The Third Kind is a slash Magnificent Seven anthology. The first issue contains a Search and Rescue story and a Homicide Squad story.
Summary
There are two kinds of people in this life," Ezra explains before the Seven wade into a fight, "those who seek battle and seem not to fear death, and those who avoid battle but will stand and fight to the death if their loved ones are threatened. That is true courage." As he rides away from the upcoming fight, leaving his companions behind, he adds, "Then there's the third kind." In that instance, Ezra might have equated 'the third kind' with 'coward', but he found he couldn't stay away, and returned to stand with his brothers-in-arms. So truly, 'the third kind of people' are those who might take a little longer to decide, but come through in the end. That's Ezra through and through, a smooth talker who would rather dazzle with his tongue than lash out with his fists. A lover, not a fighter. Not unless pushed. [1]

Issue 2
The Third Kind 2 was published in May 2006 and is 136 pages and Ezra-centric.
- Silent Running by VampyrAlex (ATF, Ezra/Vin)
- Excerpt: For an anguished moment Ezra wondered if he had spoken the words aloud or if, as in so many times over the past few weeks, he had merely thought them to himself. The stiffening of the naked body spooned behind him, however, confirmed his suspicions; the damning words were finally out in the open. There would be no turning back.
- Pro Quo by Sophie Moon (Old West AU, Ezra/Vin)
- Excerpt: Who was this man? A practical joker? An imaginative swindler? A messenger from God or the devil perhaps? One thing was certain: he could sell butter to the Danes and make a hefty profit. Definitely good looking, even if his youth was long over. But then, when it came to handsome men, Ezra wasn't too particular about age. Men, mind you, not boys.
- Excerpt: He had never experienced this before - loving someone who was so out of reach it would make the stars seem closer and more accessible than the quiet tracker was.
