This being fandom, there are lots of other beloved canons out there, and sometimes they smish so beautifully with our show (Fraser's abilities plus The Sentinel, anyone?).

There is so much good fic out there by so many talented writers, that when I started looking for what to rec the sheer volume of excellence nearly made me cry. I'm ( Read more... )

Today's instalment of "fic that changed my fannish experience" concerns Ray Vecchio. I love Ray Vecchio. The thing is, I never shipped F/V, or V/K for that matter. F/K is my OTP, zomg!!eleventy!!!!11!! But ... in the right hands, F/V and V/K? Are awesome.
