Where does the mind go when the body is trapped?

Kitty has unexpected visitors over the holidays and problems ensue.

This is an ATC to The Pillagers episode.

A Matt & Kitty Christmas story in one chapter, that I posted two years ago. Tis the season, so I thought I'd brush it off and put it out there again.

"I'll cook dinner for us here..." Gunsmoke fans have heard Kitty say those words. A Kitty story in one chapter!

In Louisiana, the retired marshal has spent almost four years living a life he never dreamed he deserved. He'd taken ahold of his second chance at happiness with a redhead and his blended family. Will his family's life remain charmed and perfect? Will something come out of the past to break them? A sequel to Rest Your Love on Me.

Doc's introspection after re-reading a favorite poem by William Wordsworth.

For seven years, Matt and Kitty had lived by the rules written by the marshal due to his profession. For the love of Kitty, Matt pens a new manifesto, written in Kitty's own tears of joy. There was nothing that meant more to him than his woman and the children they loved. Ride along and see where the road to happiness takes our favorite lovebirds. This is a sequel to Tangled Web.

A brief look at the relationship between Matt and Kitty, via a few verses of poetry. I promise the poetry is better than the summary.

A man from Kitty's younger days shows up in Dodge. (I am still terrible at this description thing).

Regret and guilt are powerful emotions, driving some to any length to atone.

Barely concealed anger simmered in the woman's eyes, and as she continued relaying the message, Matt began to suspect she was directing her anger at him. "He said that ten years ago you killed a man and left without taking responsibility for the consequences. He said that you destroyed lives, and he wanted you to have to face that, own up to it... They are going to ruin you."

A boy enters the Dillons' lives. But who is the mysterious boy? Board the mystery train to find out. I've been working on this story throughout the summer.

The continuation of the citizens of Dodge City, their lives, romance and trials.

A short story about Dr. Sam's birthday and the surprises that come with it.

In the episode "The Foundling" Kitty's maternal instincts are awakened. What would happen if another baby entered her life? Familiarity with "The Foundling" is helpful but not necessary in reading this story.

The consequences of getting even.

I watched "Blind Man's Bluff" S8 E24 again yesterday, and each time it makes me uneasily wonder what would have happened if Matt had remained so visually impaired. Same as with his serious injuries in "The Bullet/Gold Train," and "The Disciple." I realize some or many may not agree with me, but this is my version of what may have occurred.

What if Kitty decided to sell back her half interest in the Long Branch and return to New Orleans with her estranged father? Can Matt persuade her to stay? Find out in this rewrite of "Daddy-O." This story starts in the middle of "Daddy-O."

For fifteen years, Kitty Russell shared her love with a man who wore a badge. After seeing the dedicated lawman lying in the street, she decides to put him and Dodge City behind her. Will the U.S. Marshal bring her back to Kansas, or will an old love convince her to remain with him? An AU inspired by The Badge and Kitty's Love Affair.

Hostage! a season 18 episode: Matt arrests Virgil Bonner leading to Jude Bonner and his Dog Soldiers brutalizing and shooting Kitty. Matt takes the badge off to seek revenge. This is an ATC.

A humorous story about how our beloved Gunsmoke characters would respond to the issues this website is having. (Chester is also part of the story, but 4 characters is the most you can post.)

An MM/ATC to "The Raid" Part 2 (Season 11)

A young man's letter home.

Kitty and Ruby make surprise plans for Matt's birthday, but he has to leave town.
