RR -- Magnificent Seven

  • Aug. 6th, 2008 at 10:13 AM
So, I'm having a really crappy day so far.  The only bright spot?  Discovering the M7 fandom.  Thus I am taking full advantage of this comm to beg you all for some M7 recs to give me a much-needed boost.  All I ask is that they be complete, at least 10,000 words, and end happily.  Thanks!

Things to keep in mind:
-Recced stories can be any length, any fandom, and any pairing, as long as they fit the theme
-You don't need to write a review (unless you want to).  All that you need to include are title, author, and link to the story (all parts if there are more than one).

That said, have at it!

I don't understand how searching the author's name came up with two different fics and not this one. ::sigh:: Ah well, thanks for the link!!!!

Search engines and I don't have a very good relationship. Thus the downloading of entire archives:)

Man, how do you do that?!

You pick the pairing you want to read (or, in the case of Mag 7, *three* pairings) and then you go link by link and download every. Single. Story individually. No I'm not kidding. No, it wasn't fun (especially since afterwards I went and deleted anything under 50 KB, which was about two-thirds of the stories). I ended up with about 750 files. Hopefully some of them will prove to be interesting:)

Wow. You put a lot of effort into this! Oh, and I figured out where I went wrong looking for that link - they hide the adult side of the site, so I should've realized that a google search wouldn't call up that story. ::silly::

Oh, speaking of, have you gotten to Graven Images by Diamondback yet? It's very good.

Uh, apparently not, since I can't even find it in my Mag 7 folder. Could I get a link again? (Sorry! I seem to have lost a post somewhere.) Thanks!

Also, it was a lot of effort, and it's made me a bit disgruntled. I prefer the sites that at least offer up a bit of a summary or a word count with their stories. At least that way I can do a bit of picking and choosing before downloading. *sigh*

Finally, This Side of Love by The Neon Gang is pretty good. C/V. Lots of h/c. Blackraptor.

Yes, of course! http://blackraptor.net/m7fic-32/xm7fic-32x/graven/images1.htm

Ooh, sounds yummy, thanks!

Okay, now I feel silly -- I did have it, but I was looking for it under Graven, rather than Images (currently at 503 files in the folder -- lot of reading left to do:) You may now pelt me with tomatoes.

Enjoy the fic!

... No, that makes perfect sense. I'm glad you found it, anyway. ^_^

Oh, I'm trying Fractures right now. It deals with the aftermath of rape (no actual rape described) but has a Vin that veers from realistic to melodramatic. Not sure about it yet, but let me know if you want the link should it turn out okay.

As long as the rape is pre-story, I should be okay. (Though I've noticed that blackraptor apparently doesn't consider rape significant enough to warrant the 'may disturb some readers' warning. *sigh*)

Thanks!

Okay, it's kind of ridiculously long and unfinished (but recently updates, so who knows?) but if you want to give it a try:

Thank you!

Random note: I've never seen a fandom that has a whole 'established relationship fic wherein the drama of the story comes from a car accident' subgenre before M7. I swear one out of every five stories uses this plot...

It is rather bizarre ... I'm finding myself at a loss to obtain good first-time fic! The relationships too often seem assumed, or presumed. Hm.

Oh, try this, it's fantastic! Finished, fairly long, fuzzy with a side of h/c ... or h/c with a side of fuzzy. Can't remember:
http://blackraptor.net/m7fic-42/xm7fic-42x/quadrant1.htm

Pretty good, though on the edge of noncon - this is that dubcon stuff you hate (so why am I giving it to you, you ask? I like to share my pain and confusion ...)

This is shorter and a little messed up (it's a series of three so look for the sequels) but mostly kind of awesome:

Thank you, thank you! I feel like I've slacked off with my own recs, but that's mainly because I've had an unfortunate streak lately. Though, have you tried And Yet So Far by Limlaith? Vin/Ezra, bored at a conference. Cute, with bits of angst.

Aw, yeah, that one was cute. ^_^ Hey, good luck in finding rec-able stories!

Thanks!

BTW, you probably saw this already, but I posted a prompt for the Mag 7 story I'd most like to read. Not like anyone reads that comm, but maybe I'll get lucky and someone will stumble on it:)

Man, I'd just like to find some first-time fics! What's wrong with a good, slow build-up to a relationship? And why are most ATF fics established relationship? And does it have anything to do with your car-wreck theory ....

I know! For most fandoms, the vast majority of stories are first time fic, so to encounter a fandom composed of more established relationship fic than first time fic is both baffling and highly annoying. And don't even get me started on the car wrecks...
