Hi,
Been in an angsty mood lately so am looking for a sad story I once read. It was normal life for the boys until the end where you find out that Kid’s been dead since childhood and Heyes is in a mental institution and his whole life has just been made up in his head. Might’ve been a challenge story or something. Think it was short.

It’s me again looking for a story. This one was a crossover I think of ASJ and The High Chaparral? Heyes has been shot and is trying to get away from Kid in the desert. Kid has to tie Heyes to him at night. Heyes holds a knife out to try and get free, maybe first to Kid’s throat, I think? It’s been a long time.
Thanks for any help.

I could only find one High Chaparral crossover but not sure it's what you're wanting.
AS&J Meet the High Chaparral by Carol Broyles Mexican bandits leave a wounded Heyes & Kid in desert with no supplies or horses - Heyes tries to talk Kid into leaving him behind - they get rescued & Heyes is recovering when the bandits show up at the house - Heyes & Kid fight back the bandits saving Victoria ASJfans.ashtonpress
I'll post on Facebook to see if folks might know what story you're thinking of.

Actually, that sounds like the one. I may have had my stories crossed.
But I can’t get the link to open.
Thanks

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure that website has disappeared, too. May have to look at it through one of those archive sites.

I am desperate and not sure whether I dreamt this story! I thought it was by Caroline someone.
Kid finds out he has two children, a boy and girl; their mother has died and they're in an orphanage. The Kid takes them on and he and Heyes raise them. I think the mom was quite bitter and wasn't the greatest parent. For some reason I believe the girl is Bridget. But I can't find it anywhere and I am seriously wondering if I imagined it. Though my imagination is not usually that good.
Anyone got an inkling of what I'm on about?

I’m not home to check for sure but those are Drena Hill stories. Don’t have a link to her defunct site immediately available. I really enjoyed those stories.

Yes indeedy Hanna. Thank you. Think that was partly where I got inspiration from for After Amnesty. Though the story went its own way. Lol

I’m trying to find a story where Heyes was forced to help some guy that knew him rob a bank. The guy knocked Heyes out during the job and he was caught unconscious in front of the open safe and took to jail. Heyes won’t tell Kid what exactly happened because the guy told him that if he talked, he’d hunt Kid down and kill him. Heyes goes to court using an alias other than Joshua Smith. Can’t remember if he goes to prison or not.
Does that ring any bells? I’ve tried to find it all evening. I know I didn’t see it on AO3 because I never visit that site.
Thanks

LOL me again. Anyone know a story where it looks like Heyes is killed swept away by the river? Kid doesn't cope well. Heyes isn't dead though.

Someone on fb found it for me. But I really enjoyed yours too Eleanor. Also another story someone suggested too. Thanks :)
