Prompt: Trapped
Rating: PG-13
Length: medium
Brief summary: This is a brilliantly successful "attempt to decipher bits of Glinda's characterization" that fits effortlessly into the canon. The depiction of Elphaba is pitch-perfect as well. So much of it I love, but the last paragraph absolutely kills me.

I love you without knowing how, The Contents of a Small Box Stored in a Large Trunk in a Yukon Cabin

Title: I love you without knowing how
Author: china shop, on LJ china_shop
Characters: Fraser, Ray
Prompt: 38. Kiss
Rating: PG-13
Length: medium
Brief summary: China shop is one of my very favorite dS writers. This is a really lovely fic, among her many. Fraser and Ray are in Canada together, and Ray is frustrated because he doesn't have any of his own money to buy Fraser a birthday present. Fraser asks for kisses, and Ray delivers, along with a host of other imaginary gifts. There is so much Fraser wants to say that he doesn't have language for, it's almost heartbreaking. Gorgeous and abolutely true to character, for both Fraser and Ray.

Prompt: 40. Confession
Rating: G
Length: medium
Brief summary: I confess a weakness for Ray-in-Chicago-Fraser-in-Canada-post-COTW-letter-writing fic. There are a bunch of fics that meet those criteria in the fandom. This is definitely one of the standouts. It's told completely in letters. Our boys are having trouble saying what they really mean and communicating with each other, because neither of them is saying what they really want to say...until the end. Pearl is an excellent writer, I love pretty much everything she's ever written.
