Sky Marshals: Flight 1412 by Debby Gerl (PG13)
Title: Sky Marshals: Flight 1412
Fandom: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: None
Author On LJ: Not that I know of.
Author Website: Debby's Bit Of Fiction
Why this must be read:
So, now that I'm scrambling to catch up in my recs (and finding a good chunk of the stories I'm trying to rec MIA) I had to include this one. As I said in the overview, the Magnificent Seven is unlike most fandoms in that it easily fits a lot of AUs and a lot of Authors have come up with some very ingenious AUs. Debby, with her Sky Marshals AU came up with an excellent one. Prior to 9/11, little was know about the branch of the US Marshals known as the "Air Marshals". We knew in the loosest sense that they existed, that they were undercover marshals who would board planes threatened or potentially threatened and act in whatever manner needed to protect the passengers. The Marshals preferred to stay low key and would have if not for 9/11. In the years since we've found out more but before that, Debby Gerl started writing an alternate universe wherein the Seven were, you guessed it, federal air marshals. I have always been fascinated by such branchs of law enforcement but especially this one. The trust placed in the hands of these men and women is enormous. They board planes with loaded weapons (granted those weapons are loaded with bullets that are specially designed for the job but...) and are tasked with apprehending anyone who threatens the safety of a flight. Even now they try to keep their practices low key and off the radar so as not to alert people. Which invites speculation. Debby speculates wonderfully in this story. She, like so many other authors, creates a world which the Seven easily function in and seem at home in. It's a treat to read to see the Seven in this world and the subsquent stories featuring this world? Definitely what you want to check out.
