Challenge: You Make Me Feel Like Dancing

[dessert-first.livejournal.com]

It's the dancing challenge! Whether it's the smooth waltz or the horizontal mambo, let's bring on the fanworks where characters move to the beat. Dancing is a celebration of life, and we want you to serve it up Due South style!

You have until next Monday to rec the night away...

Dance vids!

mayatawi's Dance Song 97 (http://mayatawi.livejournal.com/574942.html) A Fraser/Kowalski get-together vid, with great use of Kowalski's kinetic energy. When you feel your body shake...

marycrawford's Improper Dancing (http://marycrawford.livejournal.com/171475.html) This vid is multi-fandom to the power of multi, and due South is not a huge part of it? But since the due South clips include Vecchio dancing through the forest with Fraser over his shoulder, I think it fits the challenge.

I love Improper Dancing! And Dance Song 97 is good, as I recall, but I haven't watched in in quite a while. Time for a refresher!

One of my favourite fics is bertybertle's Break Step On Two (http://www.origin.popullus.net/ds-breakstep.php) (NC-17, F/K, longish.) It starts with RayK as an impromptu dancing teacher for Welsh. The yumminess comes to the foreground once RayK asks Fraser to help him teach Welsh how to move on the dance floor. ;)

Okay, the other reccers have reminded me of some dancing fics I am particularly fond of.

Moves (http://llassah.livejournal.com/30013.html) by llasah
Undercover in a gay bar is a trope for a reason. Undercover as a pole dancer? Solid. Gold. Completed with some scorching sex, of course.
"Remind me again why I’m not gonna kick you in the head," Ray said for the fifth time, looking up at the stage in the empty club.

"Well, for one, I had no idea that you were that flexible-"

Short. Sweet. Hot. What more could you want?


Smooth (http://www.mrks.org/~bone/duesouth/standalone/smooth.html), by Bone
After being unfortunately compared to a block of wood in "Mountie Sings the Blues," Fraser reflects on the matter. And asks for a little help from his friend.
