"And like Icarus who selfishly flew to close to the sun, I flew to you, only to fall from the fire in your eyes." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They say the best moments in life are concluded by the little things. The small glimmers of hope that overtake all the bad things, and make living just a bit more bearable. And for Esmeralda Gillis, her small moments came into play, as soon as John Marston entered her life. A broken soul tarnished by the cruel world, that was only held together by a small bunch of desperados on the run. But in comes Esmeralda, prancing into his life like she owned the damn world, and picked up the pieces of life he long forgot about, and brought him back together. She formed his heart, and made it beat erratically in his chest. Oh how she knew how to play him, always leaving him wanting more, but was left with nothing. She used him, as he would always deduce, so he decided to use her in return. But John didn't know that actions, caused even bigger reactions. And her reaction, was one he would never forget. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2] [JOHN MARSTON X OC] [©viva_la_charlie]

A Van Der Linde and an O'Driscoll. They always ask 'what if?', never 'what will?'. ----- This is an OC x Arthur story. I don't own Red Dead Redemption 2, or anything affiliated with it. I only own my characters.
