New Mag 7 fic

Nov 14, 2005 08:42

The Silver Moon is here. It's about 5,500 words, Chris and Vin (duh), Old West. Thanks to feochadn for the looksee. To those of you who got excited about a new Mag 7 story, really, really don't. This thing is so slight and wispy that it would blow away in a light breeze. It's kind of a what-if AU, similar to Cold Enough to Snow, in that it's set outside ( Read more... )

I'm only partway through and completely enamoured. I love love love this: "Odds hardly seemed fair."

This almost makes up for the stupid crazy boss being back!

::runs back to reading:: (Hey! I'm on lunch. Sort of. Technically...)

Hope you enjoyed the rest!

Oh, Gwyn, I love this. Really. It does have that same lyrical, easy-amble-to-the-heart-of-the-story feel that Cold Enough to Snow has. I know them, and I recognize them -- they are only one half step back from the men we meet and yet still very much the same. It's a great "what if" they'd met six months or a year earlier.

This is really, really lovely.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I felt like it was more of a slow amble to nothingness, so I'm glad that people feel like it wasn't. Maybe I've just been so embroiled in plot-heavy fic for Buffy and F&F that it was hard to see anything in something that short and quiet.

oh, I loved this! it's so very *them*

the unfolding of their story through Chris' recovery and their gradually developing closeness was beautiful. as Maygra said, lyrical!

Thank you! I miss my cowboys so much, but I'm thrilled that the DVDs of first season will be coming soon. Maybe it will inspire more fic!

Y'know how much I wanted to read this? When my first bus blew away from the stop ahead of schedule, I used my extra time to fire up my laptop on a picnic table and finish reading it. I'm usually not so attached to things that I pull out my laptop at a bus stop.

It may be a little thing, but sometimes little things are worth a lot. Think of how much people spend on a caret of diamond. This absolutely meets your normal standard of writing, imo -- it's a jewel that has quickly joined the library of work by you that I've treasured every time I go back.

This line is sublime: Goodbyes are not easy; the last look back is the thing that stays with you the most, eats away at your mind, taking over your memories so you can only remember that face as it sends you on your way. It makes my heart ache ( ... )

Well, considering how little I want to write fanfic in anything these days, that may not be a problem once the DVDs come out! Also, with Brokeback Mountain opening mid-December here, I have a feeling I will be in a cowboy state of mind for a long time.
