Fortune Favours the Fools by 13capjacksparrow

Summary
Arthur Morgan died on a mountain, alone. He knew this. He remembers this, felt the breeze running through his hair like he distantly remembers his mother doing, the sun warming his face. His tired body seemed to relax slowly, slowly, till there was nothing left but the ghost of a smile and blue eyes turned to the sky.
So why is it so damn cold?
Disclaimer: beta read usually by me after I post in a hysterical writing fit, ongoing fic
i.e. Arthur Morgan dies. He was not expecting a second chance.
Then again, neither was Sean Macguire.

Summary
This is the home for all my fics that take place in the same Fix-It/Canon-Divergence universe that is established in Identity Beyond the Grave. That fic is strictly Charles Smith POV so in this series you'll find POV from other characters, and scenes that didn't quite fit the tone of the main chapters they were plucked from.
Generally, these can be read standalone because they take place in the "canon" universe of the game and should therefore be easy to jump into, but they're written to all take place with the same versions of the characters.

Summary
It was a nice respite, Arthur thinks, watching Charles stand, the glint of the sun in his dark hair, his eyes far away, considering, but it wasn’t ever meant to last.

Mercy a Thing For Gentler Climes by TheWaffleBat

Summary
Arthur let himself soften, turned to keep his eyes on the fire that glowed warm against the biting cold of the morning. “I know,” He said. “Things ain’t good for us right now, but… it ain’t safe. You know what the O’Driscolls are like, for folk like me.”
“I’ve watched you kill, Arthur,” Said Pearson, and there was a flicker of that old fear deep in his eyes, never quite gone away. The smartest part of him still that blustering navy man taking command of the cooking to hide how terrified he was of them. Fear that was faint, but still sour, on the still air. “I’ve seen what you do to idiots who pick fights with us. You werewolves aren’t that fragile.”
“We ain’t that strong, neither,” Arthur told him.
The Pinkertons have been lost in the snow, and the law has bigger game on its mind. The O'Driscolls aren't as easy to lose.

The Cowboy’s Interchronometric Guide To Pining by kaph, RocksCanFly

Summary
A late night hunt goes awry when Arthur and Charles are chased across the tracks cutting through the border of the Heartlands and Lemoyne, when a ghostly train barrels right into, or rather, through them. Somehow, they find themselves separated and ten years in the past.
Arthur finds himself looking after a teenage Charles, who's more of an angry, scrawny kitten than the calm, skillful hunter he knows so well.
On the other end, Charles comes face to face with a young Arthur who is smug, cocky, and a flirt.
(A cowboy's practical guide to time-travel, adolescent social services, and falling in love)

Forged by Grief, Annealed by the Lost Son by Jae_Cillian
Fandoms: Red Dead Redemption (Video Games)
04 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
"Fatherhood is a precious gift, Arthur. Live a life your son will be proud of." Hosea's words solidified Arthur's decision to leave the gang; but when he returns to Eliza and Isaac, he's too late. He returns to the gang a broken man, the ghosts of Eliza and his son lingering in every shadow. And when Jack gets kidnapped by the Braithwaite woman—shipped off to Saint Denis—they find not one lost son, but two in the big city.
--
A story of how grief and tragedy shaped Arthur, of misguided loyalty in a leader, of a man reuniting with a son he thought dead, of Arthur protecting his son—his family—from the man who raised him.

Summary
“You get ten seconds,” said Milton. “Ten… nine…”
Hosea could glimpse movement from inside the bank. Bill rushing to the back of the room. Dutch handing the saddlebag over his shoulder off to Micah.
“Eight… seven… six…”
For as long as he had known him, Hosea had known Dutch’s greatest strength and his greatest failing to be one and the same. He was willing to do anything.
“Five… four…”
What would be the consequence this time? What new direction would Dutch send the gang spinning off in? Hosea couldn’t predict it. He never could.
“Three… two…”
When it came down to the wire, when all other options were exhausted, when lives were on the line, what would Dutch van der Linde do?
“One.”A what-if alternate universe in which Hosea survives the St. Denis bank robbery, lives to see the downward spiral of the gang, and knows he has to do something.

Summary
They're with the O'Driscolls now. Colm and his brother, Conner, run things different. Far different than what Arthur was used to. But they had money. They had ambition. It was more than what they had, and for Dutch, it was enough.
The same, however, couldn't be said for Hosea.
Arthur is eventually going to have to choose. And it's a choice he might not be ready to make.

Summary
Arthur has been with Dutch and Hosea for a few months now, still unsure as to why these two men have saved him and shown him such unparalleled kindness. He does not know what he did to deserve this, but dammit if he's not gonna spend the rest of his life trying to pay them back.
Dutch and Hosea have rescued Arthur off the streets and taken him in. Now, it's starting to seem the hardest and most dangerous of challenges will be convincing the boy of his place with them.

Summary
Dutch has become caught up in his outlandish plans once again, which is nothing new to Hosea. Except for this time, it involves an unruly teen.
And Hosea is not happy.
Although, he'll soon discover that maybe the boy isn't all that he seems.
This story follows the gang and includes events that happened pre-game. It was originally going to be a series of one-shots but grew into a character study of sorts. The gang has been through its fair share of heartbreak, but there was also a lot of good in the past.

Summary
Alastor had long since accepted that if God existed (he still had doubts) then they were a being cruel and indifferent to human suffering. One which created a system vast and complex in its laws and patterns with the intention to cause pain. That they, much like himself, must enjoy watching others suffer; if God is real then surely they revel in the agony bestowed upon humans, must garner some form of gratification from it all. Perhaps the only difference it would seem, is that for Alastor, it wasn’t fun when it wasn’t warranted.
Or: Alastor is suffering after the battle, all he wants is to make himself something sweet in the privacy of the kitchen. Too bad no one else seems to be getting the memo. Can't a demon get a moment's peace in this God forsaken hotel?
