Guest Recs: DS Vids

I just finished that up and one of the downloads might be urgent, so here you go.
I've spent some time tracking down DS videos, so I decided to recommend all the vids that I kept. Sometimes you have to scroll down, and one vid requires you to contact the vidder per email, I made that clear.
Naturally, I think they are all great. In case you want a smaller selection, I marked those with a star that, IMO, are often recommended.

Small Yet Satisfying Rec Set

Anyone who knows me knows I have a deep ad passionate love for short-fic. So here are 13 snippet recs for you all!

spuffyduds evoked an intense, sensory-overload moment in Clear. She also wrote an intriguing post-apocalyptic Fraser/RayK piece, The Last Step is to the Side. Not for the faint of heart, but beautiful in it's own way.

New podficcers in due South

Today, I'll be reccing two new podficcers who have posted their first podfics fairly recently. I hope they record more!

sionnain
Pairing: F/K/V
Rating: PG
Length: 6.1 mb, 6.37 minutes, 1042 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This is a heart-warming story about Fraser and the Rays and how they walk in the RCMP contingent in a pride parade (but in the back, of course, so they won't ruin the aesthetic effect). It makes me grin at the banter and go 'awww' at the end. Sionnain seems to be a natural at podficcing, and does wonderful dialogue.

Characters: Vecchio family gen
Rating: PG-13
Length: 43.3 mb, 47:20 minutes, 6300 words.
Why I'm reccing this fic: This is one of my favorite stories by Keerawa, and it gives an outsider's perspective on Ray Vecchio and the rest of the Vecchio family through the years. Sundayscat reads it in a quiet, thoughtful manner, and I especially like the pauses that leave room to let the story to sink in.

Ray Vecchio, the best friend a man could have

As a friend to Benton Fraser Ray Vecchio went way beyond where most men would have or could have gone. Ray Vecchio stayed a true friend to Fraser even through and after the Victoria debacle - it wasn't just Fraser who almost was destroyed during that period. Yet the friendship survived and thrived. I choose to believe that Vecchio and Fraser stayed good friends their entire lives, no matter how much geographical distance may have been between them.

Here are three stories that I think show how lovely and complex a man Ray Vecchio is:

Kind of the delayed version of an insta-rec

By which I mean that I was pottering around in the depths of my del.ici.ous, not doing much in particular, when I came across this story (one of the Team Whimsy entries from this year's ds_match) and went yes! This! With the funny and the characterisation and the funny and the being him and the AWESOME! (also in this category are *points down* the previous recs, which other people got the joy of going all handwavey about, so, y'know, I'm just going to second people reading those. Loudly)

Title: Shot to the Heart
Author:

elementalv (Tara Keezer)
Rating: PG-13
Length: 5.600 words
Why I'm reccing this: uh, see the illiterate keyboard mashing with caps up there? Pretty much that, times really quite a lot. Yes, this story is humourous and whimsical, but it's also a truly marvellous picture of RayV looking at the wrold around him and maybe realising that letting some things happen may be scary, but they also have the potential to be really really good.

If I had an alien abduction, Reconstruction, Prepping for Adventure

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.

Great Character Voices, Part 2: Kowalski

It's a source of great angst to me that I find Kowalski's voice harder than almost any other character I've ever written; I think it's partially because CKR's delivery is so unique and so influenced by his physicality, and partially because Kowalski is so delightfully non-linear ("buttplate"?!) and I have a woefully linear brain. So I have deep, deep admiration for writers who can really capture his rhythm and his quirks of speech without making them sound forced—puts a smile on my face as big as Lake Michigan.

In Character, by

joandarck (F/K, sorta kinda Fraser/Thatcher, rated R) – For my money, Joan has the best Kowalski voice going; when I first started writing Kowalski and was having some trouble getting a handle on him, I read this fic and almost immediately emailed Joan to help me find my way. She's so good at the rhythm, and the Kowalski-isms ("you're really goin' to run back and forth like a squirrel with no nut, here?"), and the jittery motion. And the Fraser voice is excellent besides. Add that to a sizzling hot roleplay scenario, and you've got a fantastic read.

( An excerpt: )

Love, and a Series of Telephone Calls, by

aerye (K/V, rated G) – I will confess that I beta-ed this fic, but really, the beta process primarily involved flailing of the "OMG I LOVE THIS" variety. It takes so many of the Ray/Ray conventions and flips them on their heads, and the result is just wall-to-wall glee that feels fresh and grounded in the characters as we know them, but not necessarily as we're used to seeing them in fic. The bulk of the story is in Vecchio POV, which is awesome, but the eponymous telephone calls are between Fraser and Kowalski, and the Kowalski voice there is gold. I really cannot tell you how much joy this fic has brought me.

( An excerpt: )

Watching the Detectives, by

brooklinegirl (F/V/K, rated R) – I also beta-ed this fic (hey, it was a busy winter), and after I first read it, I had lunch with

sdwolfpup and found myself quoting about 3/4 of it to her, grinning the entire time. It's hilarious, for one thing—Vecchio saying "Again?", wearily, as he's informed that they're going through the front door—NEVER fails to make me laugh. And the Kowalski POV, especially the part about figuring out Fraser, is worth the price of admission. That the fic is HOT as well as hilarious doesn't hurt, either; nothing like three boys finally figuring out they're made for each other.

( An excerpt: )

Man With a (Fucking Fantastic) Plan, by

etben (F/V/K, rated NC-17) – This is one of my favorite FVK fics ever. Etben absolutely nails the balance between these guys, how well they fit together in pairs and then how insanely awesome they are as a trio, as well as anyone in the fandom. And her Kowalski voice is just a joy; easy and natural and never overdone.

( An excerpt: )

Chicago Is So Two Years Ago, by

minervacat (second part here) (K/V, rated NC-17) – This is another of my favorite dS stories; I've recced it a ton and I will very happily rec it again. A lovely, long, surefire comfort fic that just makes me insanely happy. This was also the fic that illustrated to me that one of Kowalski's quirks of speech is how he occasionally doesn't use contractions where an ordinary person would (which is kind of hilarious, considering that one thing Fraser-POV writers need to remember is that Fraser DOES use contractions). Of course that's just one small portion of how well the Kowalski voice works in this fic, but it's always stood out to me.

( An excerpt: )

Failsafe, by

sprat (F/K, rated PG-13) – This was one of my favorite stories from last year's DS Match. (Sprat was on Team Angst, so be warned, though it's not as angsty as some from that challenge.) The central conflict is so organic and understated, and it's one that I think would necessarily arise in any relationship with Fraser (funnily enough, I've written a fic with this same central conflict from an F/V perspective), and Sprat deals with it beautifully. The fic as a whole is wonderfully tense and intense, not a word wasted. From a character voice perspective, it's extremely impressive, too—sometimes fanon tends to de-dork Kowalski, and that always makes me sad because I LOVE Kowalski's dorkiness. But Sprat manages here to give us a Kowalski who's serious and capable, but who still has that dorktastic side, which is a perfect (and very canon-esque) subtle balance to the angst. Just an all-around brilliant fic.

DS Match Fic: Lift

Title: Lift
Author:

spuffyduds
Pairing: K/V, F/K/V
Rating: R
Length: 6,200 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: There are lots of things to like about this story. It's the first wing-fic I've seen that captures the creepiness of the concept, as it slots neatly into Ray's nightmares of being an inhuman freak. Fraser's reaction when he realizes that his Rays are together is strikingly in character.

But the thing that makes me keep coming back and re-reading 'Lift' is the author's vision of Ray Vecchio, post-Vegas. This is a man who knows what he wants, and doesn't give a damn what other people think. He's cautious yet centered, loving and confident, completely ignoring Kowalski's fucked-up boundaries to transform the thing between them into an actual relationship. The idea that Vecchio's time undercover could allow him to grow into THIS person is wonderfully hopeful, and the entire story leaves me with a warm glow.

DS Match Fic: a problem of memory

Title: a problem of memory
Author: to be revealed
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio, Fraser/Kowalski implied
Rating: G
Length: 1,725 words
Why I'm reccing this fic:

There's so much packed into this short story, yet it never feels crowded and it flows beautifully. I love the use of Stella here, her 'outsider!pov' into this relationship, and how she is a completely human and real character here. Contrasted to this is the development of the Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio relationship. Wonderful and rich.

Title: Deep Colours Bleed
Author: to be revealed
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio
Rating: PG-13
Length: 5,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic:

There are a lot of difficult themes addressed in this story - and no, it's not an 'issue' fic - but it's done without melodrama. I love the little glimpses into a very mature and complex relationship, and how they make it despite all the complications work.

Title: Watchman

llassah
Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio/Kowalski, with hints of Welsh/Frannie
Rating: G
Length: 3,100 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Lieutenant Welsh has always been the heart of the 2-7. The story shows him looking after first Vecchio, then Kowalski, and finally Fraser, as they return from their CotW adventures, all a bit damaged in shipping.

It's subtle, rich, and hopeful.

I love outsider!pov, I love Welsh and I love slice-of-life stories. This has it all. Great character voices, for all of them, but especially for Welsh, and wonderful character moments. There's humor, and warmth and Frannie, a grown-up Frannie.

DS Match Fic: Lift

Title: Lift
Author: to be revealed
Pairing: Kowalski/Vecchio, Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio
Rating: R
Length: 6,200 words
Why I'm reccing this fic:

Team Reality opened the game with an intriguing, gritty and plotty story. I enjoyed reading
The Harder They Fall, a lot. It has great character voices and I felt for both of them. I loved how it felt real with real life problems. It's well worth your time. I know I'm going to re-visit it.

So, I can see you scratching your head, why do I rec Lift? Because I fell head over heels in love with it. I love their voices. I love RayV, for me the mile stone of characterization. I can buy a lot of RayKs and Frasers, but RayV is special. This is so an intriguing view on him, I want to know more.

And I love the rest of the story too. The plot, the theme, the humor and the angst. It's all seamlessly weaved together into one beautiful story. I've already read it twice and I know I'm going to re-read it, and re-read it...

Why I'm reccing this fic:

Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio recs - the PWP edition!

So around midnight last night, when I was looking over this list to finalize it, I realized what my major problem was with my posting scheme - THERE IS NOTHING REALLY INTELLIGENT THAT I CAN SAY ABOUT PWPS! Note that I am not saying that there is nothing intelligent to be said about the subject of PWPs, because there truly is! A talented author can use sex as a very powerful tool for development of both character and relationship. Unfortunately, my brain tends to dissolve into a puddle of goo when reading most well written, well characterized sex. So in place of any sort of thoughtful commentary, I am offering excerpts from these stories instead. Because I am certain that all of these are very well characterized stories that say much about Fraser, Kowalski, Vecchio and their relationships. I just didn't notice because my brain was too busy being short circuited. *g*

( This way for sex! )

Annnnd that's all folks! Thank you kindly for your wonderfully enthusiastic response and thanks to our wonderful mods. I know I had fun!

Established Relationship Fics

So today I am going to flail about my favorite established relationship fics.

... wait, please don't run away! I know that they are not everyone's cuppa (especially if they are not sold 100% on a pairing) but for me they are actually some of the most interesting stories for examining my favorite relationships. I am sold enough on Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio that I really believe that just about any scenario could be worked to at least get them into bed together, if not planning a long term committed relationship. But why would they stay together? What would keep them working to keep a relationship that is so unconventional and how could they ever balance it with work? These are some wonderfully compelling questions and I think that these next few stories that I am reccing today do a wonderful job at getting at the answers to them.

The Many Routes to Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio

*waves* Hi, I am

sansets and I will be your guest reccer for the week! There are many things about this fandom that I love, but there are very few that will get me as wildly enthusiastic as my OT3 - Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio. Today's post is going to focus on a celebration of how many different ways there are to get these three stubborn guys into a relationship.

( For your reading pleasure - the many routes to Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio )

And that was that! I will be back later in the week for a post on established F/K/V fics and finishing off my week with everyone's favorite - PWPs! (OK, perhaps not everyone's favorite, but it comes really close to being mine.) In the meantime, feel free to comment with your recs for great first time fics. There are some great stories that I didn't rec because I was going to rec other stories by the same author for my other posts and there are also some great stories that I haven't read yet, so please tell me all about your favorites!
