Farewell (by idmarryhoss)
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.
