abuseSorry this is so late in finding you, but I just stumbled on Young Rider fanfic today. This was great! So sweet and so true to character.

Kid was the romantic type. It was endearing and sweet and one of the things she loved so much about him, but it scared her, too. The school of hard knocks had taught Lou the importance of pragmatism, realism, and when necessary, pessimism. Kid's natural pride and innate optimism would have him marching off to war like Odysseus, with the promise that one day he'd come home. But where did that leave Penelope? At home alone in a cold, hard bed for twenty years, forced to keep his memory alive when everyone believed him dead. Kid was willing to leave her because he believed, heart and soul, that he'd be back. Lou was equally unwilling to let him go because she believed, heart and soul, that even well-intentioned men with sensitive hearts and high ideals could be killed by a lead ball between the eyes.
-Loved this bit! Lou really was the practical one, wasn't she? You describe them both so well here.

Now I need to get the DVDs! You reminded how much I miss this show.

Thank you.

abuseWow, I check your profile for more stories and I wonder how I didn't find them before. lol.

This was really good; it made me remember that last episode. I, too, was a big fan of the show. You really did hit the characters on the head. We all know Kid did go to the war; we just don't know if he made it through or if Lou lost another family.

Great job.

abuseOh, I just found this in the just in section, and had to read it twice becasue I wasn't sure I read it correclty the first time. I loved Young Riders when it was on, and this story was perfect. You kept them In character and it was sweet and sad and I could feel that lump in my throat for poor Lou. Great job and wonderful story!
