A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Red Fork by BMP (G)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: none
Characters: Vin, Buck
Length: 6,526 words
Author on lj: n/a
Author website: BMP's stories on AO3
Why this must be read: Aside from the lovely writing and characterizations, I like this one for the early-series feel. It's from Vin's pov, and Vin's pov on other members of the seven is always fascinating. He's a character who knows what he thinks but doesn't go around saying it all the time, so it's often revealing to be inside his head. In this case, he's been landed with accompanying Buck on a messenger mission he doesn't much appreciate, and just because he knows by now that he trusts his new compadres, it doesn't mean travelling in close proximity will be a pleasure.
It's a warm, humorous and insightful read; by the time we have followed Vin to Red Fork and back to Four Corners we have got to know Vin, Buck, and also Chris that little bit better. And been treated to a wonderful slice of old west.
But just as Vin took hold of the reins to turn up the street, that crazy kind of smirk lit on Larabee's face. He nodded once at Wilmington's back, heading toward the end of town. "Have a good trip," Larabee said, and grinned a grin that seemed far more amused than was warranted.
