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
“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
Abigail Roberts is a seventeen-year-old prostitute when she first joins the gang. She falls in love with a rough-and-tumble man with dark hair and eyes like coalsmoke, lighting up the dark. At eighteen, she has his child. At nineteen, he abandons her. At twenty, he comes back, but he won’t look her in the eye anymore.
Abigail is a twenty-two-year-old ex-prostitute and outlaw, desperate to build some sort of life for her little boy. The gang’s been on the run since Blackwater. Jack is her whole world. She’s exhausted and stressed out and miserable, and having to see John Marston’s stupid, scarred-up face at camp doesn’t make her feel any better, even though she keeps trying.
(aka an introspective look into Abigail's life, closely following the canon of the game except I turned John's "pathetic wife guy" energy all the way up for self-indulgent and romantic reasons)
