Summary
John smiles, too genuinely, as if Arthur's approval mattered to him.
Arthur's guts twist in a funny way.
"You know me, Art, always cautious," he boasts, lifting his chin, his smile turning into a cocky grin.
Arthur lets out a low laugh in response. "Yeah, exactly, I know you." The hint of sarcasm is perfectly heard and the younger man rolls his eyes, reminding him that he's still a damn teenager compared to the adult he claims to be.
Or
Arthur sees something he should never have seen.
And his reaction is, to say the least... unexpected.

Summary
When Arthur realized who it was, he wasted no time in standing up from the bushes and calling out "You planin' on making some fishes real happy Mr. Mason, or are you just taking a swim?"
"Mr. Morgan?!" Albert called out to him, a small smile creeping its way onto his lips.
"In the flesh." Arthur called back as he walked in long strides up to the drenched man, offering him a hand when he was close enough which Albert took with no hesitation. And without much effort, Albert was back on his feet. Taking a step back to create some space between them as his grip on his hat seemed to toughen.
"Say, what has captured your artistic eye this time? Bluegill?"
Arthur slowly begins to realize that he has grown quite fond of the silly photographer and doesn't know how to deal with those emotions. Struggling with internal conflict about his sexuality and the underlying pressure of his obligations to the gang, he feels like he's stuck in a dilemma, one he can't navigate on his own. Then as Albert's feelings towards him become apparent, he has to choose between standing firm or indulging in a sin he never knew he would be tempted by.

Summary
Arthur had kept that old, messy, desperate love locked away in a box that he’d carried with him for fifteen years. It’d be easy enough to pack all these renewed and powerful feelings in that same box of regrets. He’d done it before, and it might even help him focus on the gang’s troubling state of affairs.
However, he was quickly realizing it actually wasn’t that simple. When he woke up that morning - mouth dry, stomach sour, and head throbbing - he was still filled with the tempest of his own uncaged hopes and desires.
After spending the night together in Saint Denis, Arthur and Mary grapple with the implications of the promises they made and the consequences of the things they’d left unspoken.

Summary
Arthur Morgan was a man of many hats. Besides the worn and scuffed leather one that fixed itself permanently to his brow- he could wear the hat of the hunter, the fighter, the survivor, the killer even. Some hats he liked more than others, some did not fit him as well. Yet, throughout his three decades on this earth there was one hat that he never quite got a grasp on- not for any lack of trying. Yes, Arthur Morgan could be the hunter, fighter, survivor, killer, but he could never quite figure out how to be the lover.
Or, how Arthur Morgan realized he was worthy of love after a lifetime of thinking he was only good for killing.

Summary
The year is 1899, and the Wild West was at the brink of death. This seems like a good thing to you and the Bradley Bros. circus.
Due to your mentor, Margaret, constantly drilling in your head and making it a point to speak ill of outlaws and how civilization will prevail as it did in England.
Running from your own haunting past regarding a... unique community you use to be apart of. A traveling circus with a pretentious British man seemed the best fit for you and your mother with the limited options available.
Forced out of Blackwater, your circus heads to Valentine for a fresh start. One mistake ricocheting into a domino effect of pain, uprooting your entire life in a single night. Forced to start over again with the Van der Linde gang.
You are faced with your hardest act yet, an emotional tightrope.
Caught in a chaotic balancing act, you must choose: remain emotionally guarded and save yourself from heartbreak, or take a leap of faith and risk falling in love with a hardened outlaw? -

Summary
Arthur was always certain that he would die young. Perhaps from a bullet to the head, or a fall from a horse. Eventually, he would die in some stupid, ridiculous way, and no one would notice, let alone mourn him.
That was before he thought he couldn't change. Before *he* changed Arthur.
But before that happened, Arthur still had a long, painful road ahead of him. -
