His favourite song is wap

Head chef for Van Der

motorcycle he lovingly named 'Baylock', and has a tattoo across his back of two revolvers.

Lives in a trailer in the woods with his two pet rats. Later, starts living with Kieran. (In the trailer)

Constant insults. This man doesn't care who he hurts by what he says, if a customer is particularly rude they often call Micah out to deal with them. Though his attitude does tend to land him in heaps of trouble within the team.

One time Micah had insulted the girls enough that Charles ended up dragging the man outside, throwing him in one of the bins. For a week he couldn't get the smell out of his uniform.

self destruction

In RDR AU my babygirl Lyra is my take on self destruction. She had things better in DBD to be honest, with Caleb. But in RDR the baby gotta suffer (sorry love).

I KNOW I rarely write stuff for my OCs (1. i am a pussy 2. i have too many ideas and some of them literally should never see the light of day, perhaps, like this one).

1. Morality.

The focus in her story (in my head) is mainly about the self destructive tendensies and the morality. Why do I write this. I want to elaborate on some stuff in advance because I feel like there can be people who won't like the fact that I like Micah Bell as a character in RDR. Morality itself, as a concept, is a big deal for me in fiction as well as real life. Like if you want to attack me on some controversial stuff I can write/choose/post - attack me, if you want. Of course no one can prohibit you to. I am, to be honest, pretty open for conversations and exploration of human character + writing + simillar characters and how fandom sees them.

"We're just fuses that burn too long. Some happen to be attached to a candle on kid's table, some attached to the self-made bomb sticked to the train."

2. Gender.

She's a gal and honestly I don't really care about history of gender. Maybe for many people it may sound as ignorant but I don't really want to elaborate on that right now. She's a woman because I can relate better to a woman and it's basically another self insert so I don't care about things like for example my historian bf said "In this age she'd be in the kitchen" like no. Its fiction and honestly shut the fuck up. On this stuff I won't elaborate.

"Don't save her. She doesn't wanna be saved"

I am too self aware. like way too self aware. Mostly writing this for myself

Bell's Kitchen Chapter 6

Kieran helps a sick Micah and in doing so he begins to clean the trailer more so the two have more living space while Micah faces a dilemma with mixed feelings about a certain individual he calls friend.

Fanfic named by the lovely @g30

Firstly, I just want to thank my dear friend Sunny. Without her NONE of this would even be possible, she is the mastermind behind a large portion of every scenario this fic has to offer and if wasn't for her help then Bell's Kitchen just couldn't be as good, I hope you especially enjoy this one my dear as this is especially dedicated to you <3 check her out here at @sunnysratcollection

Bell's Kitchen

Dutch Van Der Linde

Both he and Hosea had dreamt about opening the restaurant together, now they co-own in

Strictly wears Hawaiian shirts, Khaki shorts, and socks and sandals—no matter the weather.

Has a whole wardrobe dedicated to the shirts. He owns a wide range of colours//patterns

A BIG fan of the beach boys.

His favourite song is Kokomo, a close second their cover of "california dreaming"

He grew up near the beach. Listens to a lot of surf rock

However, hates water. Won't go in the sea.

Does go fishing regularly with Hosea and Arthur however. They tried to get him in a boat but he refused, said his feet will remain on the ground

Often closes the restaurant early. Then will hold a small "party" for whoever's working the shift. The party is really just him giving a speech, about how proud he is of the team for making this long time dream become a reality, he'll play Beach Boys in the background and opens one bottle for them to all share. It's their cheapest alcohol, so a lot of them just drink water during

Molly O'Shea

Works the bar for Van Der Linde's

Not Dutch's girlfriend in this au

Javier's best friend

"Head of" the bar. When she's on shift best believe it gets done, she knows her stuff and her energy when on the bar is next level

Lots of "my love", and "babe" towards customers

No specific favourite genre of music, loves a lot of 70s/80s. Expect her to play a lot of Dire Straits. Loves Lady Writer

Molly was one of the first people that Dutch and Hosea hired, alongside Susan Grimshaw and Micah Bell. She'd attended an art course in college, later meeting Matthews at an art show—he'd offered her the job after learning she was trying to save to pay back student loans. What started as a weekend job originally became her full time career and, alongside Charles, Molly became one of the best bar staff.

Wears lots of summer dresses, mostly in varied shades of blue//green.

Has a tattoo on her wrist of lillies

Writes poems in her free time

Javier Escuella

Like Kieran; is relatively new to working at "Van Der Linde's"

Best friends with Molly

Primarily a waiter though is trained on bar, he does well amongst customers and so Dutch likes it when he's working the shop floor

Same sense of fashion as canon rdr2 Javier: Wears vests and shirts a lot, rolled sleeves with a few opened buttons on his shirt. If he hasn't got the vest, then he wears a denim jacket. Black jeans.

Wears his hair down at all times unless he needs to tie it up.

Went to college with and is a long-time friend of Molly's, started working on her recommendation.

He is a part of his own band. Some evening's he performs at a bar downtown, sketchy place though the others frequent often. Arthur had visited the bar one time and caught Javier performing, passing word on to Dutch—now every other Sunday evening Dutch will hire the band to perform at the restaurant in the garden.
