Title: The Frontier Cadence series
Author: manic_intent
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Goodnight Robicheaux/Billy Rocks; Joshua Faraday/Vasquez
Rating: Mature - Explicit [R - NC-17]
Word Count: 13,193
Summary: The revelation that he was in fact alive and in one piece came as a total surprise to Josh Faraday. Granted, this wasn’t in fact his first rodeo with certain-but-then-thwarted death, and as such, Faraday stared muzzily in a semi-drugged daze at the cracked ceiling for a long and puzzled moment before panic set in. He groped downwards. Nope. Dick still intact. Faraday relaxed. “It absolutely goddamned figured,” Goodnight said dryly somewhere to his left, “that you’d be worried about that first before everythin’ else.”

Recommendation: This was so great, but then I have a really weakness for the prose of manic_intent. I really do. It’s not really told in a linear fashion but it fills in so beautifully. Goody and Billy are so wonderful and married, while Faraday and Vasquez are wild, good fun.

Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Joshua Faraday/Vasquez
Rating: Teen [PG]

Recommendation: Groundhog Day! I just can’t say no. Just keep going until you get it right.

Title: You Push, I Push Back
Author: Hazel_Athena
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Joshua Faraday/Vasquez
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 33,899
Summary: He’s nine years old when the words Oh good, we got us a Mexican appear curled around his left bicep, and his mama bursts into tears at the sight of them.

Recommendation: If I was Vasquez’s mama, I’d have cried too. It doesn’t sound like the start of a great romance. And truthfully it doesn’t start out so great, but they eventually get their shit together.

Title: Trust Falls and Probability Exercises
Author: kittykatthetacodemon
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Joshua Faraday/Vasquez
Rating: Not Rated
Word Count: 57,403
Summary: “Immediately, he realized that his hands were tied together in front of him, with barely an inch of give to the rope, and that there was a lingering pain that suggested he had been hit hard on the back of the head. It matched nicely with the throbbing ache in his leg, one that didn’t fade even when he managed to straighten it underneath him. More importantly, his guns, belt, hat, and cards were all gone. Great. Fantastic. Someone was definitely going to get shot for this.” Or, a post-canon AU where nobody died and also they have superpowers.

Recommendation: Everybody has superpowers! Well almost everybody but it all still set in the wild old west. Which is awesome. You should probably start with the first in the series, Look at My Hands, Don’t Look at My Hands, just to understand how everybody’s powers work and how that changes the outcome of the movie, but what I really liked about this story was that it was a whole new adventure for the seven. Well that and the growing relationship between Faraday and Vasquez too.

Title: This Night Ain't for the Holy Man
Author: ThrillingDetectiveTales
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Joshua Faraday/Vasquez
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 5,578
Summary: If it had just been the once, Faraday thought a little desperately, they could have shrugged it off as a drunken mistake - Lord knew they’d both been fairly well corned that night, riding high on the success of their grand entry into town. Twice even, and they might have managed it. Yet here he was for the fifth or sixth time in half as many days, sprawled on his back across one of mattresses upstairs in the Imperial with Vasquez between his legs while the saloon rolled merrily on below.

Recommendation: This is porn. But it is porn with research! Which is the best kind.

Title: Cowboys
Author: SnubbingApollo
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Joshua Faraday/Vasquez
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 1,106
Summary: It’s cold in the room they’ve rented for the night, and Vasquez is very warm. And handsome, not that Faraday would admit it if he was asked. And Faraday’s heard stories.

Recommendation: I can’t tell how much I love that Vasquez calls Faraday guero, which is basically calling him blondie. It can be derisive if said meanly but is not derogatory. So there’s already pet names, which again, so cute.

Title: Foreign Tongues
Author: ThrillingDetectiveTales
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Joshua Faraday/Vasquez
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 1,224
Summary: Jack, who still had the devil in him most days and didn’t appreciate suddenly having a rider who wouldn’t let him stretch his legs, pawed at the dirt a little. He turned his big, wet eyes on Josh and asked, ears twitching, “Why are we crossing this hot, dry desert?” Josh blinked. “Excuse me?” It was a fine question, excepting that it had come from a horse.

Recommendation: So once I’d finished goggling at how married Goody and Billy were, I became aware of how “pulling at pigtails” Faraday and Vasquez had ended up. This was my first story about them and hereafter my headcanon for Vasquez’s given name will always be Eduardo.

Title: Binary System Blues
Author: 28ghosts
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Goodnight Robicheaux/Billy Rocks
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 9,536
Summary: He wakes up to the harsh red Mars sun through the window and Billy reclining in the room’s one pathetic armchair. Goodnight isn’t sure if the other man’s slept. Billy says, glancing up from his data pad, “You’re really Goodnight Robicheaux.” Or, the space bounty hunter AU no one asked for.

Recommendation: Cowboy Bebop fusion, for the win. ‘Cause space cowboys are the best and don’t these two translate in character so very well.

Title: Be Not Wanting
Author: matchsticks_p
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Goodnight Robicheaux/Billy Rocks
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 2,009
Summary: “Alright, that’s it,” Faraday shouts, no longer able to contain himself at the sight of Goodnight removing his jacket to put over Billy’s shoulders. “How did you ever get away with pretending he’s your servant?!”

Recommendation: Goody is totally the type to lavish good Southern manners on any paramour regardless of gender. Billy is the sort to suffer in silence, but not really.

Title: Nine Guns
Author: LittleLynn
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Goodnight Robicheaux/Billy Rocks
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 9,030
Summary: Goodnight liked to say that they met in a bar fight, that he watched Billy take down a gang or sometimes even the whole bar with a single knife or just his hairpin or naught but his two hands. The story changed a little each time he told it. It was never how it actually happened, but it was how Goodnight liked to tell it, so Billy never amended it. He knew why Goodnight didn’t like to tell it how it had been. They both did. But if Goodnight needed to pretend something else, if that helped him to cope, then Billy sure as hell wasn’t going to remind him of something different. There had been a bar fight, at least.

Recommendation: Oh man, this is so awesome. This PTSD suffering confederate and his Korean husband give me all the feels even when they’ve just met. Does it count as a meet cute if there are guns and the threat of violence? With these two I expect so.

Title: Breathe
Author: LittleLynn
Canon: The Magnificent Seven
Pairing: Goodnight Robicheaux/Billy Rocks
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 4,476
Summary: The chatter around the table continued but Billy wasn’t paying attention to it, instead focused on the way Goody’s shoulders slowly relaxed and his hand went back to tracing patterns on Billy’s back, the lines in his face smoothing out again. Billy gave Goody a private little smile as Goody held the cigarette to Billy’s lips, holding it steady as Billy took a long drag, lips almost pressed to his fingers, leaning into each other’s space.

Recommendation: Married. Oh so very married, and I just loved these two in the movie. The cigarette sharing scene in the movie felt intimate as it was, but this just ramps things up to another level. A good, hot level.
