amediaI left detailed comments on fic, which is how I like to spread the joy! As a friend of mine recently said, feedback is like oxygen to writers. Or as another friend said many years ago, thoughtful feedback is like ice cream on a hot day. ♥
Here are links to the fics--well, three complete stories, one chapter of a WIP, and one poem--listed by fandom, plus brief non-spoilery comments along with the authors' summaries--you may find something that you'll enjoy, too!
Click for links to Garrison's Gorillas, Guardian, Due South, and Rat Patrol works.
Garrison's Gorillas, "The Cold Wind of Change" by arnie1967: https://archiveofourown.org/works/13459323/chapters/30853791 Gen. An excellent mix of humor and feels, with spot-on characterizations.
Author's Summary: What happened when the 'duration and six months' were over?
Guardian, https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/69006966. "March" by leoandlancer. Slash, Guo Changcheng/Chu Shuzhi. Warning: This one is a WIP and only the first part is available! It starts off with a bang and I do hope the author continues it.
Author's Summary: Guo Changcheng is attacked and left for dead, drenched in the rain and reeling under a curse laid over him. Cold and hurt and terrified, Guo realizes that he's just the first victim of a Dixingrian who's power reveals inner natures, and begs Shen Wei not to let the curse spread to the others in the SID. Triggering the curse to keep the others safe, Guo is transformed from human to animal and scooped up by Chu Shuzhi. The hunt is on to find the Dixingian responsible before any more of the SID falls prey (in more ways than one).
Guardian, https://archiveofourown.org/works/28177572. "The Belly of the Beast Needs Scritches" by tehfanglyfish. Slash, Guo Changcheng/Chu Shuzhi, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan. This story is freakin' hilarious and a lot of the humor rises naturally from who the characters are and how they normally behave. I love it to pieces!
Author's Summary: In which Guo Changcheng gets a dog, Zhao Yunlan and the Black-Cloaked Envoy get found out, and Chu Shuzhi gets a promising future.
Due South, https://archiveofourown.org/works/21728758. "Kinbaku-bi" by ride_4ever. Slash, Fraser/Kowalski. An exquisite poem about love and bondage and beauty.
Author's Summary: Fraser in canon has rope-tying skills. Here he puts shibari skills to use with Kowalski, and for them it's kinbaku.
Rat Patrol, https://archiveofourown.org/works/26081398 "The Entire Barking Mob Raid" by Murasaki99. Gen. A rollicking desert adventure, an eerily satisfying ghost story, a tale of a truce between Dietrich and the Rats, so many good things wrapped up in one! Especially if you like horses. Or airplanes. Or Sasanid Commanders of Cataphracts.
Author's Summary: An outbreak of contaminated water has everyone falling ill, including Dietrich’s unit, who had resupplied their water from the town a week earlier. Dietrich decides the only thing to do is move the entire town and his own company to a secluded spot deeper in the desert and hope they all survive. Mind you, he hadn't planned on having to move the whole town, but tackled the problem with typical efficiency. And then the Rat Patrol shows up, because God has a sense of humor and just because you are dealing with a plague doesn't mean you can't have another complication added to your plate.
