Turtle and Dief, Dief and Turtle

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

This week's turtle recs revolve around Ray's pet, as he was introduced in Spy vs. Spy:

Ray: Fraser, the wolf can't stay here.
Fraser: Why not?
Ray: Because of the. . . uh. . . turtle.
Fraser: Dief has no interest in the turtle.
Ray: The turtle and the wolf are natural enemies, Fraser. Grrr. Fighting and they. . .
Fraser [to Dief]: Stay.
Dief: [bark]
Fraser: Would you lock the door behind us?
Ruth: I'll look after your turtle.

The first time I saw Turtle in fanfic was elementalv's Mortal Enemies, a very short but hilarious take on the canon snippet (Gen). It never fails to make me laugh out loud! But then I do have a special weakness for fics with an animal POV. Another wonderful Turtle POV fic is etcetera_cat's Vibrato, which really captures life as experienced from the aquarium (very mildly Fraser/RayK).

Dief has opinions about Turtle, too. mizface's Natural Enemies takes on their rivalry from Dief's POV (Gen). In abbybanks's Different, Dief cuts Turtle a little slack, as they're both invested in what happens with their humans (very mildly Fraser/RayK).

Finally, there's Stars' latest DS Sekrit Santa fic Freaks & Geeks (To Say Nothing of the Goat) (Fraser/RayK), a slightly angsty, delightfully wacky tale told from multiple points of view, including both a Dief-POV section and a Turtle-POV section. And the household gains a new pet. :-)

Next week, RayK and Fraser's relationship, as it intersects with Turtle.
