First DS fic posted: 2004
Full disclosure: Estrella was kind enough to beta for me a few times back when I was a newbie
Pairings: Fraser/Kowalski, Kowalski/Vecchio, Kowalski/Frannie, Kowalski/Billy Tallent, Kowalski/Stella, Kowalski/Gardino, Frannie/Welsh, gen.
Style and strengths: Estrella's character voices are spot-on. She writes humour and tension and hawt porn, and she's a mistress of the bickering-as-foreplay genre. She often includes action and/or references to cases, which help ground her fic in canon.
Other DS/C6D activity: Estrella has also written two Men With Brooms fics (one a crossover with Hard Core Logo), and one Wilby Wonderful story. Her C6D fic is on her Other Fandoms page.
Some favourites:
Mr. Cool (F/K)
I think this was one of the first of Estrella's stories that I read, and I adore it. It was written for the Fraser Fucks Up challenge on ds_flashfiction, and it shows a Kowalski who's tough and irritable and smart, and a Fraser who... fucks up. :-)
“You were checking me out,” Ray said abruptly, and watched Fraser’s eyes widen slightly.
“Excuse me?” he stammered.
“Today. At the mall. When I got out of the water-pool-fish thing you were looking at me.”
“Well, yes, of course I was looking at you,” Fraser said, clearing his throat. Then he dropped his eyes and flicked a thumb across his eyebrow. “I was helping you out of the water, and to do so - well - obviously I had to look at you to see where you were.”
All Talk Ray/Ray
Snarking and sex. <3
"You," Ray said, pushing the door open so hard it smashed back against the wall, "Are a dead man."
"Cubs are winning 8-6," Kowalski said from his loose sprawl on the couch. His feet were propped up on the coffee table and he held the neck of a dark bottle of beer from his hand. "I say we hit the sixth inning and pray for rain."
Lipstick (F/K)
Porny pornish porn! Established relationship. Summary: "Work just didn't get any better than this. He'd get to hang out with Fraser all night, in a strip club, guarding a porn star, and get paid to do it."
Fraser.
Fraser...
He spun around and found him right where Ray'd left him, leaning with his back against the wall, looking right back at him.
Because here Ray was with all these women, and yeah, they were beautiful. Fucking gorgeous. But the only thing he wanted was to finish this up so he could go home with Fraser, and get naked with Fraser, and bury himself balls deep in Fraser's ass until Fraser shouted his name and came all over the place. It was always fucking Fraser.
