Summary
Over the past few years, he’s started sleeping as little as he possibly can without dying — his under-eyes are permanently bruised and he spends daytimes hallucinating. It’s better than dwelling on what has come before: screams, limp bodies, spraying blood, blue eyes.

Summary
Before they were Joe and Nicky, they were Yusuf and Nicolò. And there was gravity, there were moths to flame, and there was them.
“You have lost your mind,” said Nicolò. His expression was awe-struck, glowing with hesitant hope.
“I have lost my heart,” Yusuf said in response, emboldened. “You have it.”

Summary
“You’re the worst,” Thor pinches the bridge of his nose once again, and Loki sees Hela cocking her head, eyeing them with amused curiosity, “why are you baiting her to kill us? We have just had a conversation about recklessness. Mainly, you complained about mine. I feel entitled to complain about yours now, considering you lump my life with yours on the line.”
“I was not baiting her,” he explains impatiently, they do not have this kind of time to be idling, “I was merely pointing out it is to her advantage to keep us alive. Forgive me for assuming she uses her brain, unlike you.”
“Are you ever going to come up with a better argument than calling me an idiot? It’s been centuries, brother, surely you must have a better comeback by now–”
“I will stab you–”
A sound, harsh and sharp, interrupts their bickering, and Loki is shocked to find it’s Hela laughing. It is not anywhere nice or reassuring, but he wouldn’t call it unpleasant. “I must admit, this is entertaining. Are you always this petty?”
“No,” says Loki while Thor says, “yes.”
*
or, Thor returns to Asgard a little sooner, secrets are aired a little earlier, and somehow, that makes all the difference.

Summary
John should’ve left already.
He willed himself to go. Get up, get moving. Would be so easy to gather his feet under him. Hell, there was a horse grazing in eyeshot, one of many they’d shot the Pinkerton off the back of. No Old Boy, but still. He could ride down to Copperhead Landing, no fuss. Gather Abigail, Jack, get the hell out of New Hanover.
He couldn’t leave Arthur. The thought settled in his stomach like a weight, tethering him to the ground below him.

John forces Arthur to keep on living. Even acts of love come with consequences.

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
Arthur thinks of Hosea saying that the pencil should be guided by love; that looking at a thing is not the same as seeing a thing, and that this is the difference between a hack job and a man with any real modicum of talent. Arthur thinks about how inextricably his loyalty, faith and love are all tangled up together inside his heart, and he draws John’s portrait up in the tree as faithfully as he can, faithful enough even to remember the bits of twigs stuck fast in his wild black mop of dirty hair.
This is the first time Arthur thinks that he loves John.

Summary
One of the first things John remembers after Dutch took him in is… well. Arthur. Just Arthur.
Arthur was two heads taller than him then and had just turned 22 a few days prior. He had this comfortable and effortless nature about him, like he could handle whatever good or bad the world threw at him with ease, and a handsomer face than most outlaws, though John hadn’t met many at that point. Everyone in the gang liked him, that much was immediately clear, and John never stood a chance when Arthur sauntered up to him, extended a hand, and welcomed him with a lopsided grin.
He couldn’t help but like Arthur from that moment onward.
John Marston has been in love with Arthur Morgan for a long time. The problem is, he's never told him so.

“Don’t read it,” Damen says, urgently, and he tries to pull Laurent back.
In Akielon and, oddly, Veretian, the wall of the cave says: What does your heart desire?
Laurent already has everything that his heart desires. Everything except- Auguste.
