Whumptober 2020, #14: Is Something Burning? "Branding"Colm’s lips spread into something that was neither grin nor sneer nor smirk, not any sort of expression at all, serving only to bare his chipped and dulled teeth, “A good dog wears his master’s information on his tags,” he said, and nothing else as though that were supposed to make great sense and oh shit

Whumptober 2020, #24: You're Not Making Any Sense: "Forced Mutism"“Jesus, Arthur, Jesus, just… just hold on, we’ll figure this out.” he staggered forward, dropped to his knees. Wanted nothing more than to severe the stitches but was terrified of making it worse (and he would have, though he didn’t know it, would have stopped opened countless wounds and Arthur would have screamed and undone all the clotting his tongue had managed and his son would have bled out in moments) so had to settle for viciously cutting through his bindings, hands shaking such he was terrified of nicking Arthur.

Whumptober 2020, #5: Where Did Everybody Go?: "Don't Say Goodbye"
“You’re my brother,”
and when had they stopped being brothers?
“I know,” Arthur didn’t even pause, just leaned against the side of the cliff face for the briefest moment to catch his breath, looked back at him and said it with a nod of his head as though it were a given, as though he’d said the sky was blue and water’s wet, then again, “I know.” before continuing on his way.

Whumptober 2020, #5: For The Greater Good: "Run!"
The sheriff was giving that speech he’d heard a thousand times, and was nearing its end. “He shows no remorse… neither shall we.”
He was terrified. He didn’t want to die - would gladly die for his family but now he was staring into his death and oh god I don’t want to die but he was no magician, he was no Trelawney, couldn’t magic himself out of the ropes, didn’t have a gun or a knife, had been stripped down while he was slumped over the back of the lawman’s mare and left defenseless and oh god I’m about to die.

Whumptober 2020, alt. #12: Water
He gasped, found himself with a mouthful of muck - and then he was drowning. Couldn’t get air passed the mud and filth that entered his mouth every time he opened it, dug in his feet and arched his back and, just barely, managed to get his mouth above the marsh, spat the filth from his mouth and gulped down air—

“Grab on, we’re almost home free!”

“I got ya.”

Whumptober 2020, alt. #14: Shot
Hosea stepped forward, scowling as he looked at Arthur and the man - he’d never even gotten his name - staring each other down. Dutch’s gun belt was too big on the boy, even fastened as tight as it’d go, and Arthur was praying it wouldn’t fall.
“I’ll count to ten,” the man was clearly no stranger to duels, considering how quick he’d been to challenge a boy to one, but Arthur was new to them and it was procedure to announce how they’d work, “one pace away for each count. On ten, you fire. Understood?”

But then he hadn’t gotten back up.
“Arthur?” Hosea had asked, more confused than concerned - the boy’s eyes had been open, staring up at the sky above him, and his chest rose and fell, but he hadn’t even tried to sit up. His eyes darted to Hosea, so wide they could make out the white from where they sat perched on their horses, and he opened his mouth as if to speak before seeming to think better of it, closing his mouth.

Whumptober 2020, alt. #7: Found Family
Charles never regretted burying Arthur. The man deserved a burial, deserved a headstone, deserved more than to be left to rot.
But he’d give anything to be able to close his eyes without seeing Arthur laying on the mountain, without seeing his corpse. To remember Arthur without first seeing him dead on the ground, to remember him living and bright, even if it was angry and cruel, before he’d tried to redeem himself if only because it meant he didn’t first think of him half-rotted on that stone.

Whumptober 2020, #26: If You Thought The Head Trauma Was Bad...: "Concussion"Arthur was decently sure he was upside down. Least it felt like it, he was no stranger to the feeling of blood rushing to his head, and his head was throbbing in that way, his mouth tasting vaguely metallic. ‘Shiiit.’ Tried to right himself, and found he couldn’t, an uncomfortable tugging sensation on his stomach that… was becoming more painful than uncomfortable, okay, ouch.

Arthur couldn’t remember the last time he slept.
He’d tried, but no one would let him. Every time he so much as looked at his tent, Miss Grimshaw or Dutch was there, nipping at him for not contributing enough, or Pearson was there, heckling him to go out hunting.

Whumptober 2020, #30: Now, Where Did That Come From?: "Internal Organ Injury"
If a person is struck in the chest at a specific time in the heart rhythm cycle, the heart’s electrical signal can be interrupted, resulting in the heart stopping. This rare cause of the heart suddenly stopping is called “commotio cordis.” The blunt force that causes commotio cordis often comes from a hard object or ball hitting the chest, such as a baseball, a softball, or a hockey puck, but it can come from any type of blow.
