Cody is so Cody in the story. Specially in the parts where the Native issue comes forth, and his usual foot in mouth syndrome comes trough in a very endearing manner. This is Cody all right - all the way through!

Kim R

Home Fires

at PonnyExpressen

Lou had that jealousy streak going on something fierce at times :). Kim brings it out and this is the Lou I remember from the series. And I love her for it - finally she can be a truer person - with faults and all. And who wouldn't be jealous in Lou's shoes.

Dee

Encounter at Shiloh

at Rival Riders

Jimmy and Kid. After all they loved each other - and their bond was stronger than any war or differences of opinions. This story brings that out - what they both were truly about. Love it.
