Title: More Than I Wanted (Just What I Needed)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] spuffyduds
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 2,250 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Fraser and Ray accidentally fall into a casual sexual relationship, which Fraser thinks is what he's wanted all along, but there's something about it that's confusing him. After every encounter he seems to end up outside on the sidewalk not entirely sure how he got there. But why is it a problem, really? It's delightful watching Fraser work through it and come up with a (porntastically satisfying!) solution.

Frankly, this one works for the Bust a Gut Challenge, too--there are Fraser-ish phrases, Dief conversations and tyrannosaurus arms that make me laugh out loud! (I'm not explaining that one--just go read it. :-)


When he had allowed himself to fantasize about a--more intimate relationship with Ray, he had never pictured something explicitly romantic in the way of chocolates and love poems and ornate speechery. That was not Ray, nor was it really him. He’d dreamed up something--akin to what was actually happening, in that the sex was simply folded into their normal relationship; they were partners already, and that would just make it more sweetly so; they wouldn’t need words.

But he has to admit that he’d pictured the sex--differently. Not that Ray was bad, or even mediocre. “It’s just always so--goal-oriented,” he tells Dief, who asks why on earth it should be anything else. “It’s different for wolves,” Fraser says. Patiently.

Title: Mr. Fidgety Meets Mr. Snippy

Why I'm reccing this fic: Ray and Fraser are having one of those stakeouts where Ray's fidgety and Fraser's snippy, until Fraser snaps and "relieves the tension." And Ray freaks. Pir8fancier writes a truly outstanding Ray voice, as he works through his sexuality, his marriage, his theories on Dief, and other assorted thoughts. This is a WIP--five chapters done out of an anticipated six, but each chapter is so densely packed with good characterization that I don't think it suffers from lack of completion.


Up until last night, Ray would have gone to the fucking bank that Fraser was straight. Or at least neuter, except for that Victoria thing. Which Ray didn't want to think about too heavily because it might be a bucket for the straight team, but it was also a three-pointer in overtime for the psycho team.

In addition to Ray not being sure what he was, fuck it if he could now say what in the hell Fraser was. Acting like giving your partner a hand job was about on par with telling him he had spinach in his teeth. Which wasn't gay or straight per se so much as fucking weird. Or neuter.

Three hours later he was still under the covers, still clueless about what had happened, with the added bonus that his dick was now screaming, "I got the fidgets and that nice Mountie with the happy hands can come over and play anytime."

Which was gay. Yep. Gay.

Title: An Admirable Solution

Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17

Why I'm reccing this fic: This is another fic that starts with a little something on a stakeout. This time both Ray and Fraser are comfortable with their bisexuality, and it's Fraser's emotional inexperience that keeps them from going further than their casual arrangement, that and society's general homophobia. Speranza, as always, writes a fantastic Ray POV.


Things were perfect. More perfect than perfect. Fraser was happy, he was happy&emdash;so what was the problem? That they were too happy?

Yeah. Ray blinked up at the moldering old gym ceiling and knew that, dumb as it sounded, that was actually it. Fraser was happy&emdash;and of course Fraser was happy: Ray wasn't going to hurt him or betray him or punch him in the face. He wasn't going to spread any rumors or burn down his house or fuck him without lube at the airport.

He was the obvious choice. He was the only choice, really. "Looking for a sensible and discreet fuck? Why not try your partner? He's a floor wax and a breakfast cereal. Hey, you're stuck with him, why not fuck him?"

He had to face it: Fraser's expectations for this were practically nil. All Fraser wanted was sex on a semi-regular basis with someone who wouldn't beat him up or damage his career&emdash;much. And Ray could do that, Ray could be that, sure&emdash;but goddamn it, he could be so much more if Fraser would just fuckin' let him.
