Fortune’s Son (by Patina)

Reviewer: jojay Anonymous Date: 20 Jan 2013 01:39 pm Title: Fortune’s Son Thank you for filling in a little of Clay’s story, and for the History lesson!*
Reviewer: Cheaux Signed Date: 03 Sep 2012 03:36 pm Title: Fortune’s Son Thanks for creating this backstory.  It certainly explains the “Stafford” surname which was never addressed in the show.  You created a nice visual at the lake, the two brothers standing at their mother’s grave.  Very nice.Author’s Response: Thank you, Cheaux, for letting me know you enjoyed this story. I wish we could’ve had a scene in the ep in which Joe and Clay visited their mother’s grave.*
Reviewer: faust Signed Date: 22 Aug 2012 07:03 am Title: Fortune’s Son “He gave the locket back to Joe and wished for the memory of a mother who soothed a child’s fears with a song.” That actually made my eyes water. Everything is in this one sentenvce, IMO. Even though Clay should have similar memories of his Irish adoptive mother, but perhaps, in this situation, he wanted something else: the real thing.Author’s Response: Thank you, faust. I appreciate your feedback. And thank you for letting me know how much that one sentence affected you.

I'm a historical archaeologist who loves westerns and Bonanza is my favorite. I wrote my first Bonanza story in 2006 and the plot bunnies are still hopping. The majority of my stories include the entire family and many are prequels set during the period when Ben and Marie were married.

  1. One hates to think that all Clay cares about is how much money he would either inherit or what the frame from his mother’s picture is worth.
