Summary
“There’s always more work to be done, Arthur,” Charles finally said. “But even a horse needs rest. The land, the animals, they teach us that. We're not so different.”
Arthur scoffed, a short, humourless sound. “Horses can rest, Charles. I can’t. There’s the gang, they need food, medicine, debts I need to collect, the…” he trailed off, the weight settling heavily on his shoulders. “We can’t continue running like this no more. Dutch needs-”
“I know, Arthur. But what Dutch doesn’t need is you falling off your horse half dead from exhaustion.”

Summary
To the outside world, Mrs. Nellie was the perfect wife – devoted, charming, and madly in love with her husband. But behind closed doors and away from peering eyes, she harbors a deadly obsession. Driven by a relentless quest to find the perfect spouse, Mrs. Nellie has a dark habit of luring older men to their graves when they fail to meet her impossible standards for the ‘perfect’ husband.
As her cellar fills with buried beaus, she sets her sights on the debonair Mr. Hosea Matthews, whose elegance, wit, and silver tongue have charmed her like no other. As she eagerly plans for their wedding, her vows remain chillingly the same - ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ – and death is inevitable.

As Arthur grapples with this bizarre situation, he discovers that one Micah Bell is also aware of the time loop, leading to a deadly cat-and-mouse game between the two.
Each cycle brings something new as Arthur tries to figure out what to do, all the while avoiding Micah's increasingly sadistic attempts to torture and kill him.

Summary
The lights hit Charles’ skin perfectly, showing off the harsh features on his face and the muscles on his forearms. His hair looked like silk flowing behind him in the gentle breeze. Arthur looked up at him in awe, a smile tugging on the corners of his lips.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Arthur mumbled, tipping his head down to hide his expression. Charles hummed softly, and Arthur felt his warmth next to him as Charles sat next to him. It hadn’t been long since Charles joined, but they’ve never had time to talk or really get to know each other. The man was friendly with everyone else, which frustrated Arthur.~
Arthur struggle's with his past and present, navigating life with a closed off and reserved heart. One lonely night, someone comes into his life that didn't give him much of an option but to open up - helping him through internal struggles he never knew he had bottled up.
Will he manage to get out of this outlawed life, or will he go down with it? -

It's a combination of SFW and NSFW. I have over 50 chapters, so I might split it up. Feel free to request more on the comments or my blog.

Summary
In the vast expanse of time, Charles Smith, a man of quiet strength and untold stories, had traveled life’s path like a lone wolf. Each day was a mere canvas of survival, painted with the muted hues of existence. But fate, that fickle artist, chose to weave a new thread into the tapestry of his journey when a woman stumbled, quite literally, into his world.
It was a moment that etched itself into the very fabric of his being when he witnessed the woman’s courageous act of rescuing Arthur from the clutches of the O’Driscolls. And as she tumbled face first from Arthur’s horse, Charles felt a stir within his stoic heart.
Like a rare blossom in a desert, her essence beckoned to him, whispering of hope and a purpose beyond mere survival. With a quiet certainty bordering on instinct, Charles picked her from the ground and guided her towards a realm of light and joy that the world had cruelly snatched away. He saw a reflection of resilience and grace in her, a fragile yet unbroken spirit yearning to dance once more in the sunlit meadows of peace.
