#always yes to vandermatthews

[outlawruben]

More Vandermatthews modern AU headcannons!

(Since y’all liked the last one)

Here you go @soullessni 🫶

Hosea is/was VERY good at skating (both roller and ice) and taught Dutch how to skate (that’s primarily what they did on dates)

Hosea LOVES ABBA. Dutch sometimes plays it on their speakers and Hosea can’t resist a dance because it’s ABBA. (Their favorites are Take a Chance on Me, or Why’d It Have to be Me?)

Hosea’s best era was the 70s and Dutch’s was the 80s.

Branching off of that; Hosea totally sported a short sleeved button up tucked into flared pants with white GoGo boots. Meanwhile Dutch totally had a mullet and mustache combo in the 80s. (He misses it) (yes this is in reference of what he canonically looks like in rdr2, I think what he currently looks like is similar to rdr1 Dutch)

Some of their dates back in the day consisted of:

Skating dates

Disco dates

Sight seeing

Bicycling/hiking

Museums

Dates they do nowadays (when they have time) :

Museums (still)

Going out to dinner (a classic)

Drag shows

Staying home with a movie/show

Karaoke bars (with friends too)

They met through Susan in 1979 (Dutch was 22 and Hosea was 33) (they did not expect to fall in love with each other)

Dutch asked Hosea out everyday until he finally said yes

They always used to have hour long conversations which was VERY expensive, and Dutch’s line would PILE UP with everyone trying to reach him.

Hosea is a white wine drinker and Dutch is a red wine drinker

Gazing longingly to each other is their love language. (Whether that is across the room/table/street you decide)

Their actual love languages are:

Hosea- Quality time, physical touch (especially receiving), acts of service

Dutch- WORDS OF AFFIRMATION (especially receiving) , physical touch, gift giving

Dutch used to idly twirl the phone cord while talking to Hosea (tell me he didn’t..)

Dutch only drinks coffee, but Hosea loves both coffee and tea equally

Dutch can’t cook but he has PERFECTED the way Hosea makes his coffee

They often visit each other’s lecture rooms/classrooms at work

Dutch delivered Hosea flowers to his house everyday while they were dating, and nowadays Dutch buys him some still every so often (Hosea would always play it cool around Dutch when brought up, but he was always giddy to see a new bouquet everyday on his doorstep)

Branching off that; Dutch would leave him little poetic lines clipped to the flower baskets. (Hosea saved them all no matter how grammatically incorrect they could be sometimes) (he’s a stickler for punctuation)

Nowadays when Hosea says: “hmm?” Dutch over annunciates what he just said to make fun of his old age (receiving an eye roll from Hosea) (could also apply to the cannon timeline)

The types of conversations they have belong on a podcast (neither of them know how to/want to run one, but they’re hysterical nevertheless)

They both gossip about everything that’s happening in the gang. No one can possibly gossip more than they do

Hii! Do you maybe recommend any fanfictions that maybe are centered around John or Johnigail? 🫶🏻

Hii, yes I have a few I really like<3

this night has opened my eyes by pinkchem91 is one of the few multi-chapter fics I like. It's centered on John and his struggles, but it doesn't victimize him or vilify Abigail, which I love! I think it's one of the few johnigail centered fics that depicts John properly. The writing is also amazing. It features some jovier, but I recommend it even if u aren't interested in that ship bc it's just that good!!

now I bend like a willow thinking of you by vittoriaisfuckingpathetic is a really sweet oneshot. I like the dynamic between John and Abigail here. They also have another fic called take my hand (don't fear the reaper) that is very good.

25 Days of A Cowboah Christmas by Zana_Zira is another good multi-chapter one. It features charthur, vandermatthews, and Johnigail depending on the chapter. All around a very cute fic!

looking at me by honeydreadful is another good oneshot. It takes place pre-Jack, which I am always fond of in a fic.

Here are just some general fic recs that aren't necessarily johnigail centered:

The Pretender by biiitchofCambridge is a modern charthur fic, but it features some really good johnigail moments. I am obsessed w it!!!

Arthur Morgan's Journal by saiyan_druid is another modern charthur fic, but it focuses heavily on John and Arthur's relationship. There's hints of johnigail and vandermatthews in it too.

ghosts and people by the_ocean_weekender is an old fic that I really enjoy. It's a fix-it fic w Arthur and the Marstons focused on Arthur's TB.

Bury Me With You by krhjfuirhgr is about Jack following Abi and John's death. I recommend it if ur looking for some Jack Marston angst.

Sorry this turned into just a general fic recommendation, but I'm pretty sure all of these at least feature some johnigail. There aren't many Johnigail centered fics I've seen (and like), so if anyone has any recs lmk!!

Vandermatthews Fluff plz? :)

why yes of course uwu

-> Dutch has a special record for his gramophone that he'll only play when him and Hosea are slow dancing. It's his favourite piece of classical music and it’s something he cherishes dearly. Whenever he's at a fancy restaurant or at a party in the Mayor's house and he hears that song, all he thinks about his Hosea.

-> Hosea loves to read in his spare time but he's more interested in fiction and not Evelyn Miller. Something they both enjoy to do is make little jokes about the other's taste in books. They always have a good laugh about it.

-> When one of Dutch's plans don’t work out, the only thing that can make everything feel better is a hug from Hosea. It's like all of his stress and worry fades away as Hosea pulls him in for an embrace and rubs his back.

-> If there's one thing Hosea loves to do, it's surprise Dutch with a romantic night away. He tells Dutch that there's an abandoned house nearby that some outlaws have stashed money in. When they get there and Dutch opens the door, he sees a fancy bottle of whiskey, candles, a bed with silk sheets and some chocolates.

-> Sometimes they'll whisper sweet nothings into each other's ears throughout the day to try and make the other man blush. As the day goes on, what started off as being 'sweet nothings' get raunchier and raunchier.

-> Whenever Hosea passes through a town, he'll go inside the general store and pick up some of Dutch's favourite candies. He loves leaving them in Dutch's tent so he can find them later. Dutch always gives Hosea a kiss once he discovers the sweets.

would you consider ever making a vandermatthews art book?? your art of them is stunning and, selfishly, i could stare at a print of it all day. i’m sure i’m not the only one too.

Well, with time and Rockstar copyrights/credits in the first page? yes maybe...But as I always said my first printed artbook will be with OCs, please try to understand and forgive me too, but it’s so important for me...I don’t want to say “No, sorry” again to another fandom, but...I mean I made PDF version of a comic for Good Omens, because really that asked too much effort and time that I've spent there, but not the print just the PDF ! and just for reading not download it.

So it’s complicated, I wouldn't print fan art also if in some of them I put the same effort that I put in OCs of course because I love the characters and it's a passion too huge to keep it inside...but only if someone would be lovelily interested to buy it I could truly try to make it in December.

Believe me, I am in tears, I'm not lying to you this made me emotional because damn you ask me for prints of my Vandermatthews art, with all the love I tried to share with them...OOff gosh guys...

[unclefungusthegoat]

let's just go for the ship questions ❤️🧡💛 and 🎩 for luck

Loooooong post, but I have FEELINGS.

18. Favourite general ship ❤️

Soooo, I wasn’t quite sure, since the follow ups ask for mlm and wlw, if this is for a mlw ship???? So as to not repeat myself, I guess I’ll work under that assumption (I’m sure you’re fascinated in my Vandermatthews thoughts but once is enough I’m sure lmao)? 

In terms of mlw pairings, I will always jump at a chance at reading Arthur/Eliza, Arthur/Mary, and will also dabble in John/Abigail and Hosea/Bessie. I read a lot of Arthur shipping fics... you know, where he’s either desperately miserable like he is in game or gets the happy ending he deserved. Yes, I’m bitter. The man just wanted a family. Was that too much to ask?????

19. Favourite mlm ship 🧡

... you’re really going to make me choose between Hosea/Dutch and Arthur/Charles??????

If I have to choose, I’d go with Vandermatthews.  As you and I well know, TV Tropes lists Dutch and Hosea as ‘ambiguously bi’ and that is so damn inaccurate, they’re obviously bisexual. They argue like an old married couple (having been together for like 25 years), they canonically hold hands, Hosea’s death REALLY escalates Dutch’s failing mental state (and Ben Davies confirmed this) and let’s not forget they damn well ADOPTED KIDS TOGETHER.

Arthur/Charles forever though. And shout out to Arthur/Albert too.

20. Favourite wlw ship 💛

Of course, I always enjoy Abigail/Sadie and Molly/Karen content, and on here, I always, always, always reblog Tilly/Mary-Beth whenever it comes along, it’s so freaking adorable. And OMG I remember suggestions of a Susan/Black Belle pairing on here at some point and that was BADASS

(Post your damn Molly/Karen fic Lucy. Finish it. Post it.)

16. Favourite hat 🎩

I’m exceptionally boring. My favourite hat is Arthur’s normal hat - it goes with everything and, of course, there’s THAT SCENE. Also, I have a lot of emotions about it belonging to his father. There was also a very wide brimmed style that I liked to put on him, but I can’t remember it’s name. My Arthur was NEVER in bowler or top hats... just, NO. 

Big shout outs to the pirate hat, the raccoon hat, the beaver hat with the feathers, and the really ugly top hat Algenon Wasp makes.

[amodicumofdutch]

the fact y’all think vandermorgan could be a thing.... arthur is literally dutch’s son. micah even refers to him and arthur as “sons of dutch. makes us brothers [and sometimes brothers make mistakes]” so y’all are Disgusting!!! Periodt!!! dutch literally raised arthur i’m. y’all nasty

Hm well the thing is, Arthur is not literally Dutch’s son: Arthur’s dad was Lyle Morgan, not Dutch. Arthur and Dutch are not blood-related. Therefore, while one can make a pretty compelling argument that Dutch and Arthur have a relationship similar to a father-son-relationship, this changes nothing about the fact that they are not  father and son - hence, vandermorgan is not an incest ship. Whenever Arthur gets called “Dutch’s son” (be it by Micah, or by Dutch himself), it is always meant in a non-literal/metaphorical way.

So this part of your argument is disproved by canon. There is, however, another part to your argument: You claim that vandermorgan is somehow wrong or yucky cause “Dutch literally raised Arthur”.

Now, it is true that 1) Dutch and Arthur met when Arthur was just 14, 2) there is a five-year age gap between them, and 3) Dutch fulfilled a mentor role/parental role for Arthur (I think it’s very much open to interpretation whether Arthur saw Dutch more as a mentor/teacher or more as a father figure, but that’s beside the point - the fact remains that Arthur looked up to Dutch and saw him as an authority figure).

But all that does not make it wrong or immoral to ship vandermorgan!! I mean, yes, depending on how you interpret their dynamic, it can get pretty unconventional/complicated/messy - and there are many many interpretations of the vandermorgan dynamic in fics which I would never, ever enjoy or approve of if it was a real-life relationship.

But the point is, it’s not. It’s not real life. It’s fiction. It’s fandom. It’s fantasy. And in fiction/fandom it is very much allowed to ship unconventional/messy/problematic things. There is nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Art is free. Fandom is free. We can ship whatever we like. We’re allowed to ship vandermorgan. (And of course, you are allowed to not ship vandermorgan, to find it yucky, to ship vandermatthews instead, or Dutch/Molly, or Dutch/Angelo Bronte/Agent Milton, or Dutch/a mango tree. It’s all allowed!! We’re free!!)

But all that being said, your ask was worded in a pretty rude way - in the future, I won’t respond to asks with insults in them. (Cause it’s not exactly conductive to a good debate, and also because I don’t enjoy getting insulted). So please keep that in mind when sending me asks in the future!

(Politely worded asks about vandermorgan or Dutch are always welcome though!!)

The cat called Dutchess Van Der Linde

Rating: Teen and up audience

Pairing: VanDerMatthews

Tags: Dom/Sub, Sex, Training, BDSM, Dom!Hosea, Sub!Dutch

-

Hosea and Dutch are in a deserted hut får away from preying eyes and ears. Dutch wear his red black colored collar. With a golden piece of metal where the black leash goes. The hook of the leash is also golden. Hosea is the only one who could dominate Dutch. He's always submissive to him when they're alone.

,,So Dutchess. Today I teach you how to wait and behave. You know the safe word right?"

,,Yes. Black Rose."

,,Well done. Say it and we stop immideatly. You know that.

,,Yes sir. I trust you." Dutch smiles.

Hosea smiles back.

,,Okay then."

,,Get on the bed pet. On your back. Spread your legs." Hosea commands.

,,Yes sir."

And with that Dutch do as he was told.

,,Good pet." Hosea praises him.

Then he tie his hands and legs to the bed frame. The legs are bend that Hosea can reach his hole too.

,,Alright?"

,,Yes sir." Dutch smiles.

Dutchess is already half hard. Then he gag his cat. But Dutch take it like a champ without complaining.

,,Good boy."

Then Hosea opens the lube and slik Three of his fingers. He slips one of them into Dutch's tight hole. The other man let out a whimper arround the gag. He fucks him with the finger, before he adds another one and start to scissor him loose. Dutch groans and start to wiggle in his restrains.

,,Shh relax. Patience my pet." Hosea whispers.

Dutch let out a whimper, but stop his movements. Oh boy. He need to really teach his cat some patience. After a while he add a third finger. His eyes water up and a jolt wnet trough Dutch's body. Then Hosea pull his fingers back, and slik the medium sized but blug with a black long fluffy cat tail. He slowly push it into Dutch's loose hole. Dutch moan in pain and pleasure around the gag in his mouth. Hm it looks so lovely. Dutchess also wears a black headband with big black fluffy car ears. Then Hosea sit down on the chair opposite of the bed. He has a good view on Dutch. Then he opens a book and start to read. He hear a frustrated groan from the bed.

,,Shhh big cat. Be patient and you get a reward." Hosea giggles.

The older man is still soft in his pants. He has a really good self control. In the corner of his eyes, he can see how Dutch start to wiggle again. He let out a deep grunt.

,,You want a reward pet?" Hosea asks.

,,Mhhmmhh." Dutch approves.

,,Then stay still and quiet big cat." Hosea warn.

Hosea can practically feel how Dutchess rolls with his eyes. And then he got it. Because for the rest of the next thirty  minutes he stays still and quiet. Only his fast and short erratic breathing is to hear. But that's fine. After ten more minutes, Hosea finally ose his book and lay it aside. Then he slowly get up.

,,See big cat. It wasn't that hard. Wasn't it?" Hosea smiles.

,,You did well. I'm proud of you. So proud." Hosea whispers.

Dutch's eyes light up with joy. He made his master proud. This fills him with joy.

,,Now. Be a good pet and make me hard will you? Then I can reward you."

Dutch nods wildly.

,,You want this really bad huh?"

Another nod. Then Hosea free Dutch's hands and legs. And then he pull the gag out. He lay the gag aside.

,,The plug stays big cat. Until I say so. Now get on your knees and suck Daddy's cock." Hosea command.

,,Yes sir."

Hosea and Dutch switch places. Now Hoseas laying on his back, and Dutch kneel between his legs with a low grunt and start immideatly to suck him of. Hosea take the leash into his right hand. And softly tug on it. This made Dutch swallow him whole in one go.

,,That's it big cat!" Hosea groans.

Dutch looks so fucking hot with that collar, cat ears and cat tail. He did it last time too. And since that Dutch turns into Dutchess the cat whenever they play. The collar is made out of fine and expensive leather. But it was totally worth it. The cat pulls back a bit to get some air. Then he immideatly deep throat him again. This time Hosea's half hard cock turn into a rock hard hard on immideatly.

,,Just like that pet. You suck daddy's cock so well. Ngh." Hosea moans.

The praises fuels Dutch to go faster. And then he deep throat Hosea again, but this time he stays there. With his nose buried in Hoseas groomed grey-silver pubic hair. He stays there for a while. But after two minutes he need to let him slip out of his mouth. He breaths in with a small cough.

,,You alright Dutchess?" Hosea ask a bit worried.

,,I'm fine." Dutch smiles.

Then he put kitten licks onto Hosea's sensitive head. A jolt went trough the older man. And then he pull Dutchess head back with his left hand on the back of the cats head. Dutch looks confused at Hosea. Did he do something wrong?

,,You did amazing pet. Now c'mere and ride daddy's cock will you?"

,,Of course daddy." Dutch moans eager.

Then he position himself over Hosea's cock. Hosea reach forward with his free hand and carefully pull the plug out to lay it down. Next to them. Dutch left a whimper at the loss. But he eagerly takes Hoseas cock in his hand. But Hosea stop him with a tug on the leash.

,,Slow boy. We have all the time of the world." Hosea whispers.

Dutchess nod. And then he slowly sit down on Hoseas thick and long cock with a long groan. He fills him so good. So deep and opens him so well. It feels amazing. Only when he's completely filled, and sits on Hoseas lap, the groan turns into a short moan and then into eratic pants. Hosea let out a sigh. Both man enjoy it. Dutch starts to ride Hosea slow. It takes all his power to bit slam himself down on Hoseas cock.

,,Mhhh that's it big cat." Hosea Sighs.

Dutch is a moaning and grunting mess. Hosea tucks on the leash, so that Dutch is laying on top of him now. Both man share a sloppy but intense kiss. Then Dutch sit up again, and slowly ride Hosea again. The older man can see how Dutch struggles to keep this slow pace.

,,You did so well for me pet. Go on."

Dutch looks surprised at him.

,,Thanks daddy." He moans.

And then he start to ride Hosea fast and wild. He's a moaning mess. It's way to good. And Hosea pants and gasps then and there. But even though he fucks him verry wildly, he managed that his daddy cums first. Hosea tumbles over the rge with a low groan. And Dutch follows right after. Cuming against his stomach and chest. After a while of heavy breathing, Dutch gets up. Hosea opens the collar and remove the cat ears. He place everything on the drawer next to the bed. Then he get up to clean them both. After that they cuddle tidly together in bed.

,,You did so good Dutch. You alright?" Hosea gasp.

,,Yes om alright. It was fun. I love it when you take control." Dutch say honest.

,,Good." Hosea smile.

Both share a tender kiss, before they fall asleep.

-

Hey,

I hope you like it. It's the first time I write something like that. Do pleas forgive me if it isn't that good.

[sargentcorn]

Hello! I love your home sweet home series! Idk if u do requests or not so if u don't just ignore this :) but..How do u think Hosea and Dutch's first time was together?

First of all, thank you! I’m glad you like series. Second of all, apologies for getting this out so late. Knew what I wanted to say, but lacked the energy to answer it. As for requests, I’ve never had any dropped on my lap before, but I’m open to vandermatthews related ones for sure; others would be done at my discretion. So, with that said, here we go.

Dutch and Hosea’s first time making love(plus first kiss).

Naturally, they’ve been pining over each other for years, not aware that the other likes them back.

So, after Annabelle and Bessie, the dam finally breaks out on a job.

It’s a easy coach robbery job together, and when they’re escaping from the law, the two find a nice little tucked away cave out in a forest where the law surely won’t find them.

Hiding the horses where they can’t be easily seen nearby, Dutch and Hosea set up camp in this little cave to wait off the heat.

Hosea easily pretends he’s not glancing at Dutch, but Dutch is very obvious, while they unpack.

He’s staring at Hosea’s lips from time to time as he unpacks. Wants to know what they feel like.

So when everything’s unpacked and laid out, Dutch can’t help himself.

He pushes Hosea against the cave wall lips on the other man’s.

Hosea stills before eagerly returning the kiss while quickly taking charge.

Hands are wondering over each other’s clothes, and both are wondering why they didn’t do this sooner.

It’s not long before Dutch grows impatient and starts unbuckling Hosea’s even though he has no idea what he’s doing.

Well, beyond having the idea he wants Hosea, and his dick in his mouth.

A faint groan escapes Hosea’s lips the moments Dutch’s mouth is wrapped around his cock.

Dutch may not know how to suck dick, but he knows the way he likes it.

So, he tries what he likes, and it’s a good guess because Hosea is cursing and praising him softly.

That only makes him harder.

He could have stayed there forever sucking Hosea’s dick, but the older man pushes him off.

“Dutch…” “Yes?” “Holy shit, where’d you learn that?”

“From the way I liked mine sucked.” Dutch admits embarrassed looking away.

Hands bring his gaze back to Hosea’s face. “You’ve never… with another man?” “No, but I want to with you, ‘sea. All of you.”

Hosea sharply inhales, because holy shit, Dutch. Wants. Him.

With that in mind, Hosea pulls him into for another kiss while rubbing Dutch through his pants. “I’ll be gentle, I promise.” “I know you will.”

Hosea tells him to undress, he’s going to get gun oil from his horse.

Undressing himself, Dutch admits he feels far more nervous than the first with a girl, because it’s Hosea. His friend, his second-in-command, and the one he’s been pinning for awhile.

But that nervousness doesn’t last when Hosea comes back.

The other man is gentle, and praising, as he undresses.

Soon, Hosea is naked in all his glory standing before Dutch.

The two stare before lips lock, and hands wander again.

Eventually, Hosea guides Dutch to one of the bed rolls, makes him lie on his stomach so it’s easier for the both of them. Dutch can always lie on his back another time.

The first lubed finger has Dutch inhaling. It’s a strange feeling, but he finds he likes. The send is welcomed, and the third is begged for(which Dutch isn’t too proud to do, he wants Hosea badly that’s he’s not above begging.)

This is where they both find out they like Hosea on top already, Dutch  loves the way Hosea praises him as he takes each finger, and Hosea loves the way he can turn Dutch into a begging mess within three fingers.

Hosea prepares Dutch for easily 5 minutes. He wants it feel so good for Dutch that’s there’s a second time guaranteed.

When Hosea finally slips the tip of his cock in, oh boy, Dutch makes the prettiest sound Hosea swears he’s ever come from another man. That thought is strengthened when Hosea fully enters him.

Hosea is a patient man despite how much he wants to fuck Dutch into the ground right there. He waits till Dutch gives the okay, presses kiss on his back and shoulders. Praises him.

“Ok-okay. I think I’m re-ready.” “You sure?” “Yes.”

The first thrust has Dutch cursing himself for not pursuing Hosea earlier. The second has him being glad regardless of how long it took. Hosea’s thoughts are about the same.

Nonetheless, Hosea is gentle, keeps praising Dutch for taking it so well, and how proud he is of him. Dutch absolutely loves the praise.

After some minutes pass, Dutch finally gathers enough courage to ask for Hosea to thrust harder.

“You sure?” “Yes, please ‘sea. I ne-need it ba-bad.”

Dutch’s whimpering and begging finally gets to Hosea who thrusts a tad bit harder. Dutch paws at the ground and thrusts against Hosea in response. It’s the best damn thing he’s ever done in his life.

Hosea never stops his praise even though he’s thrusting harder.

Occasionally, he press kisses to Dutch’s back, and a bite on the neck from time to time.

“Ha-harder, please ‘sea!” “As you wish, Dutch.”

Dutch feels like he’s seeing stars with each new thrust Hosea gives him. It’s here that both realise they both extremely enjoy Dutch on the bottom, and Hosea on top. Something about Dutch begging for Hosea’s cock has Hosea aroused beyond all belief that he can even get this from the man under him, and Dutch finds that of all people he’s been with, having Hosea fucking him into the ground while praising him is the best damn thing he’s ever felt. More so than Hosea’s fingers inside him.

That train of thought has Dutch orgasiming suddenly, Hosea’s name dropping from his lips in one long moan.

And when Dutch tightens around Hosea, Hosea finds himself cuming as well, and in his need to grab something, he pulls on Dutch’s curls making  the other man almost wail in pleasure. This is where they find out Dutch likes his curls being pulled.

It’s a mess of limbs as both collapse, Hosea still inside. Neither wants to move just yet.

But slowly Hosea pulls out earning a soft groan from Dutch.

“Holy shit, Hosea. That was…” Dutch is unable to form words. There’s a glow on his face as he stares at Hosea lovingly. Hosea rubs his cheek with a thumb making Dutch lean into the touch.

“Yeah. Yeah.” He pulls Dutch into another kiss, which leads to two, three more before Hosea stops to get up and clean Dutch off.

When he’s finished, they curl into each other trading more kisses even though both are sated.

“Hosea?” “Yeah?” “We should do that again, and when we do, I, uh, want you to stay on… top. I… enjoyed it.” Hosea chuckles, and kisses him again. “I will, because I certainly enjoyed hearing you beg.”

Dutch rolls his eyes, but he can’t stop the smile on his face.

“Oh, and I noticed someone likes their hair being pulled, can’t quite do that if I’m on the bottom.” There’s a fierce blush from Dutch, but he’d be lying if he didn’t admit he also liked it. Hosea pulls him into another kiss.

*Dusts off hands.* This was the first thing that came to time when you asked, so it’s how I imagine it went down. Hope you enjoyed.

Vandermatthews Kiss drabble #2 “I’m Sorry”

Number two. I’m on a roll. Like you have no idea the dry spell I’ve been having. Enjoy! 

“I’m sorry,” Hosea looked up from over his book, a deep frown etched into his face. His normally kind blue eyes were hard as steel but burned with a deeply hidden anger. Dutch nearly recoiled under the intense gaze of his lover, he hated seeing Hosea like this. Mostly because it was almost never directed at him. This time, however, he knew he fucked up. He really did. “Hosea...I know I did wrong. And I’m sorry about that, please can we talk about this,” he said rubbing the back of his neck.

“You lied to me Dutch. You went behind my back, and you lied to me. Never, not once in twenty years that we’ve known each other have you ever done that! You promised me you weren’t going to go with Micah, you promised me you were going to lay low! Now no one in camp can even set foot in Valentine for a few days which need I remind you is the only town in decent riding distance! You screwed me over with any contacts I made there! Screwed us out of supplies! And to make matters worse if that’s even possible at this point you put our boys in danger! Now, leave me be!” Hosea snapped turning his attention back to the book in his hands.

Dutch swallowed a little, eyes resting on Hosea for a while longer before he sighed heavily turning around to slink back to his tent to lick his wounds. Arthur and John who had watched the whole exchange looked at each other and sighed heavily together.

“I’ll go talk to dad,” Arthur said getting up.

“I got pa,” John said following suit. They walked in separate directions, John to Dutch, Arthur to Hosea. Maybe he could convince him to go hunting or fishing, or just go for a ride. Just to get out of the camp for a while. He approached him carefully, he’s only seen Hosea really mad once before when he was younger and it was directed at a man who tried to use him as a ‘bargaining chip’. He cleared his throat to get Hosea’s attention, blue eyes darted up still burning, but they soon softened when he saw Arthur.

“Wanna go for a ride?” he asked. Hosea gave a weak smile and shook his head.

“I know what you’re trying to do Arthur, and I appreciate it. But I’m content to just sitting here reading my book. Wouldn’t mind the company though.” He said scooting over so Arthur could sit against the tree with him. Arthur smiled a little sitting next to the older man and looked over at the book.

“I remember this one,” he said.

“Yes, it was always your favorite. You were quite partial to D'Artagnan,” he said.

“You were always comparing me to him. Young, foolhardy, brave…” Hosea laughed a little and nodded. They fell into silence and Arthur’s face fell while he tried to figure out how to approach this.

“Hosea… Dutch is really sorry. If it makes you feel any better, John punched him. I stopped talking to him until you forgave him, and Mrs. Grimshaw gave him such an earful…”

“Yes, I heard her shrieking at him.” He looked up towards Dutch’s tent and let out his own sigh. “John talking to him?” Arthur nodded.  “I’ll forgive him when he shows me he really means it. Words are pretty, but Dutch and I both know words can manipulate, hurt, and can often be lies. He knows this, and I won’t forgive him until he shows me,” Hosea said and looked down at his book again.

“What is it you said when we were kids? ‘Actions speak louder than words’?”

“That’s correct,” he said. “Now hush or I won’t read you the story,” he said. Arthur chuckled a little leaning back against the tree and closed his eyes while he listened to Hosea read. Hosea was a little more relaxed now, hopefully, whatever John was doing was going to help.

It was near dark when Dutch and John finally emerged from the tent. They had been talking quietly. A few tears shed on Dutch’s part, but he was calm now. He scanned the camp carefully. The rest of the gang was asleep, Arthur and John were taking watch.

Hosea was standing at the edge of the cliff overlooking the valley with his arms crossed over his chest. Dutch slowly made his way over to his lover still looking sheepish. He cleared his throat to make his presence known. When Hosea’s eyes met his own, there was a sense of calm in them this time, if not still slightly hostile. Dutch moved to stand close to him, his hands going to Hosea’s still crossed arms holding his elbows gently rubbing them with his thumbs.

“Hosea…” he breathed unable to meet his eyes. “I-I’m so sorry…” he said finally looking up. “I am so sorry,” he said again and gently pulled Hosea into a kiss. It was tentative, soft, uncertain. Hosea felt every muscle in his body loosen, he let out a slow exhale while his eyes slipped closed and he kissed back wrapping his arms around Dutch’s neck while the younger man’s arms wrapped around his waist his hands pressing comfortingly against his back.

When they pulled away, Dutch buried his face into Hosea’s shoulder holding him tighter a mantra of ‘I’m sorry’ spilling from his lips. Hosea only smiled a little putting a hand to the back of Dutch’s head petting his hair and toying with his curls.

“I forgive you, damn fool.”

Dreams

Dutch felt his cot dip as someone slid in behind him. Dutch sighed as Hosea’s scent wrapped around Dutch like an old familiar blanket, his arm coming around to hold Dutch close to him. 

“Where have you been old man?”

“Oh you know, scouting the bank in town for a possible job.” Hosea replied with a smirk in his voice

“So did you find anything good?”

“Yes, but I need to get some more information on guard posts and shift changes first.”

“Well done Mr. Matthews.” 

“Why thank you Mr. Van der Linde.” Hosea chuckled in return. It was evenings like this, when they could be alone and enjoy each others presence that Hosea loved the most. When Dutch wasn’t trying to be anyone except himself, when all his guards were down and Hosea could see the man beneath the mask.

Dutch settled into Hosea more, trying to get as close as possible to the older man.

After a few minutes of trying to decide the best possible position to sleep, Dutch carefully rolled over, and wrapped his arms around his partner, breathing in the all-too familiar scent that was uniquely Hosea, a small smile gracing his lips.

Hosea gently untangled his arm from under Dutch to begin stroking the mans black locks, making Dutch purr like a cat, one of Hosea’s favorite sounds.

“I love you Mr. Matthews.”

“And I love you Mr. Van der Linde. I always have and I always will. No matter what happens or where we go, remember that I will always be with you and I will always love you.” Hosea gently kissed Dutch’s forehead, so soft it was almost like a whisper.

As Dutch opened his eyes a single tear rolled down his face. He was the only one in the tent.

ship bingo! Morston (Arthur x John)?

OH MY GOD YES... A lovely photoset once again from Foundy because he's the best out there!

Although I really love this ship, I tend to be quite picky what tropes I'd love to associate with John and Arthur knowing this is a really controversial ship (and I have the guts to ship them so deal with it).

Spoiler free explanation: Without a doubt, Morston and Vandermatthews are neck and neck for me in terms of the bond shared between them from start to finish and how Arthur interacts with John, especially if Arthur antagonizes hi, which is always hilarious. There's always lovely art and fics about them and I live for them.
