Summary
Harry and Louis had fallen into bed together again that night, mouths greedy and hands needy. And now every time Louis stops at Fort Kearney, even if it’s weeks in between, he and Harry spend the night together. The nights are always filled with heat and passion, and it gives Louis something to think on fondly as he rides across the western territories carrying sacks of mail.
They’ve never talked about it, and they’ve never kissed. Louis doesn’t know if he wants either of those things to change, but he knows that his presence in Harry’s life is sporadic at best. Probably best to leave things be.
Or, Louis is a Pony Express rider and Harry runs a station along the trail.

Summary
Lane is a hero tasked with bringing back a certain hero, but we all know that adventures in the fictional world and IRL are never that easy. There's always a series of adventures to complete before the hero achieves his objective. This is a series chronicling what happened to him, his possible girlfriend Rhapsody categorised as a Pony Express, and other characters like a Slutubus ... I mean, Sciencecubus to help them break dimensional barriers. They may need help from the Queen of the Superheroines for their tasks as well though.

Summary
It's the summer of 1860, and the country is on the brink of collapse.
Dean's world crumbled around him just over a year ago, and he's been running from his memories ever since. Now a mail carrier for the Pony Express, he spends his days racing from station to station, delivering the news and slowly losing hope that he'll ever get any of his own.
When Cas Novak, a well-to-do Easterner, hires Dean to guide him into the Nebraska Territory, the last thing Dean expects or wants is to form any sort of friendship with the other man. But their bond only strengthens as the seasons turn and they continually find their way back to one another, slowly falling in love along the way.
Dean's no saint, and Cas carries his own secrets. But, for the first time in over a year, he isn't alone. For the first time since losing his brother, Dean may have found a place to call home.

Summary
The year is 1860. The place, Devil’s Gate outpost, Wyoming. A rider for the newly-created Pony Express mail service tries in vain to control the stamping snorting steed at the end of his reins. With eyes like flame and hooves the size of dinner plates, no one in their right mind would mistake the demonic hell-horse for any sort of a ‘pony’.
Turns out Downstairs had gotten this all wrong again. Crowley didn’t like it one bit.
OR
What might have transpired in the years between the opening of the bookshop and the 1862 holy water discussion had Crowley been sent on a short mission to America? (with art by Ari-C!) -

Summary
In the background of a rising and growing new country, the shadows of the Pony Express Riders fly over the plains. Nobody really knows who they are, nobody really seems to care. They are nothing more than a nameless link from the East to the West. They defy death daily, braving terrible dangers... rushing rivers, craggy mountain passes, icy blizzards, stifling heat, savage beasts, unfriendly natives. It is a thankless job. But one young woman notices the shadow on the plains... and wonders about the man behind the glorious facade of the Pony Express.

Summary
John Sheppard likes nothing better than sitting astride a horse, galloping as fast as he can - it's like flying. Riding for the Pony Express is the perfect job for him. After twelve hours on a horse, though, John wants nothing more than a hot meal and a warm bed. He certainly does not want to have to deal with Rodney McKay, the rude representative of the telegraph company that's threatening to take away his job.
Or, the Stargate Atlantis Pony Express AU.

Summary
"He had expected the Negative Nebula to be the only stop on their voyage, but the one they made first was the most bewildering. It was an area of space that was beyond the star-charts he’d seen, a meteor belt in the midst of nothingness. The spirit led the way as Larry’s mind struggled to come up with a reason as to why they were stopping here, what significance this held. The spirit eventually lands his vessel on a particularly large meteor, right in front of a crashed, deserted ship. Fear immediately takes hold of Larry’s chest as he feels a sort of darkness wash over him, radiating from the grayish mass before them."
