New challenge coming right up, first thing! *collapses*

Enduring Distance, Parental Guidance and Old Lock, New Key

[viciouscats.livejournal.com]

Title: Enduring Distance
Author: cesperanza
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 142K
Why I'm reccing this fic: because every time I read this fic Fraser's breakdown in the court room always makes me want to hug him and go kick in the head everyone who's ever hurt him. So much angst, just pick your favorite: Fraser!angst or Ray!angst. Well, there is humour also. And nice Vecchio. And Stella (not that I'm that much fond of her). And Kowalski-Vecchio bickering. And funny drunk Ray. And Fraser's telling the story of his first love.
That was my obligatory Speranza rec.

Enduring Distance


Title: Parental Guidance
Author: Alanna and Starfish and Kass
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 53K
Why I'm reccing this fic: because, as the summary for this fic says, "sometimes parents really do know best". Ray's mother thinks that Ray and Fraser are dating (which they are actually not doing) and, well, hilarious stuff happens. I'm especially fond of the scene where Fraser tells Ray all the reasons why he (Fraser) thinks that Ray is bisexual.
This story is a classical example of humour in dS fandom.

Parental Guidance


Title: Old Lock, New Key (sequel - Old Shit, New Shovel)
Author: thisisbone
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski, mentions of the past Fraser/Vecchio
Rating: NC-17
Length: 45K and 62K
Why I'm reccing this fic: because I just love this fic! The POV shifts between Fraser and Ray (normally, I don't like it very much, but here it's done beautifully) as Bone describes their first day together. There is angst, Fraser reveals a secret, and thus new friendship and partnership begin.

Admin Post: The Rimming Challenge! You asked for it, you got it!

[justbreathe80.livejournal.com]

So you know what's awesome?

RIMMING.

joandarck suggested it, and WE AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY. So what we want from you, dear reccers, are you very favorite fics involving rimming. You KNOW you are all, right this very minute, thinking of Fraser's talented tongue and how very much Ray (or Ray. Or Mark. Or Hugh. \o/) loves it when he puts it to the best use possible. Or when Ray gets right up in there and shows Fraser a thing or two about the best places to lick.

Come on! Show us the hottest time Fraser licked Ray's ass. You know you want to!

Challenge is open from now through the end of the day Sunday, November 12th. Any suggestions for future challenges, just drop us a comment here. You ask, we provide!

(and REMEMBER, feedback the reccers AND the authors! make this interactive!)

Title: Wedge
Author: resonant8
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: short
Why I'm reccing this fic: When I saw Joan's suggestion of omgRIMMING, this was the very first fic I thought of. It's short, but SCORCHINGLY hot, and just - I love it, because it just captures their relationship: Kowalski all wild and hot for it in bed, and Fraser so desperately wanting to take his time and explore every part of Ray intimately. Ray's reaction to where Fraser puts his tongue kills me. (Also, the image of Ray falling asleep with the water from his shower still drying on his shoulders is a particularly endearing one.)

Want by Estrella

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

Title: Want
Author: estrella30
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Why I'm reccing this fic: I remember when Estrella first told me that she wanted Ray to lick down Fraser's back by increments until he was down between his legs and rimming him and making Fraser lose his mind. I APPROVED of this whole endeavor, and it's STILL one of the most memorable rimming scenes in my head. I love the need here, and how much Fraser loves Ray and wants Ray and gets lost in it, to the point where he can't quite say it.

Estrella sets the scene beautifully, you feel like you're there when you read it. I remember not being able to quite catch my breath the first time I read it. And just - I love that it's not a first time, but things aren't fully established between them either, and it's just this - it's this great moment in their relationship.

Lick It

[slidellra.livejournal.com]

Title: Lick It
Author: geekwriter143
Pairing: F/K
Rating: NC-17
Length: 1377 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: It's scorchingly hot, it's funny, and it has that wonderfully heart-twisty touch of sweetness. It has it all, including something like four of my favorite lines of all time. In one little PWP. Wow.

Closet

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

Title: Closet
Author: lalejandra
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: longish
Why I'm reccing this fic: Fraser spends a lot of time in closets. There is a LOT of sex. For example: Ray blows Fraser, then rims him until he's begging for it, then fucks him until neither of them can think straight. It's the best thing EVER. They love each other so much in this fic that it makes my heart ache. Also, Ray watches Star Trek. I just. ♥
