Why this must be read:

AU's are the norm in Mag7, the biggest being a modern day ATF setting for the boys. This entire AU started out as a dream sequence almost and expanded to something that has its own canon. I've seen many people read ATF fic that have never seen the show, and have found the episodes only because of the fic.

This piece was my introduction to the Mag7 ATF world and as such I have a real soft spot for it. When I read it I didn't realise that the AU was so huge, but it's a great introduction nonetheless. A lot of fic, both ATF and old west, plays on the distrust between Ezra and the rest of the boys, in this story it's a case of whose word to take. Heather has managed to bring the Old West dynamics across to ATF really well and it's a good rounded story to break you in.
