I've just finished my first Ray K story across on fanfiction. I'm going to let it sit for a few days, then re edit it, and post the polished version across on AO3.

Anyway... it's set immediately after Burning Down the House. It's rated T for graphic depictions of violence, childhood trauma, spousal abuse. But it does explore friendship, and ends on ( Read more... )

A Benny poem.

Hide and Seek

Somewhere in the deep
Dark woods
Benny's father stands
Trying to make his son
Stand firm,
Maintain the Right
And be a man.

And he's been told how to do it,
But he knows that he can't

And I'm lonely, long gone.

That's no lie.
Just don't be a frown,
Don't let the whole world know
What's going down
Behind the coffee buzz
The sugar high.

Wanna be still asleep,
But that ain't gonna happen.
Bounce up at the ( Read more... )

When I started writing fanfic (on the 16th of February... five weeks ago!) I decided that I was going to try and write a couple of stories that might have worked as episodes. I thought I'd start chronologically, with RayV and Fraser, since I love the boys, and see what happened.

Well, I managed four crime fics for Fraser and RayV, as well as being ( Read more... )

My first fanfiction for due South, in which painful memories come up for Fraser and RayV.  Each man struggles to come to terms with monsters from their past while saving a runaway child from demons of his own.
