Summary
At this moment, Arthur felt exposed. Vulnerable. Shadowed by Death himself.
“Look, I’m sorry for being a bit of an ass to you,” he began, “Listen, I-I’ve been spending my days trying to make amends. Trying to do good even if it’s all gonna amount to nothing. All my life, I’d robbed, shot, ran from the Pinkertons…hid from the law, hell, did you know that I damned myself by beating a dying man inside his own ranch for a few bucks?”
Or the good old "Arthur has been away for days and Charles comes across him" interaction, except it's in Chapter 6.

Summary
She has never done this. Has avoided it at all costs. Because she is unfit, she tells herself. Her hands are made for firearms and filing office paperwork, not soothing fussy babies. Her edges are too sharp, too jagged to provide comfort to anyone. She is scarred and bloodied and barely knows the love of a mother herself.
But the baby wails, pleading.
Written for Royai Week 2024, Day 2: Appreciate

At the edge of the sea, where the sun plays tricks on white hair, Himmel makes a simple observation: Frieren will never grow old.
..."Do you ever think of death?"
"I think of yours."

I wish we could’ve seen more of Arthur Morgan recovering post-BATPM.

Summary
What of the gnawing in thine holy gut, the rage clawing up thine throat? A great weight, inclined to tip the scales once more. Which way shalt thou cast it?
When you had nothing else, caged in darkness, you learned to cultivate your anger like the finest of crops. And yet there seems to be so little for you to reap.
The Nightsong is no more and Dame Aylin is returned to her most holy duties. Isobel Thorm is free of her grave. How they handle their past, present, and future is, perhaps, up to them.
