Summary
Arthur Morgan died in 1899 after being betrayed by his supposed father figure and saving John Marston and his family. For his honorable road in life, he was sent back in time to the beginning of Red Dead Redemption 2. Knowing who Dutch really is, Arthur, free from TB, sets out on a journey to save as many people as he could, and perhaps even gain something new along the way...
This is my reasoning to write time traveling Arthur. I'm surprised by the lack of him time traveling fics. Taking him from Chapter 6 to Chapter 1 or even 2 presents so many opportunities. You have an Arthur who broke free of his indoctrination to Dutch and has been humbled by TB and blind loyalty. You take him to the beginning of the end, and you have a very good concept. Additionally, I feel like too many fics are too nice to Dutch. He has to take personal responsibility for Blackwater and all of the fuck ups that he'd made, something I doubt he would. He is extremely egoistical. He’s always right no matter what. That’s why he views the people who question his "morals" (or lack thereof) as “traitors” (Arthur and John) and people who follow him blindly as “loyal” (Micah, Bill, and Javier).
