How could one resist? Eric Close in two compelling roles. That face... two men. Whew! In this set of stories, the ATF version of Vin Tanner comes face to face with Martin Fitzgerald of Without a Trace. I have a lot of stories in mind, beginning with a couple of closely linked stories setting up the premise of this particular ATF/WaT crossover universe.

For me, this crossover was a given. It also allowed me to indulge in one of my favorite fan fiction obsessions--building histories for favorite characters. Those who have read my Stargate fiction know how obsessed I've been with Daniel Jackson's background. Well, here's the beginning of my similar obsession with Vin Tanner's life ;^) I'm ever so grateful to the Powers that Be for giving us little shadows of his background, but leaving the filling in of all the blanks deliciously up to us fans. And, of course, ATF is a whole new kettle of fish. I get to obsess over Vin's life in *two* universes LOL!

As a closing note here, let me acknowledge and give heartfelt thanks to MOG, who is responsible for taking our Wild West Seven and reinventing them in modern guise as Team Seven of the AFT. Thanks, MOG. What a brilliant idea! And then you invited all of us to jump into the pool and play :^)
