Jess is caught between Sheriff Mort on one side and his loyalty to Slim and his family on the other. The worst thing is that an answer is due in three days time.

Something is happening around the Sherman ranch. Slim and Jess have been at odds for days, but neither one knows exactly why. What could possibly have these boys so on edge? Sentinel/Guide AU (for summary of AU, see Ch1 of Guide Me Home). Mild swearing, mentions of violence. Now Complete!

"You fight one Vale, you have to lick 'em all." –Laramie Citizen in Killer Without Cause - Sequel to the season two episode.

"Get out of Laramie, Harper." That was the message, all right. But dadgum, who's the sender?

"You are cordially invited to the Sherman Harper Anniversary Party. They'll be food and games for all. Bring your memories."

A case of mistaken identity nearly fatal consequences for Jess Harper. Inspiration drawn from the beginning of the Clint Eastwood movie Hang 'Em High

Slim and Jess find out that writing the perfect advertisement is harder than it seems. One-Shot, Complete.

Based on the episode 'The Marshals". What if Marshal McGary had a niece with him when Jess was hurt by the river that day? And her name was Naomi and she stayed in Laramie?

Jess rides away to Utah to deliver horses. While he is away he is shot, robbed and left for dead. When he awakens he has amnesia but somehow he never looses his ties to Slim.

Does lightning strike only once or can it hit the same place multiple times? For the Sherman ranch, it seems as if the storm will never end.

Summary: During a family vacation to ST Louis, Andy Sherman becomes a big brother setting the stage for the most horrific life- altering episodes of the Sherman- Harper Ranch family.

How does a grieving rancher cope with railroad survey crews, nosy neighbors, and the ever- present ghost of his partner? As it turns out he has cards up his sleeve and a Mountain goat for a friend.

When Andy is injured in a cattle drive accident, Slim takes some time to reflect on his anger about the incident. Meanwhile, Jess is healing from the wounds left by a friend's betrayal, and contemplates forgiveness with the help of a stranger.

Yuma prison. Every time the name is spoken, contempt is on the tongue. It's hot, it's vile, it's death, and this is how it's described by men that truly belonged there. When two innocent men are sent there, they will find out what Yuma is really like. It's worse.

An email conversation with Westfalen and Jantallian led me to this poem and to the question: Did Andy and Jess and Jonesy and Slim ever stop to wonder at the forces that had forged their unlikely family? I've no doubt that they did. * * * To hear this poem read by the author, go to SoundCloud dot com and search for A Michigan Skylark in Laramie.

NOW COMPLETE: How does Jess always know when people are sneaking up on him? How does Slim always manage to calm him down? A look at their backstory, and maybe some answers to these questions. Sentinel/Guide AU. Rated T for some violence, suspense, (very) mild swearing, and side character deaths. Don't let the AU scare you! :) Try it!

Jess has been living with the Sherman's for near on a year when a chance encounter at the saloon in Laramie reignites old fears and nearly destroys the new life he's tried to build.

Jess has only been at the Sherman Ranch a short time. Slim decides to send Jess to get a loan repayment even though Jonesy is not sure that they can trust the new ranch hand to return with the money. Jess gets the money, but he experiences some very strange things on his return trip to the Sherman Ranch. This story is now complete.

A mysterious woman from Slim's past, stage coach robberies, forgeries, and broken lamps converge at the ranch one spring.

How has being part of a community changed a man who has been on the drift as long as he can remember? Enjoy! Thanks for the reviews! Looking forward to someone pointing out what song I was hearing in my head while I wrote. Hints in title of story and chapters. Some more strained than others. Last hint in one of the OC.

Jess has likely been in countless gunfights. Some long and drawn out, some hard and fast. This gun battle might be Jess' hardest yet. But while his take on the matter would be interesting to hear, it is better told from the other side of the gun, as told through the eyes of another.

If it hadn’t been for his father, Slim wouldn’t have become the man that he is. But the road was not always smooth, as can be expected from two people who are so much alike.

Jess Harper's time in the Civil War was a defining experience, and many of the people he met there would have a lasting impact on his life. This is a crossover with other western shows as well. In progress.

It's hard to find a grave, even harder when there's a familiar name carved into the front.

Jess has a vivid dream that scares him to death, but also makes him view the world in a different way. Rated T for major character death (but, then again, it is all a dream, so...). Just wanted readers to be forewarned.
