Bad Blood // Micah Bell (Red Dead Redemption 2 Story)
You betray my trust and you think you can come in here and treat me like I'm... like I'm..." She struggled to find the right words to say but Micah scoffed and dropped her hand and stared her directly in the eyes. "You really going to stay mad at me about that? I was drunk!" "You weren't drunk when you stole from me." She retaliated bitterly, wringing out the blood she had gathered from her forehead. "You live in a den of thieves. Thought you'd be used to that." Micah snapped back. "Not when my friend does it Micah!" She exclaimed, throwing the cloth at his chest in anger, her eyes burning with tears as she stared at the man in front of her. "I enjoyed riding with you and just getting to know you. The real you. Not this act of a big, tough and stupid guy. I saw good in you and then you did that." Natasha Fiore is a loyal member of the Van Der Linde Gang. Gun and knife in hand, she is always ready to face everyday as a new challenge but when she is forced to go on a stagecoach robbery with Arthur and Micah, everything turns sour and some unexplainable feelings appear.Complete![Mud and Gold [Arthur Morgan] [RDR2]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/179979302-256-k550097.jpg)
Mud and Gold [Arthur Morgan] [RDR2]
➵ ❝Y'know... I ain't a good man.❞ ❝You're good to me, and that's enough.❞ ➵ Arthur Morgan had heard many tales about grand treasures hidden all over the Heartlands, yet he wasn't one to believe in mere rumors as such, most claimed by drunken lowlifes spending their miserable lives in rundown saloons. Until the day the Van der Linde gang saves a farm girl from Colm O'Driscoll's boys, and something more; with a legitimate treasure map in the girl's possession, the chance to earn a great amount of gold arises, and is far too tempting for Dutch van der Linde to turn down. Arthur takes it upon himself to find this secret stash of gold - and it's during this treasure hunt where the outlaw finds out more than he'd bargained for; the gold is not the only secret that has remained hidden for far too long. ➵ Arthur Morgan x Fem!reader ➵ Warning: this story contains foul language, violence, gore and death. ➵ Credits: RDR2/Arthur Morgan belongs to Rockstar Games, I only own my writing. ➵ Cover edited by @catharsxs ➵ IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED RDR2, BE AWARE OF POTENTIAL SPOILERS IN THIS STORY !!Complete![Dutch's Daughter [[RDR2 Arthur Morgan x OC]]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/281975001-256-k822899.jpg)

The Last Draw
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.

1891: A Red Dead Redemption 2 Prequel
Dutch Van der Linde, Hosea Matthews, and their adopted progeny look different in 1891. Mostly peaceful, largely law-abiding (with some natural exceptions)...the tensions between Arthur Morgan and John Marston revolve not around the pull of a trigger but the daughter of Dutch Van der Linde, who John has grown up loving, and Arthur's just come to notice. How will their shifting affections affect, in turn, the motley family they've built? *** This is a new prequel to the events of Red Dead Redemption 2, featuring an OC, Dutch's daughter Emmylou "Lou" Van der Linde. A heads-up that I did write a short with Dutch's daughter in it a while back ("Three Protégés", in the Bellicose collection, but this one will be different. Mostly romance, some darker themes coming in (can't help myself). Definitely 18+! All characters from RDR2 belong to Rockstar Games. (Also a note that I couldn't find a credit for who edited the pic of young John I used for my cover - if this was you, I love it!)
