Dying West (Cowboy Kate Bishop x Outlaw Male Reader [RDR])

In the dying Wild West, 1899 marks the end of an era. The Van der Linde gang, once symbols of freedom and rebellion, now find themselves cornered by the relentless march of progress and the unyielding pursuit of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Among them is Y/N L/N, a young outlaw searching for purpose and survival in a world that's quickly leaving men like him behind

Enter Kate Bishop, a bounty hunter with a steady hand and a vendetta carved into her heart. The Pinkertons took her family, and now she hunts both outlaws and lawmen alike, driven by justice and revenge. But her rigid moral compass begins to waver when she crosses paths with Y/N

They're opposites in every way: Y/N, the loyal outlaw trying to hold onto a crumbling dream, and Kate, the bounty hunter caught between her hatred for criminals and her distrust of authority. Yet, despite the bullets and heated words they exchange, something deeper begins to spark between them... an understanding forged in hardship and loss

As the gang races against time, betrayal, and the tightening grip of the Federal Government, Y/N and Kate must decide whether to remain on opposite sides of the law or carve out a path of their own in a world that shows no mercy to outcasts.

In a land of fading legends and rising shadows, can an outlaw and a bounty hunter find something worth fighting for... together?
