Lives on in fan fiction
The early '90s saw the untimely
cancellation of The Young Riders,
but the later part of the decade marked the re-emergence of our favorite
Western show. These days Kid, Lou, Jimmy, Buck, Cody, Ike, Noah, Teaspoon,
Rachel, Jesse, Emma and Sam can be seen a couple of times a day on the
Odyssey Channel.
 But
even when the show was not on the air, fans kept its memory alive through
Web sites and, of course, fan fiction. Pony
Tales is only one of the many
sites which feature works inspired by the show.
The stories here are written
by fans for fans of the show. Feedback -- be it praise or criticism
-- is very much appreciated by the writers. The e-mail address of the author
is usually found on the top of the page.
Contributions are very much
welcome. Please send stories to Louandkid@yahoo.com.
Some of the stories have
"cover designs" like the one on the right. It doesn't mean those stories
are more special than the others, only that I had a lot of time on my hands
when they were submitted ;-)
If you need help with your
fanfic Riders Coming!
offers a wealth of information about the show and the characters. Drop
by Days of Our Lives, which features a detailed episode guide or visit
Who's Who, which features extensive biographies on both the characters
and the actors playing them. If you're still stumped, drop
me a note. Maybe I could help :D
Please consider When
Morning Comes -- for a work in progress. It is the sequel to When
Shadows Fade. Below are some of my other stories. I hope you enjoy
them. Click here for the complete list of
stories.

DAY OF DISCOVERY (A)
By The Stationmistress
As he leaned on one side
of the bunkhouse and watched, he saw the Kid get on his horse Katy. Lou
followed a little distance behind. The two riders spent a couple of minutes
talking, minutes Sam spent wondering if he should reveal himself. The decision
was kind of made for him when Kid looked around, then reached down to draw
Lou to him and kiss her lightly on the lips. Shocked, Sam stumbled backwards
and landed on the seat of his pants.

ONCE UPON
A FAIR By The Stationmistress
Stunned. Hickok's jaw literally
dropped at the sight of the dressed up Lou in front of him. Though the
face looked vaguely familiar, it was the look in her eyes that jolted Jimmy.
There was a tentativeness there, as if the young woman was just finding
out who she was, what she was. And for some reason Jimmy is finding her
shyness incredibly sexy. As his gaze dropped down to her bodice, where
a hint of swelling peeked from the lace, Jimmy felt like he was punched.

ONE FLEETING
TOUCH
By The Stationmistress
Captured.
That was how she felt when
his lips claimed hers. He took. He demanded. He possessed. No gentleness,
no seduction. All the pent-up emotions and frustrations of the past years
burst like floodwaters in a dam. There was a savageness in the way he took
her mouth that frightened, yet strangely, excited her during that oh so
brief moment when his lips joined hers.

| PONY TALE
By The Stationmistress
He didn't answer but the
stubborn set of his chin told her enough. That and the ticking muscle on
his left jaw. A brief flash of humor suggested to her that he was probably
related to a mule. She suppressed the smile that threatened to break out,
knowing he wouldn't appreciate amusement at this point. Instead, she walked
close and started nuzzling his face. She thought his anger was melting
but he took a step back, then another and then one more until there was
a huge gap between them.

THREE OF
HEARTS By The Stationmistress
Maybe it was the proximity,
or maybe it was the way the light from the fire played on her gentle features,
but before he knew it, Jimmy had placed a soft kiss on Lou's brow. Just
before he pulled back, he noticed a trail of drying tears on Lou's cheeks.
Jimmy suddenly remembered
another scene like this, about two nights ago when he sat eating while
Lou cried herself to sleep... shedding tears over Kid whom she thought
was falling in love with another woman.

WHEN SHADOWS
FADE
By The Stationmistress
His evil work done, the leader
signaled his men to gather and prepare to leave the scene of their crime.
The leader -- who hasn't spoken a word during the entire time -- now let
out a maniacal laugh as he led the escape. Kid's ears perked up. There
is something familiar about that laugh. But all thoughts fled his mind
when the big black horse carrying the leader suddenly stopped in front
of the bush where Kid was hiding. Kid felt his heart skip a beat.
