Why this must be read:
Because this is so wonderfully Ezra!
I have already admitted that I am a Vin-fan, but one of the reasons that Vin is who he is is because the others are who they are - syngery, maybe? Whatever the case, the pairing of Chris and Ezra is the one, to me, that is most diametrically opposed to the Chris/Vin pairing; where Chris and Vin share 'the look' in their first scene together in the pilot ep (the look that most C/V-ers take to mean they have touched souls and know each other already), Chris and Ezra clash from the very first - and it's a clash that remains constant, the two of them wearing at each other in a constant struggle for a sort of - respect, perhaps? Whatever the case, the episode that best shows this struggle is from the second season, "Serpents".
And even if you haven't seen the ep, the general differences in their natures is captured perfectly here in this story. Ryann Blackwood not only captures the rich pattern of Ezra's language and personality, but she also captures the spare hardness of Chris's. The other seven are there as well (not nearly enough Vin, of course, but what's there is delightful), and all nicely drawn.
The story is very new - posted yesterday! - so I'm glad I'm on duty this month so I can rec it!!! A delight!
