Beneath the Montana sky
In the wake of tragedy, John Dutton struggles to keep his fractured family together after the sudden death of his wife, Evelyn. His children, each dealing with their own grief, grow distant, leaving John to face the emptiness of the ranch alone. But when Lucille "Lucy" Pierce arrives, a strong-willed woman with a work ethic to rival the toughest cowboys, she begins to heal more than just the land. Over the years, Lucy becomes a steady presence, offering support to John's children, and her bond with them deepens. John's feelings for Lucy grow as well, torn between the love he still holds for Evelyn and the undeniable connection he shares with Lucy. On Lucy's 34th birthday, John brings home a troubled teenager named Rip, a boy who's lost everything and needs a place to belong. As Lucy takes Rip in, their bond as a family strengthens, but John's unspoken love for Lucy hangs in the air, unacknowledged yet ever present. In the unforgiving Montana wilderness, they find healing, love, and the courage to move forward-together.
Yellowstone: The Silence Between Screams
Cassidy was a ghost before the Duttons found her-barely seventeen, all scars and silence, with no record of her existence before age five. She doesn't speak of where she came from. But when Rip Wheeler stumbles across her on the edge of the ranch, bleeding and half-conscious, he brings her back-against every instinct but one: protect her. What begins as a reluctant act of mercy turns into something deeper as the Duttons start unraveling the truth. Cassidy's file, pulled by Jamie, reveals a history soaked in horror-sealed hospital records, sterilization at thirteen, SA reports, forced silence by the system, and a father among her abusers. She was supposed to disappear. She didn't. Now, the Dutton Ranch becomes more than just a place to heal. It becomes a battleground for Cassidy's survival, and maybe... her redemption. But healing isn't quiet. It's angry. It's raw. And it's coming for everyone who ever hurt her. ⚠️ Trigger Warnings: This fanfiction contains graphic references to childhood sexual abuse, trafficking, rape, self-harm, forced sterilization, eating disorders, PTSD, mental health struggles, violence, and systemic failure.

On the Outskirts
~"When are you going to do what's best for you Sadie? All you ever do is what's best for Hallie and push your own wants and needs to the bottom of the pile and let it hurt everyone else in the process."~ Sadie Taylor has been back in her hometown for 6 short months. After leaving 11 years ago, it's fair to say that her life now is a 180 spin on the free innocent teenager she left as. With her 9 year old daughter, Hallie, in toe, Sadie needs to find a new kind of normality where se can release the reins of control and learn to let go a little. She's more than happy taking things at her own pace. Hoping that if she moves slow enough, she can keep her and her daughter in their own little bubble that has kept them safe all these years. But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on. Ryder Matthews fucked up and he knows it. 11 years ago, he left the love of his lie in some pre-college life freak out and when he returned 3 years later, she was gone. After spending the better part of 14 months travelling the world in hopes of finding some kind of meaning to life outside of the little town where every turn is a burning memory of Sadie, he returns with no hope. He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey. Let alone with a child. Ryder and Sadie have a lot of baggage to unpack if they have any hope of being able to tolerate working together. But when his heart is still beating for her and her heart is locked behind solid concrete walls, is that even possible?Complete
Wildfire | Kayce Dutton • Yellowstone
If you were to ask me what if was like to fall in love with a cowboy, I would say it's like a wildfire. Once it starts, there's no way of stoping it. It burns you alive from the inside out. Consumes you, every part of you. At least that's how it felt for me when I fell for a cowboy, one who wasn't even mine and could never be mine because he belonged to somebody else and I'm left with figuring out how to put out this fire that is loving Kayce Dutton. ***** Darkness and tragedy was all Wren Wheeler knew from the day she was brought into this world. The only good thing in her life was her older brother, Rip. The one who saved her from the brutal ending their mother and younger brother weren't so lucky to escape from. She didn't believe they would ever have a chance of surviving out in the world. Not until John Dutton gave them a second chance at life, just as long as they swore to never bring their past with them to his ranch. The ranch where she found herself a family, a sister she never had, and a love she swore she'd never allow herself to experience. Because that kind of love was never meant for a girl like her. Kayce Dutton was never meant for her, and he could never be. They could never exist. Will destiny prove her wrong?
Yellowstone: Worn Leather & Wild Hearts
Dakota doesn't need saving-she needs space to burn and a place to bleed. At sixteen, she's already lived more than most grown men: running from foster homes, sleeping in truck beds, learning how to fight to survive. Her grandfather sends her to the one place that might still have a chance at saving her-the Dutton Ranch. No second chances. No handouts. Just grit, sweat, and silence. There, Dakota meets Jesse-a younger ranch hand who refuses to back down from her walls. She pushes, he stays. She bites, he bleeds. Slowly, against her instincts, she starts to trust. Starts to belong. But the bunkhouse doesn't forget where you came from. And neither does your past. Through scars, fire, branding irons, barn kisses, and loyalty carved in dust and blood-Dakota learns the hardest truth: Healing doesn't mean weakness. Love doesn't mean losing yourself. And family doesn't always share your blood. A slow-burn Yellowstone romance full of fight, fury, and finding home in the last place you'd expect.Complete
