06:31 pm Counting the Ways, by joandarck (PG)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio
Length: 1500 words
Author on LJ: [personal profile] joandarck
Author Website: None that I know of
Why this must be read:

According to the author's note, the idea behind this story is, "What if they had to Hide Their Love, but instead of OMG Angst, it was just cute? Because, looking at the early episodes of the show, that's kind of more how I would picture things."

In this story, we get a glimpse of the early days of Fraser and Vecchio's romantic relationship. To no one's surprise, it takes place largely in the closet.


It's very sweet and [personal profile] joandarck does a really nice job turning the fandom cliché of  the Hidden Gay Love on its head.

06:43 pm Proximity, Spaces, and Extra Limbs by llassah (NC-17)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Kowalski/Vecchio
Length: 1300 words
Author on LJ: [personal profile] llassah
Author Website: I'm not sure
Why this must be read:

To make up for my recent slacking off, here's another Vecchio fic for you. Like most Ray/Ray I've seen, this story is set after Ray Vecchio's inevitable return to Chicago, some time after the series ends. It's smouldering, quick and dirty. There are only 1300 words, and I want to quote them all to you. But let's start with this:

10:02 pm Jealous Gods, by Rose_Griffes (PG-13)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (NEW)
Pairing: Kara/Sam
Length: about 1300 words
Author on LJ:[personal profile] rose_griffes
Author Website: archived here
Why this must be read:It's a gorgeous and painful, yet not entirely bleak depiction of what the year on New Caprica might have been like for Kara. Her constant, apparently doomed struggle for self-reinvention is insightfully portrayed. It's also a wonderful portrait of Sam.

Sometimes she felt like she was made of exposed nerve endings, pieces of herself cut away. Other times her happiness was so sharp; she was alive and loved and that’s when she remembered what she gave up for this. She’s ripped herself in two and the halves don’t fit together any more.
