    Summary

    “You get ten seconds,” said Milton. “Ten… nine…”
    Hosea could glimpse movement from inside the bank. Bill rushing to the back of the room. Dutch handing the saddlebag over his shoulder off to Micah.
    “Eight… seven… six…”
    For as long as he had known him, Hosea had known Dutch’s greatest strength and his greatest failing to be one and the same. He was willing to do anything.
    “Five… four…”
    What would be the consequence this time? What new direction would Dutch send the gang spinning off in? Hosea couldn’t predict it. He never could.
    “Three… two…”
    When it came down to the wire, when all other options were exhausted, when lives were on the line, what would Dutch van der Linde do?
    “One.”

    A what-if alternate universe in which Hosea survives the St. Denis bank robbery, lives to see the downward spiral of the gang, and knows he has to do something.

    Summary

    Inside Matthews & Sons, Charles had to take a moment to orient himself. To the right, shelves of tools and the curled forms of tractor and lawnmower belts. To the left, household cleaning supplies and small necessities like pencils, thumbtacks, and cup hooks. Just next to the store’s center aisle was the register. It was situated atop a massive U-shaped counter with a glass display case full of dusty old pocket knives and knickknacks. Bird houses and weather vanes were hanging from the ceiling beams behind the counter. Some of them appeared to be handmade. The shelf nearest the register was filled with canned goods that had near-identical printed brown labels from some place called ‘Susan’s Kitchen’. A soft thumping noise drew Charles’ gaze back down, to where a dark gray dog with black spotting was lying on a buffalo-plaid printed bed. He had his brown eyes trained on Charles and his tail was smacking a steady rhythm against the floor.

    Modern/90s AU: The Matthews-Van der Linde family own and operate the feed store in Valentine, Montana. Title from Bruce Springsteen's "Promised Land".

    Summary

    ‘Papa’ Bronte had given Jack two pairs of slippers. A toy box, a library of books. The road to Shady Belle rumbles with the warning growl of alligators, the city smog drifting far across the river, and Arthur has to wonder if they have actually rescued him at all.

     

    Spanning 'The Joys of Civilisation' and 'Angelo Bronte, Man of Honour', plus the stranger mission 'Help a Brother Out', Arthur is introduced to the wonders of Saint Denis, and Jack is returned home.
