Evangeline Thornton, an ambitious journalism major, is nearing graduation with honors. For her final project, she's chosen to tackle a growing issue in her city-an alarming rise in gang violence. Determined to uncover the truth, she dives deep into the city's darker side. But when her car breaks down one afternoon, she's unexpectedly drawn into the orbit of Arthur Morgan, a skilled mechanic and the frontman of a local band that's gaining attention.

Arthur, alongside his bandmates-John, Charles, Lenny, and Sean-straddles the line between the city's vibrant music scene and its more dangerous elements. As Evangeline continues her investigation, she finds herself frequently visiting Arthur's shop, where their paths cross amid the chaos surrounding the city. Both Evangeline and Arthur carry the weight of personal challenges: she with her engagement to Benjamin Wright, and Arthur with his complicated ties to Mary Gillis.

As Evangeline digs deeper into her story, she uncovers hidden connections that stretch beyond her initial research, pulling her closer to the heart of the city's unrest. With every new revelation, both she and Arthur are forced to confront their own pasts and make decisions that could alter the course of their futures.

In a city where trust is fragile and danger is never far behind, Evangeline's search for the truth becomes more personal than she ever expected.

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.
