Four seasons of the year with the Cartwrights.
PG 13; adult language & violence. For "Autumn on the Ranch" challenge. Hoss and Adam head into the mountains to kill a ravaging bear but Joe wants to join them, invited or not.
WHN for "Broken Ballad". For 'In the Heat of the Moment' challenge. After Ed Payson's death, Adam is bereft and intent on exacting revenge.
Spring Awakens Challenge. In "My Son, My Son", it is said that Ben always treated Eden like one of his his own, yet no Cartwright son mentions how Eden was as a boy. And Adam looks so odd when Katherine mentions the picnic long ago as if it brings up something he'd rather not remember.
Written for A Winter's Tale challenge. It's the dead of winter and Ben collapses. Adam is out training his dog, Hop Sing feels helpless, Joe is too young to help so the burden falls on Hoss who feels less than up for it.
