Holy. Fucking. God. The Serpent's Tooth, by Eleanor Tramaine. Go. Read. Now. It may be the best use of the Civil War in a Mag7 fic ever (cetainly the best I've seen yet). Quick synposis: Ezra. Snakebite. Flashbacks. Fredericksburg. *huggles the correct grammar and historical accuracy* The bit about the boots made my blood run cold.
Also, After the Dust has Cleared by Becky, which my be my favourite longish OuaTiM fic so far. Good dialogue, lovely dynamic between El & Sands, and it's got the FBI guy (Ramirez?) in it!
And for any Richard Sharp fans out there: "Sharpe's Gator, by Alan Kempner, found here. It reads just like one of the novels. The ba guy is every bit the sort of 100% evil, has-a-personal-vedatta-against-Sharpe villain one would expect from a Sharpe book, and the Frederickson and Sharpe interaction was great. The writer obviously did a great deal of research for this fic, judging by the detailed descriptions of the battles, terrain, and historical figures involved. Sharpe, in his classic style, meets famous people, sleeps with attractive women, and kicks arse. The only flaw I could find in the story was the unfortunate lack of Patrick Harper (that and the writer's tendency toward long monologues).
