Summary
Chester faces Matt, whiter than a winter sky, eyes wide and glazed. Then, they narrow, troubled, like he's trying to remember something.
His next breath catches in his throat. His hand opens, fumbling, dropping the bucket of fish. It dumps over. The water splashes their boots, the dead fish sloshing along with it, the light glinting from their scales, as Chester's hand rises to his chest. Matt's gaze darts there where a scarlet patch blossoms in the front of his flannel, as he pats there blindly, like he can cover the bullet hole with his palm. His knee buckles, bad leg skewing out from under him.
Matt lunges forward to catch him. "Chester!" A hand flies to his back, where the bullet entered, and his front, pressing where it exited, holding him together as he eases him to the ground.
Gun thunder roars in his ears. As he cradles Chester's lean body between two broad hands, he doesn't think it will ever quiet again.
...
In which Chester is severely wounded, but Matt is the one who walks away with scars.Series

Summary
"Kansas," Matt repeats. It doesn't sound familiar. Slowly, he shakes his head. He doesn't know where he is or how he got here.
"Do you…" The stranger falters. Persevering, he brings himself to ask the question Matt fears: "Do you know who I am?"
How does he answer? His heart thrums steadily in his chest. This is someone he knows, someone he cares about, someone he doesn't want to hurt. He doesn't remember why. But why doesn't matter. His tongue trails over the front of his teeth. "I… I know you're my friend." His mouth feels tacky and dry. "I don't remember your name."
Hurt reflects in his eyes, caught somewhere between fear and concern. Wiping at his mouth with the back of his hand, he clears the drool from his cheek. "Well, I—" He breaks off, reconsidering. His hand bunches up in the blankets. "I'm Chester. 'Nd you's right. I'm your friend. You got plenty of friends here in Dodge."
A head injury robs Matt of his memory, making him an easy target for every gunslinger in the west. Chester takes him away to recover. But as their relationship blossoms in this new world, Matt finds himself with fewer tethers to the man he was before.

Summary
Kitty's breath caught in her throat. Matt, her Matt, a towering man with the temper of a bull and the guardedness of a bobcat, skittish as a beaten horse to a gentle hand and protective as a wolf over its cubs, stooped over to kiss another man.
What the hell?
She didn't need to ask. Some part of her already knew.
While avoiding Matt after an argument, Kitty sneaks into the office in search of her missing clutch, but she finds herself cornered into witnessing something unbearably private. With no choice but to wait it out, she watches as the intimidating marshal lays down every weapon and every shield in the arms of his beloved deputy.

Summary
Jim steps into a clump of dry grass. It crunches underfoot, poisoned by the brackish water pouring into the Pacific. "You'll feel better if you clear your head."
Harry's toes meet the edge of a white line, an old stripe of paint marking the lot, faded but not vanished from view. "I don't want to be out here." The immense stature of his partner is nothing compared to the placid blue waves. He sees the hundreds of ways a man can die in deep water. Smashed on a rocky shoreline, sucked under by a ravenous current, carried out to sea to be devoured by sharks. "I don't like water, Jim."
He blurts the words of this privileged secret he has carried for so long. Saying it aloud feels surreal, an admission of some great guilt.
Jim beckons Harry with the same limb that, a few hours ago, he used to lean upon him. The words men don't say to one another: You can rely on me. I can carry your weight, no matter what form it takes. Jim's face is softened by fondness. "I know, Harry."
Detective Harry Gates has a fear of water. It's up to his partner Jim McClain to figure out why.

Summary
Matt and Chester return from a fishing trip with a horrendously plain, droning murmur following them to Dodge City. Its consistency is maddening, stealing the brief pockets of silence from their lives they previously utilized as a respite from the people-chatter and clamor they’re usually up to their necks in. The roles are reversed as they find that any layer of noise louder than a hum smothers it, forced to become attuned to living life surrounded by constant hubbub or an audible version of uncanny valley haunting them every moment they’re alone.
Gritting it out they won’t stand for when faced with the idea of enduring it for the remainder of their lives, much less the next few months, so born of this desperate scrabble away from the omnipresent Hum they find foothold in the long, dreary process of halting it.

Summary
Naðrfold, a small colony tucked away in a giant cave system was known for offering refuge to those in need. They had been growing and thriving for years, nobody outside knowing exactly where they were, until merchants started avoiding their regular routes and nearby colonies raised their defenses. Villages were left in ruins with no survivors. An unknown force was on the rise. The colony needed help.
Tore, a lumberjack, who thought he was content in his daily routines, volunteers to become a scout and defend the colony. Sounds simple right? If only he hadn't gotten assigned the most annoying teacher he could have wished for. Eirik, on the other hand, was finally having some fun on his job, getting under the newbie's skin.
However, once they find strange symbols all over a burned-down village, Eirik experiences strange nightmares and intrusive thoughts that start to slowly consume him.
