    Summary

    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.

    -

    John forces Arthur to keep on living. Even acts of love come with consequences.

    Summary

    Arthur knows he isn’t coming out of Beaver Hollow alive.

    The writing has been on the wall for weeks, since before Guarma, even. They’re done, the whole lot of them. Best he can hope for is to get out those still left who still have lives worth living—John, Abigail, Jack, Tilly, Sadie. For the rest of them, for himself, Dutch, Micah, Bill, even Javier if he continues to hold tight to that misplaced faith in Dutch, the only thing left to answer is how bloody it’ll get before they go.

    Still, he might’ve had a chance at convincing Dutch that Micah had ratted them out if John hadn’t shown up. Might’ve actually wanted to convince Dutch up until now. But, then, John Marston always did have the worst timing.

    Summary

    “It is a ‘we’ thing, son,” Dutch continued, “For you are all mine, under my wing. My men and my women, by the same token that The Count is my horse and ‘The American Inferno’ is my book and the clothes on my back are mine. And every man may do as he pleases with that which belongs to him, including giving it to others as he sees fit.” 

    “I’m not followin’, Dutch,” Arthur gritted out; though he very much was following, eyes now firmly fixated on Micah, whose expression told him that the man himself knew Arthur was, in fact, following. Still, he taunted him.

    “I knew you was dumber than a bag of rocks, Morgan, though even you must keep up with such a simple concept."

    Summary

    Arthur doesn't do well with change. Small changes he can handle, but large ones have always knocked him a little off kilter. Usually he can adjust, given enough time - get his footing back and walk it off.

    But not this time.
