icepixie: (Fraser/Thatcher horseback)
[personal profile] icepixie
Soooo. I haven't read much fic in the past year or so. I'd forgotten what a fic bender is like.

Yeah, I've been trawling the Due South archive, LJ comms, mailing list archives, etc. for the past four days. I've been reading a lot of gen, because I love teh funny in this show, but I've also been wading through some Fraser/Thatcher stuff. (99% of the time I'm all over canon ships/canon UST like scum on a pond, white on rice, gel on Fraser's hair, or any other similie you care to name, so it was inevitable. And they are kind of cute. Okay, a lot cute. Hee, Mountie love!) Although I'm totally seeing the slash between Fraser and both Rays, so this show may make a multishipper out of me yet. (And I can still, in some twisted recess of my mind, get behind Thatcher/Turnbull. Frannie/Turnbull is pretty amusing too.)

Needless to say, if anyone has recs, I'm all ears. I'm up for casefiles, little bits of humor, stylistic pieces, plotty pieces...whatever. I'm avoiding the really glurgy, flowery stuff and the NC-17, but beyond that, I don't care.

Speaking of DS, today is my birthday, which means I got to open my DS seasons one and two boxsets yesterday when my parents I did the whole cake and presents thing. Wheee! (OMG, I'm 23. I feel ancient.)

I watched "We Are the Eggmen" last night. (I'm totally going to go in order now that I've seen that one. I kept seeing references to it in the fic I was reading [see above about the Mountie love], and I was curious.) Hee. I love when Fraser saves Meg from her dinner with Clouthier: "Your car. It's...on fire. It's burning away, and all of the other cars feel threatened." And saving the day by throwing raw eggs! Hee!

This show is so giggle-inducing. Good for a birthday.

Okay, so obviously I was a Fraser/Kowalski but since you seem pretty either/or about it, I did a sort of primer for my lj memories of my favs (http://josephides.livejournal.com/193149.html). Hope that's helpful!

This is probably the most I've commented in anyone's journal for about two years lol.

Needless to say, if anyone has recs, I'm all ears.

I have quite a few DS recs in my memories under "fic recs", though I think most of them either hint at or are totally obviously Fraser/RayK. Gunslinger is pretty gen, and highly amusing, albeit kinda short. With Six You Get Eggroll is Fraser/RayK, but there are no dirty bits, and the kids are adorable (Fraser and Ray adopted 6 of them for a number of different reasons). On that same note, anything by Speranza (http://trickster.org/speranza/) is extremely good, but again with her being mostly Fraser/RayK centric, and there usually are dirty bits, but I tend to skip right over those parts because I'm weird and hate reading smut for shows I actually watch. There's plenty of plot without the sex in most cases. :)

(OMG, I'm 23. I feel ancient.)
That was totally me on the first. And the several days leading up to/after it. 23 really isn't old, but I can't help but think "Dude, 23 and never a serious boy friend. Wow, I suck."
And, add to the fact that I am quite literally hobbling around like an old lady today thanks to that stupid snow storm and digging Coyote from his snowy tomb, the whole "old" thing is quite fitting.

What does that make me? Has someone forgotten to notify me that I'm knocking on heaven's door?

I'm glad you've had an excellent birthday--and I see you found ways to acquire the DS discs (and that it didn't take any too long for you to decide to get them!). ;)
