POV: Matt... We've all seen Kitty reminisce about the First Day she laid Eyes on her Cowboy.. . So, this is How I think things Might have been for Him? Enjoy!

A few words on the touching moments from such a brutal episode.

Everyone has intentions! A Matt and Kitty story 6 years into Gunsmoke. It starts with Kitty on a stage-coach, what could go wrong?

A quiet little story about Doc.

It takes a tragedy for Matt Dillon to realize that he had been taking Kitty for granted. Oneshot.

A revelation leads to a snap decision that has lasting repercussions for the Dillon family. How will each family member cope with the emotions caused by the winds of change? This is a continuation of the storylines introduced in "One Good Turn."

Not being together is troublesome for both Matt & Kitty. Even when they finally are both in Dodge they face a challenge from a new Long Branch hire.

Thoughts inspired by the heartbreaking "Nina's Revenge" (Season 7, Episode 12), and James Wright's beautiful poem "A Blessing."

What happens when someone from Kitty's past shows up? Will it cause trouble for the Dillon family?

Festus sets out to make sure two characters from the episode "The Predators" get their happy ever after.

Some thoughts on Kitty's path to full ownership of the Long Branch. I have amended the rather nebulous timeline of the Long Branch to have big Sam (Glenn Strange) as head barkeep while Kitty was still half-owner.

In the continuing adventures of Matt and Kitty Dillon, Matt forges new alliances and enemies down in Indian territory. Doc faces unforeseen challenges and life choices, while Kitty races to secure her growing family's future against insurmountable odds. 11th in the "There's Always Tomorrow" series.

Matt retires but has one last job to do. Matt, Kitty, two kids, and a stagecoach. This is about life's struggle.

Kitty and Matt adopt four year old Mary after her mother's death. Sam and Matt are on the trail of counterfeiters. Babies are born, there is a wedding, there are old characters and new characters as Dodge City grows and heads toward the 20th Century.

Polly Cade (Louise Latham) in "Waco" Season 14 Episode 11, was unforgettable to me. I am currently writing a longer, different-subject story, but this came to me yesterday.

Kitty thought Matt Dillon was a decent man. Was she mistaken? I'm not sure how many chapters this story will be. I hope you come along for the ride and enjoy it.

Kitty is asked to make some sacrifices in order to come to the aid of a seriously ill friend. Will the strain of her complicated history with this friend, combined with serious rumors, unravel the ties that bind the large Dillon family together? One must read "The Contract" and "Revenge" to be able to fully enjoy this topsy-turvy ride.

An MM from "Pucket's New Year" (Season 2)

A Matt and Kitty Christmas story in one chapter.

A few moments from "The Hat", Season 13 Episode 6

My fanfics that focus on Gunsmoke movies and Matt and Beth's relationship, with exception of the first one will be posted here. Some fanfics will be MM/ATC to the movies, while others will be my own made up stories. Matt and Mike were never together as a couple in the movies and they won't be in my fanfics. I just can't put them together.

A short look into Matt's musings.

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.
