An Exercise In Deception by quietcontrary, PG

[tygermama.livejournal.com]

Hello, I'm tygermama and I will be driving the Magnificent Seven van for September. Most of what I plan to rec this month will be light-hearted, split pretty evenly between the Old West and the ATF verses, but there's also so action and angst that I want to share. I hope you enjoy the recs.

And if you're interested, the crack_van needs more drivers for the Magnificent Seven. It's only a minimum of one rec a week, so please consider grabbing the keys.

Why this must be read:To be completely honest, quietcontrary wrote this fic for me, from the following prompt: Chris has to act Ezra-ish, dressy clothes, impeccable manners, the whole schmear." And she kept Chris and Ezra perfectly in character and gives them both a depth of emotion that you won't expect, given the premise. It's just plain funny.

Excerpt: Diplomacy was all well and good, Chris thought, but brute force was usually more effective - not to mention a hell of a lot more fun."

And I still think Nathan was in on the whole thing, but you be the judge.
