Holiday Challenge: In the Round, Home for the Holidays, Twelve Ways to Make Ray More Canadian

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

Going with fics that have never been recced in this comm helped me narrow it down a little ... and I ended up with three first Christmases for RayK in Canada. :-)

Title: In the Round
Author: Moonloon (maryavatar)
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: PG
Length: 961 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Here is a classic clueless!Fraser story, finally figuring things out just in time for Christmas. But what I really like is this portrayal of Ray, finding a creative outlet for his wild passions. Moonloon stated that she wanted an alternative to Ray as a mechanic, and this one's memorable.

In the Round


Title: Home for the Holidays
Author: lamardeuse
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: PG
Length: ~2000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Fraser is only slightly less clueless in this story--he at least is doing naked things with Ray on a regular basis, but still doesn't truly understand Ray's love. Which, it turns out, is a lot like Christmas.

Home for the Holidays


Title: Twelve Ways to Make Ray More Canadian
Author: Tara R. (zoetrope)
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: G
Length: Er, fairly short
Why I'm reccing this fic: And finally, a much happier Fraser, determined to Canadianize Ray on Christmas. This is a hilarious version of The Twelve Days of Christmas, presented in a gorgeous graphic format. Just the art alone gives you that feeling of holiday cheer! Irresistable--check out the sample:

Holiday Challenge: Away

Title: Away
Author: Te
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: PG or less
Length: ~2700 words

Why I'm reccing this fic: Because it's the literary equivalent of a cozy blanket and a mug of hot mulled cider on a cold, snowy night. It's sweet without being saccharine, has voices so spot on you can hear them in your head, and is chock-full of warm, witty F/K banter. Add to that a Charlie Brown tree and two lonely guys who manage to dream it, and themselves, into something bigger, together.

This is an older fic, so a lot of you might have already read it. If you have, read it again. If not, you're in for a treat. Either way, it'll make you feel a little better about whatever your situation is.
