Why this must be read:
I think most people will agree that one of the best aspects of both the series and its fanfic is the relationship between the seven. While the premise of "War Shorn" is not an unfamiliar one- what happens when one of the seven is presumed dead- the way it is executed here is incredibly well done as the story moves from the team's reaction to Chris' 'death' to the real fear for what Vin might be doing as a result of it.
an excerpt:
Vin was moving on auto-pilot. The only thought in his head was running on a continuous loop: 'Chris is dead.' He saw again the brilliant flash of orange, red, and yellow as the truck exploded and the world as Vin knew it ended. A sob escaped him before he could choke it back down, and Vin held his breath to keep others from doing so, as well. He hadn't felt this kind of pain in a long time, and he realized that he wanted to kill someone. But first, he had to find out who.
