He Hadn't Stopped Christmas From Coming

Title: He Hadn't Stopped Christmas From Coming
Author: Belmanoir
Pairing: F/K/V
Rating: NC-17
Length: 21,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: I'm sneakily combining both previous challenges with Belmanoir's DSSS fic in which there are a veritable plethora of new beginings. This is an incredibly warm-hearted story bringing together our boys at Christmas time. The characterisation is tight and irresistable. Stella is (off-screen, but still) awesome. Frannie is... oh, Frannie! I love you like nobody's business, here. And Ray and Ray, falling for each other, helplessly, hopelessly. I love it. Plus watching Kowalski play matchmaker is a whole new level of awesome! And it's Hot Liek Whoah! This story makes me very happy.

Title: Cosmic Rays

Pairing: Ray/Ray
Rating: NC-17
Length: 43,300 words
Warning: ( Minor spoiler )
Why I'm reccing this fic:

Because once I started it, I couldn't put it down. It's a science fiction novel that not only shows off a rich and complicated world, but charts the slowly building relationship between Kowalski and Vecchio. It has snark and spark and humour and warmth, and that kind of Firefly-esque sense of the crew being a family. The supporting cast are wonderful. The UST shimmers. The characters' backstories are original and well thought out. The whole thing rocked my socks.

Admin Post: New Beginnings Challenge!

Out with the old, in with the new! Our Seekrit Santa Challenge has scurried back up the chimney, and we're on to a brand new week of recs here at

ds_recsredux. And what is a more fitting new challenge topic than....New Beginnings!

That's right, come on down and rec your favourite fics that explore new beginnings - emotional or literal fresh starts, as in New Year, new job, new boyfriend, new boundaries set or pushed (sexual or otherwise, but I'm votin' for sexual!) new routines, new undercover assignments, or brand new cabins out in the wilds of Canada. Think renewal. Think rebirth. Think...new challenge!

We'll run this one until next Monday. Thank you kindly, as always, for participating and offering up those recs!
