Summary: Suddenly spending Christmas Eve stuck in Calgary International doesn’t sound so bad.
Notes: My eternal love and gratitude to [livejournal.com profile] akaminechan, who beta'd this not only once, but twice, and offered endless encouragement as I worked up the nerve to post. More love and gratitude to [livejournal.com profile] j_s_cavalcante for her sage advice and suggestions, numerous grammar fixes, and for the scan of the coin at the end. You gals rock the house!

And just to prove I wasn't lying about the coin:

Author: [livejournal.com profile] nos4a2no9
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length: 2,160 words
Summary: Fraser’s having a tough time putting it all into words.
Author’s Note: Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ignazwisdom, [livejournal.com profile] arrow00, and [livejournal.com profile] j_s_cavalcante for providing excellent advice and editing suggestions, and to [livejournal.com profile] qe2 for her kind words and support. Those of you who might think four betas is excessive clearly don’t understand my deep, abiding problems with grammar, tense and punctuation. Would that we all had Michael Chabon’s grasp of language.

Inspired by the prompt: On swimming to the library at the heart of the world.

Sex, Fraser has discovered, is difficult to write about. )

Title: Now Lie in It
Author: [livejournal.com profile] nos4a2no9
Pairing: Ray/Ray (with mentions of F/V, F/K and F/V/K)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 4200 on the button
Notes: Many thanks to the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] jamethiel_bane for a swift and thorough beta. She saved me from POV slip-ups and talked me out of putting everything in italics. And to [livejournal.com profile] china_shop, who many moons ago supplied me with a prompt for a F/K/V story: "It's only a mistake if you don't like it." Here's the finished product - the prompt remains the same even if the pairing is a little different.
Summary: The worst kind of mistakes are the ones you really like.

First line taken from [livejournal.com profile] keerawa's sweet and funny story The Christmas List. Just to warn you ahead of time, this story isn't sweet and funny. You might want to hunt down and read [livejournal.com profile] keerawa's story as a chaser.

Ray knocked loudly on the door. )

Title: Keep Passing Open Windows
Author: [livejournal.com profile] nos4a2no9
Rating: A for Adult Themes
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Notes: Thanks to the great [livejournal.com profile] omphale23 for doing the beta thing on this story ages ago. I never got around to posting it because I suspect I was waiting for this challenge. The title comes from a [misquoted] line of dialogue in John Irving's Hotel New Hampshire: "Keep passing open windows. Stop at a window and you may decide to jump out."
Warning: This story deals with domestic violence. It's not explicit but it's there, and forewarned is forearmed and such.

Word Count: 1450

For the first time in his life he cannot recall the specific date when something momentous occurred, only that many small moments blended into one another and the shape of the world changed. )
