Healing is slow, and doesn't always take the expected path. A post-Hoss, post-Alice Joe story.

I too (like Questfan in her excellent 'The Squirrel's Stash') have been playing with the Pinecone prompts on Bonanza Brand, and will post them here as they are written. All are 500 words or less, based on a provided prompt.

Summary: Abigail has bitten off more than she can chew when she finally meets up with Adam Cartwright.

It has been five years since Joe Cartwright took Bella Carnaby as his wife and nearly twenty since he first met Rosey O'Rourke – a woman he knows his father loves, but one that life and time has conspired to keep away from the Ponderosa. A new threat and an old enemy appear to threaten the Cartwrights – will the end of their collective tale be joy, or tragedy?

Introducing a little sister for the Cartwrights. She will be related to characters from other Westerns and have some famous Godfathers, but they will rarely be in the story. It will be necessary to show her life before she moves to the Ponderosa. Warning, spanking of minor children in some chapters. Trolls will be dealt with by the Three Billy Goats Gruff. Story is AU.

Primrose Cartwright or Rosie as most people call her is only daughter of Ben Cartwright and little sister to Adam, Hoss, and little Joe and probably ever will be the only girl of the Ponderosa Ranch.

Joe's always getting in trouble. Good thing Candy's always there to get him out of trouble. Joe/Candy slowburn.

Adam is leaving for university on the morrow but he has doubts and choices to make. Follows "The Creek" and "The Lake". Includes the Bonner brothers and Carl Reagan.

Adam returns home to his family after fighting in the Civil War. His father and brothers try to help him as he struggles to recover and find his place on the Ponderosa again and then—he meets someone unexpected. Who knew Doctor Paul Martin had a niece! This story is about the indestructible strength of a newly reunited family and the blossoming love between two healing hearts.

Ginny Cartwright experiences a life changing moment at the young age of four. This story will explore the aftermath and it's affect on the Cartwright family. Other characters are included in the story but as most know I can only tag four. Please enjoy, feed back is welcome

Little Joe gets an unexpected surprise on his way home to the Ponderosa.

Ben's memories of the past and dreams for the future all revolve around a simple pearl ring.

Adam is now married and a father. This is a story of as yet an unknown number of chapters. The story is about Adam and his family and may contain the threat of or actual spanking of minors. All of the Cartwright's are involved.

After the loss of Hoss and Joe's wife, Alice, the Cartwright family is facing another tragedy. A post canon piece. ***Warning: major character death***

One of the Cartwrights is poisoned, another one searches for the assassin while the other two try to keep the house together. Will the family come out on top once again or will this day just get worse? Will the sun set on two fresh graves or will the family be reunited? Read and find out!

A short WHN for "He Was Only Seven" - a moment on the way back home. (Characters: Joe and Jamie - listed here since poor Jamie still doesn't appear as a character choice ... :-P)

This is a story about Hoss and his wife Caroline and what happens when they take on 3 young boys overnight to help out Sheriff Roy Coffee. There is no limit as yet as to the chapters but I do not expect the story to be a long one. It is part of my Role of a Father scenerio but I decided that the story should stand on it's own.

This is the eighth of the To Everything series. This story concentrates on the Cartwright children. Adam and Shiloh have their hands full with their work, but they'll find quickly that growing children take time and patience and…that priorities change. It will grow into a story about each child as he/she grows. There will be joy, heartbreak and the unexpected. It's May of 1866.

What if the Cartwright clan had another sibling? What if that sibling was a girl? This will be a series of one-shots featuring the youngest Cartwright, Jennifer.

A response to a writing challenge. Captain Cartwright receives new orders along with information that he chooses to not yet release. Short.

Joe is sent by his father to help a young widow. He soon has his hands full trying to find homes for the widow and her four-legged family. The 5th in the Ben Brown series.

Adam finally comes home and has to face something he's kept buried for many years. Can he close the book on a dark chapter of his life with Joe's help?

Hoss finds out the hard way that it's not always easy being the one in the middle of ... well, everything. *On hold*

Created for the Bonanza Boomers challenge to write a story set in the hottest time of year, summer. Twenty-one year old Hoss Cartwright has a problem. Older brother Adam just took off into the desert without a word and Little Joe wants to follow him. Pa will have his hide, he knows. But it's awful hard to say 'no' to Little Joe...

Prequel to my 2016 story, The Firstborn's Wife. Clay has left the Ponderosa and is making his way...well, as far away as he can get. Only, he doesn't get that far. Instead, he meets Maybelle Edwards, and everything changes.
