The Ties we Choose-Red Dead Redemption 2 AU

Eight-year-old Clementine's world burned to the ground in a single night.
Her home, her family, her future, all gone in a storm of fire and rain. Left barefoot and alone on the fringes of a cold-hearted frontier town, she has nothing but a waterlogged family photo, a quilt her mother made, and the will to survive.

When outlaw Arthur Morgan finds her half-dead in a ditch, he doesn't expect to care. He's lost too much himself to take on a starving, meek child. But against his better judgment, he takes her in-and to his surprise, Clementine clings to him as the only light in a brutal world.

Life on the run with the Van der Linde gang is no place for a child, yet Clementine proves herself sharper, braver, and more dangerous than anyone expected. Still, every shot she fires, every risk she takes, pulls her deeper into a life she can't escape.

But outlaws aren't the only danger on the frontier. Shadows from Clementine's past are closing in-men who burned her home, and enemies who see her as Arthur Morgan's greatest weakness. And they'll stop at nothing to use her to destroy him.
