1891: A Red Dead Redemption 2 Prequel
Dutch Van der Linde, Hosea Matthews, and their adopted progeny look different in 1891. Mostly peaceful, largely law-abiding (with some natural exceptions)...the tensions between Arthur Morgan and John Marston revolve not around the pull of a trigger but the daughter of Dutch Van der Linde, who John has grown up loving, and Arthur's just come to notice. How will their shifting affections affect, in turn, the motley family they've built? *** This is a new prequel to the events of Red Dead Redemption 2, featuring an OC, Dutch's daughter Emmylou "Lou" Van der Linde. A heads-up that I did write a short with Dutch's daughter in it a while back ("Three ProtΓ©gΓ©s", in the Bellicose collection, but this one will be different. Mostly romance, some darker themes coming in (can't help myself). Definitely 18+! All characters from RDR2 belong to Rockstar Games. (Also a note that I couldn't find a credit for who edited the pic of young John I used for my cover - if this was you, I love it!)

The wild, wild West (Arthur Morgan x f!Reader)
And finally, through the first snowflakes that started tumbling through the harsh wind, I spotted two silhouettes. Clad in thick winter coats, guns strapped to their backs. Each step filled with grim determination as they waded through the knee-high snow towards us. They stopped a few feet away. The taller man's eyes met mine. He carried himself with silent confidence, evident in the expression on his weathered, undeniably handsome face. Sky-blue eyes framed by thick brows, chapped, full lips, a crooked nose. An association lingered in the back of my head, but I couldn't quite grasp it, until I asked: βWho are you?" {-}-{-}-{-}-{-}-{-}-{-}-{-}-{-} Oh, the hatred that she holds for Dutch van der Linde. While running with the O'Driscolls for over ten years, this man had been the bane of her existence. Now, three years after leaving the gang, she gets lost up in the Grizzlies on the run from the bounty on her head. When she saves one of Van der Linde's men from a wolf attack and gets taken in by them as an ally, she has to face that hatred again. And then there's also Arthur Morgan, Dutch's right hand man, who won't let her forget either that they were enemies once. βοΈCurrently undergoing heavy editingβοΈ This story is a reader insert, but I avoid uses of (Y/n) as much as I can. Enjoy!Complete
