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).

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.”

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
The first four years of Lizzie Morgan's life were quiet and safe. But then the bad men came and with two gun shots, Lizzie's world was forever changed.
Hiding beneath the floorboards of a once loving but now empty home, is where her Daddy finds her, weeks later, all alone aside from the family cat and starving.
Without any other choice available to him, Arthur Morgan takes her with him, to live amongst the van der Linde gang.
Amongst a family of outlaws, Lizzie will learn what it means to be loyal to what matters.
A series of one-shots/ficlets revolving around the idea of Arthur having a daughter (who is the surviving twin sister of his son Isaac) who lives with him and the van der Linde gang. The stories will span from years before RDR2 on-wards and after the events of RDR
