Summary
Arthur doesn't know how he managed to escape the Pinkertons.
Maybe it was sheer dumb luck, or it was something higher than himself. He wasn't much of a believer.
But, as he lay dying among the grass, he was convinced the face looking down at him was the face of an angel.

Summary
Isaac Morgan was brought into the world of the outlaws at the age of five. Though it wasn't at the hand of his Pa. It was his own doing, though solely done out of self-defense. He had to run either way. He ended up meeting two kind girls that were on the hunt for their older brother, Jake Adler, and his wife, Sadie. They decided, then and there, they'd stick together. That leaves them in Rhodes in 1899 and exhausted by rich families hating each other.

Summary
John made it a dozen steps down the mountain before he stopped dead in his tracks and marveled at his own stupidity. What was he doing? It was what Arthur asked him to do–no, begged him to do–but that didn't make it right.
In between coughing fits that made John's stomach churn, Arthur had kept going on about how John had a family in Abigail and Jack, and maybe that was true… but before there had been John and Abigail or John and Jack, there had been John and Arthur. He'd called Arthur his brother while he clutched his bleeding shoulder and wore Arthur's hat and satchel, because he thought it was what Arthur would want to hear before John ran off like a coward. It wasn't untrue, not exactly, but if John's feelings for the self-sacrificing idiot weren't completely platonic, well, now wasn't the time or place to examine that.
(AKA the fic where John doesn't leave the mountain alone, and everything that happens afterward.)

Summary
Isaac wanted revenge.
He felt it in his lungs, gasping in the pressure that seeped into his pores, drowning his senses and evolving into sharp, lifeless eyes, shaking hands holding onto a worn cattleman that was stained with the lives of men he showed no sympathy of.
He wanted his father. Stupid, stupid, Arthur Morgan.
He wanted the man that had ruined his life. The one that stared at him through a bounty poster in Rhodes, the replica sending seething senses into his mind, sharp pangs in his stomach enough to wind him. The man had killed his mother, and left him for dead. And based on the price on Arthur’s head, he had probably done it over and over again with women, throwing them away like Working Girls.
Isaac wanted his father dead. And he’d do anything.
OR
Isaac goes on a journey to capture his father, mostly by questioning and slaughtering men. He becomes a feared man, but not well-known.

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.

Summary
“Very prepared man, aren’t you?” Arthur asked, looking into Charles’ brown eyes. Looking at him felt the same as that very night. Calm, quiet, gentle, warm.
A warm breeze passed over the pair of men as they looked at one another. Charles nodded, walking to Taima and securing his bedroll to the saddle.
“Would you…” Charles started softly, weakly. “Would you like to go hunting with me?”
Arthur thought for a moment. “I wouldn’t mind.”
It was what he needed, really. Some real time away from camp. Charles wasn’t bad company.Bookmarked by silkweed

Summary
"No one would have me."
Sober, those words haunted Lenny because they didn't just mean that Arthur hadn't found someone, nor did they mean Arthur wasn't interested. It meant he’d wanted it. It meant he’d tried. And it meant that he'd been hurt so much, by so many, that he’d given up. And that... that was painful.
There's a kind of pride men have, especially outlaws like themselves; they don't really open up about those things – they especially don't open up about those things with people younger than themselves, which is exactly why Lenny had no ability to pry after the fact.
And there's a burden that comes with knowledge. There's a burden that comes with knowing things. Seeing things.
Arthur’s biggest tragedy was the very thing Arthur couldn't see. But Lenny could. Lenny didn’t just see the way people treated him, he saw the way people treated everyone. He saw the way people treated Arthur. And he saw the way people looked at Arthur. One person in particular looked at Arthur too often, too intently – at least too intently for a "brother."

Summary
Recruiting had never been Arthur’s job, nor had it ever been anything he showed any interest in. The only person Arthur had ever brought back to camp had been Mary Gillis, and he had never invited her to stay. With that particular commonality in mind, Hosea studied this newcomer as he approached with Arthur.
The two of them had to pass by Hosea on their way to Dutch’s cabin and Arthur paused, his companion falling into step beside him. Up close, Hosea could see that the man’s dark skin held an even deeper shade beneath his eyes, betraying sleepless nights. His black hair was pulled back in a loose tail that stopped well past his shoulders—and, well, if Hosea were a couple decades younger, he could certainly understand why this man was the first person Arthur had brought home since introducing them all to Mary Gillis.
Or: Five times Hosea Matthews suspected something was going on between Arthur and Charles, and the one time he confirmed it.

Summary
“Do you think me so cruel that I would make you get rid of the child?” A genuine look of hurt flashes across his face, his blue eyes studying him intently.
Perhaps he was wrong.
“No, Robert.” He feels a surge of hope. Perhaps he will show Jon the mercy he denied his siblings, now that he has calmed down. “I thought it best not to tempt fate.” He grabs him by the forearm. “I can still take him to the North. Nobody has to know the truth. He won’t either. He will be no threat to you or your rule. I will make sure of that.”
Robert chuckles. “It was already too late for that the moment you crossed the city gates. Before nightfall, every beggar and whore will know the truth, or some twisted version of it.” He glances towards the cradle. “Jon. I don’t like this name. My son should have a proper Baratheon name, but since you took it upon yourself to name him as such, I have no choice but to accept that.”
Ned freezes. “Your son?”

Robert assumes Jon is their baby.Bookmarked by silkweed

Summary
Around 1899, Dutch van der Linde began changing. He started... killing for more than survival. Angelo Bronte's murder stuck with John, and with Abigail revealing her second pregnancy soon after, he realized that this camp was quickly turning into something dangerous for his family. He had to choose between two selves— the outlaw and the father. And he chose.
1911- The Marstons (and Morgan) have established themselves as a semi-successful hunting family in West Elizabeth. Though dirt poor, they are generally at peace with themselves and the lives that they've built. That is, until a fifteen-year-old Jack gets it in his head that he can spare them from lifelong debt by hunting down a risky bounty (a task made none the easier with his ten-year-old sister insisting on tagging along).
After so many years, how did that god-forsaken gang worm its way back into John's life?
