'What really went down back there on that boat?' - Arthur Morgan

In May of 1899, Dutch Van Der Linde leads his gang into a ferry robbery on the port of Blackwater, West Elizabeth. Aboard the Horizon, soon-to-be mother Heidi McCourt waits for the ferry to dock to reunite with her husband Stanley so they may begin their new life in Great Plains.

Based on the 2010 Rockstar Games western 'Red Dead Redemption' and the 2018 prequel 'Red Dead Redemption 2', the Blackwater Massacre is an infamous moment in the Red Dead series history. It is a catalyst for much of the events in the first and second Redemption games. This story uses characters from the series to explore what may have happened on that fateful day.

This story contains potential spoilers for 'Red Dead Redemption 1' & '2'. It is advised you play both games before reading this. This is all purely speculation based on incomplete in-game accounts.

The Angel Butcher of Rio Bravo: An RDR2 Story

44 parts Complete Mature

[ 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.
