    Summary

    But, the more she felt, the stronger the longing got.

    Summary

    Arthur Morgan had been with the Van der Linde gang for just shy of eight years, and his loyalty to those who gave him refuge and purpose was not to be questioned. After sneaking out of Chicago following havoc they may have inadvertently caused, the gang move from bustling Illinois to the prairie fields of northern Kansas and are in need of money. Looking for honest work to keep his hands clean as a newcomer of the state, Arthur gets a job at Old Stone Ranch, owned by one esteemed but avaricious and dour entrepreneur and businessman, Henry Gillis. What Arthur soon learns is that the ranch is a family business set to pass down to Gillis’ eldest child, Mary, who Arthur takes a liking to. As the duo from two different worlds get closer and closer, Arthur is forced to reflect on where his loyalties lie: can he fight and change for the woman he loves despite all odds, or continue giving in to the outlaw life he has been moulded to fit into?

    Or: An interpreted story on how Arthur and Mary met, fell in love and ultimately fell apart.

    Summary

    It was almost nine years ago, and John Marston had found acceptance in Arthur being gone, despite what he initially believed as him having accepted it already. But it didn’t stop him from thinking about the man who saved him and his family; it likely never would. It didn’t stop him from feeling a gnaw ache in his heart, sore enough for him to lightly tug onto it through his vest. For a time when John wanted no involvement in any conversation surrounding Arthur, that he was gone and that there was nothing more to it - perhaps he was more so trying to convince someone else of that notion rather than his wife and son.

    Or: John goes to visit Arthur's grave as usual, only to see a familiar face standing before his grave. The two reconnect and have a heart-to-heart over their mutual loss.
