Vecchio! *adores* I could talk forever about all the things I adore him for, but I think belmanoir's list pretty much covers it. So I'll just give that a big WORD, and do a picspam instead:

( Every man should have some je ne sais quoi. *nods* )

I adore Vecchio. In catwalksalone's fic " Trample Down Barbed Wire," there's a line, "Ray's heart does the skip, hop, jump thing he's taken to thinking of as his Vecchio-murmur." Yep, I've got one of those. But trying to explain why in any kind of comprehensive way would involve me making you watch the entirety of Seasons 1 and 2 and CotW1, and then every ( Read more... )

Why I'm reccing this fic: This fic gave me something I never, ever knew I needed until I read it, and then I was completely blown away--Vecchio on the quest. It's from the POV of some scientists who run into the boys while they're all ( Read more... )

Title: Four Men In Three Boats

Rating: PG13
Length: 8 minutes
Why I'm reccing this fic:

I'm back with more Death, Near-Death, After-Death, and Not-Really-Dead stories. I'll start with the heaviest angst pieces, and move on to the happy ones by the end.

( Breaking, Too Late for Dreams, Dysmas, An Incident Along a Poorly Guarded Border, After )

This challenge was difficult. "Fics of my Heart"? I can't even narrow it down to 10. I could give you a list of my top 50. Eventully I decided to hold it to stories that haunt me.

People have been saying that a dS renaissance is underway and I think that's apparent in the quality, brilliancy, depth and, uh, porniness, of the stories that have gone up since May. It's a great idea to run this challenge for two weeks - otherwise we might not be able to fit everything in :-) I'm going to start us off with three beautifully- ( Read more... )

Why I'm reccing this fic:

Written for the rayk97s lyric challenge, this story takes a long, hard look at Ray's life as he sees it. He's divorced, approaching middle-age, and he's struggling with his sexuality and a fairly weighty case of the blues. There is a happy ending, but along the way ( Read more... )
