The heat smacks like a punch. Adjusting his neckerchief over his nose, Arthur takes in the length of the road, disappearing into a red haze some hundred yards ahead. A peculiar, suggestive heaviness seems to linger, trapping the swooning stores, the hotel with its wrought balconies and flower baskets, the picket-fenced houses, in a sweet, oozing calm, as if they’ve been preserved in amber, sepia-toned and motionless. It’s quiet.

Spanning the three story missions ‘A Short Walk in a Pretty Town’, 'Blood Feuds, Ancient and Modern’, and 'The Battle of Shady Belle’, events in Scarlett Meadows come to a fatal head, and Arthur struggles to confront his own anger.

This isn’t the first time Arthur has thought about this. For the past few months, no matter where he is, his thoughts keep going back to images of Charles. They started out innocently enough, Charles laughing with their friends or him being sweet on his horse. But more recently, these images have shifted from the mundane to more provocative visuals.

His mind snaps out of its haze when he hears rustling coming from some bushes nearby. Before he can move, Charles’ figure comes out from behind some trees.

+ + +

Arthur can’t seem to get Charles out of his head and decides to do something about it.

There’s a beat of silence before Hosea speaks, worry leaking back into his voice, “Just you?”

Arthur tries not to sigh too loudly into the phone as he says “No, I was thinking about asking Charles if he’s busy. Getting some pizzas too, or something, I don’t know.”

“Good, that’s a good idea. Charles is good for you, Arthur. I like him.”

Arthur’s brows furrow and he stands up straighter at this, “Good for me? What’s that mean?”

arthur morgan is an art student at a community college when he gets flashes of something, of the past and camps and outlaws and everything in between. he thought it was just a trick or his brain, but when he gets coffee one night he finds himself meeting someone he swears he’s met before

past lifes. memories from your past life and soulmates and all that mushy stuff. his professor did tell him to quote ‘get in touch with your feelings’. the idea of two souls reincarnating over and over again through lifetimes and generations, touching and reaching, only for something bigger than the both of them to split them apart. it sounds like torture, and it sounds like something cheesy and disgusting. the thought of it grosses him out.

  because love is finicky and strange and painful. he’s seen it fall apart when his ma died that made his pa turn sour and corrupt. attaching yourself to someone and putting all of your heart knowing that if they leave, you will be ruined and into shambles. that trust feels terrifying, and arthur doesn’t do that. he’s already done it with mary, it all capsized and turned into nothing.

After his encounter with the O’Driscolls, Charles helps Arthur heal his bad shoulder with some stretches.

This involves Charles putting his hands on Arthur. A lot.

And Arthur is starting to wish the O’Driscolls had just finished him off, because it would’ve been less painful than the way his heart is currently trying to beat its way out of his chest.

Continuation/additional thoughts on previous AU (Link here) So happy so many people liked it!

So,Ethan and Mia just get used to the strange goth kids who end up near their house and they just think well it’s a small village right must not be stuff to do guess teens just hang out in the woods? Maybe?

Though they do go parent mode because these kids clearly don’t like the cold and bundle them up in woolly jumpers and scarfs…which leads to Alcina just staring at swarms of bugs…and woolly jumpers…because the girls really like them.

Mia also brings out embarrassing pictures of Ethan’s own punk phase to show the girls…that picture then goes missing.

Heisenberg *ranting about something*

One of the girls holding up picture of younger punk Ethan

Heisenberg:…I…wait what were we talking about again?

When game events start Ethan wonders into the castle, instead of getting attacked he gets surrounded by the girls and pushed into a safe room to hide. They’re basically sneaking him around the castle…and keep talking about their uncle? He’s not sure why? He’s really confused when he just gets shoved into the factory but he girls as they’re like ‘YOU LOST THIS UNCLE HEISENBERG’ …both men are super confused.

Also just the girls listening in to the meeting at the beginning via radio or something, all getting super exited when Mother Miranda tells Heisenberg he can Ethan, then when they hear the whole death chase just being like ‘Wow….uncle Heisenberg is really bad at flirting isn’t he?’

Also lastly just this

Chris*calling Ethan*: Just be on the look out for anything strange Ethan.

Ethan *On phone handing mug of tea to one of the girls whose playing with Rose* What do you mean strange Chris? I mean we’re int he middle of no where right there’s nothing even remotely dangerous anywhere near us right?

Chris:….

Chris:…ummmm yeah
