Why this must be read: In my overview I mentioned that the annual Yuletide small fandom fic exchange has a Hellblazer presence - this fic is an example of just how amazing it can be.

Chas is definitely one of my favorite characters in the series, and he really shines here, but not in a way that requires him to be anything more than he is; the spotlight is on him in a very realistic way, showing him doing exactly what he would do.

The plot is wonderful, too: a great premise that fits right in with the themes of the comic, awesome twists, a brilliant use of Chekhov's gun. It's very well paced and the voices and characterization are spot on.

Read it, you won't regret it.

Have a taste... )

Why this must be read: This is the story that made me see how F/K/V could work. It is a hysterically cute one-shot that shows a snippet of life in an established relationship. The story takes place with the boys trapped at home in a snow storm with nothing to do but play a bored game.

It was Sunday, and there was snow. A lot of snow. A fuck-ton of snow, Kowalski had said, when Ray'd asked him how much they'd gotten. Like it was an actual number or measurement they'd use on the news. Good morning, Chicago, we have a record fuck-ton of snow in some areas...

"It's Chicago," Kowalski had muttered, shrugging. "You never know." And there really was a lot of snow, enough to shut down business and schools all over the city, and it would have caused headaches getting to work if Ray and Kowalski hadn't had the day off.

Even Fraser was home, because he didn't work on Sundays anymore ("Is Canada closed on Sundays now?" Kowalski had asked suspiciously when Fraser told them, and Fraser had looked guilty and said something about labor laws, like he felt bad that he didn't have to work seven days a week), and that meant they were all home while the worst blizzard in Chicago's history dumped a rapidly increasing amount of snow outside their apartment.

The nice part was that they were all home for the day, with nothing to do.
