"Rogue", "Deja Vu All Over Again", "Cognitive Dissonance"

It was HARD narrowing this down to three. So many great stories have come out of DSSS! So I decided to pick one from each of the last 3 years.

Title: Rogue
Author: kat_allison
Year: 2004
Pairing: None
Rating: PG
Length: 4,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I see a dark side to Fraser, at times. The handful of writers who also see it write it very, very well, and Kat Allison is one of the best. Post-"Ladies Man", Franklin threatens to reveal that Ray Vecchio isn't who he seems unless all charges against him are dropped. Fraser takes steps to ensure that doesn't happen.

Title: Deja Vu All Over Again
Author: vienna_waits
Year: 2005
Pairing: None
Rating: PG
Length: 16,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This Welsh-POV story has one of the best uses of magical realism I've seen in the fandom. Welsh goes through a rotten day, and at the moment of his death, his dead mother pops up to give him a chance to make things right. It's plotty and delicious, with lots of character insights and a happy ending!

Title: Cognitive Dissonance
Author: slidellra
Year: 2006
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 3,500 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This story makes me laugh out loud. Fraser keeps touching Ray up during fire fights, and then denying it. The cases these two are working are nuts, and the finale is hot porny goodness.
