    Summary

    You don’t usually venture into any of the spaces filled with men and unnatural moonlight, and you know the beasts with the two big glowing moons in their roaring faces are dangerous. But the beast you come across tonight is stilled, and is only accompanied by a single man. The beast’s moons have been darkened, a strange ticking emitting from its mouth as it sits in wait with the man.

    The man is brazenly perched on top of his beast’s strange snout. Smoke curls into the night air on some of the man’s exhales. The pups at your back shy nervously away at the thought of fire burning inside a man, but you see the burning thing is actually in the man’s paw. Your fear is the healthy wariness of men, nothing so deep-rooted and powerful as the fear of fire.

    Modern Van der Linde gang AU: You are the coyote that gave John Marston his scars. That's it. That's the whole premise.

    Summary

    “Very prepared man, aren’t you?” Arthur asked, looking into Charles’ brown eyes. Looking at him felt the same as that very night. Calm, quiet, gentle, warm.
    A warm breeze passed over the pair of men as they looked at one another. Charles nodded, walking to Taima and securing his bedroll to the saddle.
    “Would you…” Charles started softly, weakly. “Would you like to go hunting with me?”
    Arthur thought for a moment. “I wouldn’t mind.”
    It was what he needed, really. Some real time away from camp. Charles wasn’t bad company.

    Summary

    If he was being honest with himself, which he usually tried to be, than he was perhaps treating this feller with a bit more kindness than usual because he was attractive. Charles wasn't stupid enough to act on it. It was just as he'd thought earlier - they were strangers, they knew nothing of each other, and the world was a dangerous place. But he also wasn't one to turn away from a nice view just because it was tempting. Especially when said view was only temporary. It was best to enjoy these things while he still could. He could handle the temptation just fine, even if this feller was handsome and good to his horses and had a charming drawl that twanged against Charles' heartstrings.

    A retelling of the events of RDR2 from Charles Smith's point-of-view. Heavy on the soft cowboys and introspection. Currently in Horseshoe Overlook.

    Summary

    Charles was by no means a good man. Being a bounty hunter was a sick irony that the universe had cast upon him. Being a sinner, pretending to be a saint. Yet, when given a bounty by a Mr. Dutch Van der Linde to hunt down an old associate, Charles discovers not a hardened master-mind of a criminal, but a father trying to raise his son.

    ---------------

    AU where the Blackwater robbery was successful, but Arthur steals some of the money to save his son, John, and John's family. Charles is given a bounty to hunt him down and return the man to his leader, who he once considered his father.
