Title: The News Just Came in From the Country of Keck
Author: mrs_laugh_track
Pairing: Ray/Ray
Rating: PG-13
Length: 678
Why I'm reccing this fic: Frannie's six-year-old just had a birthday party! This is cute and fluffy and Kowalski has straw in his hair, and I DARE you to read it and not smile, and at the same time it has a lot of really cool little touches, like Kowalski actually being near-sighted and the different ways the Rays interact with the Vecchio kids. Also, Vecchio is totally the sheriff.

Title: Changing Weather
Author: spuffyduds
Pairing: Ray/Ray
Rating: NC-17
Length: 1625
Why I'm reccing this fic: It's Halloween and Vecchio's family is coming over, so Kowalski has to pretend to live in the guest bedroom again. I love this fic because it's a really fresh look at Vecchio not being out to his family and what that would (and wouldn't) mean, and THEN there's tussling! This fic has EVERYTHING!

Title: Indelible
Author: brynnmck
Pairing: Ray/Ray, references to Fraser/Janet Morse
Rating: NC-17
Length: ~5000
Why I'm reccing this fic: Possibly I have recced this before? Anyway, this starts with Vecchio getting drunk at Fraser's wedding and hitting on Kowalski, and goes from there. One of my very favorite things is Kowalski crushing on Vecchio, and man, you need a chainsaw (or at least an ax) to cut the longing in this fic. Also it is REALLY REALLY HOT.

C6D Celebrations Challenge: Turn Toward Home

Title: Turn Toward Home
Author: vsee
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: G
Length: ~3800 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: It's a quiet, insightful description of the first Valentin's Day for Ray and Fraser as a couple from Ray's POV. It rings true, how Ray gets uncertain and redefines their relationship and the meaning of this holiday during the events of the evening. And all the smaller and bigger proofs of love for each other left me feeling warm and fuzzy.
