Summary
”I’d be a fool not to mention it— you and her have grown close…” he could hear the soft pain in Rain Falls’ voice. A bird circled the sky before it vanished and Arthur felt a speck of envy grow within him. To fly away. To disappear. Slow, then altogether at once.
“She is… my only daughter. Please don’t hurt her.”
Arthur knew it then. Aiyana was like the sun. And he was flying too close.
⟡ A rdr2 retelling centered around the Van der Linde gang and the Wapiti tribe. ⟡

Summary
Charles hung up and sighed. Eagle Flies just called him to announce that he and Paytah were dating now. His beloved cousin asked if he wanted to bring Arthur to their family dinner this Friday, so he won't be that awkward with his new boyfriend. And now Charles had a dilemma: from one side, his family never met his boyfriend. From the other side: Arthur and his family were a bit... standing out compared to what other people found normal.
Or
Eagle Flies started dating Paytah, and not to feel too awkward at the family dinner asked Charles to bring Arthur. John figured out about Eagle Flies' ideas and now the Van der Linde family has a meeting with Charles' family (his uncle and cousin) and its being a mess

Summary
"'Y'know, for such a 'mighty warrior,' you sure do whine a lot. You'll be fine. It can't hurt nearly as much as breaking it in the first place; at least setting it won't require falling out of a tree.'
Eagle Flies winced as Rains Fall's eyebrows nearly jumped up into his hairline. Damn it, Paytah...
'Falling out of a tree? What in the world were you doing to fall out of a tree?' He shook his head, a long-suffering sigh escaping his lips. 'Never mind. I'm not sure I want to know.'"
As usual, Eagle Flies makes an attempt at heroism. And as usual, it goes awry, leaving his father and his best friend to patch him up afterward. Thankfully, they don't seem to mind (too much).

Summary
"'I worried about you for a long time, after everything that happened, but you seem better recently. Happier.' After a moment he added, in a voice barely louder than the whisper of his blade across the wood, 'I think he'd be proud of you for letting yourself move on."
Those words were not the ones Charles had expected to hear, and they hit him like a sucker-punch to the gut. A hard lump suddenly lodged itself in his throat, and he couldn't tell if it wanted to be a sob or a scream, but he refused to let it free. Instead he forced it back down his gullet inch by inch like a jagged stone, until it settled as heavy as lead and bitter as the cheapest, foulest swill of rotgut in his belly."
Charles and Paytah take a moment to remember those they loved and lost, and in their shared grief, find hope.

Summary
As far as dinner dates went, this was maybe not a textbook example of a good one. Yet, Charles found himself smiling and laughing with his new… family. It was a big concept to grasp. He was spending the night with a family that wanted him in it, wanted to share their traditions and time with him.
—
Our lives are built around habits. Some of us try to break them, some of us embrace them, and some of us are trapped by them.
Charles' crush on Arthur has turned into something more. They have been dating for a few months, and it's been going mostly well. Except, it seems like Arthur is not telling him everything about his life or family. In this story, Charles gets to know the mysterious family and - unfortunately or not - they get to know him as well.

Summary
It was barely dark when Arthur slumped backwards onto the cold rock, the sky just beginning to brighten with the new dawn. His breath rattled in his chest, the all too familiar pain, like a thousand tiny needles stabbing at his lungs, now almost unbearable with every inhale. Pain was everywhere. His battered body felt broken.
Arthur waits to die on a cold, Ambarino mountain, but he didn’t figure on a good friend with a gut feeling he refused to ignore.
Given an unexpected second chance, Arthur has to think about moving on from his past, and living a different kind of life.
