By 1898, the Van Der Linde Gang had pulled off numerous robberies and heists. Months after their most recent robbery, the gang was lying low in the Grizzlies, waiting on the chance for Dutch to sell the gold they had collected in hopes of living in solitude. 

This story takes place a little over year before the Van Der Linde Gang ended in a standoff, and one year before the Blackwater Massacre. It introduces Lenny Summers, Charles Smith, Jenny Kirk, and Micah Bell to the gang, the last four to join before the Blackwater Ferry Heist.

For a while in '98, Dutch's gang lived in peace waiting for an opportunity to buy land for their 'family'. After meeting Lenny, Charles, and Jenny, the gang was hopeful. About five months prior to the Blackwater Incident, Dutch met Micah Bell. After Micah saved Dutch's life, he was initiated into the gang, where they began to fall back to crime.

[[A slow burn OCxArthur story with both new and original characters]] They say the best things in life are unplanned. But sometimes... they're the worst. After the Blackwater catastrophe, Arthur feels the heavy weight of responsibility; being one of the gang members looked up to and relied upon to get them out of this mess, he's strained by the notion that they may not be getting out this time. With the West slowly transformed into a civilized hellhole, they are forced to move in all directions despite the place they wanted to return to most. Grimly aware that the age of outlaws may be up, Arthur does what he can under Dutch to get money for their escape, all according to plan... Until a detour. Stuck in a rut of her own, the independent, God-fearing, and wistful Summer Grace Monroe has been searching for her own place in life. After being scorned by lovers and in and out of jobs, she feels amiss her late twenties without a true home. She finds the most peace in her church and helping those in need, especially the local Native population. Her father, Captain Monroe, works within the Army as a voice for those being silenced. She helps others find their story, but what would be her own? Things all seem to take a turn when fate brings a chance encounter, permanently altering whatever path her life was going to take and intertwining her destiny with that of a notorious group of outlaws - yet she would not be the only one whose path would be changed. **This story will contain mature content such as violence/gore, sexual themes, and language. Do not read if you are under 18** [These characters all belong within the Red Dead Redemption universe/Rockstar, but I have made a few original characters and altered storylines.]

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY: RDR2

53 parts Complete Mature

Nora has spent most of her life in solitude, travelling only with her business partner JB Cripps. Always on the move, never allowing herself the time to face the past that threatens to consume her. That is until she meets a particularly irritating outlaw at a bounty board and her life suddenly bursts into tremendous colour. But when the pendulum swings one way, eventually it'll swing the other. COMPLETE This is a work of fanfiction, with characters from Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 Online. I do not own this world, nor any character beyond the main OC. Neither do I own any of the literature and titles taken from the works of Robert Frost. (While this story follows along with the timeline and the main plot of the game, there will be divergences in the canon. Mainly that Arthur will not contract TB. As for who else lives and dies, I'm afraid you'll have to find out.)
