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?- Language:

Summary
AU where in Chapter 1 John isn't rescued by the gang after the wolf attack. There was too much else between gang members missing or starving, but as they dethaw in Horseshoe someone should have been able to put together the clues.
Luckily Arthur doesn't have to look to hard when he stumbled across John walking through the middle of Valentine one morning. Having gotten himself away from his captors, Arthur helps him with the rest. Its the least he could do for his brother, even if they hadn't called each other that in a long time.Bookmarked by annapurges

Summary
John Marston is ambushed by the Pinkertons and dies in 1911 after hunting down all his old gang members, not getting to finish the happy life with his family. Why then does he wake up in 1899 on Colter with Javier and Arthur rescuing him?
It seems fate, or a more malevolent force, has given John a second chance and now he has to live among his familial ghosts as he figures out how he can fix it this time. But, people are getting concerned by his new behaviour- what's there to expect from a 39 year mind in a 26 year old body? Or more importantly, what's there to expect from a hardened man forced to live next to everybody who betrayed him?
THIS IS JUST MY EXCUSE TO WRITE RDR 1 JOHN MARSTON, THE LOML. I wish the Van der Linde gang could have seen what a fucking force of nature he became- both as a mature man but also the fastest gunslinger in the west. Took down the rebellion in Mexico and all of Micah's gang in the mountains without batting an eye: he deserves MORE CREDIT.
I'm not sure where I'm going to go with this because it's been a while since I've played either game but I hate mischaracterising Marston. If anybody has any advice, let me know.

Hell is a fitting end for John Marston, though fate's got something a little worse lined up for him at the bottom of a cliff.
- In which John gets bitten by something not quite a normal wolf in Colter, much to Arthur's dismay

Summary
“Good boy,” she says, hoping to convince the horse to tolerate her. She just needs to get him to stay till she can trade him in at the nearest stable.
“Is he?” Arthur raises a brow, petting Thor’s nose while the Andalusian leans into him like a little baby.
“Who said I was talking to the horse?” Sadie sasses back.
Or: An offhand comment leads Sadie to a revelation, then to a certain interesting idea...

Summary
But now there’s no next time. Her last memory of John is doomed to be a brief one. She remembers the feel of his hand under hers, remembers how he’d rubbed his thumb over the back of her knuckles right before letting go. She wishes she hadn’t rushed off, oh so concerned with being late to something that never mattered, in the grand scheme of things.
(or, tilly mourns her brothers)

Summary

Stuck with the memories and the pain, he has the chance to go back and give some version of his family a chance at a future, even if he can never experience it. What man wouldn’t take that opportunity?
And take his sorta undead demonic cousin with him.
Why the hell not

Summary
After his encounter with the O’Driscolls, Charles helps Arthur heal his bad shoulder with some stretches.
This involves Charles putting his hands on Arthur. A lot.
And Arthur is starting to wish the O’Driscolls had just finished him off, because it would’ve been less painful than the way his heart is currently trying to beat its way out of his chest.

Summary
The hunt for the Legendary Wolf at Cotorra Springs doesn't go exactly as planned, and Arthur Morgan nearly dies trying to get back to the gang's camp. After the gang nurses him back to health and he sells the hard-won wolf's pelt, he thinks that's the end of it. But strange things have been happening to him since the attack, and he can only go so long ignoring them before things come to a head. Will Arthur succumb to the monster he thinks he is, in more ways than one?
Werewolf Arthur Morgan AU, because it's a fascinating concept and I don't think there's enough of it out there. Follows canon to a point; eventual endgame Arthur/Charles but the romance isn't the primary focus.

Summary
From the Preface of To Men in Need, published 1885 by Rodrick Wax:
This volume is intended for those men who find that their interests lie outside the norm. It is my sincere hope that the contents of this book may provide some solace, some friendly advice, and a means for developing easier companionship. If this book can impart but one thing in you, let it be this: that you are not alone in your desires.
Charles and Arthur meet in a jail cell. After escaping to a cabin outside of town, they discover just how many of their desires are shared.

Summary
Hosea smiles wryly. “You’ve got a good head on your shoulders, Mister Smith,” he says. “You know, I wish you would have joined us sooner. Could have used a reliable man like you years ago.”
Charles snorts, a rare, crooked smile crossing his face. “Nah. Don’t think you all would have liked me much back then. I sure didn’t.”
Hosea chuckles. “Well, I like you well enough now. Arthur too.”
Charles says nothing to that, but the corner of his mouth twitches upward again. “I’ll find him,” he promises.
“I know, dear boy. I know.”
A Blessed are the Peacemakers fix-it where Charles is sent to retrieve a missing Arthur Morgan and sees a bit too much of the man in the process. Hosea is furious, Dutch's world is crumbling, and Arthur is stuck in the middle. Luckily, Charles is there too.
