Aethyr
By @Littlest Stitches
Amidst the dying embers of the Old West, Arthur Morgan, a hardened outlaw of the Van der Linde gang, unexpectedly finds himself with a newborn in his arms. Rescuing Mary Linton's child, Aethyr, from abandonment, he claims her as his own, a silent pact formed under the harsh prairie moon. This unexpected fatherhood forces Arthur to confront the brutal realities of his life, a life perpetually on the run, forever shadowed by Pinkertons and rival gangs. Every dusty trail, every whispered threat, every moral compromise now carries the unbearable weight of Aethyr's future. Can a man steeped in violence truly raise a child in a world determined to break them both? Or will the very love he feels become their ultimate undoing, pulling Aethyr deeper into the cycle of lawlessness and despair that defines his existence?
