Sacred Scars (Book I)
John Marston had never considered himself a handsome man by any means. Riddled by the claws of a wolf, his face was one that struck fear in others, making his life as an outlaw with the Van der linde gang a work of ease. Loneliness was a long time companion, a condition that would only change when matched with another holding scars deeper then his own. Such wounds ran deep in the green eyed beauty Lilah Preston. Now, with something so precious under his wing, would John be able to look beyond his own deep gashes and find the strength to carry the one girl that had the power to help him heal. *Note I do not own Red Dead Redemption or any of its characters.

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.
