Summary
Arthur had thought surviving tuberculosis would be the hard part. Instead, recovery itself turns out to be a gauntlet of exhaustion, insecurity, and the lingering fear that he's become a burden to the man he loves. Yet as his confidence slowly returns, so does his hope for a future he once thought impossible—one he'll ask Charles to share forever.
With the end of a hard road in sight, Arthur Morgan once again allows himself to dream of marriage.

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.
(A cowboy's practical guide to time-travel, adolescent social services, and falling in love)

Summary
This is the home for all my fics that take place in the same Fix-It/Canon-Divergence universe that is established in Identity Beyond the Grave. That fic is strictly Charles Smith POV so in this series you'll find POV from other characters, and scenes that didn't quite fit the tone of the main chapters they were plucked from.
Generally, these can be read standalone because they take place in the "canon" universe of the game and should therefore be easy to jump into, but they're written to all take place with the same versions of the characters.

Summary
“Maybe I need lessons in the more gentle arts,” Arthur murmurs, laying the flat of his hand on Charles’s stomach. “How to treat a lady, and such.”
Mouth parting so slightly, Charles’s brow crumples in sweet confusion. “What for?”
“So I know—” Thrill zinging down his spine to feel Charles’s humid breath across his lips, Arthur doesn’t so much kiss him as touch their mouths together. “—how to treat you.”

Summary
Inside Matthews & Sons, Charles had to take a moment to orient himself. To the right, shelves of tools and the curled forms of tractor and lawnmower belts. To the left, household cleaning supplies and small necessities like pencils, thumbtacks, and cup hooks. Just next to the store’s center aisle was the register. It was situated atop a massive U-shaped counter with a glass display case full of dusty old pocket knives and knickknacks. Bird houses and weather vanes were hanging from the ceiling beams behind the counter. Some of them appeared to be handmade. The shelf nearest the register was filled with canned goods that had near-identical printed brown labels from some place called ‘Susan’s Kitchen’. A soft thumping noise drew Charles’ gaze back down, to where a dark gray dog with black spotting was lying on a buffalo-plaid printed bed. He had his brown eyes trained on Charles and his tail was smacking a steady rhythm against the floor.
Modern/90s AU: The Matthews-Van der Linde family own and operate the feed store in Valentine, Montana. Title from Bruce Springsteen's "Promised Land".

It's all up from there.

Summary
The heavy bass is making the oil-puddles shiver. Arthur leans against the wall, watching with a lazy eye as the puddles of filthy, iridescent water dance. Lines of neon jittering across their surface, pounding in time with the music, some garbage iridium synth track with too many drops that makes the whole alley vibrate, reverberating in his cyberware.
It sure as shit ain't good music, but the club is eating it up. Arthur supposes he should just be glad that he's not inside. He leans back, fitting his cigarette to his lips. A slow drag in, and then out.
Arthur holds his cigarette out - offering.
Eyes flick his way, glowing gold in the dark. His companion tilts his head, a silent refusal.
