Matt and Chester befriend a condemned man.

Uber-angsty, ultra-violent, terribly torturous, heart-wrenchingly romantic Matt and Kitty adventure that will (hopefully) entertain you for fifty-five long, dark, foreboding chapters. I'll attempt to post two chapters per day, one in the morning and one in the evening, to speed this potboiler along. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this crazy fic, six years in the making, flies.

Chester's been shot, and maybe he could find out what for if he could only move. Or if somebody would come and get him. But in the meantime... (Radio!verse. Based on 'The Deserter')

Kitty has a miscarriage and is attacked soon after coming to Dodge; the nurse Doc loves likes Matt; with misgivings Matt hires down-on-his-luck Chester; the marshal beats Kitty's attacker, who vows to kill him.

Matt Dillon, has been missing for over a month after trailing a murderer. He was badly injured and had amnesia. He is nursed by an attractive widow woman. His memory returns, he knows he has to return to Dodge. Kitty Russell waits in Dodge to hear news of the man she loves. This Fan Fiction explores their thoughts and feelings.

Most are extremely brief, all will be stand-alone vignettes, completely unhindered by plot. ;-) Some sweet, some bittersweet, some humorous, some poignant, all romantic. When you get to the end of the "chapter" it is over. The end. If you like 'em, I've got seven or so already written, another half dozen partly written. If you hate 'em, I can quit at any time. Thanks, lj

1869; the new marshal arrives in Dodge City. (Radio!verse)

When a prisoner escapes into a gathering blizzard, Matt insists on following him, even though he will likely go free. It's an even more treacherous journey than he could have guessed, and the destination's not much better. (Radio!verse; loosely based on an episode I'll probably never find again...)

Lonely tailor Anders turns ornery when Chester rebuffs his hounding to make friends, and Anders' gal falls deathly ill from soliciting men at the Long Branch, prompting Doc to ward off infection by prescribing to Matt and Chester a painful treatment all too familiar to Kitty.

A bizarre encounter teaches Chester not to talk to strangers–they never shut up once you do. (A brush {whatever that means} with the radio show.)

As Christmas approaches, Matt is missing in a blinding snow storm. Kitty and Festus go out into the storm to find him.

"I couldn't live without him, Doc. You know that?"

In this alternate version and sequel in one, gambler Marcus France of "The Gentleman" episode seeks Matt's protection from a hired gunman after fleeing to Dodge from a crowd of card players in Wichita. Too ill from his weak heart to defend himself, France meets a new lady and starts to recover, then resolves to call the gunman out on his own, resisting Matt's efforts to stop him.

A Kitty and Matt Story - AU (for sure). MaryRoseEllen gave me the idea for this story. The idea could have gone many different ways. This is the way my mind and imagination took it. Thank you MaryRoseEllen. I hope the following 6 chapters don't disappoint you.

A little holiday vignette. Set in the Million Reasons universe

We defied the men in high places when they gave us an order that would hurt a friend. We were who we were, our own masters, and a drink of spirits with a sound sleep was sufficient to keep a body alive. We fought to protect our own and take care of them. No matter what.

Kitty and Matt come to an understanding. Takes place early in season one.

Following Doc's instructions, Matt agrees to take Kitty out of town for a few days.

On his way home one day, Matt has a conversation with Doc and Chester. Chester has news, and not just Matt. What type of news is it from both of them? Oneshot

Matt's heart and soul are in jeopardy. Can he find her before it is too late.

Friends and loved ones, experiencing the ups and downs of the season, are observed and commented on by an unexpected houseguest in. . .'Letters Home'.

Matt must face the wreck of a man on his hands when he publicly shames fast gun Trucco, scares him witless and throws him in jail. An objective point-of-view tale inspired by the episode "Who Lives by the Sword."

I always thought that a missing moment for Kitty's Love Affair would be a Kitty/Doc conversation. Here's my version. I wrote this quite a while ago but was nervous about posting it. I came across it again and decided to!

"The image of love reveals itself there, in a profoundly present absence." - M. Darwish

A blow to Chester's head fuels his impulse to safeguard Matt, even as Matt goes to greater lengths to take care of Chester.
