A year after narrowly escaping a night that changed everything, Evangeline Thornton has built a new life-one carefully structured, one that doesn't leave room for the ghosts of her past. Working as a journalist for a prestigious publication, she keeps her head down, her focus sharp. She doesn't look back.

Until she's assigned a story she never saw coming.

Her subject? Dust River Run-the band captivating the music scene with their raw sound and meteoric rise. The problem? Their frontman is Arthur Morgan.

The man she swore she'd never see again.

Thrown back into his world, Evangeline finds herself walking a razor-thin line between professional duty and unresolved history. The closer she gets to the truth behind the band's success, the more tangled she becomes in secrets, scandal, and the pull of something she thought she'd buried long ago.

For Arthur, fame was never the goal, and with it has come more than he bargained for-fractured friendships, whispers of sabotage, and the weight of mistakes he can't outrun. Now, with Evangeline back in his orbit, old wounds resurface, and the past refuses to stay buried.

As tensions rise and the lines between past and present blur, Evangeline is forced to confront the one question she never wanted to ask: Is the truth worth the price of letting him back in?

Ghosts of the Past [ RDR2 - Arthur Morgan ] by Kindcube

COMPLETE When Arthur met Rosemary at the young age of 25, he was pretty much a goner. It seemed Arthur had a thing for kindly little women. Maybe because deep down all he really wanted was an honest life on a ranch, with a lady he could worship and provide for like a real man should. And in his short time with Rosemary he allowed himself to play make believe that that could ever happen. But like most good things in Arthur's life - that came to a crashing end when Dutch uplifted the gang from that town to move on again. But people from the past always have a way of showing up when you least expect it.

Stand Unshaken (Arthur Morgan x Reader) by OneArtsyGamer03

The Van Der Linde gang, a group of people who have chosen to reject the rules of society and the power of the government, not wanting to be ruled by anyone and instead living by their own code and laws. After a failed heist in Blackwater, the group, led by Dutch van der Linde, will travel east across America to escape those who pursue them, encountering an old rival, and dangers around every corner. 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. ...

Arthur Morgan x Reader by imagineyourcreator

[Completed] The beginning of the story takes place when they settled in Colter. When everyone was together before they moved to horseshoe overlook. Traveling the wild west can be a hell of a journey! It even gets crazier when you meet a man named Arthur Morgan, your life is going great but as you get into more and more trouble. Things go south really fast.

Stuck in a rut of her own, the independent, God-fearing, and wistful Summer Grace Monroe has been searching for her own place in life. After being scorned by lovers and in and out of jobs, she feels amiss her late twenties without a true home. She finds the most peace in her church and helping those in need, especially the local Native population. Her father, Captain Monroe, works within the Army as a voice for those being silenced. She helps others find their story, but what would be her own? Things all seem to take a turn when fate brings a chance encounter, permanently altering whatever path her life was going to take and intertwining her destiny with that of a notorious group of outlaws - yet she would not be the only one whose path would be changed. **This story will contain mature content such as violence/gore, sexual themes, and language.

Mud and Gold [Arthur Morgan] [RDR2] by catharsxs

➵ ❝Y'know... I ain't a good man.❞ ❝You're good to me, and that's enough.❞ ➵ Arthur Morgan had heard many tales about grand treasures hidden all over the Heartlands, yet he wasn't one to believe in mere rumors as such, most claimed by drunken lowlifes spending their miserable lives in rundown saloons. Until the day the Van der Linde gang saves a farm girl from Colm O'Driscoll's boys, and something more; with a legitimate treasure map in the girl's possession, the chance to earn a great amount of gold arises, and is far too tempting for Dutch van der Linde to turn down. Arthur takes it upon himself to find this secret stash of gold - and it's during this treasure hunt where the outlaw finds out more than he'd bargained for; the gold is not the only secret that has remained hidden for far too long. ➵ Arthur Morgan x Fem!reader ➵ Warning: this story contains foul language, violence, gore and death. ➵ Credits: RDR2/Arthur Morgan belongs to Rockstar Games, I only own my writing. ➵ Cover edited by @catharsxs ➵ IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED RDR2, BE AWARE OF POTENTIAL SPOILERS IN THIS STORY !!

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 sucker 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.
