Yellowstone: Ashes in Her Blood
Sixteen-year-old Sawyer Lane didn't come to the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch looking for redemption - she came to survive.

She used to ride rodeo, used to break colts, used to believe in something like freedom. But when Rip and Lloyd see past her sharp edges, and a quiet cowboy named Rowan starts pushing her buttons - and protecting her heart - Sawyer is pulled into a world of grit, loyalty, and bloodlines that don't have to be by birth. She's not here to be saved. She's here to fight her way back. Even if that means fire. Even if that means the brand. And when her past comes hunting, Sawyer doesn't run. She rides straight into it.Complete

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. While not all scenes are shown in graphic detail, the themes are intense, realistic, and emotionally heavy throughout. Reader discretion is strongly advised.Complete
