    Summary

    All Henry wanted out of this night was an uncomplicated one-night-stand, something to sate his bi-curiosity and help him to move on from this rut he had found himself in these past eight months.

    What he didn’t expect was for the handsome stranger he met in Prague and shared his bed with for a night to show up at his new job.

    And for him to turn out to be the literal worst

    // A story about new beginnings, finding one’s place in life, and learning to love imperfections.

    Summary

    After the Siege of Suchdol is brought to an end, Henry and Hans work out where exactly they've left things with each other.

    .

    Stepping over the threshold into the bedchamber and bolting the door behind him, a shudder wracks through him, explodes in his veins like birds startling from treetops into air. It is impossible for his body to ignore the echo of the desperate hour they passed together here on the eve of the last battle. The memory hangs in every shadow. Each floorboard knows the rhythm of their battered, beating hearts.

    Summary

    :::::::::::::::

    Arthur tells Charles he's dying. Charles proves him wrong. HEA.

    Somewhere between Explicit and Mature as always.

    :::::::::::::::

    “I’m not saying you ain’t sick. But that doesn’t mean you’re contagious and it certainly doesn’t mean you’re dying. If there was something to catch, I would have caught it by now.”
    “Charles—”
    “You’re not dying, Arthur. You’re not.” He says each word short and slow, and absolutely certain. “You- are- not.” Speaks them into Arthur’s eyes. Into the universe. Like he can will them into being. And who’s to say he can’t? A woman in his mother’s tribe could make it rain.
    “Okay,” Arthur says, smiling. “Okay.”
    “You’ll get a second opinion?”
    “Yes.” A brush of Arthur’s lips on Charles’ knuckles and the meeting of eyes. “Yes, I will. For you, I will.”

    Summary

    Arthur squints through the morning light and finds Charles' face, drawn tight in an expression he has never, ever seen before. His eyes are open sores. He's never looked more like an angel.

    Summary

    “Don’t come to a party. Don’t want a drink. Don’t see no problem sittin’ out in the woods alone all night. At a party. Like you’ve been kicked outta bed for crumbs.”
    “From the tragedy of your singing, I figured it was a funeral I was missing.”

    Sean's party set in Chapter 2. Arthur looks for Charles, attempts flirting.

    Summary

    “So, what’s wrong with you?” The man’s voice drops a few octaves, and Arthur finds himself staring at the radio. That voice, deep and smoky, it captures his attention and holds it,
    Thinking things like that is not what you need to be doing right now.
    Arthur thumbs the receiver before he can think better of it. “Excuse me?” He tells himself the flush in his face is from anger and not embarrassment, or something worse.
    Charles’ tone remains unruffled, as if he’s content to ignore Arthur’s attempt at dodging. “I asked, what’s wrong with you? The average person doesn’t take a job like this. What are you running from?”

    Or, a Red Dead Redemption2/Firewatch crossover AU no one asked for.

    Summary

    "Arthur Morgan has a special reverence for horses
    It’s one of the first things that Charles learns about him, evident in innumerable small ways, not hidden— not something that would probably even occur to Arthur to hide— but nevertheless easy to miss."

    Summary

    Who knew maize could be such a maze, Arthur muses. Huffing at his own brilliant wordplay, he makes a mental note to tell Charles that joke. Later. When they’re not shooting bounty hunters in a cornfield game of cat and mouse.

    Set during the Chapter 3 mission 'Magicians for Sport', Arthur and Charles track Trelawny to some bounty hunters, and as usual, everything goes spectacularly wrong.

    Summary

    There was a rumor that Dutch van der Linde sold his soul at a crossroad in exchange for the shapechanging beasts that followed at his beck and call. Frankly, Arthur didn’t buy it. He followed Dutch and Hosea because they fed him. Some deal with a devil had nothing to do with it.

    Summary

    Charles has shared more than he is used to with Arthur and, in turn, Arthur has done the same. Charles knows Arthur loves Hosea and Dutch like his fathers, John like his brother. He knows Arthur has had his heart broken in the past, even if he doesn’t know by who. He knows he wears his hat like a suit of armour and tugs it down whenever he’s feeling vulnerable.

    He knows his journal is his most prized possession.

    So the first time Arthur leaves his journal in plain view of Charles, it stumps him a bit.

     

    --- OR: ---

     

    6 times Charles gets a glimpse inside Arthur's journal, and 1 time he gets to read it all.

    Summary

    Tuberculosis doesn't kill Arthur. Neither does Micah Bell. After the events of RDR2, a seriously injured and sick Arthur follows the advice of his physician to "get somewhere dry, and warm" and travels west to the state of Argent, where he finds work on a sheep farm and undergoes a risky operation to combat his illness. Meanwhile, Charles hears about what happened to the gang after his departure. Restless, unable to gain closure, and in desperate need of money, Charles begins taking local prizefighting matches, eventually moving west to the mining town of Comstock in northern Argent. Eventually, their paths will cross.

    Tl;dr: Arthur's sick. Charles is sad. There's a lot of boxing, a lot of pining, a blowjob, fake history, and love.

    Summary

    “Hey.”

    Charles looks up, squinting against the sun, and focuses on the figure looming above him. It’s a bright day on the mountain, and all this damned snow is doing nobody any favors. “Arthur,” he says. “Good morning.”

    “Huh? Yeah, mornin’.” Arthur tilts his head, scratches at his jaw, and tucks his chin down towards his chest. It’s a very particular mannerism, one that Charles has watched him perform countless times.

    “You want me,” Felix murmurs, voice sliding into a low croon, “you want to make me feel good, you want to feel good too, don’t you, puppy?”
