The Winning Side by NotTasha (PG)
Fandom: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Nathan, Ezra friendship
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: NotTasha
Why this must be read:
This is the first story in a series, A Game of Chess, that explores the often strained friendship between the gambler and the healer. It's wonderful set of stories that shines the spotlight on Nathan, an often overlooked character in this fandom.
Nathan rubbed his hands together, embarrassed and concerned as he watched Ezra scrutinize the pieces. “I just thought, since the wood was dark…” Jackson didn’t know how to go about explaining why he made the black pieces they way he did. It was ridiculous really. He’d never seen anyone carve African features on a chess piece. He’d never seen a representation of someone of his race that didn’t include rolling eyes, fat lips and a wide toothy grin. He’d never seen a realistic portrayal of a black man before he created these pieces. It made him feel more real just to see these images come into being.
