He’d tried, in the end, he really had. And it had been hard; so damn hard. Would’ve been so much easier to crawl off into the woods like a dying dog and let himself be reclaimed by the wilderness. But, getting them folks out, sending them to safety, doing his best to protect them from the Pinkertons and Dutch’s lunacy and that rat…

For maybe the first time in his life, there was no doubt in his mind about what was right or wrong, good or evil. He just knew.

The sunlight warms his face, and he smiles.

But then he hears footsteps.

-

Meanwhile, Charles Smith can’t stop looking back at the mountains to the south, and wondering what it means to be home.

He was floating in and out of consciousness, waiting for the moment he didn’t wake up again. But it didn’t come, instead, the sound of snow crunching underfoot came. Arthur hoped it would be Micah, coming to finish what he started.

He didn’t get what he hoped for, but perhaps it was something better.

It was a simple enough question with two equally simple answers… So why couldn’t Charles answer 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?”

The Van der Linde Gang has gotten out for good, settling down on a homestead in the West. They’re changed, all of them, and not being on the run means that they don’t have to struggle for food anymore.

Arthur deals with the way his body has changed since settling down. Charles doesn’t mind the change one bit - he’s changed, too.

Arthur knew he was dying, but still, a small smile played on his lips as he thought of what he’d been able to do in his final days and hours. He’d tried his best to be a good man, in the end; to help those who needed helping, to try to undo some of the bad things he’d done in his life, to stand up to Dutch when he lost his way and became someone that Arthur didn’t recognise anymore. But most importantly of all, he’d done everything possible to help the people he loved.

Arthur waits to die on a cold, Ambarino mountain, but he didn’t figure on a best friend with a gut feeling he refused to ignore. Given an unexpected second chance, Arthur has to think about moving on from his past, and living a different kind of life.

Drunken Neighbor

Words: 658

Rating: T

Relationships: Viggo/Hiccup

Summary: Viggo wakes up to the sound of his drunk neighbor trying to get into his apartment

Notes: Based on the prompt: “There’s some scratching at my door and I’m scared, but in the end it’s just my drunk neighbor trying to open the wrong door, hey buddy your apartment is down the hall!” from this prompt list

*****

Viggo hears the scratching in the middle of the night like a key trying to make its way into a lock with the occasional ka-thump-thump of off beat steps and a body clumsily hitting any surface in its path. It goes on long enough to drag him out of the warmth of his covers so he can investigate. This neighborhood hardly has a problem with burglars, but that doesn’t mean it’s out of the realm of possibility.

The scratching continues and as he gets closer to the front door there’s the addition of mumbled swears after each fumble. Viggo looks through the peephole to get an idea of what he’s dealing with. He’s fairly confident he can handle whoever may be on the other side, especially in his irate state, yet he takes the precaution just in case. What he sees is a mess of auburn hair blocking most of the view.

It’s a familiar mess, one that Viggo has wanted to get his hands into for several weeks, now; ever since his newest neighbor has proven to be an intelligent and witty young man. He grins, irritation washing away, and opens the door wide enough to have the auburn haired youth nearly falling into his chest.
