Author's notes:

Prompt fill for cruisedirector, who requested, "Anything with Fraser and both Rays. :)" I took considerable liberties with that "anything"!

This ficlet takes place in a strange little universe in which, at the beginning, no one is in a relationship with anyone (well, except for Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan).

It also takes place in a strange little universe in which people from the planet Seastar can visit the planet Earth, as long as they don't show off their cell phones or other advanced gadgetry.

due South folks, please let me know if I've made any egregious errors!

I 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!

Ship: Fraser/RayK, Moffitt/Dietrich

Author's note: Prompt fill for

ride_4ever, who requested a "Fusion prompt: due South characters in Rat Patrol AU. (Slash preferred.)" I spent a long time figuring out how to get these characters together, and this wound up being more of a Rat Patrol characters in due South kind of story--but there is definitely slash! Many thanks to Lorelei for cheerleading.

ride_4ever, who requested the fandom due South, pairing Fraser/Kowalski, with the prompts: aurora borealis, ice-road trucker, pemmican.
Fangirl squee note:This is my first original due South fic! I did a remix once of a Tin Man/due South story.
Notes on the music mentioned in the fic: The Stan Rogers song that Fraser begins with is "White Squall". I quite like Stan Rogers, but I find it depressing to listen to too many of his songs in a row."Joy of my Heart" is not by Stan Rogers, but his brother Garnet Rogers recorded a lovely version of it along with Archie Fisher.

There was an exciting news story a little while ago about the finding of the HMS Investigator, the ship that was sent out in the mid-1850's to try to find what became of Franklin, who was looking for the Northwest Passage:

In honor of this event, a song!

I know I have some folks on my f-list who are into curling, and some who are into BSG, and at least one or two who are into both! So tell me - is it just me, or does the Canadian skip look a lot like Michelle Forbes (Ro Laren on TNG, Admiral Cain on BSG)?

While watching the curling and hockey, I've been seeing the new Subway ads a lot. I like the version that starts with Cleopatra, especially when the cat lifts its paw for the "five," but I *love* the one I saw first, the one that starts with the Indian dancers looking like something out of a Bollywood picturization. Even the old guy in his study seems to fit, because he and especially his study look very Victorian-London, which also makes me think of India. I was initially hoping they were introducing a new curry-flavored sandwich!

I've seen other remix entries popping up here and there, so I'm guessing it's okay to cross-post!
