An ongoing collection of short stories inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2. Hoping this can be a li'l bit of everything (romance, action, vignettes, whatever). Requests are open! (Please read the requests guidelines chapter #1). Obviously, all characters/settings from RDR2 belong to Rockstar Games.

Dutch Van der Linde, Hosea Matthews, and their adopted progeny look different in 1891. Mostly peaceful, largely law-abiding (with some natural exceptions)...the tensions between Arthur Morgan and John Marston revolve not around the pull of a trigger but the daughter of Dutch Van der Linde, who John has grown up loving, and Arthur's just come to notice. How will their shifting affections affect, in turn, the motley family they've built? *** This is a new prequel to the events of Red Dead Redemption 2, featuring an OC, Dutch's daughter Emmylou "Lou" Van der Linde. A heads-up that I did write a short with Dutch's daughter in it a while back ("Three Protégés", in the Bellicose collection, but this one will be different. Mostly romance, some darker themes coming in (can't help myself). Definitely 18+! All characters from RDR2 belong to Rockstar Games. (Also a note that I couldn't find a credit for who edited the pic of young John I used for my cover - if this was you, I love it!)

Robin Mae Hudson has lived her whole life in a town as far west as a soul can ride in the state of New Austin. Her world is small and honest, shaped by hard work, the loss of her father, and a mother who leans on her more each passing season. She didn't ask for more. But the frontier has a way of shifting under a person, anyhow. One April, men clad in black and green ride through town, bringing with them a strangeness like wind blown from a state Robin's feet have never known. A wind that forces a woman from the only life she has ever led. All because of her sharp eye and sharper mind; strengths that grow dangerous once the wrong hands decide they want use of them. But useful, once saved by the right. [Arthur Morgan x OC] [Pre-RDR2] [RDR2] [SLOWBURN!]

Updates every friday at 5pm GMT Please be warned that this story will have dark themes of loss throughout. Mature audience only. Meeting Adalaide was perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to many men. Arthur Morgan included.

Dutch had sent you and Micah to go out scouting and after nearly escaping an arrest in Strawberry, Arthur decides to take you to Valentine for a few drinks. Is this the chance to finally have your friendship grow into something more or will you ruin it all?

Her mother has been kidnapped, and Arthur Morgan, an outlaw who she helped in the streets of Saint Denis, may be the only man who can help - or the only one she can't resist.

When the Smoke Clears is a visceral, slow-burn fanfiction set in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2. You are Harlan van der Linde's daughter - born into outlaw blood, but raised in a house ruled by fear. After years of silence, years of enduring the man who killed your mother and kept you captive, you finally break free - leaving behind blood, fire, and a past you can never outrun. You flee to the only place that might still feel like home: Dutch van der Linde's camp. A place you once visited frequently when you were younger, but you're not a child anymore, and the gang doesn't know what to make of you - especially Arthur Morgan, who remembers your father and the girl he'd brought around camp, but who knows nothing of the woman you've become. As old loyalties clash with new tensions, you must navigate a world where trust is scarce, danger is constant, and your freedom has come at a steep cost. ~•~•~ This story is a reader insert, but I still have yet to use (y/n). Important note: This story is INSPIRED by Red Dead Redemption 2. Not BASED on RDR2. This will follow many of the same themes and loose plot lines of the game, but I am mainly using the characters from the game to write my own story. So don't expect everything from the game to translate over into this story. Disclaimers: Mature audiences only. Sexual content, mention of rape and physical abuse, smoking, drinking, cursing, murder, violence, and of course... 🌶️ SMUT🌶️

Despite her best efforts to not end up like her predecessor, Mrs O'Shea, she craves the downfall of the men that grope and gawk at her continually. (Y/N) has found her outlet in the form of a built, rugged bounty hunter, who builds her self confidence and eliminates his competition- literally. This story takes place after Just A Social Call, in an au where Hosea never died, and fills in the role of Arthur, as he isn't affiliated with this gang. This does contain spoilers for red dead 2, but since the story doesn't follow the exact plot, reader discretion is advised. Classic bounty hunter au with a twist! Arthur is the hunter. dun dun dunn. Possible smut, havent yet decided. If you couldnt tell by my horribly cringe username, my last time writing any sort of fic was in 2017, peak hamilton era. Please go easy on me!

An outlaw love story with bite. Cassidy "Copper" Lane doesn't do trust, not after what the world's taken from her. She rides solo, shoots straight, and keeps her scars where everyone can see them-so no one dares get close. Then Arthur Morgan shows up. Van der Linde gang enforcer. Too serious. Too smart. And way too good at peeling back the walls she spent years building. Thrown together by bad luck and worse timing, Cassidy and Arthur navigate bullets, bounty hunters, and betrayal on the fading edge of the Wild West. She's got a sharp tongue. He's got a quiet kind of storm. Together, they're either the perfect disaster or the last chance either of them has at redemption. Witty, brutal, and full of heart, The Last Draw is a gritty western romance where survival means keeping your gun loaded-and maybe, just maybe, letting someone in. Inspired by the world of Red Dead Redemption II, this gritty tale of survival, revenge, and redemption is a must-read for fans of Western epics and slow-burning romances.
