    I'm too tired for this shit. by

    Summary

    John Marston is ambushed by the Pinkertons and dies in 1911 after hunting down all his old gang members, not getting to finish the happy life with his family. Why then does he wake up in 1899 on Colter with Javier and Arthur rescuing him?

    It seems fate, or a more malevolent force, has given John a second chance and now he has to live among his familial ghosts as he figures out how he can fix it this time. But, people are getting concerned by his new behaviour- what's there to expect from a 39 year mind in a 26 year old body? Or more importantly, what's there to expect from a hardened man forced to live next to everybody who betrayed him?

     

    THIS IS JUST MY EXCUSE TO WRITE RDR 1 JOHN MARSTON, THE LOML. I wish the Van der Linde gang could have seen what a fucking force of nature he became- both as a mature man but also the fastest gunslinger in the west. Took down the rebellion in Mexico and all of Micah's gang in the mountains without batting an eye: he deserves MORE CREDIT.

    I'm not sure where I'm going to go with this because it's been a while since I've played either game but I hate mischaracterising Marston. If anybody has any advice, let me know.

    Summary

    "I have scars too." It's an offering, something small and fragile clasped in his palm. Bruce offers the hand holding the dangerous vulnerability of his life to Jason, waiting.

    Jason turns to look at Bruce over his shoulder, and Bruce sees the moment understanding fills the boy's eyes. Sometimes Jason acts too old for his age, filled with empathy beyond his years.

    He reaches out and accepts the small offering, holding it carefully in his own damaged hands.

    (The first time Bruce washes his son's hair.)

    Summary

    In the dim twilight, a heart-wrenching scene unfolds as Arthur, wounded and on the brink of death, finds solace in your arms. With his life slipping away, his eyes, heavy with sorrow, meet yours. Tears glisten in his weary gaze, tracing down his cheeks. His trembling hand brushes against your cheek, a tender caress that speaks of a lifetime of shared moments.

    Summoning his last reserves of strength, Arthur raises himself up, placing a gentle, lingering kiss on your cheek. Your foreheads touch, a silent exchange of love and a profound understanding that words could never capture. Each deep breath he takes carries the weight of finality.

    Summary

    The last shot is accompanied by the trail of a cry, shrill, angry, fearful. Arthur lowers his revolver. Blinks. Tongues at a bloody tooth from getting hit while strangling an O’Driscoll, spits red mucus onto one of the bodies on the floor.

    The crying starts up again, as if sensing Arthur’s confusion. For a moment, Arthur thinks it must be some poor lady these savages have taken alongside the house, but quickly knows it to be untrue. It’s too—wet, pointless in a way only the young can manage, knowing that something is wrong but not knowing what. Just a shout, not the bellowing anguish of someone who knows what god-awful situation they have been put in.

    “Christ,” he says, once, twice. “Christ.”

    or

    Arthur accidentally adopts a baby, and, despite his best judgement, ends up starting to raise him. He falls in love with Charles along the way.

    Summary

    Jack’s entire body lit on fire, because god fucking damnit it was Gabriel. His Gabriel. Gabe.

    Blood started rushing wildly through his entire body, so intensely he could practically feel his entire being shaking from it. His soul started singing, he felt like he was flying and falling at the same time.

    It’s him.

    He was so sure he had lost him. He had fought for him all these months, done terrible things in his name, desperately trying to atone for and process what happened to them.

    But.. he was right there. All this time he was still just there.

     

    Or: Jack goes back to Switzerland to find out what really happened during the explosion. It turns out the infamous explosion wasn’t anybody’s fault, at least no one from Overwatch’s. As fate would have it, the mysterious assassin Reaper is also there looking for answers.
