I have started a new AU for the boys;  and here's the skeleton (very bare bones) of it.  As with any thing I create, its completely open, but if you use my original characters, credit me.  I just like to see my name pop up :)
Riches AU
"Phoenix Ranch";  Home to our boys, located about 15 miles south of Four Corners
The "Young'ins"
John Daniel Dunne, age 7.  Adopted four years ago by the Larabees, JD hates to be called the baby of the family, but he uses his position to his benefit when he wants to.
Vincent Matthew Tanner, age 11.  Adopted at age 8 after spending three years in foster care following his mother's death.  Vin has a wicked sense of humor, usually unleashed with the help of either JD or Ezra.
Ezra Peyton Standish, age 12.  Placed in foster care several months ago after being removed from the home of an abusive guardian, Ezra has spent most of those months with the Larabees.  Extremely intelligent and secretive, Ezra's past remains unknown, even to the Judge who placed him with the Larabees.
The Big Brothers
Nathan King Jackson, age 18.  Adopted nine years ago, Nathan is a senior in high school and an EMT-in-training.  He plans to become a doctor, starting at UC-Boulder next year. 
Randall Bucklin Wilmington, age 23.  Adopted at age 11, Buck is the one of the boys who has always known he'd work the ranch his whole life.  Inveterate ladies' man and charmer, never forgets a face or a story.
Christopher James Larabee, age 24.  The only biological child of their parents, Chris is the unspoken leader of the brothers.  He is a county deputy, after returning from his stint in the Navy two years ago. 
Josiah Ezekiel Sanchez, age 30.  The son of a missionary, Josiah was adopted at 15 by the Larabees.  Now a psychologist, Josiah works at a youth center in Eagle Bend.
The Parents
James C. Larabee - father and rancher, currently runs the family ranch which his great-grandfather bought in the late nineteenth century.
Ellen (Talley) Larabee - mother and accountant.  Two years after giving birth to Chris, she was in a nasty car accident involving a drunk driver.  Internal injuries caused her to be unable to have further children.
