Hallelujah by Sue N (NC-17)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: Chris/Vin
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Sue N's Adult Stories
Why this must be read: Sue N is an absolute master of the adult h/c fic and the first author I go to when I'm in need of some warm C/V fuzzies. In many of her stories Vin is physically hurt and Chris takes care of him, but in this story (inspired by Leonard Cohen's song of the same name) the twist is that after the events of Obsession, Vin is emotionally hurt and it's Chris who has inflicted the pain - and he's the only one who can take it away.
He’d thought … he’d hoped … Larabee had given him reason to hope so many times and in so many ways. Chris actually seemed to need him, to crave his nearness and feel his warmth. The man seemed possessed by the need to touch him, a strong arm draping easily about his shoulders, a firm hand gripping his shoulder or resting against his back, long fingers curving about his forearm in the clasp that was theirs alone. The touch of flesh to flesh that had caught up Vin’s soul and bound it to Chris’s.
He’d never had that before, had never known it was possible. Never had anyone who seemed another part of himself. He and Chris seemed to move and think as one, to understand each other in ways so profound it sometimes scared him. Josiah called it a “communion of souls” and said it was something near sacred. And, in truth, there were times that Vin could almost swear he felt the Spirits moving with them, through them, could almost hear that whispered prayer rising from and wrapping about them both.
Only now the Spirits were gone, and the prayer was broken. Shattered and finally silenced by Ella Gaines.
Hallelujah
