Adverse Possession
A land hungry Frenchman causes problems for the Seven. This is pure story, folks, containing a healthy dose of totally unnecessary destruction. Gotta love the genre! All Seven.

After The Fall
Book Two of The Four Kingdoms series
Universe: The Four Kingdoms
Date Added: 23 May 2004
Alpha Males
Crossover with The A-Team
It reads like any other episode, for the most part, and you don't need any prior knowledge of the A-Team to read it. Basic Idea – when the A-Team come to town with a couple of nuns, they not only bring a boatload of trouble, they really piss off Chris. Mostly Ezra and Chris in this one.
Universe: Old West

A Betting Man
Formerly titled A Lucky Man
Ezra is taking a break from Four Corners when, needless to say, things go wrong, and the fog blanketing the region is the least of his problems. Ezra, Chris and baddies.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 19 May 2004
Bodyguards
Basic idea: Mary hires Chris, Vin, Ezra and Josiah to act as her bodyguards when she goes to investigate the disappearance of one of her oldest friends, but Mary soon falls to the background when disaster takes one of them away. All Seven.

Catch Manny
Medium length answer to Vi's October Challenge. Besides being pure action, I actually use ALL SEVEN GUYS. Pretty cool eh? I also managed to use lines from the show, somehow. Anyway, the description is that all seven guys are chasing a bad guy through the streets of Manhattan. All Seven.

Cornerstone
A single letter causes the loss of the one man Ezra thought he could always count on when the bullets start to fly.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 19 May 2004
The Decorators
Just a silly little bit that has nothing to do with anything. It's a challenge answer, and I was unfortunately infected with JD's sense of humor at the time. I blame Twyla Jane. (It was her challenge).
Universe: NYC AU
Date Added: 20 May 2004
Demons And Lovers
When five of the Seven return from a mission in Red Fork looking battered and broken, emotions run high between two of them. Then some baddies arrive hoping to take advantage of an under-protected Four Corners. Mostly Buck, Ezra and JD.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 1 February 2004
Diamonds And Beans
An old friend of Nathan's has been accused of stealing a hundred thousand dollars in diamonds. When the boys go to clear his name, you just know things are not going to go well. Nathan and Ezra.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 20 May 2004
Emergency: Station 7
This AU is the result of a challenge. We had to create an AU using the setting of a TV show or Movie of our choice, and import the boys into it. This is NOT a crossover fic, as we were not allowed to use any of the characters from the other show. This is all Mag 7, just somewhere else. I chose one of my favorite old TV shows – Emergency. Hope you like it! No need to know the show to read this, though it would probably make it a heck of a lot less serious!

Equitable Action
A new little AU I’m creating in New York City. In this world, the boys are lawyers and investigators, crossing paths to help a certain bounty hunter clear his name.
Universe: NYC AU
Date Added: 20 May 2004
Explosions
Total wanton destruction begins this one (hence the name). When the seven meet some dynamite happy bank robbers, it causes repercussions that none could predict, including a surreal foray into Ezra’s civil war past. Mostly Ezra.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 1 February 2004
False Fathers
Josiah comes to the fore for this one, and we learn about his past as he tries to sort out his feelings for Four Corners and for Ezra. This one is one of my bloodiest – you’ve been warned. Now that I know what it means, I can say with absolute certainty, this is an h/c fic.

Four Corners Of The Ponderosa

Going Home Again
This is a crossover with my NYC AU and is also a challenge answer. Michelle asked us to write a supernatural story, and the guy's reaction thereto, and to include an otherworldly figure of some kind. I did. Totally got away from me, but, ah well. Chris, Vin and Ezra.

The Golden Bull
The first story in a new AU. This short little ditty sets up the scene, where Chris, Vin, Buck and Ezra are gentlemen making their living as merchants in the vibrant trading city of Venice in the mid-fourteenth century. Nathan is a sculptor, Josiah is a priest/monk (not acquainted with the corrupt Papacy in Rome) and JD is the youngest son of the Duke of Venice. In this story, they come together to help Ezra’s mother out of a rather interesting situation.

Lady Marshal
A Lady Marshal arrives in Four Corners and enlists the help of the Seven in taking down some infamous cattle rustlers. I promise, no Mary Sues and no romantic involvements, it is an action story. All Seven.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 1 February 2004
Lost At Sea
Short answer to Katherine’s June Challenge to create some parental/ancestral history for one of the boys. Surprisingly, I chose Ezra. I tried to do something a little different from the normal, and I’m told it came out a little sad. Ezra, and a hint of JD.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 19 May 2004
The Magpie
The theft of an opera singer’s brooch starts a chain of events that sends JD up a tree, Ezra into hell, and Chris fighting not to lose one of his men, meanwhile... there are all these birds…. Ezra, Chris and JD, primarily.

Short challenge answer. The smell from the kitchens of the hotel bring back some haunting memories for JD.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 20 May 2004
Out Of Order
Prequel to Equitable Action.
This is the story of how Ezra and Josiah met, and gives you an idea of what happened to bring them together. You have to excuse my love of New York City. I hate the Yankees, but I love New York City. It's all very confusing. LOL! Ezra and Josiah, with brief cameos by some of the others.
Universe: NYC AU

Penance - Missing Scene
On the day of the murder, where do Ezra and Buck disappear to when everyone else is rallying around Josiah? Here’s a missing scene to explain Ezra’s strong reaction to Irene’s body at the undertakers... and why he wears a gold band on his ring finger. Ezra and Buck.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 1 February 2004
Perspectives
Yet another short story, this one in response to the MARCH challenge offered by Katherine (the "Keepsake Challenge"). This is a conclusion, of sorts, to a tiny side story in Obsession that, as an Ezra person, always niggled me. It still does, so this may not be my only such "sequel," but it’s a harmless and sort of sweet one. Anyway, this story answers the question: whatever happened to that diamond?

The Poem Challenge
Universe: Old West

The Mask This very short descriptive vignette was my first answer. WB Yeats’ “The Mask” was the inspiration.
~*~*~*~
“Here's To Many More Lively Conversations” Dorothy Parker’s “Resume.” Ezra and Josiah.
~*~*~*~
A Summons Faint Yet Absolute Edward Dowden “By the Window.” This one is more of a story, and I think it’s the best one. It is a “Missing Scene” from the Pilot, concerning Ezra’s decision to go with Chris instead of just taking off on his own (which he could have done and right after he saw them... so why didn’t he?).
Pop Psychology
Vin is having nightmares, and they are killing him. Vin mostly, with Nathan, Ezra, Josiah and Chris all playing key parts. Can I suggest you read Three of a Kind first? You don't have to, but this story has a small part that relates back to that one.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 1 February 2004
The Quiet Week
It’s a hot summer week, and Ezra is predictably getting on Chris’s nerves. As punishment, he sends him out on the trail with Vin to teach him a lesson, and, of course, it all goes downhill from there. Chris, Buck, Vin and Ezra mostly, but the others are there too.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 1 February 2004
The Race
Four Corners is holding a foot race and, of all people, Buck is the one working all the angles.
Warning: juvenile behavior by grown men involved. Buck, Vin, Ezra, Chris, JD and Casey mostly, though Josiah and Nathan do show up.

Answer to the April Challenge, to base a story on a photograph supplied by KT. I chose the picture of, yes, a road. Ezra with a touch of Nathan.
Universe: Old West

Silver Linings
This one is pure Ezra. I love this one, so be nice. In this story, a piece Ezra’s ugly past comes back to haunt him just as the cold winds of early December begin to pick up.

Spring Water
A prison escape across a fat river. Nothing is ever easy. This is a polished up challenge answer of mine.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 9 May 2004
The Story Of Boston Bound
This one’s a mystery, a la Agatha Christie. As January snowstorms blanket Four Corners, a stagecoach arrives bringing a figure from Nathan’s past... and one from Ezra’s. There is romance, murder, and three determined detectives named Chris, Buck and Vin.

That Night
A little piece of slightly supernatural fluff. Must be that desert (October) air. Mostly Ezra.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 9 May 2004
Three Of A Kind
Crossover with Maverick
If that frightens you, please don’t let it! The story requires no prior knowledge and is really just for fun. Basic idea: when Bret and Bart Maverick come to Four Corners, things become even more interesting than normal.... All Seven.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 19 May 2004
The Trial Of Vin Tanner
The challenge this time was to write a story about what might happen if five of the seven went to Tascosa to clear Vin, or what might happen to the two who remained behind. I chose the former, and tried my hand at a courtroom drama. Well, I'm no John Grisham, but, heck, who is?
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 9 May 2004
Trouble
A short character piece. Answer to Jen B's August challenge to write a story inspired by a song. This should take place several days following the events in One Day Out West. In other words, the boys are still getting to know each other and the town is still getting to know them....
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 8 August 2004
Trust, Truth, And Other Fictions
A short story about learning to live and let live. Mostly Ezra.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 9 May 2004
Two Fish Run Into A Wall
A sequel to Alpha Males. Crossover with The A-Team
About as serious as the last one, and again used my memory of the A-Team eps for fun. Katherine spotted four. All Four A-Team members and All Seven.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 19 May 2004
2004 (or How To Electrify An Eternal Optimist)
A sequel to 1918 (or How To Torture An Eternal Optimist).
Really, really short little fic written less than an hour after the Sox won... blame NotTasha!

What's In A Word
A very short piece in answer to the May challenge. Basically, its Vin and Ezra in a quiet Four Corners, not learning their lessons.
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 23 May 2004
What's Really Real?
Can you tell I like challenges? Here's another. Nathan had to be a main character and the story had to include the line: "A seed of doubt once planted, sown deep, had begun to grow and crack the very foundation that united them." The premise for this is that Ezra has finally gotten everything he ever wanted. Is this the end of the Seven?
Universe: Old West
Date Added: 19 May 2004
When Rivers Rise
Playing with timing, I placed this one about six months after Serpents. It’s April, and the weather is terrible, complete with unseasonable rains and flooding rivers. In the beginning, Chris and Buck are fighting, Vin is developing a bad cold (too much city living) and Ezra’s, well, being Ezra.
