Summary
I've been replaying rdr2, and have fallen in love with the van der linde gang again (well most of them). This story is au but follows the storyline of the game, and beyond, without the tb for obvious reasons. Hope you enjoy,
Isabella Hunter was rescued by Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthews at thirteen, only a year after they had taken in Arthur Morgan. They grew up together. Fought together, became best friends, spent their lives together and fell in love. Ten years ago, a terrible event happened, and Isabella was lost to the gang. Now they've found her again, and she needs to learn to relive as part of the family that had once been everything to her. As well as finding a way to be around the man she once loved and the man whose heart she broke.
(I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING TO DO WITH RED DEAD, THIS IS AN AU WHICH INCLUDES THE STORYLINE OF THE GAME, PARTS HAVE BEEN KEPT AND PARTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED. SOME QUOTES ARE FROM THE GAME ITSELF)
I know I've changed the timelines slightly making it that some of the gang members have been around longer tbh this is just so they aren't all strangers to Isabella -

Summary
Dead for centuries, you were reborn.
Into a body you didn't know and into a place unknown to you. Once your nice life gets ruined, you have to fit in as best you can.
Would you make it?
Another take on my book, Two and a half outlaw.
Later version of Owen is based of the fab version that belongs to Amras, which you can find on this site. That and Skibiborg on that X site. Did a few changes to him but keeps much to their version.

Summary
Pulled from blood and fear, she is given no absolution—only shelter.
Taken from Saint Denis and folded into the Van der Linde gang, she bears the mark of violence and the promise of consequence. As the world fractures and loyalty rots, love emerges not as redemption, but as defiance: a whisper that even sins stained scarlet might yet be washed clean.

Red Dead Redemption 2: A Silent Oath by TieraW

Summary
This is another tale of redemption, one that still belongs to Arthur Morgan. But within that brutal history, it is also a solemn elegy for the Chinese people who lived through it.
She knew how Arthur Morgan’s story was supposed to end.
She had played it. Remembered it. Grieved it.
Then she woke in 1899, half-frozen in the mountains of Ambarino, wearing the name Cloud Lee and carrying a past that did not entirely belong to her.
Disguised as a young Chinese man, hunted by enemies from Saint Denis, and taken in by the Van der Linde gang, Cloud Lee tries to survive in a world that was never meant to have her in it.
But the closer she gets to Arthur, the harder it becomes to stay silent.
And some oaths are made long before anyone has the courage to speak them aloud. -

Summary
“And how do you decide that?” he pressed.
Jay met his eyes now. “You can tell the difference,” she said. “Between a man who does what he does because he must… and a man doing a bad thing because he enjoys it.”
Silence again.
Dutch watched her as if she had just placed a card on the table.
“And what are you, Miss Garcia?” he asked quietly. “A woman doing what she has to… or a woman who enjoys it?”
There it was. The real question. Jay didn’t look away this time. “I enjoy surviving, Mr Van der Linde,” she said evenly. “And I don’t pretend it’s pretty.”

Summary
Ничего не произошло и тем не менее все произошло, и потому не должно было произойти снова. В какие бы слова Артур ни вкладывал произошедшее и свою невозможную цель, каждое его действие продолжало выглядеть как полный идиотизм.
Может, если в этот раз он будет действовать активнее. Если не станет до конца уповать на истощившееся благоразумие одного человека. Если в этот раз на все, что он пытался сделать наперегонки со смертью, ему отведено немного больше времени. -
Mountain Hymns and Whisky Sins by reddedmiller

Summary
She was raised on hymns and gun smoke. She tried to be soft; it didn't always work.
Odette Ward, wild at heart and her voice that haunted many, meant to be someone softer, she promised that after all.
Her mother, Élise, dressed her in lace and silk, showed her which perfumes suited her, how to rouge her cheeks, and how to accentuate her features. Her daddy, Gideon, taught her to shoot when she had to, never for sport unless she was hungry or angry. How to ride bareback, ladylike of course to appease Élise. A fever took them both, and she packed her grief and took to the roads and mountainous towns with a song and a revolver. She sang in towns for coins and kept to herself.
She was always told that pretty girls don't last long in these towns - unless they know how to aim or distract.
The Van der Linde camped in the pines, hidden but close enough to town, living well from successful jobs and Dutch's dreams and words, which were looking like promises and reality.
Arthur Morgan isn't what he once was.
He's lost his loves, and something he'll never have again, or so he thinks... Blood lingers on his hands and he has a heavy feeling on his shoulders; he'll never admit that. -

Summary
«Arthur looked down at Micah’s lifeless face as the disgusting man laid in a pool of his own blood.
His gun was still warm as he tucked it back into his holster with steady hands. Irene stood behind him, horrified, pale as a sheet.”
Micah tries touching the girl Arthur has been sweet on, or maybe something more than that, and he did not take it well.

Summary
After witnessing your father’s brutal death, you’re taken in by Dutch, Hosea along with Arthur — his former partners, bound by old deals and an unspoken debt they intend to repay. Raised within the Van der Linde gang.
But the girl they raised is fading, replaced by a woman who finds her home in the rough edges of Arthur Morgan.
The playful bickers and Arthur smiles have started to burn with a new, dangerous heat.
You are a flower growing in a field of gun smoke, reaching for a man who believes he is only capable of destruction.
If you ever dared to speak the truth of your heart, would he finally let himself hold you or would he push you away, breaking his own heart just to save you from his ruin?

Summary
The better part of your life has been spent being a good-for-nothing killer. The West was your graveyard as you traveled from state to state, face masked and gaze hidden beneath your brimmed hat while you robbed folk for all they had. It was wrong, sure, and you were certainly going to hell for it, but this was the only life you’d ever known and the only life you would ever live by.
That was until one day when you met the infamous Dutch van der Linde in a Blackwater saloon and managed to fall in with him and his gang. You didn’t belong with them–with Dutch’s high and mighty ideals and great plans for a new America. But, time and time again, just when you were on the brink of escaping them, the Van der Linde gang pulled you under once more.
You know all fine gunslingers die young, and that your clock is ticking. Will you be able to rid yourself of them before your time comes, or will you die a caged animal trapped within Dutch’s grasp, having forgotten the taste of freedom?
(The timeline and some events in the game have been changed for this story.)

the inevitable gamble (He'll Never See You) by justified_angst

Summary
Life, if you can call it that still, as an outlaw, is a gamble of heart and soul. You've already gambled your soul away for your portrait on wanted posters, fancy names for crimes that deemed you a menace, attached with the payout at the bottom.
Now, as you and the gang head east, the last thing you can throw into the pot is your heart. Or whatever's left of it after picking pieces off for the one person who still has the taste of another's on their tongue and doesn't seem interested in washing it down with anything but whisky.

Summary
First real fanfic and it's a Oc X Canon lol. This is very self indulgent and probably terrible. This might be very OOC because I can't play RDR2 so I'm just watching playthroughs.
I might make a collection of oneshots/short stories later with other ships and stuff idk.
I hope the 5 singular Orville fans that will read this approve and enjoy!PS: Please comment about grammar issues or spacing issues! And this fic may be periodically updated/changed if I think I need to fix or improve chapters. And don't expect consistent new chapters cuz I'm preparing for exams as of 18/4/2026
