Fics like The First Time He Gets Shot

The first time John Marston gets shot- actually, properly shot, not just skimmed or grazed by a bullet- he finds he barely even remembers how it happened. There had been a gunfight, obviously, but there had been so many gunfights in those first few years that he finds the causes of them all slowly begin to blend together in the way things often do when you are not privy to the reasons for them. And so, the how remained, for the rest of his life, shrouded in some strange, half-mystery. But he finds he remembers plenty about what happened after it. He remembers the smell of ash. Remembers it burning on his tongue and in the back of his throat, acrid and smothering. He remembers turning to face the sound of horse hooves with his gun still pointed firmly in the opposite direction, and then he remembers falling, falling, falling. The warm afternoon air on his cheeks. The mouthful of gravel that meets him on the way down John Marston remembers a fair bit about the day he first got shot. He remembers even more about how Arthur Morgan looked with his guts half-strewn across a kitchen table.
