luzula: a Luzula pilosa, or hairy wood-rush (Default)
My due South/C6D Big Bang contributions! Yay! Check out the whole collection over here.

Title: Unsent
Author: [personal profile] nos
Fandom: Wilby Wonderful
Pairing: Dan Jarvis/Duck MacDonald
Rating: R
Length: 3 h 16 m 24 s
Author's summary: After his failed suicide attempt, Dan Jarvis is struggling to put his life back together and overcome the depression that has haunted him for years. He finds a peaceful haven in the arms of Duck MacDonald, but soon old echoes of the past, as well as a disturbing series of hate-filled letters, threaten Dan’s fragile new life and his romance with Duck.

Podfic post at AO3 (more notes there).

This one was a pleasure to read. Dan reads as pretty low-key to me, and it was interesting to try to make the reading nuanced while still staying in this quiet, restrained register. There are a few times when I do raise my voice, and it really stands out against the rest of the reading, I think. Listening to it afterwards, I sound a little bit like [personal profile] malnpudl to myself? Not that she's always low-key or anything, but there's something about my phrasing here that reminds me of her for some reason.

Title: To Strive, To Seek, To Find
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: R
Length: 22,200 words
Summary: A story where Fraser is asexual, Fraser and Kowalski do a lot of relationship negotiation, and they also fall into Lake Michigan while in pursuit of miscreants.

Story post at AO3 (more notes there).

This story started its life as a kinkmeme prompt that I left myself. And then I wrote a Big Bang story about it. *g* In the meantime, [archiveofourown.org profile] Sock_Marionette and [livejournal.com profile] desiree_armfeldt also wrote stories inspired by the prompt. I didn't read them all while writing, because I didn't want to interfere with the writing of this story, but I can read them now!

I am...mostly pleased with this story, I think, although I'm probably too close to it now to be able to judge well. I don't think it's one of my best, but it's not bad, either, and I am proud to have finished it. Writing long stories is hard--this is my longest one ever, in fact--and I'm looking forward to doing some short ones now. Maybe some flashfic before I tackle a long WIP again?

Just re-posting my Big Bang fic on DW, for archiving redundancy purposes. Originally posted on AO3.

Title: To Strive, To Seek, To Find
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski (and also Stella/Ray V)
Rating: R
Length: 22,200 words
Summary: A story where Fraser is asexual, Fraser and Kowalski do a lot of relationship negotiation, and they also fall into Lake Michigan while in pursuit of miscreants.
Notes: Written for the 2012 due South/C6D Big Bang. This story started its life as a prompt on a kinkmeme (my own prompt, in fact). Which is to say, I have now written a Big Bang story to fill my own prompt. *g* I am grateful to my cheerleaders and betas [personal profile] springwoof, [livejournal.com profile] desiree_armfeldt, [personal profile] primroseburrows and [personal profile] podfic_lover!

This story is AU in that the CotW epilogue never happened, so no quest, no moving to Florida, etc. It's probably also a bit AU in Victoria's Secret, although I don't really flesh out what happened there.

Also, do check out the lovely cover that Tatau made for the story!
