A continuation of 'Heavy Lies the Crown.' This was written as a belated birthday gift for Kim, but I hope others find some enjoyment in it. The story begins when some months after Emily-Rose's death with the Kid and Heyes settled their reputations especially that of the Kid's lead to an unpleasant encounter, but the tale ends on a happy event.

Hannibal Heyes once said that their parents "dying when they did," may have been a factor to them becoming outlaws. Truth is, they were both born in very turbulent times and neither knew a childhood free of the looming probability of an impending Civil War.

Series timeline. Heyes and Curry are being chased by a persistent posse. Heyes is sure they have an Apache tracker and suggests a desperate and dubious way to lose the Apache. This story is the cleaned up version of the original written in response to a story challenge and has not been beta read.

After managing to escape from yet another posse, a minor incident has Heyes deciding they need to head to the nearest town.

When the unthinkable happens during a showdown, and the Kid unavoidably causes the death of an innocent, the boys are left dealing with the painful aftermath. Warning: Death of a child. There is no easy out in this story so be warned. Epilogue added.

Amnesty days. The Kid is feeling uncharacteristically low and Heyes has to find out why. A story about a brief incident in a saloon one evening and how the two work through emotional distress. Told through the eyes of Heyes with a bar maid as a third-party observer. I envision Heyes and the Kid speaking to each other in their soft, boyish voice they share only with each other.

Just a bit of fluff. The boys split up and then come back together. Teenage separation.

Just a bit of fluff. The Devil's Hole gang helps the Kid celebrate a certain birthday.

My stab at explaining late S2/S3, with a happy ending. Features an Original Character. Now Complete.

Heyes and Curry spent a year apart before they became the leaders of the Devil's Hole Gang. This tells the story of that year and what brought them both together again.

A hard few months has Heyes aware that the Kid is questioning their partnership. But a solution presents itself by way of acknowledging long ignored feelings. First time non- explicit SLASH. Re-post from AO3.

A day of avoiding posses and taking unscheduled dives into rivers for our two favourite reforming outlaws. Thanks to the film Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid for the cliff top dive into a river. The guys are lovers, but there is nothing explicit, though maybe I should warn that there is more sap than substance within! SLASH.

Heyes is working on a plan.

One of the partners runs into trouble in Helena Montana while the other is making a delivery in another town just hours away.

They may be notorious outlaws, but when you get right down to it, they are just typical, competitive...men.

This was written as part of a writer's challenge; the subject is "Not Paying Twice."

Written for the January 2023 challenge Regret

Kid falls victim to a case of mistaken identity which then leads Kid and Heyes in search of the real Captain Curry. Initially I thought the story was complete at the end of chapter six, but as is sometimes the case, Kid and Heyes have other ideas. Chapter 7 begins Part II of this story

I am visited by a rather gruntled Heyes, who has something to say about how I treat his partner in my writing.
