The Ending of an Outlaw by The_Summit_Scribbler
Fandoms: Red Dead Redemption (Video Games)
17 Feb 2026

Summary
Rosalind (Rose) Clarke never wanted to question the morals of the Van der Linde gang. She never wanted to flee out East, and she certainly never wanted to fall in love with her associate, Arthur Morgan. But that was life, she supposed. People rarely get what they want. Especially people who flee from lawmen, pinkertons, and bounty hunters. Those people only have to survive long enough to see what the life of an outlaw can bring. If they can even call it a life at all.
(A retelling of RDR2, starting at Horseshoe Overlook. Basically, a “what if Arthur Morgan didn’t get tuberculosis, but instead found purpose through loss and love”).
Tags will be added as the story progresses.

Summary
An AU in which Davey Callander survives the gang's escape from Blackwater, and in his place Death claims the life of another gang member- or leader, rather. As the Van Der Linde Gang falls into turmoil over the sudden death of their king, and a power vacuum ensues over who will take his place, Arthur Morgan must decide once and for all who he is without the heavy-handed influence of Dutch van der Linde.

Summary
After losing your best friend in the Blackwater Massacre, the only thing on your mind is finding Dutch Van Der Linde. Galvanized by revenge, you become a bounty hunter, stopping at nothing to get justice for Heidi McCourt. But then everything changes when you meet a blue-eyed outlaw.
No use of 'y/n', female reader, will eventually include smut. Canon compliant (until it's not).
This fic will be updated weekly on Sundays! Tags will be updated as well as the story progesses.

Summary
In 2012 the invasion started, but no one saw it. This oversight cost them - his reputation, her purpose - and sent them in different directions. An unsanctioned case with a familiar threat puts everything at risk, and as they race to save what matters most, standing alone may not be an option. MSR. Angst. Novel-length. Alternative events diverging post-IWTB, ignoring/replacing S10&11.

Summary
Bounty hunter after bounty hunter had tried to bring you in, none of them ever quite succeeding. It shocked you too, given your quiet nature and the fact that about a month ago you'd never even held a gun let alone shot one, but still here you were. Hiding out in the cold, hidden amongst the cliffs and ranges of the Grizzlies, with a two hundred dollar sum hanging over your head like a target.
They said you were impossible to bring in, a witch of all things, cursing men and warding them off with spells and potions.
Until the day Arthur Morgan tried his luck. As you laid there, hogtied on the snow, thinking of everything you'd lost and everything you'd done to survive so far, you made a promise to him, a promise of money in exchange for your freedom. He's hesitant at first, unsure of whether or not he can trust you, but when you offer him a small piece of what's left of your heart, he offers you sanctity within the Van Der Linde Gang.
Things are looking dire though, between the debt you owe them and the gang's own sea of troubles they're swimming through, it quickly becomes clear that there may not be a rainbow waiting for you on the other side of the storm.

Summary
“It was a nice wedding,” Charles says.
The little bird sitting on the top of Arthur’s grave tilts its head and peers at him, then flutters off in a burst of chirps. Charles draws in a lungful of smoke, holds it there for a long moment until it burns, and exhales. He sets the unfinished half of the cigarette at the base of the cross, the smoke spiralling skywards like a prayer, and runs a thumb over the fading knife cuts in the wood.

Summary
The Saint Denis upper class is cold and ruthless, and for her whole life Emilia was content in never interacting with them outside of working at the tailor's shop. She has carved out a life for herself amid the hustle and bustle of the swampy port city, and she is certain it is all she'll ever need. That is, until she encounters Dutch van der Linde.
A fateful encounter at a gala that Emilia only by chance attends ends up turning her carefully planned life upside down, and she scrambles to right what she can and make sense of the rest.

Summary
“So, what’s wrong with you?” The man’s voice drops a few octaves, and Arthur finds himself staring at the radio. That voice, deep and smoky, it captures his attention and holds it,
Thinking things like that is not what you need to be doing right now.
Arthur thumbs the receiver before he can think better of it. “Excuse me?” He tells himself the flush in his face is from anger and not embarrassment, or something worse.
Charles’ tone remains unruffled, as if he’s content to ignore Arthur’s attempt at dodging. “I asked, what’s wrong with you? The average person doesn’t take a job like this. What are you running from?”

Summary
Arthur stands in front of the mirror and tries on yet another shirt with the long-suffering patience of a man who has finally given up.
“No, not this one either,” you say, holding your jaw in your hand as you look him over. “Doesn’t quite fit the image I’ve got in mind.”
“Why is it that I’m always the — what’s that French thing you always say?”
“Nouveau riche.”
“Yeah. That. The ‘roughneck nouveau riche asshole with a fancy wife.’ Every damn time.”

Summary
Arthur Morgan died on that cliff, betrayed by his family, with Micah Bell hatefully walking away. Dutch had walked off, not allowing him to kill that rat.
The rat who had supposedly sold his family out, and damned them all.
Micah was born to live. Maybe being a survivor is how Micah woke back up, in the middle of a blizzard, approaching Dutch and a pair of hateful eyes beside him.Micah's POV story, and a time-travel Fix-it.

Summary
Bandaged, ill and close to death, notorious outlaw Arthur Morgan is delivered to the rural home of Miss Kathryn Vallier in the dead of night. Propriety and morality dictate that neither can act on the undeniable pull they feel towards one another despite the difference in their ages and stations. But when circumstances send them fleeing across the country together, the loneliness and wildness make it much harder to respect the lines drawn in the sand.

Summary
Eight years have passed since Blackwater, Saint Denis, and the fall of the van der Linde gang. The survivors are trying to make a life for themselves – some moving on to nobler pursuits, some circling back like carrion birds to the scores they left behind.
And outside a town called Purgatory, West Elizabeth, a man wakes up without a scrap of memory or a name, haunted by a black wolf and a golden stag.
