[A Slow Burn Arthur Morgan x OC Story] ~ By 1897, Joyce Robbins is a petty criminal in her late 20s due to a series of unfortunate events - the common denominator for most like her, it seems. Having tragedy struck at a young age, Joyce finds herself plunged into the life of a single woman desperate for work and money to help provide for her and her siblings - and in this world, that only gives you about two options: stealing or selling yourself. So, she opted to steal. Simple memories she'd made long ago seem to determine her fate, however, as some familiar faces show up and completely alter her sullen trajectory. When a fateful meeting goes much differently than expected, Joyce is again left with two choices: die, or keep moving forward. So again, she opts for the latter. ~ [THIS STORY WILL INCLUDE MATURE CONTENT SUCH AS VIOLENCE, GORE, SEXUAL THEMES, ETC. THIS STORY USES CHARACTERS AND INSPIRATION FROM ROCKSTAR'S RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 AS WELL AS ORIGINAL CHARACTERS.]

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.

Nora has spent most of her life in solitude, travelling only with her business partner JB Cripps. Always on the move, never allowing herself the time to face the past that threatens to consume her. That is until she meets a particularly irritating outlaw at a bounty board and her life suddenly bursts into tremendous colour. But when the pendulum swings one way, eventually it'll swing the other. COMPLETE This is a work of fanfiction, with characters from Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 Online. I do not own this world, nor any character beyond the main OC. Neither do I own any of the literature and titles taken from the works of Robert Frost. (While this story follows along with the timeline and the main plot of the game, there will be divergences in the canon. Mainly that Arthur will not contract TB. As for who else lives and dies, I'm afraid you'll have to find out.)

[[A slow burn OCxArthur story with both new and original characters]] They say the best things in life are unplanned. But sometimes... they're the worst. After the Blackwater catastrophe, Arthur feels the heavy weight of responsibility; being one of the gang members looked up to and relied upon to get them out of this mess, he's strained by the notion that they may not be getting out this time. With the West slowly transformed into a civilized hellhole, they are forced to move in all directions despite the place they wanted to return to most. Grimly aware that the age of outlaws may be up, Arthur does what he can under Dutch to get money for their escape, all according to plan... Until a detour. Stuck in a rut of her own, the independent, God-fearing, and wistful Summer Grace Monroe has been searching for her own place in life. After being scorned by lovers and in and out of jobs, she feels amiss her late twenties without a true home. She finds the most peace in her church and helping those in need, especially the local Native population. Her father, Captain Monroe, works within the Army as a voice for those being silenced. She helps others find their story, but what would be her own? Things all seem to take a turn when fate brings a chance encounter, permanently altering whatever path her life was going to take and intertwining her destiny with that of a notorious group of outlaws - yet she would not be the only one whose path would be changed. **This story will contain mature content such as violence/gore, sexual themes, and language. Do not read if you are under 18** [These characters all belong within the Red Dead Redemption universe/Rockstar, but I have made a few original characters and altered storylines.]

The gang has survived worse than this. Friends killed, money lost, and trouble still chasing them. But they were together as a family again and that should be all that mattered. Yet, Dutch's plans are growing crazier even with Hosea to speak against them. They're risking their lives for foolish gains and with Micah in Dutch's ear, there seems to be no end in sight. Worse, Arthur has pulled Charlotte further into the gang instead of out. The Pinkertons are closing in on them and if Arthur wants to survive, he needs to decide where to keep his loyalty: to himself or to the man leading them down a path of destruction.
