A visiting rodeo becomes too much of a temptation for Adam's young children. A one-shot sequel story set in my 'Things That Matter' universe. Nathan is 18, Clara/Helen is 13, and Sam is 9. This story will contain scenes of the parental use of corporal punishment.

Another Rebecca story - Ages: Adam (28), Hoss (22), Joe (16), Rebecca (14) - WARNING: May contain (threat of) spanking of a minor. - This story may take a little longer to develop. I've written the first chapter and have ideas for the following chapters. Let me know what you think. I'll try to update as soon as possible.

Continuation of "To Love What is Mortal (To Hold It)." Candy and Anna are healing. Lonnie Meyers won't give up what belongs to him. There is a man is hunting vengeance, another redemption- and a woman between them seeking only peace.

From "The Survivors." "He's just exercising his lungs. That's why babies cry, y'know… To exercise their lungs."-"How do you know that?" It was hard to remember his mother. It was harder to remember the little girl she followed Home. Written just over five years ago, and dug out of my computer only recently.

Set in the same AU as Coming Clean and Time to Heal. Hoss, upset at what Ben and Charlotte have told the family leaves the breakfast table; Charlotte follows him and things are cleared up. ONE SHOT

Candy is given a few days' leave. It doesn't go the way he planned. Prequel (Hopefully - ), but can be standalone. Rated for canon-typical violence, gore, and trauma.

Life is an ever-changing journey that the Cartwrights are well acquainted with. They've had their fair share of troubles and heartaches but they always stand tall and fight their way through. This time though, none of them ever expected that one day they'd come across a young girl who could find a way into their hearts like none other. First in The Missie Stories

Adam is living and working in Paris during the World Exhibition of 1867. He meets a young flower vendor and is immediately smitten. The story is based on the Louis Marie De Schryver painting, La Rue Du Havre. A serial writing challenge done in short chapters. The chapter titles are in alphabetical order. A prequel to For The Love Of Maggie.

A simple, late summer day quickly turns more complicated than any of the Cartwrights could have imagined potentially changing one Cartwright's life forever. Please see included notes before reading.

When the Paiute are seen prowling around the Ponderosa ranch house, Little Joe Cartwright is desperate to help defend his home and family. Only, he's under orders to stay inside and work on his spelling . . . Disobeying his father's commands will take him to a place he never, in his wildest dreams, thought he would see.

Final story in The Trial of Jessica Hardy/Buried Alive trilogy where we find Adam in San Francisco trying to get his life back after being thought dead and drugged for months. He is heading toward a deadly decision when he meets another man who just might help him, because he understood how it felt to reach rock bottom and then resurrection. A bit of a crossover to another western.

AU...sequel to Coming Clean. Charlotte has come for a visit, unbeknownst to her, a friend has sent a letter ahead so Ben already has a heads up to what is going on. Rating due to subject of May/Dec marriage, not necessarily due to writing.

AU...Captain Stoddard's widow comes out to the Ponderosa for the main purpose of coming clean to Ben about her marriage to Elizabeth's father. A marriage he and Elizabeth had been dead set against. Rating due to subject, not writing.

I had forgotten that I had a fourth part to this story, it is the story of Adam and Rebecca rising their children who seem to get in a lot of mischief along the way and sometimes drives Adam 'nuts' The last chapter is a very sad one so be warned.
