Hurt by Mel (PG)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: None
Length: ~10,000 words
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Welcome To Stonehaven
Why this must be read:
Nettie Wells was only in one episode of The Magnificent Seven, but Anne Haney's portrayal of the stalwart pioneer was magnetic, and Nettie is a fan favorite. Her relationship with Vin Tanner in particular is a fanfic staple.
In this story, set in the present day, Mel, who excels at h/c, examines how Nettie's decline and death might affect Vin. As you might imagine, he doesn't take it well.
A taste:
It didn’t hurt.
Four years ago, January 2nd, four years ago, Nettie was diagnosed. Three arteries in her heart completely blocked, and the fourth one looking mighty puny. Six months, the doctor said. He talked like maybe he learned at doctor school that if you never change the pitch of your voice, nobody’ll get upset.
So in the same tone of voice you might tell somebody in public that their fly is open, he told us Nettie had maybe six months to live. Heart was too weak for bypass, it’d gone on too long now. Doctor was surprised she wasn’t in a lot of pain, only short of breath. Said we could go see her, soon as they took her to her room. Casey had to go to the ladies room twice to fix her make up from where she was crying before we went to see Nettie. Saw JD’s eyes fill up too, and his voice shook when he talked about having to call the others. I just pushed it all away from me and got a can of Pepsi out of the machine.
It didn’t hurt.
