due South Recs Redux

darlings: the Ray/Ray challenge is...well, probably off fucking in an alley somewhere. You can find the eight challenge responses here!

and starting now, 12/3, ds_recsredux is going on hiatus until after the holidays. Everyone is stressed and trying to keep up with various challenges, and we here at ds_recredux are going to hold off on putting up new challenges until shortly after the holidays. We will be back with all-new fun challenges, so do not go away!

Meanwhile, the insta-rec deal is still active, so if you see a fic in your travels that desperately needs reccing in the month of December, this is the place to do it!

Many smooches to you all, and we will be back before you know it! ♥

This week's challenge, my lovely fangirls, is the Ray/Ray challenge. (You're shocked! I know!) That's right - we want to you to rec us your very favorite Ray/Ray fics. Those stories that opened your eyes to the wonderful pairing of Ray Kowalski and Ray Vecchio! After you swore you'd never read the pairing, promised yourself it wouldn't happen, what's the fic that dragged you, made you leave poor Fraser all alone up in Canada while Kowalski and Vecchio have messy, dirty, fucked-up sex down in Chicago, all full of desperation and love and need and wonderfulness?

And for those of you, like me, who sort of came into the fandom fully vested in the cult of Ray/Ray-ness, what are your favorites? What is the one that make you moan with delight, the one that you force upon your very strict Fraser/Kowalski or Fraser/Vecchio friends and insist that it will open their eyes and show them that yeah, come on, if - just if! - Fraser and Kowalski break up, this is the safety net, this is the thing that saves Kowalski from falling to itty, bitty pieces and drinking himself to death in a lonely Chicago apartment.

Ray and Ray need each other, they want each other. They had the same partner; they married the same woman. They're fucked up, and they recognize that in each other, and together, they can put together the broken pieces in a way that works. Also: there's punching and sarcasm and huge amounts of unresolved sexual tension and they fuck if you blow on them.

So, go forth! Rec! Ray/Ray! Tell us which fics you love, and why, and how you came around to loving the pairing! And who knows, you might just convince someone to come over to the dark side with your sheer, unadulterated enthusiasm.

Uhm. Yes, okay, so the Ray/Ray Challenge is open until Sunday, November 26th! Have fun! Be dirty!

So. We noticed that the first few days of the rimming challenge were RATHER QUIET, recs-wise. We were having a completely sweet and innocent conversation about how best to inspire everyone, and the brain-storming resulted in, well. This:

Rimming! Who doesn't like to read about Fraser licking Ray Kowalski's ass? Certainly Ray Kowalski enjoys having it DONE to him. I love that it makes him fall apart. I love that he can be a tough, cool guy, giving as good as he gets, but when Fraser is sprawled between his legs, licking his way inside of him, it shakes Ray to pieces.

Fraser loves it too, loves the way Ray is a little hesitant at first, isn't sure he wants it, but when Fraser pushes his tongue inside of Ray the first time, he moans like it's the best thing he's ever felt. Fraser loves Ray's body underneath his, holding him open, tasting him, and he wishes he could make him come, just like that, with Fraser's tongue in his ass.

And the thing is, Fraser doesn't ask for a lot, in bed. He's not very demanding, maybe because Ray, himself, is full of ideas. Ray is enthusiastic in bed, and Fraser is more than willing to go along for the ride. But this thing? This thing that Ray has only ever allowed Fraser to do, no one else? This is something Fraser asks for.

They don't do it a lot, because it's almost, almost too much for Ray to take. It turns him on too hard, too fast. That's what Fraser loves about it - he loves to make Ray lose control, and he loves that it's his tongue right there, pressing inside Ray, that does it.

He loves to make Ray beg for it, and Ray will say, "God, Fraser, please, just - don't - oh god," and Fraser knows that he could fuck Ray. He could push his cock into Ray and he would take it, and love it, but Fraser doesn't want that.

He wants Ray just like this.

He moves his tongue against Ray, pushing slightly against his hole on every other stroke. He wonders if Ray can come just like this, because he's making the sounds he makes, the incoherent streams of words, the low, shaking moans, that he makes when Fraser's fucking him, or taking Ray into his mouth. So he pushes a bit hard, picks up the speed. He can be inventive too.

Ray is shaking so hard, he can't catch his breath. He's got the sheets clenched in his hands, and he's rocking forward against the bed. His cock is so hard, so hard, and he can't even - he can't - Fraser pushes his tongue inside, and again, and again, and Ray cries out hoarsely and comes, spilling all over the sheets.

Fraser smiles, as much as he can with his face still pressed against Ray. Ray's still talking, saying something Fraser can't hear, and he knows that he should stop because it's probably driving Ray insane, but he stays there, licking him and working him until he collapses on the bed, panting and moaning.

"God, Fraser, what you do to me..." he whispered, and Fraser eased himself up to place a kiss at the base of Ray's spine.



*koff* Darlings, I deeply hope that inspires you to go find your favorite rimming fics and share them! Because, frankly, we find that we're rather FOCUSED on it, lately. Give us ONE fic, okay, with ass-licking, and you will WIN OUR LOVE. ♥

Hello all! brooklinegirl and justbreathe80 here (yes! together! on the COUCH!). We had a wonderful week of Fraser POV recs, and they were FANTASTIC. Thanks to everyone! You can view the 17 entries here. YAY!!!

New challenge coming right up in the AM! WHEE!

This week's challenge is a porny one, which I'm sure will surprise you all so much, considering who the mods are.

We all have our kinks. Fisting, bondage, breath play, leather,domination, just to name a few. And we probably all have our favorite DS kink fics.

SO. This week's challenge is a Kink Challenge. Rec up to three fics that have a hot kink in them. Maybe you didn't realize you had a genderfuck thing. Or a priest thing. Or a uniform thing. Or a GUN thing. Tell us what fics got you going, hit your buttons, or made you like something kinky you thought you'd never like.

The challenge will be open until late night Sunday, October 15. As always, please follow the posting guidelines in the user info and tag as much as you can. And remember, finding a new fic is a GREAT opportunity for you to leave the author some feedback.

Go forth! Get kinky!
