little snippet from the first chapter of Soluble Love (or will I call it One Coffee, Black? Still not sure; but I'm finally writing it after all that time spent yapping about it!)
Once his face is shaven and clean, he dresses without paying attention, slipping on a pair of jeans, a black T-shirt, and his eternal leather jacket; pockets filled with crushed cigarettes, keys of various origins, forgotten notes. He adds his badge to his belt, like a soldier carries his banner before going into battle. Like a condemned man holds the axe over his own head. But maybe, just on some days, also like the crown of a man's pride.
His service weapon is waiting for him on the kitchen table, almost as loyal as Copper. The good boy is up by the door, all excited, thinking he's going on a walk with him, like every morning. And like every morning, Arthur takes a few minutes of his time to pat him and coo at him, the old German shepherd collapsing heavily on the ground with a blissful happiness, showing his belly for him to caress.
"That's my good boah!" Both of his hands scratch him vigorously. "You're almost as old as me now, ain'tcha? Two old basterds we are." There's a barely hidden affection in his smile and eyes as he strokes his companion.
A few last licks from him on his calloused hands, and Arthur gets up, grunting, more from frustration than actual effort. The dog squeaks in disappointment.
He closes his door, taking his gun and leaving Copper behind.
tagging some more beauties (no pressure!!!): @eternalsams, @zae-heeyyy, @photo1030, @twola, and double tagging @cassietrn and @redwritr just cause I love you girlz 🫶

Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here tearing up while thinking about Arthur singing this song to his baby daughter :')
This song will definitely be incorporated in my fic...
"I'll Be Here In The Morning" There's no stronger wind than the one that blows Down a lonesome railroad line No prettier sight than looking back On a town you left behind There is nothin' that's as real As a love that's in my mind Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while There's lots of things along the road I'd surely like to see I'd like to lean into the wind And tell myself I'm free But your softest whisper's louder Than the highways call to me Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while
All the mountains and the rivers And the valleys can't compare To your blue lit dancin' eyes And yellow shining hair I could never hit the open road And leave you layin' there
Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while
Lay your head back easy, love Close your cryin' eyes I'll be layin' here beside you When the sun comes on the rise I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails And the lonesome bluejay cries.
Close your eyes I'll be here in the morning Close your eyes I'll be here for a while
youtube
The song is by Townes Van Zandt, but Tamino's version sounds like a lullaby :')

Hellooo, I know you're having a hard time, but I wanted to know how you were feeling 😔?
I hope you are not dealing with many problems or that they are being fixed, in short, I hope you get better soon and take care of yourself 😭😭😭
hey anon!
I am doing well! Thank you for asking. I am feeling much better than I did when I took a break a few months ago. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix for depression and loss of motivation. I think the fact that I have the urge and itch to start writing again is a good sign. I'm just struggling with putting the words on paper in a creative manner. Life would be so much easier if the scenes in my head just appeared on screen lol.
I have been working on Dark Tide again, so far I've written 4k words of ch 10. It's a slow start, but I'm taking my time with it!
I hope you are taking care of yourself too, I really appreciate you checking in <3

Currently reading “Into the Drowning Deep” and I think this might be the motivation I need to get back into writing “The Dark Tide”. It’s so eerie and packed with so much marine life and science and oceanic imagery and I’m lovinggg it. Not to mention it’s literally a horror story about man eating mermaids, hell yeah. This is exactly the vibe I was going for with my siren!Arthur fic (minus the monster smut part lol)
Also, I thought it would be funny to mention this. I went snorkeling in Bermuda last week and the entire time I was thinking about my siren!Arthur fic. However, I was deeply terrified of the water. We got to explore shipwrecks and coral reefs and almost as soon as I swam underwater and saw the wreckage and all the fish I immediately got back on the boat. It made me realize that as much as I love sea boy Arthur, I could not survive in that fic T—T
Tumblr media
But just look at that water tho 💙🧜‍♂️

Ohh my goodness I didn’t know you had a tumblr account :0 (I was literally scrolling through rdr2 tags and I saw dark tide was on here)
Heya!! It’s Meep from AO3! You can tell cuz I’m so creative with my alike usernames XD it’s so cool to see you on here and your work too! And I hope you’re having a great break, I hope you’re having fun and nothing stressful is happening— I wish only good things for ya! Have a great day!
Meep!! It’s nice to hear from you!! I truly miss reading all your comments and gushing over Arthur together on ao3.
I’m doing well! I think it was for the best to take a break from writing for a bit, but I’m truly hoping to get back into it soon. Even if it takes a little while to produce a new chapter. I miss you all so much!!
I’m so glad you found me on tumblr! 🥰

hi there! I just wanted to say how much I LOVE The Tie Which Linked My Soul To Thee! The way you write arthur is SO good and the way you've incorporated kate into the story makes me wish she was a real character in the game!! I could gush over your story all day!!! (according to ao3 I've visited it 200+ times lol) ive read your posts that say youve been feeling down lately so i hope you're doing well! 🩷
Oh my gosh thank you 🥹
This was the loveliest thing to see while checking up on my blog. It’s surreal to me that people still read The Tie!!! (Let alone visit it 200+ times omg!!)
I’ve been doing well! I’m coming back to this blog more and more frequently, I haven’t really been posting or interacting much but I’m lurking lol. I’m hoping to start re-reading some of my work to catch myself up. I want to start writing again, even if it’s just a few words a day. I still think about Kate and Arthur all the time. The playlist I made for them on Spotify is still my favorite 😅
I’m so grateful for all the love and well wishes. This community has such a special place in my heart 🥰❤️

finding out both my Arthur Morgan fanfics on Ao3 were stolen to train AI was not on my 2025 bingo card.

I need someone to teach me how to fall back in love with things like red dead redemption and even arthur morgan. because for the longest time it was a wonderful distraction, and he was the sweetest escape from real life. I miss writing about it, I miss reading others fanfics and gushing over art and yapping about characters. I still love the game but it feels like I can’t truly enjoy things anymore or immerse myself in them like I used to. because real life keeps bleeding into the cracks and everything is such a fucking mess right now I don’t know how to escape it anymore. I can’t tell if things are truly getting better or if I’m just going numb.
I miss it so fucking much I feel like there’s something wrong with me.

I got to see my favorite artist Tamino perform live last night. It was truly an unforgettable experience, his voice and his talent knows no bounds. I never imagined someone could take my breath away with each song and yet here I am, still in awe🤍

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to post a little update and apologize for being MIA lately. I've been taking a short break from social media for my own mental health. I struggle with bipolar disorder and pmdd, and unfortunately the past couple weeks have been severely hard. I don't talk about myself much on here, I hate confronting my mental health (and talking about it). But I know everyone has been anticipating the next chapter of Dark Tide and as much as I want to work on it and talk about it I find that I can't right now. I'm immensely grateful for each and every one of you who read/interact with me here. And I promise it's not getting abandoned! I know that creative spark of passion will return to me eventually, my whole life has been a series of highs and lows and despite medication its something that I've learned to roll with.
I hope to be posting again soon, but until then thank you again for all the love and feedback! ♡

Arthur has left too many marks on the reader, don't you think it's time for her to be the one to mark him? 👀👀
I like the way you think anon, very kinky 👀
I'm inclined to agree, although, Arthur's healing ability would make it a little hard. But I think if reader did bite him, he would be over the moon about it. Probably even a tad amused that she thinks those soft blunt teeth could break his tough skin. Arthur likes to be the dominant one, so he'd probably tell her to bite him while they're in the act. Maybe on his shoulder, or his lip, or his neck.....just don't bite down on the gills. Poor guy would probably pass out XD

I just wanted to tell you that I love your story of mermaid Arthur, without a doubt you capture all the emotions of every scene
Chapter nine was too hot, you know
It would be great if the protagonist took advantage of that new knowledge she gained from Arthur (each sex can climax independently)
Leaving aside the hot, I imagine Arthur carefully keeping the shell that he was given, IT'S TOO NICE TO THINK THAT I KICK LIKE A TEENAGER IN LOVELeaving aside the hot, I imagine Arthur carefully keeping the shell that was given to him, IT'S TOO NICE TO THINK THAT HE KICK LIKE A TEENAGER IN LOVE UNDER THE SEA 😭❤️‍🔥💥
Aww thank you anon! Comments like this really make my day, its definitely a challenge to accurately portray Arthur Morgan in a setting like this. But I enjoy exploring their dynamics! ❤️‍🔥
Reader will certainly store that knowledge away for future reference, I mean....she's a scientist of course. Makes her wonder how many climaxes one can take... ;)
Arthur is 10000% a lovesick teenager. I try to balance the line between innocent fascination and all consuming lust. The reader is his first love after all, and his first mate. Everything about their relationship is new to him, which makes them a really tender/emotional pairing. Let's hope one of them doesn't break the others heart...

Hiiiii!
I love your fic with siren!Arthur. It’s easily become one of my favorites. I can’t wait for the next update :D
While we wait, I wanted to get your opinion on how Arthur would react if the reader bringing him one of those ‘Wish Pearl’ necklace kits you’d see online.
Tumblr media
Would he think its silly because he’s seen real pearls or find it endearing?
Thank you!!!! Can’t wait for the update :D
Hiii!!💕
Thank you so much for reading!! I’m honored it’s become one of your favorites, it’s definitely got a very special place in my heart and I adore all the love it’s getting from you guys. It’s unreal ☺️
That’s such a sweet question omg. He would probably think it’s cute but he’d also be confused like “darlin’ you know I can get’chu a real pearl, just say the word. You deserve better than this phony crap” or something like that. He’d also probably think they’re too tiny, his mate deserves only the biggest and shiniest of pearls 😉
I never ended up writing this, but when I was working on that scene I was thinking about how Arthur probably opened half a dozen clams and tried to guess which ones produced the biggest pearls. Then when he chose one that was suitable he stored it away for the right moment and prayed she would like the gift inside. He was nervous as hell giving it to her though🥲
Also, I actually have two of these necklaces😅
I have the one in the picture as well as one shaped like a Bee. I was thinking of incorporating it somehow into the story because I want the reader to wear the pearl he gave her but idk how she would do that without putting it in some kind of locket.
Like this!

When can we expect the next chapter of The Dark Tide? 👀👀👀
tbh I don't have a timeline yet! I haven't worked on ch 10 since uploading ch 9, but I know what I want to write. I plan on working on it this weekend, it might be a shorter chapter (no where near 19k words lmao)
I had a whole week off from work so I've been readjusting myself back into my routine so to speak. But don't worry, our lovely sea boy isn't going anywhere ;)
