Summary
Out of all the ideas Dutch and Hosea have schemed up, thrusting Arthur into the role of older brother had to be the most ill-advised yet. Taking care of others, especially a boy with fire in his eyes and mischief in his heart, was far beyond his skill set. Destruction seeped from Arthur's fingers, laying waste to every good thing that ever came his way. It was only a matter of time before he would lead the boy to ruin.
This story follows John growing up from Arthur's perspective. Arthur struggles with the responsibility of being an older brother, particularly being looked up to, as his own actions cut away at his soul and his self-worth continues to erode. He teaches John different things along the way--with varying degrees of success--and strives to protect him from harm. This is easier said than done, as is Arthur's desire to prevent the kid from becoming like him.

Summary
She's pouting, all petulant like a child, and Jesus Christ, sometimes Six looks at Claire in all of her eleven-year-old-glory, and he can't help but think back to when he was her age; already beaten down and broken in by more than his father's fists and the U.S. prison system. And then, Six thinks about how he can keep her away from all of that. How he'd go to the ends of the earth just to make sure that she never, ever, has to know that kind of hurt or violence.
His fists tighten just thinkin' about it. Six takes a deep breath. Sweat beads down his face and no amount of fiddling with the fan is gonna make the air turn cold.
"Alright," He says, capturing her attention. "Let's go get ice cream."
