loquacious (loh-KWEY-shuhs) by AkamineChan

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:54:31 -0600

Title: loquacious (loh-KWEY-shuhs)
For: Ariastar
Pairing/Characters: Fraser/Kowalski
Warnings: Violence (non-graphic death occurring off-page), bad language
Author's Notes: Many thanks to my awesome horde of talented betas, plus my flist for the <3 and *\o/*. Many, many thanks to my horde of betas. Waltzforanight was the first to see this, in its original F/K/V form, which wasn't working for me. J_S_Cavalcante helped me tear this story down and rebuild it as a more solid F/K story, helping me in ways that I can't even describe. She also helped reassure me that it didn't suck, which is apparently part of the job description. All while juggling her own myriad commitments, all on a deadline. Were_duck, Sionnain and Julia_here all provided different viewpoints as well as insightful and really helpful comments and advice. It was cute to watch Sionn and Were_duck bond over the GoogleDoc of my story. As always, this story is only as good as it is because of my betas and any remaining mistakes are mine. Last but not least, many thanks to RL friend P, who helped with GTO tune-up tips (which unfortunately got left on the editing room floor) and for a pleasant discussion on the physics of defenestration.

Title: Migration Patterns
For: Ifreet
Pairing/Characters: F/K/V
Warnings: none
Vidder's/Author's/Artist's Notes: This was not the story I intended to write; but it is a story I intended to write over a year ago, and have had in the gestation ever since. (Someone here might recognise the seven prompts which inspired it.) Ifreet, thank you for making me put it down on paper at last. Many thanks to my beta, who isn't even in the fandom, did me the greatest of services at the latest of hours, and is not to be blamed for anything.

Freaks & Geeks (To Say Nothing of the Goat) by Stars

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:55:44 -0600

Title:   Freaks & Geeks (To Say Nothing of the Goat)
For:    isiscaughey
Pairing/Characters:   Fraser/Kowalski; Dief, Turtle, Welsh
Warnings:   Angst & porn (of the NC-17 variety). Here there be clowns.

Author's Notes:
For Isis, who wanted Fraser/RayK post-COTW casefic set in Chicago, with Welsh and Dief and Turtle. I think the only thing I didn't quite manage was Fraser h/c, unless you count emotional pain. *g* Cheer up, emo Fraser! You'll get your happy ending. :) Oh, and I took artistic liberties with real-life locations... you'll know it when you read it. Happy holidays from your Seekrit Santa! \o/

The part always has a tendency to reunite with its whole, in order to escape from its imperfection. - Leonardo da Vinci

Neither Expose Nor Extinguish by VerushkaKowalski

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:06:53 -0600

Title: Neither Expose Nor Extinguish
For: HYPERfocused
Pairing/Characters: Fraser/Kowalski, Stella Bonasera (CSI:NY) -- all you need to know about CSI:NY is that Melina Kanakaredes, who played Victoria on DS, plays Stella Bonasera on CSI:NY.
Warnings: NC-17
Vidder's/Author's/Artist's Notes: As this was a rather last-minute pinch hit, I owe BIG HUGE THANK YOUs to my fabulous and amazing betas. I am utterly indebted to the helpful and supportive Lucifuge-5, who held my hand from beginning to end, and also to lovely china_shop and wonderful malnpudl who responded to an eleventh hour request for extra pairs of eyes. Their combined feedback vastly improved this pinch-hit from a barely-begun WIP into what it is now. It literally would not exist without their help. All remaining mistakes are mine alone.

Vidder's/Author's/Artist's Notes: Miss Zedem offered "Between the woods and frozen lake/the darkest evening of the year" as a prompt, and the image stuck with me. Happy holidays, Miss Z.; I hope this works for you. Many thanks to Malnpudl, my beta-to-be-named-now.
