Summary
(This is an on going work)
This is the story of how Josiah Trelawny joined the Dutch Vanderlinde Gang and his long and passionate relationship with Arthur Morgan. I based this off of how I and many others feel there is a lot of secret queer communication in the game, especially from characters like Josiah Trelawny. A lot of things from his dialogue is left in mystery. Stuff which Arthur always seems to understand. So what if some of Arthur and Josiah’s interactions in the game play were coded talk referring to more private moments. A long building love story unfolds.
This story will eventually run past Ch. 6 of the game itself. High Honor. -

Summary
Life was quiet. Peaceful and harmonic most of the time. You didn’t know a different life, being raised in a convent. The outside world was foreign to you, only ever gotten small glimpses of it when listening to the older nuns or churchgoers. It fascinated you ever since.
And you wanted to experience it. Wanted to see for yourself what this world was about.
You wanted to run away.
Run away and see the world, feel real freedom, love and everything you missed out on.
Though, under lucky -or maybe unfortunate circumstances, you might’ve gotten more than you wanted, as you got tangled up with West Elizabeth’s most wanted outlaw gang, experiencing the complete opposite of your previous life. Then again, wasn’t drastic change necessary to transform your life and grow as a human? Wasn’t this exactly what you wanted? Dreamt of at night?
It was a difficult situation. Still, old habits die hard, what leaves you suspended between your old life, and your new one.
Though, the religious influence might’ve diminished somewhat, as you had noticed that a certain rugged outlaw seemed to have kept an eye on you, not the God you believed in…

Summary
A fan take on what Red Dead Redemption 3 might be about, following the journey of Colm O'Driscoll and his brother, Cillian, until they meet the Van der Linde gang, and the fallout afterwards.
"As Cillian looked over the abraded clothes he now found himself in, the same ones from the case his brother had unloaded, he adjusted the new hat that held his long scraggly mousy-brown hair tied up high to look short. He'd wrapped an old tablecloth scrap-turned-bandana around his face and pulled it up past his nose, ashes from the family’s fireplace smudged across what parts of his face remained uncovered, and held firmly in his hand the worn colt action revolver, Cillian knew this time would be no different. As his brother leads, he follows."

Summary
Dutch has become caught up in his outlandish plans once again, which is nothing new to Hosea. Except for this time, it involves an unruly teen.
And Hosea is not happy.
Although, he'll soon discover that maybe the boy isn't all that he seems.
This story follows the gang and includes events that happened pre-game. It was originally going to be a series of one-shots but grew into a character study of sorts. The gang has been through its fair share of heartbreak, but there was also a lot of good in the past.

The devil does not punish for reason other than that he can.
He'll appear to man wearing the facade of a friend; hiding the sound of his rattlin' tail 'neath the clink of glasses and beckon him to the indulgence of sin, but he does not punish for reason other than ability.
Often, he'll seize that which man has taken for granted- Language:

Summary
As the Christmas holidays draw near, Kitty and her family visit her elderly great-grandmother's homestead, hidden in the depths of the Ambarino mountains. Having no real connection to her grandmother, Kitty sees the trip as a chance to explore, rather than reconnect.
Though upon arrival, Kitty is met with strange snippets of her grandmother’s elusive past; photos of unknown faces, engraved six-pointers and the odd feeling of familiarity with a stag, lingering on the edges of the homestead.
When a ferocious storm snows the family indoors, Kitty may finally get answers to the many secrets her Grandmother was hiding.
Who the hell was Arthur Morgan?
