Rated: K+ (865 words)

Summary:  Hoss Cartwright is invited to a tea party. Cakes and seasoning on the menu. Few minutes stolen from the ordinary day…  

Rated: K (1,575 words)

Summary:  A short story situated in a toggled Bonanza-verse where Hoss has a helping wife, this short story is a little journey to ask why Adam left, what urged him to go and why he would have been troubled. It’s a skill to love and respect, but it’s yet another skill to say farewell, to wish a happy voyage.  K for the lack of any disturbing or impolite diction; the story is much mature in its theme, though, I hope.  

Rated: K (4,955 words)

Summary:  A vignette on a married Hoss, a linguist Hoss, a philosopher Hoss who is contemplating the universe – or tidbits of it, the least. A different view, a key to interpret my longer stories.  

Rated: K+ (1,180 words)

Summary:  Continuation to the story of Borderland, though possible to catch as a stand-alone, too. Here, Hoss lives the love and the marriage he has chosen. A love story, but also a story of something more. A romance written by a person not romantic at all. Contains some mature passages and difficult scenes, and old age character death.

PG-13 is for implications of intimate relationship, and story is recommended only for mature readers who can cope with mature writing.  Rated: T (47,785 words)

All characters, settings, and events are the property of their respective owners. The original characters and plot belong to me, the ones known from Bonanza belong to their rightful owners and creators.  

Rating T WC 1700

Summary:   A Hoss story, of the desirable and desiring Hoss, the masculine Hoss some don’t see and others forget. Please note: description of passion, containing references to marital intimacy; sexual innuendo. For those who give space and respect to their imagination.  

Rated: T PG-13: mature situations, adult relationship. (1,775 words)

Summary:  A thought of how it would feel to marry in the Cartwright Clan; a short story of the eyes that see through more than their lenses.  

Rated: K+ (1,350 words)

Summary:  A Hoss-starred fairytale, to reward those who always wanted to see the romantic side of Hoss Cartwright written into one story. A bit of a fairy-tale, a portion of Hoss being Hoss, a part of Bonanza and – yes, some other themes combined to that framework.
