Graceless

Title: Graceless
Author: dirty_diana
Pairing: F/K
Length: short
Why I'm reccing this fic: It's wing!fic and yes some have to get used to the whole concept but... This is dS and it seems like everything goes ::smiles::.
This story is a lovely written piece of Ray telling, or better showing, that he has wings, and, of course, Fraser doesn't care much...

"I've got wings!" I shout it out loud in frustration, as Fraser moves back slightly but doesn't let go. He's still afraid that I'll fall, and that makes two of us. "Don't you see I got wings?"

Fraser's confused now, honest-to-God confused like I'm not speaking English. "I see, Ray."

"Yeah, okay. You see. Don't you got anything to say?"

Mumbojumbo : Into A Far Country, Little Boy Lost, Les Revenants

Title: Into A Far Country
Author: keerawa
Pairing: Fraser/RayK
Rating: PG13
Length: 9k
Why I'm reccing this fic: because keerawa creates a moody, dark world in which the lines between real and magical have blurred and shifted. She gives us this story of Ray and Fraser, together but not, with Fraser damaged almost beyond recovery and Ray trying so hard to overcome that, but afraid. Afraid, but trying anyway, even when he's clearly in over his head.

Into A Far Country

Title: Little Boy Lost
Author: phenyx_tp
Pairing: Fraser, RayK, RayV
Rating: G
Length: 3,690 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: because this story is a bittersweet tale of loss, of grief, and of healing. Little Boy Lost tells the story of a transformed Fraser and the way Kowalski and Vecchio deal with the transformation, each trying to do their best for Fraser, trying hard to do the right thing each in their own way. This is also a story that showcases the instinctive understanding of Fraser that RayK has, which makes them such a powerful duet.

Little Boy Lost

Title: Les Revenants
Author: simplystars
Pairing: Fraser/RayK
Rating: R
Length: 3,4450 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: because I have a soft spot for zombie movies and this is what a due South zombie movie would be like. This story is written by simplystars's dark twin, the one who rips your heart out, stomps on it, brushes off the dust and hands it back to you. Bleak and real, this story moves along at a breakneck pace, never giving you a moment to catch your breath. Ray's narrative is matter of fact and to the point, but in the back of your mind is the itchy feeling that Ray's not looking too carefully at what is happening because he's afraid that if he does, he will start screaming and never stop. And he can't afford to do that.
