When the Smoke Clears is a visceral, slow-burn fanfiction set in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2. You are Harlan van der Linde's daughter - born into outlaw blood, but raised in a house ruled by fear. After years of silence, years of enduring the man who killed your mother and kept you captive, you finally break free - leaving behind blood, fire, and a past you can never outrun. You flee to the only place that might still feel like home: Dutch van der Linde's camp. A place you once visited frequently when you were younger, but you're not a child anymore, and the gang doesn't know what to make of you - especially Arthur Morgan, who remembers your father and the girl he'd brought around camp, but who knows nothing of the woman you've become. As old loyalties clash with new tensions, you must navigate a world where trust is scarce, danger is constant, and your freedom has come at a steep cost. ~•~•~ This story is a reader insert, but I still have yet to use (y/n). Important note: This story is INSPIRED by Red Dead Redemption 2. Not BASED on RDR2. This will follow many of the same themes and loose plot lines of the game, but I am mainly using the characters from the game to write my own story. So don't expect everything from the game to translate over into this story. Disclaimers: Mature audiences only. Sexual content, mention of rape and physical abuse, smoking, drinking, cursing, murder, violence, and of course... 🌶️ SMUT🌶️

After her mother's death, Charlotte finds herself an 11 year old orphan in the quiet town of Strawberry. She is drawn to the dangerous life of stealing to earn enough money to keep herself alive. One day, a tall stranger shows up at her door, introducing himself as Dutch Van der Linde... Her long lost father. She is raised side by side with Arthur Morgan though the two never consider each other siblings but rather enemies, divided by Dutch's favoritism for his un-biological son. As they grow older, Hosea advises Charlotte that it's time to put the rivalry to bed and asks her to look at Arthur from a new angle. She begins having strange dreams about him, spurred by a traumatic event in her life. When she gets stuck with him after fleeing Valentine, they get into a heated fight that twists into something neither of them thought would ever happen... #1 in Dutch Van Der Linde #6 in Wild West #1 in Western Warning: contains heavy depictions of violence, alcohol and drug use, smut and foul language Listen while you read!
