DISCLAIMER: I don't own 'em. They belong to 20th Century Fox, to CBS and the respective actors of the series, and to the ages. This is a work of a fan, done for no remuneration save the satisfaction of the work.
WARNINGS: Slash, implied incest, poetry.
AUTHOR NOTES: This story is set some time after the final episode of the series. I wrote a '3:10 to Yuma/Tombstone' cross-over called "Dime Novel" last year and I'm working on a sequel called "Penny Dreadful," and I couldn't help imagining the life of Johnny Madrid as subject matter for the western tabloids. Walt Whitman's work appears not only as a plot device but as a reminder that he was one of the first artists in America to explore gay themes. This story belongs in rareslash because it's rare to find slash in this genre, and even more rare to find the brothers the subject of the slashing. I did it for the first time here.
