What is this collection all about? Friendship.In looking for a quote to put on a friend's birthday card I found hundreds of quotes about friendship. Some of them immediately jumped out at me screaming "Hey! I'm a great quote for an M7 ficlet! Use me!". After about the fourth time that happened, I started writing the quotes down.
The stories in this collection - at least the ones I know of so far - are short little ficlets or scenes with the guys. Each ficlet is either inspired by or includes a quote about friendship. Wherever possible, I have tried to confirm that the person listed is, in fact, the person who said this quote. I can not vouch for the validity of all of these since it is possible someone else said it first. I'm just going by what I found.
Since these quotes are varied and cover a large span of time, I have not limited myself to one universe. Some of these ficlets occur in the Old West and some in the ATF universe. There are a few that suggested themselves to me as Little Britches fics, so you may see some of those as well. I also decided not to limit myself to the Old West for this collection because some of these quotes weren't said until well after the time period associated with the show.
