Summary
"Dear Mr. Goode," Matt reads aloud, "we are pleased to accept your novel, Venom in Violet, as a publication to be serialized through Putnam, at a rate of—"
Doc leaps to snatch the letter away from him before he can dangle it above his head. "That's quite enough from you, young man."
Leaning back, Matt crosses his arms. "From me?" Doc tucks it back atop the stack of handwritten papers, pinning them together under a paperweight. "I'm not the one publishing Chester's story behind his back. Or collecting payment in his name. Have you lost your mind, Doc? That's fraud. Not to mention a betrayal of someone who happens to think you're his friend."
...
Doc learns Chester has a special talent for the written word and publishes his drafts, unbeknownst to Matt and Chester. When Chester's stories gain a surprising amount of traction, they learn soundly: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. -

Gospel In Your Hands by TheFandomLesbian for someguywriting

Summary
Matt interrupts the hummed verses of a hymn. "What does it feel like?"
The song trails off. Chester shuffles his shoulders on the pillow and squeezes Matt's hand. "Mm? What's what feel like?"
The place where their hands join warms his bones. "When I fuck you. What's it feel like?"
Chester's brow furrows thoughtfully. With a grumble, he rolls onto his side, fitting neatly in the crook of Matt's shoulder, one arm strewn across his chest. "Feels good. 'S why I always am hounding you to do it to me."
"I've deduced that."
Chester's hand rests on his sternum, where he rubs slow circles, one at a time, between his ribs, where he can palpate his heart. "Why do you ask?"

Winter 1871-1872: The Journal of Chester Goode by TheFandomLesbian

Summary
I crawl out of the crevasse back into those vicious screaming winds with snow coming in sideways hard enough to sting my eyeballs.
For a second I find myself thinking about Indians, Navajo Indians, and how they got that legend about them things they say run around in winter bringing evil and famine and got a shriek like death. I forget the word they have for it. Mr. Dillon told me our word is skin-walkers, and we aren't to say it out loud around the Indians. The sound of the wind and all that white and all the burning and stinging and hurting and bleeding and then Abner comes to and I hear him sounding like a hog that got stuck the wrong way in butchering and ain't died right away and I figure this is exactly what one of them skin-walker critters would do to a couple men.
But this ain't Navajo country, so I reckon we're just real, real down on our luck.

Summary
The rusted hinges on the double doors wail a protest as they swing open. The dark backlit silhouette of a skinny man with a leaning posture enters the saloon. Matt's brow furrows as the man proceeds into the bar. Lamplight illuminates his shadowy face, which prods a sense of deja-vu in the pit of his belly, knotting up. Matt hasn't seen him before, but at first glance, or from a distance, he looks like someone he knows very well.
"Why, Matt," Kitty whispers, "he almost looks like—"
"Yeah. Yeah, there's some resemblance."
.
In which Chester's brother comes to Dodge, and Matt breaks his rule not to meddle in family affairs. -

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. -
