Red Dead Redemption
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🌶️

A shadow walks beside me cloaked in velvet words and fire his voice a hymn I once believed his hand a torch in endless night. But ember turns to ash and trust tastes bitter on the tongue. The closer I lean the colder the flame becomes. Brother, father, phantom king your crown is made of blood. I kneel in faith yet the knife is already singing and my throat burns with every step further into the hell you drag me with you. Am I enough for you now? After I killed for you after I died for you? Can you taste the faith in me now? Am I still your favorite? 🌺ღೋ───:⋆꙳•❅*°⋆❆.ೃ࿔*:・*❆ ₊⋆ Arthur Morgan x OC (Mary Burton) Tags: minors DNI, slowburn, smut, age gap between 24 and 36, porn with plot, violence, depression, family problems, obsession, yearning, toxic relationship, PTSD, financial problems, death, mentions of rape and harassment in family members, emotional and physical abuse, manipulation, trauma bonding, fake identity, doomed romance
