I was scrolling through the abigail x reader tags and saw that your requests are open for short hcs! I've been reading your works for a few weeks now and love how you interpret and write Abigail. There's a shortage of Abigail FICS and you're filling that hole so beautifully!
Could you write hc's for an abnormally tall fem/gn reader? Like around 6'4" or whatever that is in metric system? (unfortunately, I'm from the land of "freedom")
Like how Abigail would react or like think of when she first met reader? I'd imagine it would be a bit of a surprise to see someone so tall, especially if they're fem.
Anyways, thank you for your time!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Taking the time like that makes writing just that much more meaningful.
I admit I struggled with this one because I didn’t know how you wanted this female reader to present. I didn’t know how feminine vs gender neutral vs masculine in energy she was - all that are valid, but can vary a bit on how society or the female reader would want to be treated. Does that make sense?
*Honestly, I think Abigail would try to treat her like any other person. She knows what it’s like to feel excluded and under the microscope - not to the extent that f!reader would be with her height, but in her own small way with being a former sex worker and the way she’s treated by the gang.
*Now, that’s not to say she wouldn’t be impressed! I see her having to stop herself from whistling, as in “Whistle Wow!” type of thing. Luckily, no one is making basketball jokes because while the sport was invented in 1891, women weren’t playing the sport.
* Abigail is actually tall herself for a woman - at least, in rdr 2. Rdr 1 shows her as pretty short, but that’s because of different performance actresses. Rdr 2 Abigail appears to be about 5’8 - 5’9 - by my eyes. She never appears that much shorter than John, imo.
*Abigail may find it amusing to see how some of the less secure gang members get jealous of her height, BUT the minute someone tries to harass the reader, she’s ready to tear them a new one.
* She bets that finding clothing might be frustrating if the reader prefers dresses, so she’d be willing to help find flattering fabric to make a decent dress. (Abigail is a very skilled sewer.) If the reader prefers to wear more masculine clothing, Abigail would still be happy to help. She may not have any money to spend on clothing, but she knows what looks flattering.
* She’s always encouraging the reader to eat. She knows that being taller means needing more calories so she’s always trying to either pawn off some of her stew, find apples or other fruit, or any other provisions she can find. If Abigail and the reader move in together somewhere, you bet Abigail is budgeting to make sure the reader has more to eat!
* She’ll definitely steal reader’s jackets. If the reader isn’t cold, Abigail wears it like a housecoat over her nightclothes.
* Jack loves for the reader to pick him up and swing him around or to ride on her shoulders.
* Abigail is tall and rarely needs help reaching for things or carrying things, but she will definitely look for the reader and have a sheepish smile when asking for help.
* The reader likely rides a larger horse. Abigail loves riding with the reader as it keeps her horse calm, but she also loves riding on the same horse as the reader…..even though it is more difficult for her.
