[[A slow burn OCxArthur story with both new and original characters]]

They say the best things in life are unplanned. But sometimes... they're the worst. 

After the Blackwater catastrophe, Arthur feels the heavy weight of responsibility; being one of the gang members looked up to and relied upon to get them out of this mess, he's strained by the notion that they may not be getting out this time. 

With the West slowly transformed into a civilized hellhole, they are forced to move in all directions despite the place they wanted to return to most. Grimly aware that the age of outlaws may be up, Arthur does what he can under Dutch to get money for their escape, all according to plan...

Until a detour. Stuck in a rut of her own, the independent, God-fearing, and wistful Summer Grace Monroe has been searching for her own place in life. After being scorned by lovers and in and out of jobs, she feels amiss her late twenties without a true home. She finds the most peace in her church and helping those in need, especially the local Native population. Her father, Captain Monroe, works within the Army as a voice for those being silenced. She helps others find their story, but what would be her own?

 Things all seem to take a turn when fate brings a chance encounter, permanently altering whatever path her life was going to take and intertwining her destiny with that of a notorious group of outlaws - yet she would not be the only one whose path would be changed.

Under The Eyes of The Wolf (an rdr2 Arthur Morgan x oc story) by reddfoxx29

The van der Linde gang has taken shelter deep in the snowy mountains in an old mining camp known as Colter, following their botched robbery in the town of Blackwater. They are cold, hungry and unsure of what their futures hold. As Arthur Morgan is out desperately trying to track down game to bring back and feed to the starving gang he stumbles across an animal unlike any even he, in all of his travels, has ever seen before. In the process of finding out the unique story behind it he meets a woman. He can't decide if this woman's presence in the same desolate, snow covered wilderness as he and the gang are in is mere coincidence or if there's more behind it than she's letting on. If it is pure coincidence that she's there than what is she doing alone on this frozen mountain? Whatever has brought her into his life he isn't sure but what he does know is he can't get her image out of his mind. Her bright red hair along with her piercing gaze that seems to stare right through him. As he attempts to find out more about her he convinces himself it's strictly out of caution. It's his responsibility to make sure that she's harmless and poses no threat to them but somehow deep down he already knows the only thing she poses a threat to is his heart.

Joy & Woe - An Alternate RDR2 Story | Arthur Morgan x OC | by ponyboygrimes

[A Slow Burn Arthur Morgan x OC Story] ~ By 1897, Joyce Robbins is a petty criminal in her late 20s due to a series of unfortunate events - the common denominator for most like her, it seems. Having tragedy struck at a young age, Joyce finds herself plunged into the life of a single woman desperate for work and money to help provide for her and her siblings - and in this world, that only gives you about two options: stealing or selling yourself. So, she opted to steal. Simple memories she'd made long ago seem to determine her fate, however, as some familiar faces show up and completely alter her sullen trajectory. When a fateful meeting goes much differently than expected, Joyce is again left with two choices: die, or keep moving forward. So again, she opts for the latter. ~ [THIS STORY WILL INCLUDE MATURE CONTENT SUCH AS VIOLENCE, GORE, SEXUAL THEMES, ETC. THIS STORY USES CHARACTERS AND INSPIRATION FROM ROCKSTAR'S RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 AS WELL AS ORIGINAL CHARACTERS.]

One Wrong Choice by PrimaryQ

This is a Red Dead Redemption 2 Fan-fic. Arthur Morgan x Female Y/n (Reader) Life is pretty simple as a rich woman. No, let me try that again, life is pretty simple as woman married to a rich man. Stay silent unless spoken too, dress with only the latest fashion, don't do anything unlady-like, and remain faithful to your husband no matter what. Heaven forbid a happily married, high society woman of any respectability be found going against any of these rules. Good thing then, you are not a happily married woman; and when a group of outlaws makes a sudden appearance in your dreary city of Saint Denis, you happily break every single rule in the book. This story will not follow strictly along the lines of Red Dead Redemption 2 but I will do my best to do every character the justice they deserve. However I'm a suckered for happy endings so I will be adding my own spin on it. DISCLAIMER: I do not own rdr2 or any of its characters. This is a non-profit fan made story.

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY: RDR2 by GingerBaggins

Nora has spent most of her life in solitude, travelling only with her business partner JB Cripps. Always on the move, never allowing herself the time to face the past that threatens to consume her. That is until she meets a particularly irritating outlaw at a bounty board and her life suddenly bursts into tremendous colour. But when the pendulum swings one way, eventually it'll swing the other. COMPLETE This is a work of fanfiction, with characters from Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 Online. I do not own this world, nor any character beyond the main OC. Neither do I own any of the literature and titles taken from the works of Robert Frost. (While this story follows along with the timeline and the main plot of the game, there will be divergences in the canon. Mainly that Arthur will not contract TB. As for who else lives and dies, I'm afraid you'll have to find out.)

Red Dead Revelation I: A Good Thing (ArthurXEliza) by SayHwaet

Summary: A story hidden in the past, no one really knows how Arthur and Eliza met. Despite its tragic ending, it had a beginning. One of love, hope, and an unknown future. Eliza Bloom was young and alone, recently made an orphan, and was merely trying to get by. Keeping any hopes and dreams that she once had tucked away, she worked long days as a waitress in the blossoming town's only restaurant in the wild, untamed West. Not being able to enjoy any of the pleasures a young woman was afforded, she had little time to socialize or see what the world had to offer. However, when a caravan of gold prospectors came into the town, she meets a tall, handsome stranger. She does not have any inclination as to how such an event, which was commonplace at her place of work, would change her life...and his. This is fanfiction expounding on the lore within Red Dead Redemption. I do not own the original characters or own Read Dead Redemption, which have been created by Rockstar. Eliza (Bloom) and Isaac are both my interpretations of the characters, as they were only lightly mentioned within the course of the second installment of the game's franchise. Alice Ford, Bethy, and additional characters that add depth to the story are my own creation. The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this literary work are fictitious. No identification with actual persons (living or deceased), places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred. Please note: not every installment is "mature," however, this is a fair warning that the themes in this story are appropriate for only mature audiences.

High Sierra: A Red Dead Redemption Story by SayHwaet

Set in an alternate universe, the story begins in a different time. In the 21st Century, Arthur Morgan works diligently as a game warden but seems to be having trouble in his personal life. Trying to find a balance and learn how to be honest with himself, he is swept into a discovery of dark secrets when he discovers a body in the woods. Most attribute it to a hunting accident, but Arthur and his friend Charles think there is something more sinister. As he tries to find the reason behind the series of killings, will he lose sight of what's important, or will he choose the life that is best for the ones he loves? I do not own Rockstar or any of its characters. This is merely fanfiction that expounds on the creation of Red Dead Redemption. The cover was illustrated by me, using the original characters as a reference.

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.
