Summary
What if the mountain top wasn't quite the end for Arthur? What if he had a bit more fight left in him than he realised? And what if, this last time, he lets someone else do the work and the rescuing.
"Hitting the ground wasn't the worst part. It had been painful for sure although it had only resulted in a quiet gasp as opposed to the coughing fit that he'd braced himself for. The worst part was knowing that he wasn't going to get back up. He couldn't do it. He missed John so much that it hurt more than his chest, more than his throat, more than his racked lungs. He felt like a child in his wanting for John so badly. He had tried to die like a man, he had tried to get up and live again no matter how short a time. And now he'd fallen short. He'd fallen."

“I’m looking for two men, came in here not that long ago.” He began and the rat-like man nodded vigorously.
“Yes, yes. Room 3.” He sputtered and Javier grinned, though the gesture was more like a wolf showing it’s teeth to it’s victim rather than a friendly one. The clerk saw it too and swallowed thickly, shuffling his feet and wringing his hands.

IM BACK BITCHES HERE HAVE THIS
“Can you close the tent, Arthur?” He asked nervously and Arthur sighed, stepping forward, the flap falling into place behind him. John watched warily as Arthur moved forward. Arthur prowled forward, placing a rough hand on John’s shoulder. When the younger man relaxed slightly he pushed John to the bed, the blanket falling from his fingers to the floor.

Javier slung an arm over his eyes and groaned.
“Pay attention, Javier. Wouldn’t wanna miss the show.” Arthur laughed and Javier opened his eyes, watching John from under his forearm. John flushed a deep red and turned his face to the floor. Arthur rumbled with laughter and leant over Javier to tilt John’s jaw up. “After all, I ain’t never seen a performer good as this one.”

Summary
There are plenty that'd call John Marston a lucky bastard, but after a train robbery goes to hell on his watch, he ain't one of them. Afterwards, his luck keeps getting worse and worse and of course Arthur goddamn Morgan's the one convinced that he ain't as unlucky as he feels.
-
John reaches down slowly to pick up the hat, tries to brush the dust away with his forearm; it smears more than clears and he gives up, offering it over.
Arthur grabs his hat, sets it on his head to free his hand again and says nothing just yet. There's a tense line in his jaw and neck, fear disappeared under determination. He grips John's chin, tilts his head back and the intensity to how he examines him for injury is more than he can process. "Why was you even in there?"
"I was trying to let you sleep without nothing to bother it," John supplies, bitter at how it backfired. "Thought I'd see if there were anything worth taking, since ain't no one else claiming it."
"Ain't never thought I'd sleep better with y-" Arthur cuts himself off, drops his grip and starts running his hand along John's shoulders, arms; checks for hurts that ain't so obvious. "Gave me a scare, dumbass," he mutters instead.

Summary
John Marston's had one too many brushes with trouble throughout his life and sets off to the Canadian West in search of something that won't end in failure; he promptly gets arrested, driven out of a town, and then ruins the gas station of the next one. At least he lays eyes on Arthur Morgan, something sweet after a week of sour, who's left wondering who the hell tore up Uncle's gas station and left him to cleaning it after a long day ranching.
-
The first time John noticed Arthur was his first day in this town called Milk River. Distracted by exhaustion while at the gas station, it just so happened that he was also distracted by the sandy-haired man climbing out of his own truck. They made eye contact just briefly enough for John to feel a blush crawl up the back of his neck. They were the only two people at the pumps and when he glanced up again, that man was still staring, head canted a bit to the side like he was trying to figure on why he ain’t recognized him. Along with a shower, some real food and a good night’s rest, that had John start thinking of what else he’d gone a good while without having.

Summary
It's been a week since the incident at the gas station; Arthur has no idea who the licorice man is, but he's seen him around a couple times. Things become interesting when they meet up during cheap beer night at the bar and an innocent mix-up of their drink orders leads to something inappropriately intimate.
-
“Was you at the gas station last week, weren’t it?” he asked.
This served up their first break from this taut web of something strung up between them, snapped some of the threads by the honestly regretful groan that sounded from John. “Hell,” he muttered as he straightened up, bottle set down as he made a short, level gesture with his hand to slow any reprimand. “Look. I don’t know what you think I was doing there, but I swear that it ain’t what it looked like.”
Arthur choked down a laugh, an eyebrow lifted up to challenge that claim. “Yeah? What’s it you figure it looked like?”
“I don’t know.” John cut the words off, breaking off eye contact as he grabbed at the seat of his chair and pulled it closer, nudged himself right up against the table. The other hand went back to the bottle, thumb scratching at the label as he dragged his gaze back his way. “Like I was trying a gas’n’dash?”

“This gang ain’t gonna last much longer. Anyone with sense can see that. And when it all falls apart, I want you to come with us. Me, Abigail, and Jack.”
The tree’s rough bark digs into John’s hand. Arthur’s eyes are wide, and he shakes his head. “John, the way that I am, I’m not gonna last – “
John cuts him off. “I don’t want to hear that. Just think about it. Please.”

He couldn’t leave.
Of course he couldn’t leave. How he ever, for even the barest hint of a second, thought he could is beyond him. Leaving would, without a doubt, be more practical. John knew that. John knew he needed to leave. But he couldn’t. He couldn’t because of Arthur.
Arthur.

Bookmarker's Notes
well, here I am, reading a fanfic about fictional outlaws bc I've been sucked into morston hell shshsjkzkslz
I love THIS, the gag with John is that he was so adament in saying he wasnt a little kid anymore but he cried like a baby everytime he got emotional, whatta darling
Also Arthur literally beat a man to death for attempting to breech John, like if that's not love, I don't know what is...
also also poor dutch (never thought I'd say that hsjsks) maybe he can love again too...
"John suddenly looked up and glanced his way, like he’d sensed Arthur staring at him all along. The boy smiled at him so sweetly that it made Arthur’s heart tumble in his chest. He could imagine John smiling at him like that in the dark. Soft, and a little shy, but eager as he took off his clothes for him. Eager for the lessons he only wanted Arthur to teach him. He could imagine John clinging to him much like he'd done previously. Blunt nails digging into Arthur’s bare back, and long coltish legs wrapped around Arthur’s hips as he moved between them. Those same eager sounds falling from John’s lips, only louder, interspersed with soft moans of pleasure and pleas for more, harder, deeper…" (THIS WHOLE THINGS, PERFECTION, ARTHUR SURE HAS A VIVID IMAGINATION)

Bookmarker's Notes
""Never can keep your mouth shut unless you've got a dick in it," Arthur grunted, sounding slightly breathless, sounding affected in a way he never did." (Aaaa the way Arthur talks to John makes me nut)
""You know, John, one'a these days," he twisted his hand inside, thumb pressing up under John's balls, pressure from both sides, "if we can get far enough away from camp, I think I'll put you on your knees and fuck you up the ass until you scream." (thanks IM fuckin screaming now so thanks arthur, holy fuck he has such a way with words my God)
"John opened his mouth.
Arthur immediately shoved in deep, pressing into the back of John's throat, the tree behind John's head giving him nowhere to back away to." (John is so obedient for Arthur as the latter fucks his throat raw and it's so hot holy hell)""Stop fucking touching me," Arthur hissed against his cheek." (ahjajsksks I love how Arthur touches John but hates when John touches him, like let him feel you tooo darlin)
"His breath hitched when he felt Arthur's thumb replace it, dipping past the swollen red rim and holding him open a moment longer, while Arthur's hot spend dripped down towards his balls." (This is so so so fucking hot, Arthur just watching his cum drip from John's hole? Like, it doesn't get better than that holy hell. Arthur most definitely marked his territory ♡)
John doesn't want nice, he wants Arthur...to fucking bareback him, holding him down and making him take it until he comes all over himself. That's what his dreams are made of babey! John's such a slut for Arthur I love it this ALOT

"John obediently pulls up. “I’m sorry... I’ll get better”. Faced clouded with concern, disappointment. But still. Better? He wants to practice?" (god, John wants to please arthur so bad, he like a slut for him)
"Arthur can’t stop a visible shudder. His mind helpfully supplying images of himself watching his cock sliding in and out of a slim body. Imagining the sounds his boy would make." (HIS BOY. The ownership he has already taken over john, god I love that )

Nice, didn't care for the whole dutch and hosea part tho.
"John was the type of boy you fucked hard and fast in an alley with a hand clamped over his mouth, the kind Arthur rarely met and when he did, they were his favourites above all other groping strangers. " (that's great imagery wow)
"Red marks stained his chest where Arthur clawed him. “ D’you like me playing with your tits, Marston?”' (nippleplay is the best)
stupid dutch and hosea, Arthur only belongs to john now. I'm just gonna headcanon that john only wants Arthur to fuck him and Arthur realizes he ONLY wants to fuck John and not his mentors anymore. yEAH now that I can get behind

John should’ve left already.
He willed himself to go. Get up, get moving. Would be so easy to gather his feet under him. Hell, there was a horse grazing in eyeshot, one of many they’d shot the Pinkerton off the back of. No Old Boy, but still. He could ride down to Copperhead Landing, no fuss. Gather Abigail, Jack, get the hell out of New Hanover.
He couldn’t leave Arthur. The thought settled in his stomach like a weight, tethering him to the ground below him.

Summary
Second epilogue added
Arthur Morgan followed his own advice and left the gang when he had a child (the canonical Eliza and Isaac), taking up as a bounty hunter. Along the way he picked up a young John Marston, who thus never runs with Dutch. Despite leaving, Arthur never truly left his connections behind him, and when Dutch asked for help, he always answered. In 1899, during the event of the game, this arrangement might eventually force Arthur to choose to whom he truly owes his loyalty.
John sneered. "You think I'd protect Dutch Van der Linde? Believe me, if I knew where he was, I'd tell you. Hell, I'd go get him myself. He's worth 10 large right now."
Milton sneered right back. "I am not a fool, Mister Marston, kindly do not treat me as one. You would do nothing without Arthur Morgan's say-so, and that will be what puts you on the gallows right beside him."
