Pairing: Chris/Vin

Why this must be read:
As promised - I give you my personal OTP: Chris/Vin. I can definitely see other pairings - Chris/Buck being the big other one I can see, and even more so, I can see the triad that's already been rec-ced, The Skip Trace Universe as written by Charlotte C. Hill and Maygra.
But when I came into the fandom as a Vin-lover, Chris and Vin seemed the most 'together' to me - two men with dark pasts that we only see in little pieces here and there, two men who think so very alike that they can share an idea with a look.
Sara_Merry99 was one of the first writers in this fandom I had the great honor and pleasure to get to know, and her writing speaks for itself. She can capture the softer side of these men - a gunslinger and a former bounty-hunter - in eloquent yet concise words and images, her writing spare and elegant. Had I not already been a Vin-lover, I would have fallen in love with him just from her writing, and even if you aren't a C/V-er, her imagery is worthy of the read alone.
She's written a number of things, but this stand-alone is my favorite of hers. It's a beautiful suggestion of Vin's past merged with the newness of his present and blended with the wild violence of the American west. Little humor in this one, but well worth the read.
