Summary
The world is changing, too quickly for me, I'm afraid. It's silly, really, but I cannot seem to shake this heartache. Might as well add it to the rest. What's one more thing to grieve over, compared to the rest of it? If there's one bright, good thing I look forward to, it's him, though he doesn't know how I feel. Dr. Balfour thinks I ought to tell Charles how I feel, but I can't face it. I took a chance on love once and it cut me clean in two. I cannot do it again.

Summary
When Arthur finds a hut with a bubbling caldron of mysterious liquid inside, his curiosity overpowers his better sense. After taking a drink, Arthur passes out, only to wake up in the spring of 1897. Sitting by his bedside is Eliza, with a ring on her finger and Isaac alive and well. Eliza - the strange liquid seems to have transported him to a different life. What could have been. But Arthur's memories of events that have passed, or more accurately, are yet to come, are still present. He must choose between a family he has no memory of, or trying to find and save the gang from events that will send them on the road to ruin.
To a man who is loyal to what matters, which matters most?

Summary
"You're wrong, Mister Morgan, but it's not for the first time. There's plenty about you worth admiring. Some parts of you demand it, even." Charles whispers, his hand ghosting down Arthur's chest, over the soft expanse of his belly, just ghosting over the outline of his cock. Just enough pressure applied to draw out a gasp, a breathy sound, fine as goose down.
Charles brings his hand back to Arthur's face, cupping his cheek and holding Arthur's gaze with his own.
"Your eyes, for a start."

A tumblr request from anon asking for Charles admiring the colors in Arthur's eyes, with lots of fluff and happiness, because our boys deserve it.

Summary
"Tell me you don’t want it, Arthur. Just once. Just for one night, why can’t we have what was taken from us? Haven’t we given enough? Wasted enough time?” Mary releases her hold on Arthur’s arm, only to cradle his face in both of her hands. She traces her thumb over his cheek, delighting in the flush that blooms across his skin. Arthur swallows thickly, lips parted, pupils blown in an expression Mary knows from her years as a wife. Arthur has to close his eyes again before he can speak, voice pained.
“Nothin’s changed, Mary. I ain’t changed, nor have you. The problems are still there and they ain’t goin’ away, you know that. What good would it do? What’s the point of it all? Of lettin’ ourselves have that, only to lose it?”
“It’s already lost, Arthur. I just want one night with you; I can’t watch you leave again, not without a piece of you to take with me. Please, Arthur, just one night. Forget the rest of it, all of it."

Summary
“D’ya hear what I said, Charles?” Arthur’s turned to face Charles and they’re close enough that Charles can smell the rum and cigarettes on the other man’s breath. They’re close enough that their knees are touching and Charles feels like his entire world has narrowed to that single point of contact.
“‘Course I did, Arthur. You said I was large, like a bear.”
Arthur’s face falls in a comical way and Charles has to bite his cheek to keep from laughing at him.
“No, no, not jus-- I didn’t mean it like that”, Arthur huffs and looks away from Charles. He seems to crestfallen over something, but Charles can’t work out what he could have missed.
Swallowing thickly, Charles lets go of the front of Arthur’s shirt, only to use that hand to gently turn his cheek so they’re face to face again. He leaves his fingers there, his thumb gently rubbing the stubble that’s grown in after a few days without shaving.
“Tell me what you meant then, Arthur.” Charles’ voice is soft, sultry in a way that he knows makes women and girls blush and giggle. He’s tried it on a few men in his time, but the results are nowhere near as consistent. He has no way of knowing how Arthur himself will react to it.
