Title: don't fool yourself in thinking

Length: 1000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: There's a grace to this, and a lyricism that I didn't expect from something with so much imposed structure. It reads like a sonnet, almost.
Over and beyond that, it's one of the fics that pulled me into LJ and the fandom here.
When Fraser is working, out in the field or on the ice floes or wherever it is that Fraser goes for days at a time, Ray plays his tiny boombox as loud as it will go. When Fraser is gone, Ray dances in the kitchen and leaves his boots in the middle of the floor and throws all the covers off the bed when he gets up in the morning.
Kind of, it’s because when Fraser’s gone, Ray can, but mostly it’s because the cabin is too damn quiet when Fraser’s gone, and Ray just can’t stand the endless silence.

Why I'm reccing this fic: Maybe I'm twitchy because it's January, but this has such fantastic atmosphere and then a hot, hot sex scene, that it feels like a break from winter. It's the sex on the horizon like thunderclouds, and the sweetness at the end, and the great characterization. This is evidence, as if any was needed, that stop_drop_porn is brilliant, and so is j_s_cavalcante
By now, it’s like having a bullet inside somewhere that can’t be removed. The ache is there, but it gets covered over, and some days Ray even forgets about it, especially on days when Fraser almost gets him killed and there’s running and shooting and perps on the loose, and after all that, a fuckload of paperwork.
But eventually Ray goes home to his empty apartment and his turtle, and neither one of them has anybody here to cuddle up to. Ray doesn’t know how turtles can cuddle, but he figures they do whatever works for them.
The lights flicker again, but don’t go out, and there’s a bright flash from the windows, and bang! Yup. There’s the thunder. Finally.

Why I'm reccing this fic: I don't actually have a priest kink. But this made me think that maybe I should.
“You left.” The words were faint as a breath, but Ben stiffened under his hand. Thick black lashes dipped, covered those blue eyes. In the harsh lamplight, Ray could see the color washing over Ben’s cheeks, could feel the heat radiating from his face.
He leaned down and kissed Ben’s warm cheek.
Ben’s eyes snapped open.
“You never let me say goodbye.” Ray’s fingers slid through Ben’s hair, smoothly circumscribing the arc of his skull, teasing the short hair at the nape of his neck, slipping beneath the high collar. Ben’s skin was hot against his chilled fingertips, damp and so fucking soft.
