Summary
You thought it ended in the woods.
After the bloodshed. After your sister’s death. After Dutch Van der Linde traded you—like cattle—to the Lockharts just to keep his gang breathing.
You were a spoiled debutante once, stolen by outlaws and ruined by one: Arthur Morgan.Rough. Scarred. Untouchable. You gave him your firsts. But when you're forced to replace your sister in an arranged marriage, Arthur let you go, insisting it meant nothing.
That was two years ago.
Now you wear your sister’s life like borrowed skin—her ring, her fiancé, her future. It should have been quiet, safe, and ideal, as much as it was all pretend.
That is until the Van der Linde gang rises from the grave—and with it, Arthur. Older. Still maddening. And now reassigned to protect you again.
He haunts your estate like a shadow.You tell yourself you’ve moved on. But every glance, every touch, every silence heavy with history... he unravels you.
The law is closing in. Enemies are circling. Last time, love nearly destroyed you. This time, it might finish the job.
You survived Arthur Morgan once.
But can you survive wanting him again?- Language:

Summary
Ever since she was a little girl, Lena wanted to be part of something great so when the opportunity arrived to apply for a Governor's position in the Northern Development Project, she jumped at the chance. She is determined to do a good job and a little crush won't get in her way, right?
Victor wakes up in a distant future and has to reconcile with his new world as well as the past that seems determined to catch up with him. Being one of Peach's companions only complicates things.
This fic is a spin-off / DLC kind of thing to White Nights. The events in it run in parallel to White Nights but they highlight the actions of Lena and Victor and their relationship. I highly recommend reading White Nights before this but if you don't it's ok. It's just that some of the main events are described there. There is also a lot of old and current Duvos lore (my own HC).
DISCLAIMER! This is written after the kickstarter and before the alpha release so any event and characters in it may be entirely different form the game. Consider it an AU.

Summary
“Have you heard the rumours?” A woman in a perfectly tailored emerald dress said, holding her lace fan up to her mercury-laden, painted face.
“What rumours?” Another lady asked.
She had what looked like a giant peacock feather pocking out of a headpiece she called a hat. You could only assume she’d had it specially made for the occasion of looking busy doing absolutely nothing.
“Rumour has it the duke is in love."You are an opera singer who doesn't like the spotlight and Wriothesley is being a bit too careless with his visits.
