Summary
:::::::::::::::
Arthur tells Charles he's dying. Charles proves him wrong. HEA.
Somewhere between Explicit and Mature as always.
:::::::::::::::
“I’m not saying you ain’t sick. But that doesn’t mean you’re contagious and it certainly doesn’t mean you’re dying. If there was something to catch, I would have caught it by now.”
“Charles—”
“You’re not dying, Arthur. You’re not.” He says each word short and slow, and absolutely certain. “You- are- not.” Speaks them into Arthur’s eyes. Into the universe. Like he can will them into being. And who’s to say he can’t? A woman in his mother’s tribe could make it rain.
“Okay,” Arthur says, smiling. “Okay.”
“You’ll get a second opinion?”
“Yes.” A brush of Arthur’s lips on Charles’ knuckles and the meeting of eyes. “Yes, I will. For you, I will.” -

Summary
:::::::::::::::::::::
Arthur Morgan ain't got long to live. He just wants to feel alive. If that means drinking and fucking and brawling, so be it.
Or. It could mean falling in love.
:::::::::::::::::::::
“Ain’t nothing like your heart pounding to remind you that it’s still in there, still beating.”
Charles tucks a stray strand of his hair behind his ear and sits forward, leaning in towards Arthur, so close, so fucking painfully close, that Arthur can smell the citrussy scent of his soap.
“Your heart is beating right now.”
Charles covers it with his hand, fingers fluttering on Arthur’s chest, warm on his skin. Tugging gently at invisible strings. He takes Arthur’s hand, places it inside his, rests them above Arthur’s idiot heart.
“It’s beating and you ain’t doing anything stupid.”
I’m thinking about kissing you, Arthur thinks. “Yeah. Guess,” he says instead.
Charles’ brow furrows, and Arthur tugs his hand loose, heart hammering.
“Why’s it beating so damn fast?”
“Charles,” Arthur breathes in apology, as understanding dawns on Charles’ face.::::::::::::::::::::

Summary
In the moment, there's no room for reason or sense - not for John Marston. Too often does he live in the moment and now, after a year of running, he returns to face his reality - to face Arthur Morgan and what he expects to be his own death in punishment for leaving the only family that's ever given a damn about him. Adrenaline runs high when his return is met with unexpected welcome from all but the one he needs it from: Arthur.

There is no watershed moment, no breaking of the floodgates like when he first returned. Word spreads that John accepted Jack as his son and, by extension, Abigail as his woman and no one much fusses about it. She gives him a dubious look at the announcement, but offers a grateful hug – a visual reunion of two non-lovers all but trapped in their roles.
"You're a damn fool, John Marston," she breathes into his ear, fingers gripped tight at his shoulders.
"Don't I know it," he says, rueful and self-deprecating. And yet it is truth, openly admitted, because who else would go to the things he has for the sake of maybe getting through to Arthur 'Thick-Headed' Morgan.

Summary
Charles leaves a beautiful gift for Arthur. Determined, Arthur returns the gesture, and the two keep leaving gifts while Arthur sorts through his feelings.
--
:Excerpt:
Arthur puts the empty cup out of the way, and picks up an arrow.
The wood is handmade with precision, adorned in feathers of red and blue, speckled with an attractive brown, tickling the palm they lay in, soft and clean. How..?
This must be some mistake…not a single one of his belongings are of this quality.
Arthur glances outside, most people mingle in the afternoon sun, thinking someone must’ve left these here by accident. His bed is attached to the weapons wagon…
These folk have been living alongside him for years, and not a single person has ever invaded his space with their belongings, but that only leaves the impossible possibility that these are a gift…
And if that’s the case, who in their right mind would do something so kind for him?

Summary
In the year 2082, thirty Sorcerers who called themselves “The Pure” took over England in a violent coup, established a magical supremacy, and ruled until Uther Pendragon and his underground forces defeated them. Uther became dictator, taking charge of the country in its State of Emergency. All sorcerers tied to The Pure were publicly executed. Sorcery was declared illegal. Uther's peacekeeping Patronus force crushes rebellions. All who are suspected of practicing magic disappear or are executed. England grows increasingly restless under Uther Pendragon. Laws on sorcery have begun to change in other countries, and civil unrest stirs again in England herself.
In this changing political landscape, Uther Pendragon’s son Arthur finds himself at University, caught between his father’s expectations and his own growing unease about his father’s policies and persecution of magic. His friend and classmate from childhood, Merlin Astur, has kept his secret as long as he's been alive. In the face of a changing world, threats to his closest friends, and an ancient Druid legend, he struggles to keep his magic hidden while protecting those dear to him.

Summary
Living in high society, I’d grown accustomed to the lifestyle of the rich. But I ached for a better life outside of the dinner parties and gatherings. When my mother died, my father moved us to a farm in West Elizabeth, settling on a nice piece of land per the suggestion of Mr. Cornwall, my father’s childhood friend. Things were peaceful until the day my family farm was raided and my entire family was slaughtered by the O’Driscolls. I tried to make a run for it but didn’t even make it to the stables before getting caught; my brother dying in my arms. My only hope of escape was to try and make a run for it. Now, I have no idea how, when, or if I’ll ever make it out of here with my life, but I can only pray that God will rain Hell itself down upon the men who did this to my family because if God won’t, he knows I will.

Summary
It starts with a speech, as all things in Arthur's life do. Yet this time it ain’t Dutch speaking, it’s Arthur, and the words coming out of his mouth are vile and black as his heart, but he has to say them. So he does.
True to form, as all words and talks and lengthy speeches typically bring him, a world of trouble follows.

Summary
Arthur Morgan is a man that has let several horrible things in his life harden him. It feels like it’s been one thing after another. May, who has been with the gang for almost as long as Arthur, tries not to let that happen. After years of pining over one another and life just not giving them the chance, maybe something can finally happen. Maybe they are both ready to take their friendship to the next level. It’s mostly going to be events that happen through May’s eyes. Arthur is still going to make journal entries throughout because I like writing those.
