Summary
Kieran Duffy did not do favours. Asking for a favour meant owing one in return, and there was little Kieran could offer that the sort of people he'd have to ask favours from didn't already have.
If help was offered out of kindness alone, it didn't count. An act of kindness was not a favour, it was a blessing that he could hold safely in his thoughts whenever the world felt too bleak. These only counted if they were done without his input, otherwise they became a favour and Kieran didn't do favours.
OR
6 times the Van der Lindes helped Kieran, and 1 time he got to repay the favour.

Summary
Eight years have passed since Blackwater, Saint Denis, and the fall of the van der Linde gang. The survivors are trying to make a life for themselves – some moving on to nobler pursuits, some circling back like carrion birds to the scores they left behind.
And outside a town called Purgatory, West Elizabeth, a man wakes up without a scrap of memory or a name, haunted by a black wolf and a golden stag.

Summary
The hunt for the Legendary Wolf at Cotorra Springs doesn't go exactly as planned, and Arthur Morgan nearly dies trying to get back to the gang's camp. After the gang nurses him back to health and he sells the hard-won wolf's pelt, he thinks that's the end of it. But strange things have been happening to him since the attack, and he can only go so long ignoring them before things come to a head. Will Arthur succumb to the monster he thinks he is, in more ways than one?
Werewolf Arthur Morgan AU, because it's a fascinating concept and I don't think there's enough of it out there. Follows canon to a point; eventual endgame Arthur/Charles but the romance isn't the primary focus.

Summary
A late night hunt goes awry when Arthur and Charles are chased across the tracks cutting through the border of the Heartlands and Lemoyne, when a ghostly train barrels right into, or rather, through them. Somehow, they find themselves separated and ten years in the past.
Arthur finds himself looking after a teenage Charles, who's more of an angry, scrawny kitten than the calm, skillful hunter he knows so well.
On the other end, Charles comes face to face with a young Arthur who is smug, cocky, and a flirt.

Summary
Arthur Morgan was a monster.
He had known it since he was just a boy, long before Dutch and Hosea swept him off the streets in the wake of his father’s death. He had known it since before Hosea had taught him his letters and Dutch had honed Arthur’s nasty quickdraw into a deadly accurate shot. He had known it before he ran with the gang, his ever-growing family, killing and robbing and tearing their way through the world in the hopes of a better life.
No, Arthur Morgan was a monster because, physically, he was.
