Title: (I Love It When You) Call Me Names
Author: brooklinegirl
Pairing: Ray/Ray
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Why I'm reccing this fic: Well, I could be slightly partial since this was my birthday fic, but there are MANY reasons to love the hell out of this fic. For me, it just KILLS me to see them settling into their life together, the fucking domesticity of it. And that they fight and fuck and have ghosts and it's just so fantastic. YAY.

(I Love It When You) Call Me Names

Title: Uncross Your Heart
Author: minervacat
Pairing: Ray/Ray
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium/long? I don't know!
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because Min totally gets these guys, and how they have all of these THINGS, these people between them. They can't be them without Fraser and Stella sort of being there too. This fic has them drunk and messy and fucked-up, and kind of perfect for each other all at the same time.

Uncross Your Heart

Title: Daytona Beach, FL
Author: china_shop
Pairing: Ray/Ray
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Why I'm reccing this fic: This sort of fits with my obsession with sticking Ray and Ray in Florida together. I kind of love that. But anyway, this fic is about them figuring out how to be together, how to let the people in their lives who are important to them know about how important they are to each other. And it happens to contain my VERY favorite Ray/Ray line EVER. YAY.

What It Is I See In You, Eight Ball, Corner Pocket, 10 Reasons to Hate Ray Kowalski, by Ray Vecchio

Title: What It Is I See In You
Author: Hth
Pairing: Ray/Ray
Rating: NC-17 in parts
Length: Series of vignettes (So...long-ish, if you read them all together.)
Why I'm reccing this fic: When I first started reading Ray/Ray, I have to admit that it was mostly for the dirty, dirty porn. But this series made me a Ray/Ray believer. These guys are real and scarred, and nothing comes easy for them, and man, I really love that. I love that they aren't in a vacuum here, too--Fraser and their families are part of the story:

Title: Eight Ball, Corner Pocket
Author: brooklinegirl
Pairing: Ray/Ray
Rating: PG-13?
Length: Medium
Why I'm reccing this fic: One of the things I like best about Ray/Ray is the ambiguousness of the chemistry between them. They're alike, but also one another's opposites; they kind of hate each other, but they understand each other, too. I love this story for that, and also for its Vecchio, who's hot as hell when he's being this cool:

Title: 10 Reasons To Hate Ray Kowalski, by Raymond Vecchio
Author: china_shop
Pairing: Ray/Ray
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long
Why I'm reccing this fic: This is a brilliant story all on its own. It's completely insane, yeah, but it pulls off a non-linear narrative structure so smoothly you'd think it was easy to mess with time that way and still keep the plot moving forward. Plus, every single character voice is perfect.

But it's brilliant Ray/Ray, too:

admin post: *minor* hiatus

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

darlings: the Ray/Ray challenge is...well, probably off fucking in an alley somewhere. You can find the eight challenge responses here!

and starting now, 12/3, ds_recsredux is going on hiatus until after the holidays. Everyone is stressed and trying to keep up with various challenges, and we here at ds_recredux are going to hold off on putting up new challenges until shortly after the holidays. We will be back with all-new fun challenges, so do not go away!

Meanwhile, the insta-rec deal is still active, so if you see a fic in your travels that desperately needs reccing in the month of December, this is the place to do it!

Many smooches to you all, and we will be back before you know it! ♥
