   Summary

   When John was coming up for his thirteenth birthday, unfortunately for him and also for Arthur’s sanity, he contracted a fever. Running him hot one moment and cold the next, eyes shuddering behind his eyelids and maybe for a moment, Arthur was worried. If only for a moment. He was still scrawny and sickly looking. Like maybe he could be put down by the fever if it tried hard enough.

   ~

   John Marston, if you were to ask Arthur, was never going to win any prizes for his smarts. Or wit. Or looks. Or probably anything else for that matter. However, if he did anything right in his so-called older brother's eyes; it was remind him that no matter what your family situation, the baby of the family always got what he wanted.

   OR: a tale of Dutch and Hosea attempting to quietly love each other, while their unruly sons attempted to cause them stress related deaths.
