@amorgansgal was a delight to work with for the RDR Mini Bang! What a beautiful source story to work with. I tried my utmost to do the fic justice, because it really hit a chord with me. <3

That Fool Marston - Writing by @amorgansgal, screencaps by @sentanixiv  [Tumblr | AO3]

Summary: John finally reads Arthur’s journal, only to find out that the man wanted to marry Abigail. John struggles with feelings of jealousy and inadequacy, even though Arthur is long since dead and gone. It might take some stern words from Abigail for him to see sense.

Excerpt John’s initial reaction was to shut Arthur’s journal with a sharp snap. He drew in a shaky breath and tried to calm the furious beating of his heart. His stomach was twisted into knots. It felt like someone had punched him low in his gut. John cautiously opened the journal once more until the faded words were facing him. The discomfort and pain were inescapable and he forced himself to read what Arthur had said about his wife: ‘Took young Jack out fishing as a favour to Abigail. Many years ago, before she fell so hard for that fool Marston, perhaps I should’ve married her. I think part of me has always thought that…’ Keep Reading

Chapter one of my minibang for @rdrbigbang below! Buckle up folks, it's gonna be a long one!

Summary:

Blackwater Ferry AU.

The money wasn't the only thing left behind in Blackwater. Arthur and Hosea were as well.

Left to their own devices, they will have to find their way back to a gang doing its damnedest to disappear.

big bang collab with @starawayy​ !

It was a nightmare. It had to be.

There was no way to explain all this craziness. 

Leaving Charles. The train job. Van Horn. Those few agonising hours where he had though John had died right in front of him and his body thrown off the train. 

“Arthur, we have to move!” 

He wanted to wake up. It was just a dream. 

A bullet whizzed by his ear. 

“Arthur!”

Maybe not. 

Arthur has never had a place to truly call home before. That was before he learned that home isn’t always the place, but the people there.

There is an excerpt from @starawayy ‘s amazing fic, “Building A Home Is Easier With Three”! I was lucky enough to be paired with Staraway in the @rdrbigbang  and i was able to draw my interpretation (and an extra silly scribble) of their beautiful piece! Please head on over to their fic share the love!

So excited to finally share this for the RDR mini bang!! <3

I was paired with the lovely and talented @let-love-run-red for this year's event! Her story Whiskey and Peaches, featuring Javier Escuella and her lovely OC Laura Garrison, explores a budding romance set on a newly inherited family ranch in a modern day AU. It was such a fun story to read and illustrate for, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

I tried to keep the colours soft and romantic to paint the general feeling the story gave me. So soft and sweet <3

Whiskey & Peaches - Masterlist

"I can pay you, how much do you need?" "A glass of whiskey and a few peaches from that tree." "You want to be paid in whiskey and peaches?" "Whiskey and peaches."

AN: mentions of alcohol abuse, past domestic violence, implied infidelity

This is my submission for the 2022 rdr mini bang! I worked with the amazing artist @daily-escuella and I am so excited for you all to read the story and see her art! @rdrbigbang

RdrMiniBang2022 - Alcohol Bruising

The bank robbery went to shit, just like Arthur knew it would and now the law is looking for him with his name on every news station. A drink in a grungy old bar miles in another town is just what he needs. Only, trouble comes knocking and, if he's honest with himself, something to take his frustrations out on is what he's been looking for.

My contribution to the rdr mini bang 2022 for @rdrbigbang ! it was so fun this year to participate especially after being part of last years reverse bang! and it was fun to collab with @merryandrewsworld for this round!! can't wait till the next! <3

For @trippin-over-my-fandoms 's lovely story❤

"Arrhur doesn’t care if his nose is bleeding- possibly broken- if his lip is split, if his knuckles will be bruised. He’s tired of giving a shit. He’s tired of only just surviving. There’s no real thinking that goes behind any of his hits. Just wild swings with no regard of consequence. 

He’s tired of running.

Punch.

He’s tired of trying.

Hit.

He’s tired of doing his best only to fall short.

Swing.

He’s tired of Dutch’s bullshit.

Every punch he throws, every kick he lands, every hit he takes, all of it is fueled by his anger. Making them that much harder, that much more cathartic. "

It was easy to forget the reality one lived in, it was easy to forget the atrocities of men, driven by greed, when it was hidden from the eyes of the people.

It was easy, from inside the mighty walls, to believe that the land was at peace.

Here in the capital few would believe they were in the middle of a war that had been waged for more than five exceedingly long years.

A war, that they were losing.

Heeey rdr mini bang reveal time! I was paired up with the lovely @whyyouacknsocraycray, who wrote a wonderful story about the boys going on a hunting trip for the legendary bison. Here’s my interpretation of one of my favorite moments in the story when they first spot it. I haven’t done a full comic page in ages and really enjoyed it, hope you all like it and make sure to check out the full story here!

That Fool Marston

So exciting to finally post this after I've been sitting on it for so long! This is my piece for the RDR Minibang and I've been working with @sentanixiv (otherwise known as Kichi) who will be posting the artwork later! Hope you all enjoy!

Here is the piece I wrote for @rdrbigbang’s 2022 mini bang. I was paired up with @rhania​ who did the lovely art piece that accompanies it! 

While Arthur encountered a number of things he couldn’t explain, he never considered himself much of a believer of the supernatural. However, upon hearing a woman’s voice in the swamps near Saint Denis, he finds himself reckoning with a force beyond anything he has ever experienced.
