Vidder's/Author's/Artist's Notes: I would like to thank mrs_laugh_track for brainstorming, cheerleading, title help, and beta! You are a rockstar. (The title, by the way, is from Sandol Stoddard Warburg's I Like You.) I would like to thank nos4a2no9 for really insightful feedback, and especially for finding a major trouble spot and helping me figure out how to fix it. You are also a rockstar. <3

Warnings: Rated G
Vidder's/Author's/Artist's Notes: My hugest thanks go to both of my betas, Caersmane and AndeInCascade. This fic never would have happened without them, and even if it had, it would have been unintelligible. Thank you.

For: slidellra

Title: Don't Tell
For: Exeterlinden

For: wihluta
Pairing/Characters: Fraser/Kowalski
Warnings: Rated R for language. This is a little bit sappy. And it made my beta cry. But good tears. Not bad.

Title: pull a breath like another cigarette
For: miss_zedem

For: spuffyduds
Pairing/Characters: Fraser, RayK, RayV
Warnings: none
Vidder's/Author's/Artist's Notes: Procrastination's in my blood, but j_s_cavalcante pitched in, despite the short notice, and love_jackianto followed and reassured me, thank you both so much!
As for my recipient - Merry Christmas, Spuffyduds, I hope you like it and if you want me to resize it or change the outward colour to blend with a non-black lj background, etc., just say so :). I don't claim to have extensive knowledge of the way lj layouts work, but I can provide help with installing the header if need be.

Title: Reconstruction

Pairing/Characters: Fraser/Vecchio
Warnings: None
Author's Notes: Enormous thanks to my incredibly helpful, smart, supportive, and sexy betas!
For: DragonflyMuse
Pairing/Characters: Vecchio/Fraser, Various, OCs
Warnings: R (OC deaths). Vegas. Spoilers for CotW
Author's Notes: Requests included angst, h/c with happy ending glimmers, the brown uniform, and all sorts of other things. I had to break the 'no character death' part, but as one is canon and any others are OCs this should still be fine, yes? Thank you to: Meresy for being a superb beta (really, she is); Primrose and Aingeal, who both told me not to give up; C for reminding me that there is a world outside this fic (and that meant that I had to read hers, and you have no idea how much I wanted to write vampire!fic after reading things from her); my buddies Q and DM, neither of whom outright told me to stop bugging them, kriffitall, this isn't their fandom.
Any remaining errors are, of course, my own.
