Metal.

What once was an unfailing smell that lingered in the air mixed in with the gun smoke is now a familiar taste. 

The warm blood creeps from her mouth, channeling through the cracks of her dried and cold lips.

A scoff escapes the man's lips as he stares at the sight before him. 

"Huh, some outlaw you came to be, little lady," the man gives a deep chuckle and squats down, looking at the once untouchable outlaw who has now found herself at the expense of her kidnappers. "Yer pathetic excuse of a gang ain't gon save you now, sweetheart." His words dripped with venom and pierced the nerves of the girl laid out in front of him, beaten and battered by the hands of many men.

She gives him a weak smile as she spits out blood from her mouth. In a weak attempt to speak, she was able to give him a warning as she desperately gasped for air. 

"Don't.. Don't you worry about them now," She warns, looking up at him with fury in her gaze. 

"'Cus when I come back to your shit..shit show of a shack." She exclaims while pacing her breath.

"Hell is coming with me."

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

Summary: ***this story is being revised on AO3 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.

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.)

Better Not Look Down - Red Dead Redemption II by charlesrothe

Javi joins the Van Der Linde gang after years of being on the run, finding refuge within it. He soon falls for the toughest member, Arthur. However, Arthur's cold demeanor turns him towards an Irishman named Sean-unaware of Arthur's true feelings. EXCERPT: Arthur itched his scruffy beard, "You don't look like a farmer." "My curiosity is peaked, Blondie. What is it you thought I did for work before I joined you all?" Javi asked with a smirk, his head moving up and resting on Sean's shoulder. Arthur gulped. "I dunno, I suppose I figured you were a whore or sumthin." The folks at the campfire bursted out laughing. They weren't laughing at Arthur, they were laughing at the image of Javi being a working girl of some sort. Still, Arthur felt insecure. "It's not that crazy of an idea!" He shouted. Javi calmed down, "It's alright, I was not judging your guess, though I am curious what part of me screamed man-whore?" He looked at Javi, analyzing his face. He wasn't sure why that was the first career he matched the Chilean boy's face. It just slipped out, but he felt as though he needed to justify himself. "I ain't too sure. I suppose your looks?" "Do you like the way I look, Mr. Morgan?"
