Summary
Arthur Morgan is a man not so fond of poeticism and elegancy. Emotions were a losing man's game. That is, until one day, he finds himself with an inexplicable urge to locate Charles, who had departed a few days prior for a hunting trip-- and it's lucky he did. Arthur didn't do feelings, until he found some for Charles, ones hard to ignore.

Summary
Kieran Duffy did not do favours. Asking for a favour meant owing one in return, and there was little Kieran could offer that the sort of people he'd have to ask favours from didn't already have.
If help was offered out of kindness alone, it didn't count. An act of kindness was not a favour, it was a blessing that he could hold safely in his thoughts whenever the world felt too bleak. These only counted if they were done without his input, otherwise they became a favour and Kieran didn't do favours.
OR
6 times the Van der Lindes helped Kieran, and 1 time he got to repay the favour.

Summary
When Arthur realized who it was, he wasted no time in standing up from the bushes and calling out "You planin' on making some fishes real happy Mr. Mason, or are you just taking a swim?"
"Mr. Morgan?!" Albert called out to him, a small smile creeping its way onto his lips.
"In the flesh." Arthur called back as he walked in long strides up to the drenched man, offering him a hand when he was close enough which Albert took with no hesitation. And without much effort, Albert was back on his feet. Taking a step back to create some space between them as his grip on his hat seemed to toughen.
"Say, what has captured your artistic eye this time? Bluegill?"
Arthur slowly begins to realize that he has grown quite fond of the silly photographer and doesn't know how to deal with those emotions. Struggling with internal conflict about his sexuality and the underlying pressure of his obligations to the gang, he feels like he's stuck in a dilemma, one he can't navigate on his own. Then as Albert's feelings towards him become apparent, he has to choose between standing firm or indulging in a sin he never knew he would be tempted by.

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
Already written, posting chapters in chunks when I feel like it.

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)
