    Summary

    Jack isn’t a baby anymore. He notices things. Notices how worried Momma always looks. Notices how tired Pa is at the end of the day. Notices how they take turns in not having dinner, saying things like ‘I’ll eat later with your pa’ or ‘I had a big lunch’ or ‘I had dinner with the fellas at work’. Notices how thin they’re getting.

    He decides to do something about it.

     

    (Or: years after the events at Beaver Hollow, Jack wanders into the woods, and meets someone oddly familiar.)

    Summary

    Susan never called herself a motherly sort. But when Dutch's posturing behavior leads to Arthur having gone missing, she gets an idea to get her... their boy back. Bessie never called herself the violent sort. But when some goddamn bounty hunter comes between her and her son, she'll do whatever it takes.

    Summary

    Dutch and Hosea had been scheming, lying, and swindling unsuspecting folk of their goods for a while now; ever since they reached Chicago.
    And with Chicago, came the sweltering heat, working girls, drunken folks with too much money to spare; and a very bitey, feral child by the name of John Marston.
    A series of oneshots depicting John and Arthur's adventures growing up together!

    Summary

    ”What’cha got there, son?” It’s Dutch who decides to end Arthur’s charade, calling out in a low voice from where he’s sitting beside Hosea, an unlit cigar caught between curled fingers.

    Arthur freezes on the spot. The sack on his back does not. He looks like a deer caught in the light of a lantern; eyes wide, stock-still, acting as if no one will notice him if he’s just really quiet.

    ”Nothin’,” he says eventually.

    Summary

    Arthur had done plenty of stupid things in his life, but last week, when he'd helped a feller get his leg out of a bear trap, he'd winced, and said to himself, 'Now, you ain't ever gonna do somethin' this dumb you ugly bastard, ya hear me?'

    His fault, really. He'd practically asked for it.

    Summary

    Those hands of his have killed, maimed and spilled blood too many times for him to ever fully wash the stain away.
    Those hands of his can also guide, comfort, protect and love.

    It takes Loid a peanut-loving child, a terrifyingly strong wife, and a highly intelligent dog to realize that.

    (or five times Loid Forger uses his hands to express love, and the one time he receives love through touch)

    Summary

    John watched the farmer, now flanked by two other men, string up a noose, and throw it over a branch of the oak.

    No more questions, then.

    He had a good couple of years, he supposed. Didn’t think he’d make it too long anyway, but at least he could be John, just for a little bit. Even if it was scary and cold and hungry, at least he was free.

    Or

    John's experiences as a half-feral deeply traumatised trans boy getting adopted by a gang of outlaws.

    Summary

    For whatever reason, however, John stuck to Arthur like glue. Perhaps it was because they were closest in age, or maybe Arthur had done something the day they met that struck a chord with John. Whatever the case, no matter what Arthur did, John would be just a step behind. The kid was always in his business; he couldn’t seem to get a moment’s peace anymore. For Christ's sake, the kid shared a tent with him; even at nighttime, there was no escape. That wasn’t to say John was all bad. He had his moments here and there, but for the most part, one would think that the boy made it his sworn duty to be a complete nuisance to Arthur.

    It's 1885, and life is going well for both Arthur Morgan and the van der Linde gang. Nonetheless, fate has a funny way of showing itself sometimes. Enter John Marston: A self-willed, quarrelsome, frequently-irritating eleven-year-old.

    Summary

    When Arthur had finally dragged himself back to camp, it had been a miracle that nobody had expected to occur. John had been sitting by the campfire, smoking with Charles and Sean, when he heard shouts from the edge of camp. It didn’t take him long to rush over to find Arthur on the ground, saying something to Dutch about a trap. Naturally, Dutch talked over him.

     

    “That all doesn’t matter, son. You’re safe now, Mister Morgan, you’re safe.”

    (A look at what happens after Arthur rescues himself from the O'Driscoll camp.)

    Summary

    “You won’t believe our luck! I found something wonderful in town!”

    Hosea eyes the boy shuffling beside Dutch’s horse, staring down at his boots. Then he slowly turns back to Dutch. Takes in the bright grin, the eyes gleaming with excitement – the expression he usually gets when he comes up with one of his grand schemes.

    “...behind the dirty urchin?”

    -

    Against his will and better judgement, Hosea Matthews acquires a son.

    Summary

    John’s tugging got more persistent. Arthur mustered up the gumption to open his eyes, and then there were two blurry Marstons. Two blurry, scared looking Marstons, as if one weren’t enough. 

    “Dutch! Hosea! Something’s wrong with Arthur!”

    Then the world tilted on its head…or maybe he did.

    Arthur Morgan has a new brother, a headache, and a rapidly dwindling will to live.

    Summary

    In the six months or so since Dutch and Hosea found him, Arthur has brought back all manner of creatures as would-be pets - from the conventional but inappropriate, to the unconventional, to the downright bizarre.

    One day, shortly before his first Christmas with them, he brings back a horrible goose.

    Summary

    Eight years have passed since Blackwater, Saint Denis, and the fall of the van der Linde gang. The survivors are trying to make a life for themselves – some moving on to nobler pursuits, some circling back like carrion birds to the scores they left behind.

    And outside a town called Purgatory, West Elizabeth, a man wakes up without a scrap of memory or a name, haunted by a black wolf and a golden stag.
