Summary
"The outlaw’s life is written in blood, but his thoughts are forged in the fire of the masses."
This is not a traditional retelling of Red Dead Redemption 2. It is a weekly novelization of a live journey through the American frontier, where the line between 1899 pragmatism and 2026 perspective is intentionally blurred.
In this serial adaptation, the "internal dialogue" of the protagonist is shaped by a Greek Chorus of modern observers (the Twitch community). While the narrative remains grounded in the grit and grime of the van der Linde gang’s descent, the character’s psyche is a battlefield between the Pragmatic Survivor—weathered and weary—and the Witty Observer, a voice of modern insight that challenges every choice made under the Western sun.
Each chapter we try to conclude with a "Grounded Reflection"—a philosophical quote inspired by the community’s deep-dives into humanity, science, and society.
Experience the Journey Live: Every Saturday at 10:00pm UTC, we play 4-5 missions and gather the observations that build the next chapter. Join us to contribute to the internal monologue of the West. Watch & Participate: https://twitch.tv/mezign

Summary
“C’mon.” Tilly grabbed his too-warm hand and pulled him to unsteady feet. They staggered to the tent flap. Lightning lit the world again. There it was, fully visible, spinning closer. The same awe she felt was mirrored in John’s wide grey-brown fever-bright eyes.
“Does… it look different? From the first time you saw it?” he asked, voice rough.
“Huh?”
“Hosea said, if a tornado doesn’t look like it’s moved at all, it’s coming right at you.”
“I… I ain’t sure… don’t think it’s moved.”
They waited, silent, while lightning struck three more times. It stayed in the same place each time, maybe a little bigger the last time.
“Shit.”

Summary
The Van der Linde gang is still very young and more of a simple posse when little Freja Hansen came into their lives.
None of the members had any experience with raising children as young as her but were willing to give it their all to ensure she had a good life, as good as one could get being around outlaws. As Freja grows up, she becomes a vital part of the gang but the fateful year of 1899 is when things really start crashing down and she has to make hard decisions regarding the safety of herself and the people she sees as family.
[Canon events start via part 14 - Outlaws From The West]

.Tags will be updated as the story progresses, and I will be updating often!
The first chapter will describe in detail about what you can expect from this book and also, a basic rundown of my original character, which is why I highly do not recommend skipping it, especially for people that get wary around certain triggers.
Adding - each instance of a different language being spoken has a direct English translation right besides it to keep that immersion and also make it easy for English-speaking readers to understand what is being said. -

Summary
You thought it ended in the woods.
After the bloodshed. After your sister’s death. After Dutch Van der Linde traded you—like cattle—to the Lockharts just to keep his gang breathing.
You were a spoiled debutante once, stolen by outlaws and ruined by one: Arthur Morgan.Rough. Scarred. Untouchable. You gave him your firsts. But when you're forced to replace your sister in an arranged marriage, Arthur let you go, insisting it meant nothing.
That was two years ago.
Now you wear your sister’s life like borrowed skin—her ring, her fiancé, her future. It should have been quiet, safe, and ideal, as much as it was all pretend.
That is until the Van der Linde gang rises from the grave—and with it, Arthur. Older. Still maddening. And now reassigned to protect you again.
He haunts your estate like a shadow.You tell yourself you’ve moved on. But every glance, every touch, every silence heavy with history... he unravels you.
The law is closing in. Enemies are circling. Last time, love nearly destroyed you. This time, it might finish the job.
You survived Arthur Morgan once.
But can you survive wanting him again? -

Summary
The Van der Linde Gang was set in 1824, when Dutch Van der Linde and Hosea Matthews tried to rob each other on their way to Chicago, quickly becoming best friends.
Now in 1899, the Van Der Linde Gang runs from the law after 4 years of a silent life in an abandoned house in Texas, after they thought they could live a normal life.
The youngest member in the gang, Jack Marston, a 20 year old born into a runaway life, is set on finding his family peace after the incident in Blackwater that made them run in the first place six months ago; but there’s little he can do alone.
Jack Marston, known as “The Wolf Cub”, has only one friend that he can trust, one he met in the three years he could go to college, one friend that may be more than a friend; but there’s no time to think about it when bullets are flying past your head.
(An AU where everything happened 20 years before, there was a moment of peace when Ross thought he had killed John, Jack is part of the gang, I promise a happy ending because I can, a lot of gay cowboys, me loving the history of my country, messed up English since it’s my second language, and an oc that I’m way too proud of)

Summary
A young girl finds herself in business with the up-and-coming Van der Linde gang. Growing close to the members, she struggles with her place in the gang, particularly under Dutch's wing. Enchanted by his worldview, clashes with camp and world structures force introspection (but is it too late?)
multiple chapters with Dutch/Hosea co-parent struggles, though not super romance heavy throughout.
Justice for Susan and the girls

she's a rabble rouser (a red dead redemption story) by widowswife00

Summary
young Arabella Reid was taken into the Van Der Linde gang by Dutch and Hosea when she was seven years old, after her parents had been killed in a house robbery gone wrong. she grew up to be fiercely loyal and fiercely reckless, following after her father-figure with undying loyalty, same as her brothers. will a sharp willed woman having wound her way into everyone's heart be able to change fate? or will she fall down the same path as their leader?
in short, there's not enough fics out there without the typical Arthur x OC trope, so I wanted to explore what would happen if my OC was raised alongside Arthur and John without falling in love with one of them (also I just love the idea of Dutch and Hosea having a daughter who runs on jobs with them cus they are my dad's guys)

The wind blew harder, the water rose to his calves.
Closer to his ear, thunder roared again.
Click.
Click. Click.
…nothing.
Why does he feel relief when all he wanted was to put an end to all of this, he wonders? Impatient and confused, he checked the amount of bullets still in the gun. Two out of five. It should’ve been enough, but the gun jammed.
…perhaps death was too kind a punishment for the likes of him, he thought.
-After experiencing four years of grief over his lost family due to being dropped into the future, Javier is suddenly transported from 1915 right back to 1899, where everything began.
