Fanfic Meme - Day 21
Saturday, August 28th, 2010 08:38 amDay 21. A fic currently stuck in your head
I'm going to cheat a little, because the one really stuck in my head is one I have not been able to locate for a month now. I was sure I had first read it on ds_recs, a lj comm that was active for a year (by design). I've searched the whole comm, and googled till I'm blue in the face, but no luck. It's Due South, and I thought it was called "Less a Day." Fraser is sent to jail for a term that is one year less a day, so he can stay in the County lock up instead of going to the State Prison (this is the leniency part of his sentence). It opens with him getting ready to leave (I think?) He had only allowed Ray to visit once a week, and when he gets out, he finally breaks down and cries. The back story of how he came to be in jail is woven through the current day, and as it unfolds, it just makes my heart ache and my fists clench. But alas, I cannot find it, because I'm terrible about bookmarking, and also because I'm almost never in the mood to read something so heart-rending.
So I will link to Regina Revolts by theodosia
Because! Whenever I want to reread this one, I think, "hey, where's that one where Ray is 'the hot guy in the dress' and his panties don't match?" I kid you not, those are the very words every single time! And without the title, this is very hard to do a fic search on. LOLZ
No one in the story points out to Ray that his panties don't match - it's my own commentary. I remember being scandalized that he'd choose those panties with that outfit because my little bit of OCD requires that underthings must always match the outfit. Ray and Fraser, for reasons that don't need exploring at this or any other juncture, are going undercover in drag, and the entire story is the scene of Ray getting ready. It's delightful.
