Summary
A humiliating conversation with the other women at camp leaves you with questions you’ve spent your whole life trying not to ask. One accidental glimpse of Arthur Morgan at the lakeshore ruins whatever innocence you had left, and Arthur, being Arthur, decides the best way to handle your curiosity is with patience, tenderness, and an increasingly dangerous willingness to teach.
What follows is a slow undoing of shame, and a love story built on trust, longing, and Arthur Morgan’s very particular idea of devotion.

Summary
Arthur stands in front of the mirror and tries on yet another shirt with the long-suffering patience of a man who has finally given up.
“No, not this one either,” you say, holding your jaw in your hand as you look him over. “Doesn’t quite fit the image I’ve got in mind.”
“Why is it that I’m always the — what’s that French thing you always say?”
“Nouveau riche.”
“Yeah. That. The ‘roughneck nouveau riche asshole with a fancy wife.’ Every damn time.”

Summary
After losing your best friend in the Blackwater Massacre, the only thing on your mind is finding Dutch Van Der Linde. Galvanized by revenge, you become a bounty hunter, stopping at nothing to get justice for Heidi McCourt. But then everything changes when you meet a blue-eyed outlaw.
No use of 'y/n', female reader, will eventually include smut. Canon compliant (until it's not).
This fic will be updated weekly on Sundays! Tags will be updated as well as the story progesses.

Summary
The snake is gone. Slithered away, that is, back into the brush and dust. Arthur's said it wasn’t worth chasing after, especially after you (perhaps dramatically) announced that you’d been bitten. You’re no expert on the subject of herpetology, but it’s only taken a little reading and a few choice observations of those poor sons of guns at the doctor to know that there are any number of venomous species out there in the scrublands; copperheads, rattlesnakes, vipers, and the like. Personally, you’ve never been bitten, so your knowledge of symptoms is based almost entirely on what you’ve read and seen. That being said, those books and accounts haven't helped much, considering most of them end in delightful phrases like 'difficulty breathing', 'swelling', or 'possible death'.
Actually, you don’t know if your symptoms are from the bite itself, or your raw, unrestrained panic.

Summary
Trapped in a system where omegas are little more than trophies to be bought and sold, Will Graham has done the unthinkable by escaping a forced bonding. Already in high demand as a profiler, Will's determined to find freedom on his own terms.
For Hannibal Lecter the outlook is far more straightforward: a slow, systematic seduction of the most uniquely captivating omega he's ever encountered.
As the shadow of a new and terrifying serial killer falls over Baltimore, the stage is set to redefine all accepted meanings of passion, temptation, horror and beauty – and to discover the ecstasy of a genuine love crime.
