2 Mike's Decision by GSgal
I hated that Matt went to bed with Mike & they had a child. I believe if Amanda Blake hadn't died after Return to Dodge, the movies that followed RTD would have featured Matt & Kitty's child. Unfortunately that didn't happen. My story is an ATC to Matt's Love Story & a MM to the Last Apache. (Don't worry. There's no interaction be Matt and Mike in my story.)

7 Hole in Heaven » by ParkerPal
A follow up to "Soft Rain." A reader requested a story of what Matt and Kitty went through when he returned to Dodge after dealing with Jude Bonner and the Dog Soldiers. As I said before, "Hostage" is such a brutal, unresolved episode that I rarely watch any of it. Writing "Soft Rain" and this story has helped settle it a little more in my own mind.

6 The Kissmas Tree » by GSgal
This is going to be a two chapter story based on the season 1 episode, "Magnus." It tells how Kitty was able to get a Christmas tree for her Christmas Eve party. (Yes, I know it's not even Halloween. But I figured since the Hallmark Channel started their Countdown to Christmas, I could post a Christmas fanfic.) I don't own the Gunsmoke characters.

12 Soft Rain by ParkerPal
A short ATC to season eighteen's "The Hostage." There are probably many others. This one formed almost fully in my mind, and somewhat reluctantly, since this is an episode I can barely ever watch.

6 Matt's Quest by GSgal
The inspiration for this short story came from something Matt said to Kitty in season five's "Horse Deal." I do not own any of the main Gunsmoke characters. The story has a new ending. (Thanks 52shari! Your review inspired the ending. You're right those ladies did do Kitty a favor.)

12 Always on My Mind by festusgal
This was inspired by Willie Nelson's version of the song. I've always felt Matt owed Kitty a few words here or there and this song reminds of their dynamic. Set after season 8 or there abouts.

12 Crossed Connections » by GSgal
I thought I'd write a short (3 chapter) story with some humorous mystery. The only characters that belong to me are Gwendolyn and her mother, Ellenore Dalton. I would say this takes place around season 4. (The humor and mystery doesn't really start until chapter 2.)

13 Ad Astra Per Aspera » by GSgal
The title of this story means "To the stars through difficulties." It's Kansas' state motto. This story is an AU, set around the 4th or 5th season. I'm not sure how many chapters it will be. I'll try to post a chapter a day. The original Gunsmoke characters are not mine.

9 You're Still the One by lostcowgirl
A song recorded by Orleans made me think of Kitty's emotional turmoil in season 15's The Badge. Here's an MM as she readies herself to surprise Matt in his office and a short ATC that follows the final scene of them walking arm in arm down Front Street.

246A Passionate Understanding: Vignettes Through the Years » by lilyjack00
Most are extremely brief, all will be stand-alone vignettes, completely unhindered by plot. ;-) Some sweet, some bittersweet, some humorous, some poignant, all romantic. When you get to the end of the "chapter" it is over. The end. If you like 'em, I've got seven or so already written, another half dozen partly written. If you hate 'em, I can quit at any time. Thanks, lj
