Summary
When death knocks on her door, a stranger answers.
Charlotte Balfour wanted to start a new life in the wilderness. Instead, she buried her husband and found herself alone with nothing – unable to hunt, survive or fight.
Arthur Morgan just wanted to ride on by. Instead, he stayed—to teach a widow how to shoot and remind her that life is worth living.
He is a man who has been stealing, deceiving, and killing for years. She is a lady from Chicago who can recite Dante but doesn't know how to build a fire. He carries too many scars on his soul. She is just trying to preserve her own.
Between bloody lessons in survival and stolen moments of tenderness, something emerges that neither of them could have expected: a connection that goes deeper than gratitude. A trust that is stronger than fear. And the dangerous realisation that some people are worth fighting for – even when you have long since stopped believing in yourself.A story about second chances, tainted souls and a love that grows where it is least expected.

Summary
I really just wanted to visit the filming locations of Dad's favorite Westerns and take a few photos with his old camera. Instead, I stumbled through a cave in the Alabama Hills and came out the other side in a world that looks suspiciously like Red Dead Redemption. Complete with a gang of armed outlaws who pretty quickly peg me as crazy, suicidal, or probably both.
One of them especially. A certain Arthur Morgan, whose patience with me is running distinctly thin. His faith in Dutch, on the other hand? Bottomless. For now.
See, I'm about six months early. Before Blackwater. Before pretty much everything I thought I knew. What I have that they don't: I know what's coming. Who dies. Who betrays who. Which decisions change everything — and which ones are better left unmade.
What I don't know: whether I have any right to change any of it. Or whether I'd just make everything worse.
And whether I can keep from driving Arthur Morgan completely insane in the process. That'd be a start.Time Travel AU; Pre-canon

Summary
Als die Bresche am Himmel droht, die Welt in Stücke zu reißen, taucht ausgerechnet Ashana, eine junge, verwilderte Dalish-Magierin, mit dem einzigen Mittel auf, um das Unheil noch abzuwenden. Einige nennen es reinen Zufall, andere sprechen von Glück oder einer religiösen Vorhersehung. Keiner ist sich dessen wohl sicher – Ashana am allerwenigsten. Und während Ashana versucht ihren Platz in diesem Durcheinander zu finden, tauchen immer nur immer mehr Probleme auf. Doch nicht alles scheint am Ende so bedrohlich zu sein, wie es zunächst den Anschein hat. Selbst dann nicht, wenn es in Gestalt eines Templers auftritt.

Summary
You’ve just moved into your own apartment and realize, with growing trepidation, that the facilities are not as modern as the landlord had made them out to be. But it keeps the maintenance man busy, and seeing him around the complex has been your number one amenity. However, with your level of klutziness, he starts to think that you’re the cause of his woes, or so you think with the intense stares he gives you. Or perhaps he’s thinking of something else?

Summary
Sandor was never the type to be into younger women. Anyone even under 5 years than him was a bit much to him. He didn't enjoy any age gaps nor power imbalances.
But after he took in a runaway girl, he can't keep his eyes or hands off of her. And what's worse was she wasn't opposed to it.

Summary
“Shh,” he coos, slowing your hips from their desperate grinding. “Keep those pretty noises just for my ears.” His mouth quirks slightly, thumb coming to stroke over your bottom lip. “Unless you want to be caught.”
Without your permission a low moan pulls out of your throat, desperate and needy. Your eyes widen, suddenly sober to your unintentional reaction. Arthur looks to have sobered up slightly too, but when his green eyes meet yours they fall darker than they were before.“Oh, you dirty girl.”

Summary
THE PREMISE:Moving to the western states of America, you had high hopes for a more prosperous, entertaining life, but the fact your life would turn upside down just within a month? That was unexpected.
Taken by the bastard O'Driscolls with god-knows-what done to you, you managed to escape into the chilly night with nothing to your name. Finding a seemingly abandoned campsite, you warmed your poor body at the fire, but little did you know the owner of the camp would be pressing the barrel of his gun to your head...
... and little did you know that you'd fall for this dangerous man.
(A CANON REWRITE/DIVERGENCE: THIS IS PROPER SLOW-BURN, 30+ CHAPTERS TO BE EXPECTED — HEAVY FOCUS ON READER'S RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER CHARACTERS)
Note: I write on average ~12k words per chapter. Some are shorter some longer. I update 1-2 times a month.
