"Do you have a name, son?" the man asked. 

Arthur looked up. No one ever asked. What was his name? Oh yeah. "Arthur Morgan, sir."

"Dutch Van Der Linde," the man replied, reaching out his hand to shake. 

Arthur accepted it. His hand seemed little compared to the other man's.

Soon after, Dutch's associate exited the store. Dutch stood, so Arthur naturally did the same, wanting to get on the men's good side. 

"And that would be my associate, Hosea Matthews!" Dutch turned to Hosea. "Hosea, meet this young chap here, Arthur Morgan."

A RDR2 fanfic about the origins of Arthur Morgan and how he came across the men who would save him.

Joy & Woe - An Alternate RDR2 Story | Arthur Morgan x OC | by ponyboygrimes

[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.]

The Angel Butcher of Rio Bravo: An RDR2 Story by goodbyelisahoney

[ Arthur Morgan / John Marston x OC love triangle ] "Let me be sweet to you," she murmured, nuzzling into his neck. "I'm always giving you such a time, aren't I?" * Tine Nilsen, known outside of the law as the Butcher of Rio Bravo, is a fearsome member of the Van der Linde gang when they run afoul of the Pinkerton detective agency in Blackwater. But will she help steer the gang and its two key gunslingers - Arthur Morgan and John Marston - right? Or will she be responsible for its downfall? * Well, here I go again, folks! Tine Nilsen was an OC cooked up for an otherworldly short story in my RDR2 collection, BELLICOSE (that story is called "Left Behind"). I liked her and her dynamic with Arthur and John so much, I thought I'd give this a spin! It will follow events of the game for the most part, but with the omission of a certain character, expect things to change, some. This story was completed on February 23, 2023. Hopefully you'll like it! This is a mature story written for mature, 18+ audiences: violence, swears, smut will all be within, reader beware. RDR2 and related characters/settings belong to Rockstar Games.

Under The Eyes of The Wolf (an rdr2 Arthur Morgan x oc story) by reddfoxx29

The van der Linde gang has taken shelter deep in the snowy mountains in an old mining camp known as Colter, following their botched robbery in the town of Blackwater. They are cold, hungry and unsure of what their futures hold. As Arthur Morgan is out desperately trying to track down game to bring back and feed to the starving gang he stumbles across an animal unlike any even he, in all of his travels, has ever seen before. In the process of finding out the unique story behind it he meets a woman. He can't decide if this woman's presence in the same desolate, snow covered wilderness as he and the gang are in is mere coincidence or if there's more behind it than she's letting on. If it is pure coincidence that she's there than what is she doing alone on this frozen mountain? Whatever has brought her into his life he isn't sure but what he does know is he can't get her image out of his mind. Her bright red hair along with her piercing gaze that seems to stare right through him. As he attempts to find out more about her he convinces himself it's strictly out of caution. It's his responsibility to make sure that she's harmless and poses no threat to them but somehow deep down he already knows the only thing she poses a threat to is his heart.

"Ya think ya see ya self loving an old, rough outlaw like myself?" "No....I see myself loving a broken man who just needs a little bit of love." ~~~~~~ Gwendolyn Washington was born into a wealthy Australian family, all she knew was being higher class. Dinner parties, ballgowns, and wealthy families; her parents forbade her from associating with anyone less than her class. Gwendolyn dreamt of a different life, a life of adventure and adrenaline. Arthur Morgan was quite the opposite. Orphaned at a young age he was taken in by a couple of strangers whom he grew up to think of as father figures. He was a rugged, rough outlaw who lived the life of adventure and adrenaline Gwen dreamt of. Maybe....just maybe Arthur Morgan could give Miss Washington the life she dreamed. But what's a love story without the blood, tears and betrayal?
