Ivy Morgan was raised by master conmen. As Arthur's younger half-sister and a core member of the Van der Linde gang, she's lived her life by the gun, the bottle, and a fierce, unshakable loyalty to the only family she's ever known. But when the gang's world begins to crumble under the weight of the law and Dutch's spiraling ambition, Ivy finds herself caught in a crossfire of secrets and lies.
Her heart has always belonged to John Marston, a man as haunted as the hills they roam. But when a devastating betrayal shatters her trust, Ivy is forced to question everything: her home, her future, and the man she thought she knew. While the Pinkertons close in and the bodies of fallen friends pile up, a personal war erupts within the camp, Ivy must decide if she's willing to burn with the family that raised her-or if she's strong enough to forge a new path in a world that's outgrown outlaws.
All characters (minus Ivy Morgan and Caroline Addams) and storyline are based on the story from the Red Dead Redemption games from Rockstar Games. This is just a fun Fanfiction! I just write because it brings me joy. If you don't like the idea of John not being with Abigail, this isn't the story for you.
**THIS STORY IS FOR MATURE READERS (18+) ONLY! ** ALL THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH to Zey (@v.eckati) for the cover art!! Go check her out!

Bad Beginnings (A RDR2 Fanfic)
--- "Do you have a name, son?" the man asked. Arthur looked up. No one ever asked. What was his name? Oh yeah. "Arthur Morgan, sir." "Dutch Van Der Linde," the man replied, reaching out his hand to shake. Arthur accepted it. His hand seemed little compared to the other man's. Soon after, Dutch's associate exited the store. Dutch stood, so Arthur naturally did the same, wanting to get on the men's good side. "And that would be my associate, Hosea Matthews!" Dutch turned to Hosea. "Hosea, meet this young chap here, Arthur Morgan." --- A RDR2 fanfic about the origins of Arthur Morgan and how he came across the men who would save him.

As internal conflict starts to brew, Arthur Morgan and his childhood friend, (Y/N) (L/N) are forced to choose between their ideals and their loyalty to the gang. ...

The Angel Butcher of Rio Bravo: An RDR2 Story
[ 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.
