What if?

What. If?

Dutch Van der Linde.

One of the most wanted men, along with his companions; Hosea Matthews, Susan Grimshaw, Arthur Morgan, and John Marston. 

A gang of outlaws. A family of misfits.

You know the story, and how it goes, and how it ends. But what if things were different? 

What if Dutch had something to protect, to keep him sane through their downfall? What if Arthur had someone smart enough to avoid his death? What if the Van Der Linde Gang had someone watching their backs? What if the rat was someone else, and Micah really is just an asshole?

Bad Beginnings (A RDR2 Fanfic) by LavenderShowers

--- "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.

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.

Vows of Returning: A Red Dead Redemption 2 Story ( Arthur Morgan xOC ) by goodbyelisahoney

Arthur Morgan x OC: "Take a boozy short leave of your nymphs on the shore, and silence their mourning with vows of returning, though never intending to visit them more." After a near-deadly shootout in Valentine, Arthur Morgan retreats to a wooded cabin to lick his wounds and recover. But the reclusive woman he meets there causes him to question everything he believes in, and all of the people he holds dear. Does she have secrets of her own that she's hiding? ** Hi all; this is a little RDR2 romance (Arthur x original character) story. It follows the events of the game for the most part (meaning there are some spoilers, if you haven't finished the game yet!), but there are some changes/additions. Of course, all RDR2 characters/settings are Rockstar Games. Hope you all enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts. This story was completed September 18, 2021. A content warning: depictions of sex, violence, swearing, and other mature themes.
