A Prayer For the Seven by: atolar (PG13)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (OLD WEST)
Pairing: Gen
Length: One-shot
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: More Here
Why this must be read: This is told from the perspective of a wonderfully in character Josiah. "A Prayer For The Seven" draws on many events some of which happened in the series others that were only mentioned in passing and even some that were not seen but may as well have been. Josiah's prayer somehow manages to be funny in some places, serious in others and both in a few more. It really does make you stop and wonder if the seven do have someone looking after them.
He had decided on his penance. He was going to spend Thanksgiving Day alone, praying for forgiveness for the drunken spectacle he had pulled the week before, and trying to think of somebody else for a change. A day of fasting and penance on the national day of gluttony was just the thing... nobody would miss him anyway.
Well, now he had to also pray for forgiveness for the sin of self-pity.
Josiah knelt at the alter in his roughest shirt. He smote himself on the shoulders, not too hard and not too much, and thought about what he should ask of the Lord. Quiet, letting his thoughts wander at will, he began to pray.
