Tea and sympathy by J Brooks (PG)
Fandom: Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Gen. Nathan, Mary, Ezra
Length: 3205
Why this must be read: Once a week Nathan and Mary meet in order to write the 'sick list' for the newspaper. What's less well known however, is that Nathan assits with Mary with the gossip column as well. The story starts out with a flashback to a tea party held during Nathan's childhood. The contrast between that party and the present one with he and Mary really sets the scene. The friendship between the two unlikely allies shines through as does their easy acceptance of Ezra's sudden appearance. The author depicts the friendliness between the three very well and draws a gentle picture of two outsiders becoming aware of their similarities and their place in the local society.
Excerpt These teas began not long after Nathan first decided to hang his shingle in Four Corners. In the first three frustrating weeks, he had exactly one customer -- Yosemite the livery owner, kicked by a horse practically on his clinic doorstep. Nathan had been sitting in the clinic one afternoon, rearranging implements and re-wrapping bandages, when Mary Travis arrived at his door with a sprained wrist and an invitation to tea.
