Will Matt solve the clues in time to find Kitty? This story takes place sometime between seasons 1 and 2.

Something is going on with Matt that Kitty doesn't like. A Matt & Kitty story in 4 chapters. Season 20 but Kitty is still there. (I'm still not great at this summary thing).

If you need a dose of Matt and Kitty (and who doesn't), I'll be posting short stories here. The stories will be independent of one another. Ideas for the stories may come from scenes from the show, a line spoken by one or both of them, or whatever pops in my head. I don't own the Gunsmoke characters. I hope you enjoy reading these Matt and Kitty stories.

Love can be an infuriating mystery to those without it, and sometimes can drive a man to extreme measures.

A Matt and Kitty AU with surprises, inheritances, bullets, and what should have been.

I hate that Matt was Beth's biological father. I don't think he should've been.

After much thought, I've decided to put all of my "Ruby Dillon" stories here. Chapters 1-6 are from "Matt and Kitty: A Timeless Love Story." Any other story that relates to Matt and Kitty's life with Ruby will be here. (Chapter 1 (Life) has an extended ending from what was written in "Matt and Kitty: A Timeless Love Story.")

Kitty left town for San Francisco, leaving Matt in a downward spiral of his own making.

"What if I seem different to them? Is it possible they'll know something horrible happened to me?" Travel back in time to see how the small Dillon family in my AU coped with the aftermath of Bonner and his Dog Soldiers.

Matt takes a prisoner into custody who touches lives in unexpected ways.

When women and girls are being kidnapped all over the West by a vengeful outlaw, the United States Government implores US Marshals Matt Dillon and Rooster Cogburn to go after them, believing them to be the best lawmen in the western territories. With mysterious bounty hunter Blondie to assist, the three men head out after them, unaware of a more sinister plot in the works.

"When a man comes from a background of taming a town single-handedly, he always remembers himself as that. His mind keeps carrying him back to the way he was, instead of letting him see what he's become today. A man can really be successful when he quits looking behind him." 13th in the "There's Always Tomorrow" series.

Just a very little and plotless ficlet for Thanksgiving.

After suffering a devastating loss, could the grieving process lead Matt and Kitty into the arms of others? Whispers, rumors, and clues cause suspicious minds in this angsty tale about roads that if taken, may lead both the Dillons to make the biggest mistakes of their lives.

Another Matt and Kitty meet each other story, but I think you can never have too much of those.
