    Summary

    John Marston is ambushed by the Pinkertons and dies in 1911 after hunting down all his old gang members, not getting to finish the happy life with his family. Why then does he wake up in 1899 on Colter with Javier and Arthur rescuing him?

    It seems fate, or a more malevolent force, has given John a second chance and now he has to live among his familial ghosts as he figures out how he can fix it this time. But, people are getting concerned by his new behaviour- what's there to expect from a 39 year mind in a 26 year old body? Or more importantly, what's there to expect from a hardened man forced to live next to everybody who betrayed him?

     

    THIS IS JUST MY EXCUSE TO WRITE RDR 1 JOHN MARSTON, THE LOML. I wish the Van der Linde gang could have seen what a fucking force of nature he became- both as a mature man but also the fastest gunslinger in the west. Took down the rebellion in Mexico and all of Micah's gang in the mountains without batting an eye: he deserves MORE CREDIT.

    I'm not sure where I'm going to go with this because it's been a while since I've played either game but I hate mischaracterising Marston. If anybody has any advice, let me know.

    Summary

    Mary-Beth Gaskill prided herself on a few convictions. She always kept an open mind. She always met honesty with honesty. She never denied herself a good laugh. And she had no plans to fall in love.

    Sure, she devoured silly romances like her life depended on it, and even hoped to pen her own tales of love and longing. But she’d seen first hand what love did to a heart. It had nearly destroyed many of the people she called family, and her family was a gang of murderous, thieving, no-good outlaws. If they couldn’t survive it, what hope did she have?

    -

    An almost faithful re-telling of RDR2 through the eyes of Mary-Beth Gaskill.

     

    Follow Mary-Beth as she lives her life vicariously through books and her friends, until one day the Van der Linde gang takes a hostage, Kieran Duffy. She steps up to welcome Kieran in and a friendship blossoms… we know where this goes.

    Tales/themes of friendship, found family, loss, and love, with a huge focus on the friendships of the women, especially between Tilly, Karen, and Mary-Beth.

    I’ve changed the fate of at least one of the van der Linde gang… but maybe others? You’ll have to read to find out…

    Summary

    When Kieran woke up that morning, he was underneath a warm blanket. A blanket that was definitely not his.
