Summary
The wind drops, suddenly, and the swirls of billowing snow settle between them slowly. Arthur squints as the figure becomes more defined, familiar but… not.
Wrong.
John Marston stands at the top of the crest of the mountain covered in snow and blood. There’s a dead wolf pelt with the head still attached wrapped around his neck and shoulders and he drags two more by the tail behind him. Four violent gashes cut through his cheek and up over his nose.
It’s hard to tell how much of the blood is his and how much is from the wolves.
“The hell, Marston?! You kill those with your bare hands?” Javier demands, looking shocked.
John makes a face that might be intended to be a grin but it’s all teeth. It makes the cuts on his face weep and Arthur feels himself wince in sympathy. Those must be painful.
“I had a knife.”
Or
John closes his eyes on Beechers Hope and opens them to teeth at his throat.

Summary
“Morning, Arthur.” Abigail greets him with a soft smile, and he manages a somewhat thin one in response as he sits beside her. There’s something knowing in her gaze and she puts down the yarn, rising to her feet and offering his shoulder a gentle squeeze. “I’ll grab you some coffee.” She offers and he nods in thanks, not quite able to finds words yet.
The view out the kitchen window is gray, the sky overcast and dull. The trees around the barn are dropping the last of their leaves, the golds and reds of Autumn fading to brown and rust. It’s an appropriate reflection of how he feels; worn and brittle and faded.
OR
Arthur tries to mope, but his family is having none of it.

Summary
Poly-Am Party Week Fic!
Inside the saloon, he’s immediately aware that something is off. It’s as loud and chaotic as any bar he’s ever been in, with local men arguing over drinks or flirting with the resident working girls, but there’s also an obvious bubble of space that no one’s entering near one corner of the room.
A corner where John is sat, fiddling with something on his wrist and looking annoyed.
Arthur sighs and heads for the younger man.
“What’d ya do?” He asks, dropping to sit across from the man and swiping the remains of his beer.
OR
John's mind is just one big dirty minefield.

Summary
The first time he sees Abigail, she’s sitting perched on a bright red vinyl booth seat dressed in cut-off shorts that are so short he can see the curve of her ass cheeks and wearing a cropped pink tee that proudly proclaims SAVE A HORSE, RIDE A COWBOY.
She’s smiling, a bright open grin that lights up the room as she accepts a beer from a blushing waiter that John is immediately and overwhelmingly jealous of.
Sean, the bastard that’s dragged him along that evening, skips past him to sit in the booth behind her.
“Abi! My love, I brought you a present!”

Summary
Arthur doesn’t notice that something’s wrong with John until they get back from Guarma. That occasional cough he’s been hearing from the other man has developed into something wet and thick.
A coda to Sunset in Purgatory - the one where John has Tuberculosis.

Summary
In another timeline, Shane and Ilya hook up in Room 1410, Ilya slips out unnoticed, and they spend the next seven years trapped in the situationship from hell we all know and love.
In this one, Yuna Hollander walks in just as Ilya goes to leave and—through the combined power of misunderstanding, miscommunication, and a frankly alarming lack of follow-up—Shane and Ilya start dating in 2010.
Given the chance to grow up with rather than against each other, Shane and Ilya build a life thats steadier, safer, and far less frightening than their canon. Their rivalry fizzles before it ever has the chance to fully ignite, replaced by hockey’s most beloved “bromance", and in 2015, they find the courage to do the one thing their canon counterparts never got to do: tell the NHL and the world.
There is just one problem: No one believes them.
OR: Despite Shane and Ilya being out for two years, Scott Hunter is still considered the first openly gay player in the NHL, much to Ilya’s indignation.

Summary
Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.
So. Not stealing.
But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?
Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.
Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.
