Claim: due South, Fraser/Kowalski
Title: A Fine Romance
Author: Sihaya Black and Chickwriter
Characters: Fraser, Ray, the gang
Prompt: 30. Seduction
Rating: NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary: This was one of the very first due South fics I read. I love fics where one of the guys is completely clueless. Ray thinks that Fraser is “courting” a girl Mountie in town for a conference but he is so very very wrong. I love Ray in this, so paranoid and so devastated because he thinks he’s going to lose Fraser, and I love romantic!Fraser.

Claim: due South, Fraser/Kowalski
Title: Northwest Passage
Author: Crysothemis, on LJ crysothemis
Characters: Fraser, Ray
Prompt: 28. Dream
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: This is a post-COTW fic that starts with Ray having a…umm…wet dream about Fraser, that Fraser misunderstands. A whole lot of misunderstanding and hotness ensues. Ray realizes that he wants to BE with Fraser, but the two just can’t seem to communicate. I admit a very large soft spot for post-COTW Ray and Fraser in zipped together sleeping bags and snuggling fic, because it so easily lends itself to Ray and Fraser in zipped together sleeping bags having SEX. So, yeah.

Claim: Stargate Atlantis: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Title: An Asthetic Solitary Thing
Author: Anna (eliade)
Characters: Sheppard/McKay and some others
Prompt: 31 - Discovery
Rating: Mature
Length: Long
Brief summary: In this story, Rodney is discovered to be not entirely human, and that discovery drives the rest of the story. In it, I love how Anna takes the wacky and make it utterly real. There's great description and emotional intensity, vivid language, and wonderful character voice. Her style just draws me in:

[The Tower's View] [Similar But Not the Same]

[akusai.livejournal.com]

Claim: BLEACH, series
Title: The Tower's View
Author: Lakewood
Characters: Rukia, Ichigo, Renji
Prompt: 09. Hurt/Comfort
Rating: PG
Length: Long - 4000+
Brief summary: From the tower's view, there wasn't much she couldn't see. In life, it isn't what we see before us that troubles us. It is what we don't see that we know should be there. Sad, intense "missing scene" type of take at some of the events in the Soul Society arc.

Claim: BLEACH, series
Title: Similar But Not the Same
Author: Triste (laliho)
Characters: Ukitake/Ichigo
Prompt: 10. Fandom Cliche
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Kaien's resemblance to Ichigo and the possible reincarnation thingy tend to float over fandom. This story uses it for a nice insight into them (the three of them, actually) from Ukitake's POV.

Drifting, Okay All Right

My table

Claim: due South, Fraser/Kowalski
Title: Drifting
Author: Starfish and Alanna, on LJ the_star_fish
Characters: Fraser, Ray
Prompt: 08. Friendship
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: I had a really hard time coming up with a friendship story, because everyone I came up with pretty much had lots and lots of sex in it, and not so much with the friendship. This one has the sex, but it also has a very special Ray and Fraser want to do it kind of friendship. Fraser is restless because he feels frustrated by his job at the Consulate, and calls his friend Ray for help. Ray helps. Yes, yes he does.
Oh yeah.

Title: Okay All Right
Author: Verushka
Characters: Fraser, Ray
Prompt: 17. Jealousy
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: This story is the first in a series about Ray and Fraser exploring BDSM. Fraser gets jealous of Ray’s interaction with another man and loses his control a bit. This story is unbelievably hot, and the control issues that Fraser is dealing with are very real. Not to mention that alpha!Fraser/dominant!Fraser pretty much lights the screen on fire every time, at least for me. This story does a really good job of exploring these dynamics in a realistic and hot way.
