Title: Dawn
For: Dessert First

Title: Promises To Keep
For: Miss Zedem
Pairing/Characters: Ray Kowalski/Benton Fraser
Warnings: My beta described this as "wibble-inducing." I leave it to the reader to decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
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.

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.

Title: Getting this happy takes practice
For: Jen
Pairing/Characters: Frannie/Kowalski
Warnings: brief references to domestic violence
Vidder's/Author's/Artist's Notes:  Thank you to all the people (including brainstormers, a music consultant, and my darling beta) who helped this fic come together! 

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/

Author's Notes: Happy Holidays!  This is my attempt at an ensemble gen casefic with humor. I hope it pleases.

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.

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: What you Make of It

Title: Code Words, Diva Fits and Unexpected Arrivals: A Date in Three Clichés

Title: Phenomenal Cosmic Powers (itty bitty living space)
For: brigantine1
Pairing/Characters: Vecchio/Kowalski, Fraser
Warnings: None
Vidder's/Author's/Artist's Notes: I would like to thank the instigator who told me to run with this idea and gave me ongoing support and suggestions, and the beta who reassured me that it made sense outside of my head.

Title: Handprint
For: bluebrocade
Pairing/Characters: Fraser/Kowalski
Warnings: R-rated
Author's Notes: Thank you to jadesfire2808 and athousanderrors for hand-holding, pom-pom waving and all around awesomeness.  To my recipient, I hope you like it; I struggled to incorporate the elements you wanted, and can only hope I succeeded &hearts

This is a sequel to http://miss-zedem.livejournal.com/294240.html, although it makes sense without having read that...

Title:  The Hypotenuse of a Right Triangle
Recipient: ExeterLinden
Characters: Stella, RayK, RayV, Fraser + the usual supporting cast
Warnings: none
Notes 1:  Consider this an Alternate Reality, where Stella became a detective and RayK became an attorney.  The other major change is I've inverted the order of "Juliet is Bleeding" and "Victoria's Secret" in this 'verse's chronology.
Notes 2:  Linden requested something that looked at gender and RayK and Stella, possibly doing a gender flip. I thought there might be something interesting to flipping their professions instead.  I hope this touched on at least a little of what you wanted to see! :)
Acknowledgments: Endless thanks to china_shop for the beta.  &hearts;
Summary: "Miss--I mean Detective--Kowalski!  The thief called!"
