Journey Home by NevadaRose reviews
Thanks to SingerMe for letting me in on this challenge. Here's my take on what the last episode of Season 20 should have been if the Powers That Be knew it was the end of the story and wanted to wind things up right. This is fairly short and you get a chapter a day. Comments on what you think is going to happen next are especially welcome. Yes, that means YOU, GunShy!

In Pursuit of Justice reviews
Matt feels compelled to go after a killer he failed to catch many years ago. This story follows on from Doc's Story - a version of Gold Train as seen through Doc's eyes. A few characters from that fic also take part in this story.

Conversation reviews
Reward for Matt (S1 E16) gives us a look into Matt's mind and how he views his job. There's a scene where he goes to visit Doc to talk about his fears - but we never hear most of it. This fills in that MM.

The Piano Player reviews
This story is based on Stage Stop from season 12. A good episode but definitely in need of a little more background as well as an ending. I hope this story provides both.

Doc's Story reviews
Gold Train is a 3 part episode that I always felt lacked an ending. Much of the story centers around Doc. This is the events of Gold Train as seen through his eyes. Some parts and dialog are taken from the episode and some are as Doc sees them.

"So he was a fellow lawman - several of those had passed through Dodge before too, and not all of them were committed to upholding justice. Some were even down- right unfriendly."

I had to write this ATC for There was Never a Horse (season 4). Matt and Chester had left such a mess in Doc's office that I wondered what he would think had happened when he returned home. Thanks to Lilyjack for help with the "Chesterisms"

Decisions and Desires reviews
The Long Branch Saloon, had a reputation for having the prettiest girls, the best whisky and the coldest beer. There was no problem attracting customers. As far as business went Miss Kitty Russell should be feeling very happy right now, but it wasn't business that was worrying her.
