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.

Simply Ray; Some Strange Prophecy; Sestina

Title: Simply Ray
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ardent_muses
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 12,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: The angst! Oh, the angst! I can't read this fic without tearing up. It's so deliciously heartbreaking and so very plausible -- afraid of getting hurt, Ray and Fraser stop talking to each other, make wrong assumptions and end up making things so much worse. Oh, boys!

A brief excerpt )

Simply Ray



Title: Some Strange Prophecy
Author: [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski, Fraser/various OCs
Rating: NC-17
Length: 53,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I hated this fic the first time I read it. I didn't understand Fraser's actions. I found the whole thing depressing and anti-romantic. But I couldn't stop re-reading the damn thing! Once I finally got a handle on it, I loved it madly. This fic has a very bold concept of Fraser -- but also a very specific one. He may at first seem OOC, but there are very in-character motivations for his actions.

A brief excerpt )

Some Strange Prophecy



Title: Sestina (the series)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] basingstoke
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski, Vecchio/Stella
Rating: Not Rated (I'd give it an R)
Why I'm reccing this fic: I love how Ray and Fraser are written in this series. They're equals. They're not perfect. They're human. I love the domesticity of it, the little details of their post-CotW 'out but not advertising it' life. I love Vecchio's portrayal as well, his uneasy acceptance of Ray and Fraser and his relationship with Stella. This fic is a crossover with 'Homocide: Life on the Streets' but no knowledge of that show is required.

A brief excerpt )

Sestina: Zen. Tidal Waves. Cigarettes. Baby's Breath. Collision. North.

Fun and Games, Thursdays, and Untitled F/K Genderfuck

Title: Fun and Games
Author: [livejournal.com profile] madsciencechick
Pairing: Frannie/various
Rating: NC-17
Length: 1400 words
Why I'm reccing this fic:

In a word, FRANNIE!! This is my darling Frannie as the writers of Due South would never let her be. Luckily, we have fic to fix that! And this series of 7 double drabbles is just AWESOME. Frannie grows and matures and explores and just has fun and by the end, I defy you to not be just a little bit in love with her.

A brief excerpt )

Fun and Games


Title: Thursdays
Author: [livejournal.com profile] spuffyduds
Pairing: Kowalski/Vecchio
Rating: NC-17
Length: 5,100 words
Why I'm reccing this fic:

*sighs happy sigh* These are my Rays, just how I like them - a little bit broken, a lot bit snarky, and just full of love for each other. [livejournal.com profile] spuffyduds warns for dub con, which is normally my one big turn off in a fic, but she just made it work in the context of the story. A little bit edgy, and a little bit tarnished, but just so meant for each other!

A brief excerpt )

Thursdays


Title: Untitled F/K Genderfuck
Author: [livejournal.com profile] llassah
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 2174 words
Why I'm reccing this fic:

Because even over and above my kink for genderfuck, this is SO much more than a PWP. This is a fascinating assessment of the difficulties that an unexpected sex switch would entail. This is Ray Kowalski, freaked as fuck out about being a female, and yet resigned to it enough to think of himself as a female. This story is just ... I've never read anything quite like it before! (Actually, this entire 'verse is just astounding, and this is just the middle! If you want to read the rest, the first story, which is Kowalski/Starbuck, is here and the last story, which is Kowalski/Vecchio, is here.)

A brief excerpt )

Untitled F/K Genderfuck
sansets: Knee high rainbow socks on a white person's legs, while the legs are toe-ing a pair of sneakers off. (RayK/Fraser)

(This Must Be) The Place, Popularity, Beautiful Thing

Title: (This Must Be) The Place
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mrsronweasley
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 4,600
Why I'm reccing this fic:

Fraser and Ray as parents! Really, do I need to say anything more than that? But if you do, I don't think I need to go any farther than their kids - so endearing and true to life. And also some really hot sex!

A brief excerpt )

(This Must Be) The Place

Title: Popularity
Author: [livejournal.com profile] jasmasson
Pairing: pre Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: PG-13
Length: 3,792
Why I'm reccing this fic:

This is a kidfic in the sense that this is a high school AU. And it is so delightful! I am in love with the high school versions of everyone that [livejournal.com profile] jasmasson has created, but especially young Fraser. I can just see these versions waiting to grow up and become the characters that we all know and love!

Title: Beautiful Thing
Author: [livejournal.com profile] justbreathe80
Pairing: Fraser/OFC
Rating: NC-17
Length: 2267
Why I'm reccing this fic:

Fraser in high school, and his first time ... everything. Having a girlfriend, having sex, breaking the rules. It is a joy to catch a glimpse of Fraser at that age, and is more hot than it has any right to be!
