John Trail, light hearted yet semi serious bandit, spends his days roaming the trails and paths of 1890's north Texas, when one day he is visited by a hired gunslinger hitman, who was sent to kill John. After John outsmarts him with his bandit experience,
John decides to look for who sent the killer. John forgives his contracted killer, Wren Frame, and asks him for his help. Embarrassed by his defeat at the hands of a mere bandit, Wren accepts in the condition that he is payed for his help. John agrees and prepares for his journey. He walks across town asking if anyone knows the contracter. During one of his bandit missions, he overhears a woman named, Mary Leathers, talking about a known contractor. He doesn't hear the name but hears the name "Fort Worth" he confronts her and asks her for information. She agrees but is very reluctant to go against the powerful contractor. She tells him that the contractor doesn't give out his name to anyone. But he's very wealthy and uses money to keep people quiet. He has a right hand man that does all his scouting for him. No one knows the right hand man either. John must now find and kill the contractor before his hitmen kill him him first.

The Madam of Purgatory Reach by lcjocelyn
58 parts Complete Mature
1870, Philadelphia, USA. Martha Whitcomb, the wild child of Philadelphia society, is now a grown woman, independent in wealth and in personality. At twenty-three, still unmarried and childless, she is exposed to constant rumors and ridicule, crushed by the ever-increasing weight of the sneers and jibes of her peers, and haunted by the failed engagement to the one who got away. Her dreams of becoming a successful businesswoman are blocked at every turn by the men around her, who are determined to smother the voice of a young woman intruding in their world. Realizing that she will never fit into the mold already set by society, Martha joins the droves of Americans heading west to the open frontier, a world that appears free from restraints, from convention, and from the expectations she has come to loathe. Upon her arrival to the growing town of Paradise Reach, she believes that she has indeed found her paradise. She soon realizes, however, why this town's inhabitants have dubbed it Purgatory Reach. She quickly learns that the west is free from the suffocating rules because it is a world more focused on immediate survival. It is a world where an insult could quickly escalate to a gunfight in the streets, a dangerous world crawling with outlaws, thieves, liars, and schemers. One of these outlaws is Jack Gatling, a rancher-turned-gambler. Escaping both demons of his own and the law, Jack came to Paradise Reach in hopes of making his fortune only to find himself focused on staying alive until tomorrow. In Martha, he sees an opportunity of his own, a chance to earn the riches he has been chasing. Martha knows she has two choices: return to Philadelphia with her tail between her legs and lock herself back in her gilded cage, or succeed in a world where women have few choices but to sell their bodies to make a living. Can Purgatory Reach again become Paradise? **Sequel to Dear Rhodora**
You V.S. Mafia by scaryberry123

[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for. However, when she somehow gets thrown into the mix and is in the crossfires of a brutal mafia war that she has no business being a part of, things spiral out of control and she has to do whatever it takes to regain her freedom. In this hectic adventure of gun fights, torture, bank robbing and intimidating mafia men, Liza has to face it all, putting her average life on the line in order to defeat the bad guys and go back to her normal way of living.
Flames Through Sorrow (TCM) by Hydrakinz
21 parts Ongoing Mature
Based on one of the biggest horror movie series to ever hit the video game universe, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I do not claim any sort of ownership to the lore of TCM, only to the story ahead. For those reading this on Wattpad, please take note that not all tags/themes can be listed here, and a much more detailed listing will be put on AO3/Archive Of Our Own. This story will contain very violent and inappropriate themes and natures and is not suitable for readers below the age of eighteen, although, I can't technically stop anyone from reading my work, it is required of me to warn those out there, respectfully. - Johnny Sawyer was known for his sinister attitude and overly confident way on the hunting ground, and he just about never failed to search for the thing his family sought him out to find. Under this unyielding role, he was one of the most honored underneath the family pride. With his mother being put away by the law of the modern age, it was up to him and the rest of the family to keep things going just as they always have. Everything would be abnormally normal for quite some time, and the usual struggle was strong in Johnny's veins at being without the person who kept him on his toes from morning till night. Johnny was unaware that his life would soon unfold into one of the biggest lies he's ever known and send him down a spiraling roller-coaster of hell-bent rage and regret. To top it all off, a thing he never knew or cared for was his biggest motive for mercy. Love. -
