Summary
A young woman who successfully escaped her past for five years discovers that time has run out for her. Now it’s back with a vengeance, dragging her back to a period of her life she’s tried to forget.
Riddick has spent a year trying to locate the girl he once knew as Jack B. Badd, and learn why a woman named Kyra had claimed to be her. Now that he's found his Jack, however, the mystery has only deepened.
Two girls, Jack and Kyra, from completely different worlds and lives, crossed paths and ran away together. One disappeared and the other stepped into her place. How and why that happened may be tangled up with the secret of how to finally take control of the Necromongers... or it may open a door to an even darker mystery.
Formerly titled Identity Theft

Summary
In Jackson, survival isn’t just about the infected—it’s about learning to live again.
You arrive in Jackson a shattered version of yourself—angry, haunted, and on edge. The quiet stability of the community is foreign, and though taking a job at the local school gives you a purpose, it doesn’t silence the ghosts of your past. No matter how hard you try to fit in, the townsfolk don’t seem to understand you. Frustration boils over, and when you lash out, you fear you’ve ruined any chance of belonging here.
But then there’s Joel. He keeps his distance, silent, unreadable and sometimes downright rude, but something about him feels familiar—like he might understand the weight you carry. Both used to pushing people away and burying your troubles, neither of you quite knows how to handle the weight of all these... feelings.

Summary
Many stories have grand starts, with men of greatness meeting in fine establishments or well-known towns, destiny drawing their brilliance together as if they were magnets.
Hosea Matthews on the other hand, meets Dutch van der Linde on the side of a road neither of them remembers on his way to Chicago. And even after they each give back what they stole from the other, he's not entirely certain the younger man isn't trying to con him again. But there's something about him that makes Hosea want to get closer. To maybe even stick around to see if those pretty words will become a beautiful reality.

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.

Summary
Abigail Roberts is a seventeen-year-old prostitute when she first joins the gang. She falls in love with a rough-and-tumble man with dark hair and eyes like coalsmoke, lighting up the dark. At eighteen, she has his child. At nineteen, he abandons her. At twenty, he comes back, but he won’t look her in the eye anymore.
Abigail is a twenty-two-year-old ex-prostitute and outlaw, desperate to build some sort of life for her little boy. The gang’s been on the run since Blackwater. Jack is her whole world. She’s exhausted and stressed out and miserable, and having to see John Marston’s stupid, scarred-up face at camp doesn’t make her feel any better, even though she keeps trying.
(aka an introspective look into Abigail's life, closely following the canon of the game except I turned John's "pathetic wife guy" energy all the way up for self-indulgent and romantic reasons)

Summary
“I mean-” Ellie licks her lips, swishes a bunch of pieces aside with the flat of her hand. “I mean, do you think, like, old women think Joel is attractive?”
A pregnant pause swells to fill the garage. Then Dina snorts and claws upright on the couch. She sways dizzily. “Oh, for sure.” Ellie squeaks, and Dina goes on, voice sing-songing, “And not just the old ones.”
Jesse says, slowly, bravely, “If we’re being honest, I think Joel’s attractive.”
Ellie falls backwards onto her ass, grunting at the impact. “Oh my God-”
“Tommy too,” Jesses adds, and Ellie throws a handful of puzzle pieces at him, shrieks:
“What?!”
*
Ellie discovers that Joel might be Jackson's most eligible bachelor. Complications ensue.

Summary
And then soft, so soft Ellie barely hears from all the way over on her staircase, ear angled down towards the slats in the railing, breath held while awaiting a reply. She needs the truth, too. She deserves the truth. After all of this. The blood on her hands, on her face, on her memories. She gets to know why. Why after all this shit, none of it was even worth it.
What Ellie once believed to be heavy, uneven breathing, she comes to realize, is quiet, fractured sobbing. “I can’t lose her,” he confesses, an omission to what Ellie already knew from the second she woke up in the back of that car, woozy and light and empty. Bare legs, cold and exposed in a hospital gown. The whole car reeked of human blood and sweat, while her skin was the cleanest, the purest, it had been in months.
“I couldn’t let ‘em take her, Tommy.”
It’s all the answer she needs.
------
Through the seasons of Joel and Ellie's first year in Jackson. How the anger she feels at his betrayal wedges its way between them and how they find their way back together regardless.

Summary
Pairing: Low/Mid Honor Arthur Morgan and female OC.
Savigne Ricci is a temporary guest at the Van der Linde camp. Her path crosses with the enforcer of the gang, Arthur Morgan and despite their differences, a relationship develops between them. Loosely (very loosely) based on Red Dead Redemption 2
Full disclosure: Honestly it's just an excuse to write smut and fluff between Arthur Morgan and an original female character, but to do it properly, there is plenty of slice of life stuff to get into the heads of characters. Mostly positive, but it was a brutal time so of course terrible things happen, too. Slow burn-ish, eventual explicit content, enemies to lovers, lovers to enemies - you know how it goes. Low to mid honor Arthur Morgan, but he's a complicated guy so don't frown if high honor stuff happens later on.

Summary
He joined her, much to her surprise – slowly, struggling with his boots far more than she had with her tennis shoes, taking the time to actually roll his jeans up to his knees before he waded into the water and stood next to her – and she snorted back a laugh when she saw this, had to resist the urge to point out how stupid he looked, because when she looked up at his face to tell him exactly that, there was so much fondness etched across those aging features that she just couldn’t bring herself to do it; couldn’t bring herself to be cruel, even jokingly so, to the one person she could always count on to look at her just like that.
“Guess we’ll just get eaten by a shark together, then,” she said instead. He arched an eyebrow, studying her.
“Guess so,” he said eventually. “That part hasn’t changed, kid.”
And she knew it hadn’t – that for as long as he was alive, it never would.
--
Six years after she and Joel have settled into their new lives in Jackson, Ellie is given another chance to save the world.
Sequel to Go Your Own Way.

Summary
By 1899, the age of outlaws and gunslingers was at an end. A new century was coming. One without any mercy for those still caught up in the wild past.
A runaway from an affluent family up North, you were brought into the Van der Linde gang by a strange turn of fate. Helpless, lost, and very far out of your own depth, you would have never expected to fall for an outlaw. Let alone two. But fate is a strange and cruel mistress, and you inexplicably found yourself senselessly and irrevocably in love with both John Marston and Arthur Morgan. A woman of society and civilization, tangled up with two of its greatest enemies.
Now, you must confront the wrongs rooted within the outlaw way of life, the ghosts of your past, and the part that you will play in a collapsing gang as the Wild West is eaten alive by modernity's gnashing teeth. And somehow, along the way, you must mend your tattered bonds with the men you love and the people you hold dear.
In which Arthur Morgan learns to forgive, John Marston learns to strive, you learn to sew, and you all find your redemption, be it red or otherwise.
