Why I'm reccing this fic: sprat already recced this, back in October, but I feel like it needs to be recced for this challenge, too, because the kiss at the beginning - wow. Such a great kiss. An absolutely fabulous kiss, with Ray trying to take it slow and worrying about freaking Fraser out, but trying to kiss him properly all the same. And, well. Fraser certainly finds it inspiring, because then, there is porn. Extremely hot porn. I love, love, love Fraser's intensity in this, how Ray is all "hey, kissing, cool," and Fraser's all "you need to be a whole lot nakeder, like, YESTERDAY." Just - funny and hot and tender and awesome. Perfect.

kisses rec!: Unplanned, by Bethbethbeth

Title:Unplanned
Author: bethbethbeth
Pairing:F/K
Rating: PG13?
Length: Ficlet
Why I'm reccing this fic: I love the idea of this—Ray kisses Fraser, in public, by accident, and it takes him fifteen minutes to figure out why everyone is staring. Because of course it could happen that way: Ray operates on instinct, right? And they really are that close. What a great image, Ray leaning down to kiss Fraser, absentmindedly, like you do with someone you're just that easy with. Warm and wonderful.

Rating: PG-13
Length: Short
Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it was the first fic that came into my head when kisses were mentioned and I spent a good half hour trying to find it again, because it was worth it. This fic is sweet and lovely, an excellent look at how Fraser and Ray might relate to each other. You can really feel just how much Ray and Fraser care about each other.

Why I'm reccing this fic: Because Ray tries so hard to not love Fraser. But he just can't not love him - it's all hurtful and desperate ... and so sweet.

Rating: PG
Length: short
Why I'm reccing this fic: oh, this fic KILLS me. And okay, warning in that it plays on the issues between Fraser and Vecchio in the past, but it still BREAKS MY HEART, how much Fraser wants and loves and doesn't GET, until, hi, there's KOWALSKI, and Kowalski is an open book, Kowalski is a heart-on-his-sleeve kind of guy, Kowalski is a MESS, but he understands where Fraser is coming from, and Fraser's history hurts Kowalski almost as much as it hurts FRASER. And then they HAVE EACH OTHER, and it is awesome and wonderful and it has no porn, but one of my all-time favorite, vivid kissing scenes EVER.

Why I'm reccing this fic: Because I love the way BLG writes Fraser, SO MUCH, not too formal, but exactly like he IS, in my estimation, and this is a perfect little tiny snippet of how much he WANTS Ray and what Ray can give. MMM. YAY.

Length: Short
Why I'm reccing this fic: For all the really fast-paced scorching fics with F/K, there are some slow, simmering, hot ones. This story is just so good at showing how much they care for each other and how well they fit together, all wrapped up in the guise of a really hot story. If you haven't read it, read it. If you have, read it again!

Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it's possible someone hasn't read it yet. Because Welsh's world-weary, yet poetic point of view is not to be missed. Because Ray is clueless. Because I love it too much to be coherent about it yet - other than to say it's funny and sweet and brilliant.
