Disclaimer: Once upon a time in the Old West, CBS joined forces with Mirisch Entertainment, Trilogy and MGM. They brought together Seven unbelievably gorgeous men and made a Television series. And all was well. But the fans saw that certain of these sexy, hunky men did look upon each other with lust and longing in their eyes. And being the sweet, kind, generous fans they were wrote stories where they could have fun and hot cowboy sex and comfort each other after extreme pain and angst having been visited upon them. And they lived happily ever after…
Acknowledgements: This story has been such a long time in the writing that there’s been a whole slew of kind people who have been beta readers for me during that time. Annie and Judy were there at the beginning. Ren has tackled the whole huge monster just recently and has been invaluable with research into the time period. Many thanks to LaraMee who not only inspires such nice little pictures in my head with her suggestions, but has helped me improve my writing skills, such that they are. Special thanks to Kaly who shudders at slash but still let me read a piece out loud and told me if I'd gotten Josiah's voice right. You’ve all been wonderful and this story would be a lot less without you. A whole lot more confusing too! As always, I’m a constant tinkerer, so any errors, extra spaces or extra body parts are wholly the property of the author (especially the extra body parts<EG>).
Special Acknowledgement: To Teresa who has encouraged… and prodded… and checked up on me… and patiently waited. This one would have faded into the sunset long ago if not for you, hon. Thank you!
Warning: This is a dark story with graphic violence and non-consensual
sex (rape). Here there be H/C, angst
and guilt by the score. EVERYBODY gets in on it. So if that ain't your thing,
then "Move along little dogies." Angst, H/C, angst, non-consensual sex
(rape),
more H/C, more angst, graphic violence (did I say angst?).
