Just Words by JIN (PG-13)
Fandom: Magnificent 7
Pairing: It's gen, but very focused on the friendship and love between Chris and Vin
Author on LJ: well, yes, but - I'm honestly not sure.
Author website: Most of her Magnificent 7 stories are at Blackraptor
Why this must be read:
JIN is one of the most subtle and emotive riders in the fandom - but oddly, one of the lesser known. In September of this past year, the_hobbet rec-ced one of my favorite stories by her, "Not a Love Story", which is set in the ATF-verse. But to me, not only does she write the complexity of the Chris-Vin relationship, she writes it best in my favorite setting, The Old West.
And more amazingly, at least as far as my preferences are concerned, she writes gen that I just adore. She also writes adult - and she recently wrote a wonderful piece called "Heat of the Moment" that is posted on Blackraptor Adult, which I won't give the link to here as the webkeeper has asked it not to be posted (go to Blackraptor itself and click on the link for getting the adult stories; you have to e-mail an age statement but the webkeeper will e-mail you back the link. She's usually very quick and she's one of the most awesome archive-handlers I've ever had the pleasure to deal with). JIN manages to convey the subtlety of the two men - both of whom are taciturn by nature and experience - yet also the depth of their affection for each other, in every thing she writes. In this particular piece she plays on one of the fandom's fanons, the fact that Chris and Vin do speak little, their actions saying more than words.
But sometimes, as this story suggests, things need to be said to be known. And know that while I link you to this one story, her others are equally as wonderful.

You did a great job of setting the story up here.
