    Summary

    He’d learned of her death on the back of Arthur’s horse, fresh from Sisika and asking after his family, not knowing it would break his heart.

    “Oh, John…” Arthur had sighed, low and sad and chalky with startling illness. “Abby never came back from Saint Denis.”

    He and Jack had ditched the gang near as soon as John could get off his prison suit. But the terrible heartbreak— Arthur’s sad, sallow face, and the headstones of their three lost members (only two staked above bodies)— had lingered with him ever since. Arthur was long dead now, if the papers told it true. And so, he thought, was Abigail.

    John has been living quietly with his son for years now, thinking the two of them all that was left of their family. Some bounty hunters passing through town thoroughly dismantle those beliefs.

    [Or, a role reversal AU in which Abigail is the one sent after Dutch, Bill, and Javier, having been arrested during the bank robbery in Saint Denis]

    Summary

    John rides out to Valentine with a small herd of sheep to sell. He expects to lose a straggler or two, miss his family, and make less money than he hopes he will.

    He doesn't expect to be recognised.

    And he certainly doesn't expect to get shot.

     

    ~
     

    There was no strength in him. He sure as shit didn’t want to ride into his own ranch on the back of Abigail’s horse, slung over the old mare like some bounty hunter’s prize, but even now darkness pulsed at the edges of his sight. He swallowed hard against rising bile. He didn’t say no, unable to admit to that weakness, but Abigail didn’t need to hear it. She knew.

    “Rest, John.” She kissed his fevered brow. Then, her voice back to its usual bluntness, she added, “And try not to fall off, you damn fool.”

    Summary

    Jack Marston is dead. He did not live the life his mother had wished for him the moment he drew his gun on Ross, and a part of him feels bad.
    But now he finds that Hell is a mild, cloudless day that is suspiciously like earth, and even more suspiciously like the Wild West.

    ---
    John Marston was shot to death by the Pinkertons outside his barn, never to reconcile with his son, falling right into the fate Arthur had tried so very hard to steer him away from. He wishes he could have done something differently, that things wouldn't have ended up so terribly in the end.
    Unfortunately for him, that means getting mauled by wolves all over again, it seems. But this time, he will not mess things up.

    Summary

    John sleeps on the floor.

     

    After the party. After the ride from Saint Denis. After running, frantic and sick to his stomach, through that maze of a cemetery, Arthur steady and calm by his side, revolvers in their hands.

     

    After sitting in that fancy parlour, looking that snake Bronte right in the eyes, and doing everything in his power not to jump over the table and throttle the son of a bitch until he gave Jack up.

     

    After all of it, deep in the night, John sleeps on the floor.

     

     

    At Shady Belle, John reflects and remembers and has a few revelations. Better late than never.

    Summary

    Jack isn’t a baby anymore. He notices things. Notices how worried Momma always looks. Notices how tired Pa is at the end of the day. Notices how they take turns in not having dinner, saying things like ‘I’ll eat later with your pa’ or ‘I had a big lunch’ or ‘I had dinner with the fellas at work’. Notices how thin they’re getting.

    He decides to do something about it.

    Summary

    One night after finding himself unable to sleep, Jack finds his Pa stargazing outside. They have a heat-to-heart (or at least, as close to one as a man can have with a four-year-old). Abigail is charmed, and just a little bit surprised by the development.

    Summary

    “There. We’ve decorated.” He said plainly.

    Stelle gasped in mock offense, staring around the room wildly. “One decoration is not a complete décor! You have to pick something else.”

    “Alright then.” He said. The next least-offensive thing he could find was the little vial of particles. He picked it up, and placed it next to the statue. “One more thing.”

    Stelle shook her head. “Who knew you could be so cheeky.”


    Sunday becomes part of the family, one piece at a time.

    Summary

    Welt huffed, “What can we even do about it? We’re not their parents, Himeko.” He gently reminded her.

    “But we’re all they have,” She insisted, taking her cup of coffee and bringing it up to her lips, “What else can we do other than try to be there for them?”

    Another sigh, “I… I guess so. I suppose there is no harm in hugging them every once in a while.”

    Himeko let out a giggle, “Ah, Welt, you act as if you don’t adore those three. You and I know that you love them as if they were your own.”

    Four times Himeko and Welt noticed something was wrong with the other members of the Astral Express, and how they helped them feel a bit more at ease.

    Summary

    They rescued him from the upside-down. Now, they need to hide him from the world.

    A few months before the final ordeal, a miracle happened in the depths of the Upside Down: Eddie Munson breathed. Nobody knows how. Nobody knows why. But Steve Harrington carried him out, and now he's Hawkins' most dangerous secret.

    Hidden away in Steve and Robin's apartment, Eddie recovers from injuries that should have been fatal at an alarming rate. While the military Quarantine Zone surrounds the city and Vecna plans his next move, the small group must deal not only with the external threat, but with an internal ghost: keeping Eddie safe.

    ‘Dan Heng,

    Here are my lecture notes and discussion notes from this morning’s class. I’ve also already posted the readings and homework on the course website as well, so you can have those ready for next class. Feel free to contact me again if you have any questions.’

    ‘Is everything going okay outside of class? It seems as though this insomnia is getting worse. Have you considered speaking to someone about it? Or at least consulting with the University’s medical staff? I’m also willing to lend an ear if need be.

    Doctor Murata'

    -

    Or, Himeko tries to help Dan Heng out in her class. That proves to be a more involved process than she expected.
