Summary
By 1897, there were many things that you had left behind. A way of life, a family, a past. An outlaw that had changed you and then broken you before you had even realized that he was the one holding you together. And yet, there were still some scattered fragments of yourself that remained, despite everything.
And there was another. Another to help you collect the pieces and build them into something new, something greater than their sum. Despite how much he seems to resent you and how frightened you are of him at first.

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.
