The year is 1899, somewhere in western America.
Two rival gangs are butting heads, the O'Driscolls and the Van Der Linde gang, lead by two feuding ex-partners in crime. Pinkertons are closing in, working to eradicate gunslingers completely as their time in the wild west comes to an end.
Ethel O'Driscoll, heir to the gang finds himself coming to terms with the fact that his father isn't actually a father and comes up with a plan to escape the stressful and unsureness of morality that comes with being an outlaw.
However, he just manages to fall into the grasps of the opposite gang, captured by an older man named Cadence Hannery.
Follow along as Ethel comes to terms with his history of abuse, build new relationships, and escape his own gilded birdcage. All with Cadence at his side, producing enough bickering between the two to last the rest of the gang for years to come.
((very loosely based around rdr2, mainly just the wild west. this was done very quickly. im just throwing a few chapters up to see how it would do,))

Colm's Daughter
Lucille makes an interesting deal with Dutch to protect herself from her former O'Driscoll gang. She and Dutch find out that they both have a raging obsession when it comes to killing Colm O'Driscoll. Arthur develops feelings for Lucille and just wants all the revenge to be over with. This follows a somewhat similar plot as the game, except that in the beginning, Dutch and his gang find my original character, Colm's daughter Lucille O'Driscoll, in the mountains instead of ever finding Sadie or Kieran. (I also pretended that Jack and Abigail never existed because I felt that families/kids are not okay in the context of so much erotica sorry).Complete

Blood Bourbon
A down to earth cowboy with a past is thrown into the supernatural world, when he falls for a vampire who has demons of his own. Daryl's a bullfighter on the national circuit, stretching his pay check as far as it will go between himself and his brother's farm back in Texas. He also has the misfortune of being incredibly unlucky in love and stumbles into the wrong bar trying to forget a night he can only half remember. The bartender tells him to not go looking for trouble, but amongst the dark shadows and beautiful faces, it finds him in the form of Ryker. Ryker isn't known for being a nice guy. He's got a line that most people would believe is too malleable, but he is one of the good guys. Always shooting off his mouth at the wrong time or getting himself into fights he should avoid (but can handle) he sees the cowboy and goes in search of a fight. But neither man is prepared for the battle of wills and emotions that ensue from their broken attempts at understanding whatever it is that draws them together time and again. The more Daryl is drawn into Ryker's dark world, the more obvious it is that the Cowboy's half forgotten past may be more related to the shadow games and machinations of the very agency that has been trying to kill Ryker and the rest of the supernatural world for decades now. Mature themes. Violence, Swears. (Based in the universe of @Whiskeyjanedoe 's Breaking series. This is a little more than a love story) cover by @whiskeyjanedoeComplete
