Wow, this was hard to narrow down! I ended up limiting myself to dSSS and I STILL had to leave off some of my favorite stories. ::cries::

Title: If I had an alien abduction, I'd give you one
Author: jadelennox
Pairing: Frannie/Kowalski
Rating: PG (for language)
Length: ~2500 words.
Why I'm reccing this fic: Well, first of all, it was written for meeeee! And I have been wanting just some sweet, romantic, first-time Frannie/Kowalski for SO LONG, and this is it (although warning: this fic is more like pre-het, although the happy ending is CLEARLY coming). Someday there will be LOTS, I hope, because Frannie and Kowalski would be SO AWESOME together and this story captures exactly why: they are the same kind of weird, and they would have so much FUN. Plus, Kowalski helping with Frannie's kids: adorable, or the MOST adorable? Also, bonus Billy-Tallent-partnering-Kowalski! How can you resist?

Title: Reconstruction
Author: brynnmck
Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio
Rating: Not rated, but I'd say hard R or NC-17
Length: ~10,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This fic is basically everything I ever wanted in life. You think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. It's just fabulous, amazing post-Victoria's Secret first-time fic, and I read it about four times the first week it was posted.

brynnmck's Fraser-POV is...brilliant. She does an amazing job of capturing both Fraser's self-restraint, kindness, and responsibility AND his humor, anger, and occasional pettiness. She explores the post-VS fallout in a way I've never seen before (among other things, she focuses on Fraser's betrayal of Mountieness, rather than his betrayal of Ray). And Fraser's affection for Vecchio suffuses every word.

Title: Prepping for Adventure
Author: spuffyduds
Pairing: Ray/Ray, F/K/V
Rating: hard R?
Length: ~5000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Vecchio on the quest! Do you really need to know more? If so, then: this fic is ADORABLE. There's a scene with Kowalski and a sleeping bag that, well, if I made a long enough Awwwww it would cause a W shortage. Plus, the exploration of undercover!Vecchio is fresh and awesome. There's a post-CotW scene with him and Frannie that is--adorable, and touching, and fantastic, and makes so much sense in terms of what Ray needs to get him back to normal, plus, FRANNIE. Plus, okay, I feel a bit weird about this, but I secretly ship Vecchio/his henchmen, just a little (they are so into him! "Yes, boss, beautiful English!"). And this has a scene involving the line "I missed you, boss" that makes me squee in a way I'm not really sure it's intended to, but WHATEVER.
