Technically, this takes place entirely in the dark, because it's Fraser's POV while he's in the coffin in "Dead Men Don't Throw Rice."

( Coffin Talk )

Many thanks to

justacat for the rigorous beta!

I feel rather sheepish posting this thing here, because it is a complete and total piece of self-indulgence--a coda to another story of mine, The End of the Road. (If you haven't waded through that one, the only background you need to know is Fraser and RayK try to make a life together in Inuvik after CotW, it doesn't work out, Ray goes back south, and Fraser transfers to a remote Arctic single-member detachment called Holman.) Anyway, this came into my head when I was thinking about the Darkness challenge, and it refused to go away. Um, it's over the word limit, too. Apologies all around. *g*

Okay. Because I am at heart a lazy person, I'm going to link together the six challenges I missed into six connected pieces of one fic, which should also be able to stand alone as separate fics. I am not at present sure how I am going to accomplish this. When they're all posted, you will be able to hop from one to the other via links at the bottom of each page. Oh, yes, and the usual warnings for language and slash. Not fer kiddies, kiddies.

Here goes. First, for the Darkness Challenge:

( Head Trip I: Darkness )

(631 words)

Next: Head Trip II: Door

Current Music: Duke Ellington, Sugar Rum Cherry

Lights out on the Darkness Challenge; you can find the 19 responses archived here.

New challenge coming up.

Edited to conform with the English language as it is technically written. Sigh.

588 words. This is my first RayK-free story, and I'm feeling a little stressed out. But I saw this episode on Thursday that made me want to write angsty porn. Although, looking at linoleum makes me want to write angsty porn. Anyway.

( we all begin with good intent )

625 words Another dream-inspired story, probably from watching the trailer for LOTR III half a dozen times yesterday...

Current Mood: cold
Current Music: Stan Rogers to get into the right frame of mind

Sneaking in just after the technical deadline.... (As Douglas Adams used to say, I love the whooshy noise they make as they go speeding by.)

( To Light A Fire )

about 2100 words.

I don't usually write sap and sex... (actually, I don't think I have ever written sap and sex...anyway) but this fic was screaming to be written *this* week.

Word count = 996

( Finally )

This ran a bit over the wordcount maximum; I hope you'll all forgive. Many many thanks to

sihayab for making this as good as it is. ( 1574 )

from

chesamus because her entry gave me an idea. (Hope you don't mind, Ches!)

This is a small interlude that fits in near the end of Vegas Blood in my Chicago Series posted over on dueSlash. I understand that the likelihood of Las Vegas having such a massive power outage is probably close to nil. Ah well, c'est la vie. Or le mort, as the case may be. ;o) Creeping in at 795 words.

A tiny chocolate truffle for the challenge. Many thanks to

kassrachel for giving it a once-over and making several excellent suggestions for improvement. Short, sappy, sweet. 271 words.

This story was actually started during the cliche challenge, but I couldn’t figure out where it was going so I let it brew for a bit. 1117 words.

( Wait until Dark )

Current Mood: I have a cold
Current Music: Cailleachs Whisper by David Arkenstone

All right. So I originally started writing this for the Porn challenge back in September. I had a nice, light fic idea in my head. I started writing it, it got away from me, and turned real dark. Seems apt for this challenge. I think I’ve watched “The Ladies Man” too much. This is set right afterwards, with Ray still dealing with the aftermath of the Beth Botrelle case.

( Until It Sleeps )

suaine.livejournal.com

Remember that story with the movies? You all liked Lizzy so much and wanted more of her. Remember that veiled reference to nightmares and her real parents? Lizzy remembers. She said this needs to be told, or else she'll never get over it. Lizzy also went through a lot of counseling after the events in this fic...

( Darkness - 507 words - R for psychological trauma )

This is part of Lizzy's bigger, lighter story I'm working on. Don't worry, we all already know how it ends.

Current Mood: anxious

Posting this for MoonPuppy, who is new to this community. Welcome, MoonPuppy!

I was dragged into this LJ thing by Ardent and Kellie - well, Ardent pimped
the LJ and Kellie pimped the fiction. Here's my first finished fic of any
kind in a long, long time. Posted courtesy of the lovely Ardent. 458 words.
