    Summary

    Arthur frowns down at his glass. “So it didn’t mean anything to you, then? You like tryin' to hook up with truckers or something?”

    John realizes he’s digging himself into a bigger hole than he’d meant to. He runs over his options but when he looks back at Arthur, he can see a tinge of hurt under his curiosity.

    “I don’t hook up with truckers,” John says flatly. “I don’t do much hookin' up at all, actually. I just read some signals wrong that night. Thought maybe... Well, you’re a nice man. I knew that since I met you.”

    _______________

    John is adrift. Twenty-five and nothing to show for it, he’s a college drop out, his car barely runs, and his trailer leans to one side. He works a dead-end warehouse job in the hottest town in the desert. All in all, he’d call himself a failure.
 The moments he looks forward to most are when trucker Arthur Morgan passes through town. It’s not enough, though. John wants more out of life, and he wants more from Arthur Morgan.

    Summary

    The wind drops, suddenly, and the swirls of billowing snow settle between them slowly. Arthur squints as the figure becomes more defined, familiar but… not.

    Wrong.

    John Marston stands at the top of the crest of the mountain covered in snow and blood. There’s a dead wolf pelt with the head still attached wrapped around his neck and shoulders and he drags two more by the tail behind him. Four violent gashes cut through his cheek and up over his nose.

    It’s hard to tell how much of the blood is his and how much is from the wolves.

    “The hell, Marston?! You kill those with your bare hands?” Javier demands, looking shocked.

    John makes a face that might be intended to be a grin but it’s all teeth. It makes the cuts on his face weep and Arthur feels himself wince in sympathy. Those must be painful.

    “I had a knife.”

    Or

    John closes his eyes on Beechers Hope and opens them to teeth at his throat.

    Summary

    When John Marston vanishes from the rodeo circuit without a word, Arthur Morgan’s world shifts from predictable grit to sharp edges of loneliness and regret. Years later, John returns—with a son, scars, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. Now, Arthur must wrestle with lost chances, stubborn pride, and the messy, beautiful chaos of becoming a reluctant stepdad and maybe, just maybe, finding home in John’s arms again.

    Summary

    Arthur and Javier don’t find John in chapter one, but O’Driscolls do.

    —“oh my Lord…” Arthur’s knees buckle and time slows down.
    There’s a chorus of reactions around him. Charles drops the axe, shaking hands coming up to cover his mouth. Javier drops his knife and steps forward, staring wide eyed like he can’t believe what he’s seeing. Sadie swears and turns away. Bill takes a step back, eyes bulging, face contorted in disgust. Lenny sputters, gasping in horror.
    His breath catches in his throat, a shrill sorrowful cry cuts through the air, it comes from him. His hands clasp the sides of the box so tight it feels like his fingers would snap. His vision is blurred instantly, but the sight of John was burned into his brain. It’s all he can see.
    “Goddammit!” Arthur cries out, “oh Johnny no…” What have they done to him?

    Summary

    Obviously they had to do something with the situation at hand and because Dutch hated him, Arthur was chosen to get John to town and look for help.

    “You always knew how to handle him,” Dutch explained his decision.

    Arthur raised his eyebrow at him.

    Summary

    Second epilogue added

     

    Arthur Morgan followed his own advice and left the gang when he had a child (the canonical Eliza and Isaac), taking up as a bounty hunter. Along the way he picked up a young John Marston, who thus never runs with Dutch. Despite leaving, Arthur never truly left his connections behind him, and when Dutch asked for help, he always answered. In 1899, during the event of the game, this arrangement might eventually force Arthur to choose to whom he truly owes his loyalty.

    John sneered. "You think I'd protect Dutch Van der Linde? Believe me, if I knew where he was, I'd tell you. Hell, I'd go get him myself. He's worth 10 large right now."

    Milton sneered right back. "I am not a fool, Mister Marston, kindly do not treat me as one. You would do nothing without Arthur Morgan's say-so, and that will be what puts you on the gallows right beside him."

    Summary

    After their parting, John and Arthur tried not to think about each other much, effort in futility though it may be. As Arthur made the long trip back home, he noticed how quiet the truck was, how empty and cold it felt even with the heater on and the southern sun baking the asphalt outside.

    John, despite laying with a roof over his head and a warm, soft blanket pulled up to his chin, couldn’t get comfortable with the aching in his chest.

    Summary

    John’s young when he presents as an omega. As much as Arthur and everyone else pretends otherwise, the dynamic of their gang shifts.

    Me on my A/B/O examination again. This time an exploration of gender dynamics in Omegaverse, and what it would be like for a boy raised in a hyper-masculine setting to be suddenly expected to take on a feminine role.
