Summary
If this were a different story, Zack thinks, he would be using his last moments to remember kind, green eyes and a sweet smile. He would be staring out into the raining sky, life running out of him, while making peace with the fact that he would never see his first love again. If this were a different story, Zack would not be left empty-handed, crying out as his friend stumbles away into the remnants of a battlefield. He would not be praying for that blond head to turn, aching to capture the final sight of a cherished face before locking it behind two lids.
No, this does not feel like a fitting end to this story at all―and Zack overflows with the one childish thought that this is unbearably unfair. In the rare moments that he, as any soldier must, contemplated his death, he never imagined that he would die alone.

Me? I do a little bit of everything. Let’s mosey! SOLDIER First Class…
He knows whose words these are, knows whom he evokes.

Say it, Charles. Say it’s Love. by knivesintheirfeet

Summary
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Arthur Morgan is furiously, foolishly in love with his dearest friend. But is it really possible that Charles Smith loves him back? (Yes. Yes it is.)
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Charles parts his lips just a moment and Arthur goes limp. It ain't right. Charles ain’t kissing back. Arthur opens his eyes and Charles’ are blown wide. His lips ain’t parted in invitation, but surprise. Arthur’s an idiot. Got this all wrong.
“Forgive me.”
Charles is looking at Arthur, taking in his pale pink face and his petal thin skin. The dark circles around his bloodshot eyes. Charles huffs softly, and his lips pick up in the most infinitesimal smile. His gaze drops to Arthur’s lips.
He’s gonna kiss me.
“No.” Arthur jerks away. Not like this.Charles pities him. Gonna give him what he wants because he’s a damned man. Give a dying man an IOU; he ain’t gonna ever collect. But Arthur ain’t dead yet. He’d have to live knowing he weren’t really wanted. Loved, sure, but not the way Arthur aches to be loved.
Just once in his life.

Summary
Charles has shared more than he is used to with Arthur and, in turn, Arthur has done the same. Charles knows Arthur loves Hosea and Dutch like his fathers, John like his brother. He knows Arthur has had his heart broken in the past, even if he doesn’t know by who. He knows he wears his hat like a suit of armour and tugs it down whenever he’s feeling vulnerable.
He knows his journal is his most prized possession.
So the first time Arthur leaves his journal in plain view of Charles, it stumps him a bit.
--- OR: ---
6 times Charles gets a glimpse inside Arthur's journal, and 1 time he gets to read it all.

Summary
A late night hunt goes awry when Arthur and Charles are chased across the tracks cutting through the border of the Heartlands and Lemoyne, when a ghostly train barrels right into, or rather, through them. Somehow, they find themselves separated and ten years in the past.
Arthur finds himself looking after a teenage Charles, who's more of an angry, scrawny kitten than the calm, skillful hunter he knows so well.
On the other end, Charles comes face to face with a young Arthur who is smug, cocky, and a flirt.
(A cowboy's practical guide to time-travel, adolescent social services, and falling in love)
