"In Black" by NotTasha (PG-13)
And here's the second of the two fics I wanted to rec while I still had the chance:
Fandom: The Magnificent Seven
Pairings: None (I interpret it as onesided E/C...but I interpret most things that way)
Length: ~20K
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author's Website: NotTasha's Land of Mayhem and Magnificent Seven Fanfiction
Why This Must Be Read:
Saying that this fic features a depiction of Chris and Ezra which is perfectly in-character to the point of turning another writer green with envy is like calling the Sahara a little on the warm side. You could almost believe this is a missing piece of canon.
Chris and Ezra are in the town of Tierra Negra on unrelated errands when Ezra overhears some local hotheads planning to shoot Chris for the fame that killing a notorious gunslinger would bring. Rather than allow things to go that far and risk Chris getting hurt, Ezra pretends to be Chris and scares the natives off.
Unfortunately for Ezra, however, a rather more dangerous individual witnesses his little charade. Someone who doesn't think twice about gunning a man down in the street...
A wonderfully written piece, with Ezra being too clever for his own good and the rest of the Seven furious and vengeful: winner of the 2004 Gold Ezzie Award for Old West Fic (General - Medium). Read. You will not regret it.
Chris looked happy, Ezra thought, happy and proud to escort the mother and child to their destination. It was good to see the black-hearted gunslinger smile, to see him gently but firmly holding onto that boy, to see him look proud and content. He’s earned that, Standish thought. He deserves a good life, after all that sorrow. He looks good in something other than mourning clothes.
Billy seemed pleased as punch, sitting in front of the tall blond gunslinger, and Mary was smiling contentedly, turning often to look at Chris as they rode off. Yes, they look almost like a family, Ezra thought. It was good for all of them really – broken families on the mend.
They all deserved this better life. All three of them needed to be free of their blackness.
