Title: Christmas Present
Author: [livejournal.com profile] dsudis
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: R
Length: ~3,300 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: because it's a fascinating sharp AU left-turn after Good For The Soul. It's got Ray and Ray playing Battleship. And it's about Christmas. What more could you want?

Well, it's a typical story from [livejournal.com profile] dsudis: well-written, thought-provoking, a subtle AU that shows how Good For The Soul could have gone very, very wrong.

Christmas Present

Title: It's A Wonderful Christmas Carol
Author: [livejournal.com profile] pir8fancier
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC17
Length: ~9,500 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: because [livejournal.com profile] pir8fancier normally writes such a believable Ray-voice (either Ray); here she shows us what a great Fraser-voice she has. This fic, written for the 2006 due South Seekrit Santa challenge, takes the familiar It's A Wonderful Life and gives it a due South twist. Fraser is idiotically protecting his heart in all the wrong ways, Ray is emotionally canny and dead!Bob actually helps...

It's A Wonderful Christmas Carol


Title: Departures
Author: [livejournal.com profile] nos4a2no9
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: PG13
Length: ~4,800 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: this was one of many wonderful stories that came out of [livejournal.com profile] ds_flashfiction's self-insertion challenge. Now, I'm a well-known for loving everything [livejournal.com profile] nos4a2no9 writes; I'm a big fan of hers and I don't try to hide it. But there are two things about this fic that make me want to squish Nos harder than normal.

One is the outsider's view of Kowalski. Nos' fictional self sees him for what he is: a middle-aged man, wiry and kinetic, with his own sense of rough charm and a smile that makes him beautiful. A little shy and self-effacing, someone good at kicking heads but maybe not so good at saying the important stuff. This is Ray Kowalski as we know and love him, given flesh and form through Nos' eyes.

Two is the outsider's view of [livejournal.com profile] nos4a2no9 herself. Also slightly shy, a little uncertain, an observant, intelligent person, determined to do the right thing even if it scares her a bit. Quirky and real, sweet and honest and beautiful. Enough of a glimpse of the real person to make us fall in love with her.
