   Summary

   {{Cannon Divergent. Chapter 3ish.}}
   {{Arthur Morgan/Albert Mason}}
   {{Old West Yaoi Men.}}
   {{I wrote this for the smut, but ... this slow burn burnt me}}

   Nothing burns faster than love on a timeline. It will flash, torching everything and anything that it can. Kindness can only be offered, and when accepted, what is returned would be something even stronger. The ticking that resounded in the quiet moments did not muffle with the few moments of hope to make it out of this life.

   This is a story of another timeline, one that Arthur tried to dream. Allowed to feel Kindness, something Dutch had assured him wasn't meant for men like them.

   What would Arthur do when the timer runs out? And what would that leave Albert with?

   {{ I suck at summaries}}

   Is there an Epilog in the works?
