Summary
Arthur Morgan died in 1899 after being betrayed by his supposed father figure and saving John Marston and his family. For his honorable road in life, he was sent back in time to the beginning of Red Dead Redemption 2. Knowing who Dutch really is, Arthur, free from TB, sets out on a journey to save as many people as he could, and perhaps even gain something new along the way...
This is my reasoning to write time traveling Arthur. I'm surprised by the lack of him time traveling fics. Taking him from Chapter 6 to Chapter 1 or even 2 presents so many opportunities. You have an Arthur who broke free of his indoctrination to Dutch and has been humbled by TB and blind loyalty. You take him to the beginning of the end, and you have a very good concept. Additionally, I feel like too many fics are too nice to Dutch. He has to take personal responsibility for Blackwater and all of the fuck ups that he'd made, something I doubt he would. He is extremely egoistical. He’s always right no matter what. That’s why he views the people who question his "morals" (or lack thereof) as “traitors” (Arthur and John) and people who follow him blindly as “loyal” (Micah, Bill, and Javier).

Summary
When Javier Escuella died in 1911, he died a regretful man. Instead of being sent to the eternal prison of agony he'd deserved, Javier wished he could have made up for his mistakes and not leave his brothers to die. Fate granted him a second chance, and he was sent back to Colter, having to stand by the men he'd betrayed...
The reasoning for this fic. The problem with Javier, he'd absorbed Dutch's teachings too blindly to be his own man, becoming a blind follower when he could be so much more. He'd made excuses for Dutch and Micah in Blackwater, betraying his brothers when they'd needed him. I do believe he could have been saved because he didn't want to fight or kill John, even when he was down in RDR1, unlike Dutch. I imagine he's quite deadly in RDR1, a cold killer and one of the best bounty hunters at that time.

Summary
John Marston was gunned down by Agent Ross and the Army. Deep down, he knew it always would end like this. But imagine his surprise when he reawoke in 1899; on a mountain on top of a long dead horse, in a younger body once more. Nothing will be the same after this. Many surprises await the entire gang.
