Arthur Morgan x OC: "Take a boozy short leave of your nymphs on the shore, and silence their mourning with vows of returning, though never intending to visit them more." After a near-deadly shootout in Valentine, Arthur Morgan retreats to a wooded cabin to lick his wounds and recover. But the reclusive woman he meets there causes him to question everything he believes in, and all of the people he holds dear. Does she have secrets of her own that she's hiding? ** Hi all; this is a little RDR2 romance (Arthur x original character) story. It follows the events of the game for the most part (meaning there are some spoilers, if you haven't finished the game yet!), but there are some changes/additions. Of course, all RDR2 characters/settings are Rockstar Games. Hope you all enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts. This story was completed September 18, 2021.

Rosalie Klein, daughter of a German conman, has been spinning schemes since she could walk. Her life took a pivotal turn when Colm O'Driscoll's brother killed her father and uncle, leaving her orphaned and alone. Consumed by vengeance, she found herself empty and lost after finally delivering justice for their deaths. Now, with the Van Der Linde gang, Rosalie must navigate a world of outlaws as a young woman, struggling with loneliness, facing betrayals, and questioning who really has her back. Rosalie faces the hard decision to either find forgiveness, or let her demons tear her apart piece by piece until there's nothing left. Will she choose to forgive, or will she force those who wronged her to face retribution? PART TWO OF "CON OF REVENGE" HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU READ THAT FIRST... THOUGH NOT REQUIRED

You own a saloon in a town you wish to leave for good. One day, a group of outlaws decides to settle nearby. You decide to use them to your advantage to get out. Driven by his greed and the hunger for prestige, Dutch takes the deal you offer and puts his most trusted man, Arthur, up for your protection. However, even though Arthur seems like a fine fella, he has issues of his own and a lifestyle he can't seem to shake off.

"ᴵ'ᴹ ˢᵀᴬᵞᴵᴺᴳ ᵂᴵᵀᴴ ᵞᴼᵁ, ᵂᴴᴱᵀᴴᴱᴿ ᵞᴼᵁ ᴸᴵᴷᴱ ᴼᴿ ᴺᴼᵀ. ᴵ'ᴹ ᴺᴼᵀ ᴿᵁᴺᴺᴵᴺᴳ ᵀᴴᴵˢ ᵀᴵᴹᴱ." If there's one thing I'm done with, that would be running. Reason being is because that's all I've done for my entire life. The surge of adrenaline running through your veins, your breaths sharp and frantic, and how your feet desperately attempted to create a form of friction. I hated the feeling. It was a grim reminder of how I lost the people I loved and how I would never be safe unless change was made. [ ᴀʀᴛʜᴜʀ ᴍᴏʀɢᴀɴ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ ]

Times are changing, and the only thing you've known up to this point is survival. As the world seems to be closing in around you, you find yourself face to face with none other than the Van Der Linde gang, and Dutch's right hand man, Arthur Morgan.

You're an assassin that joined Dutch Van Der Linde's group a couple years ago after a failed attempt to assassinate Colm O' Driscoll. It wasn't easy, but you were able to get along with most of the people who were with Dutch. You were only close with a few of his members, Arthur Morgan being one of them. The both of you bonded easily and did almost every thing together, especially hunting or going into towns. (I'm against Arthur dying so he gets the flu instead of tb)

The Van der Linde gang is a famous group of outlaws who are now roaming the heartlands after a robbery gone wrong.
