Claim: Stargate Atlantis: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Title: Rave Atlantis
Author: smitty and reccea ([livejournal.com profile] smittywing and [livejournal.com profile] reccea)
Characters: Sheppard/Cadman, McKay/Cadman, Sheppard/McKay implied
Prompt:35 - Threesome
Rating: Mature
Length: short for individual vignettes, medium overall
Brief summary: This is a twisty little threesome that started as a one-shot short, about the 'club' set up in one of the forgotten rooms of Atlantis, where nothing is asked and no questions are answered, where the beat of the music pounds into blood with a pull that's almost stronger than sex. In a way, it's a conduit story, with Cadman acting as the fulcrum for the two men, but it's the lush sensual nature of the vignettes that really has me entranced.

Claim: due South, Fraser/Kowalski
Title: Some Strange Prophecy
Author: Speranza, on LJ [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza
Characters: Fraser, Ray, Victoria, Vecchio, various random chicks
Prompt: 34. Vacation
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary: This is my last (gasp!) Speranza for this challenge. This is a wonderful, long fic, and is yet another example of Speranza's fantastic writing and superb characterization. Victoria is finally arrested (again), and Fraser is called to come to Atlanta to pick her out of a lineup. Vecchio calls Ray from Vegas to tell him to keep on eye on Fraser because of Victoria's propensity to control him. After seeing Victoria, Fraser kind of loses it and decides to go on vacation and have sex with a number of people, including Ray. This includes the requisite crazy situations that mark the show and Speranza's stories, and it's disturbingly hot and fun to watch Fraser lose control and go with his instincts.

Title: Baresark
Author: Laura Jacquez Valentine, on LJ [livejournal.com profile] jacquez
Characters: Fraser, Ray, Stella, etc.
Prompt: 20. Fight
Rating: PG
Length: medium
Brief summary: I really am kind of in love with the absolutely perfect Ray voice and tone that is set in this piece. It starts with Ray realizing that he likes when Fraser loses it when he gets angry. I'm not even really sure if this is about something per se, it's more of a character study, and how Ray and Fraser come together despite their own pasts and idiosyncrasies, and getting underneath the defenses, literally and figuratively. I think that Laura's writing is just superb. Not one word wasted.

Title: Potluck
Author: Resonant, on LJ [livejournal.com profile] resonant8
Characters: Fraser, Ray
Prompt: 42. Holiday
Rating: G
Length: short
Brief summary: This is a tiny little fic, where Ray and Fraser spend a holiday together in the Consulate kitchen. There's not much to say about the plot because this fic is so short, so you can discover it quickly yourself. I love Resonant's writing and how much she did with this. And I especially love the idea of Fraser and Ray, being cops, and eating a frittata in the Consulate kitchen together in the middle of the night, when normal people are asleep.
