Oh FUCK.

So I kept a list of books-to-check-out as a Gmail draft. I don't know why I did it that way, but that was obviously a bad way to do it because I accidentally deleted it, and now there is no way to get it back. Arrrrrrrgh. I dunno, this may not seem like a big deal, but I REALLY WANT THAT LIST BACK!!

So yeah. PSA: never keep important information in Gmail drafts.

ETA: I have partially reconstructed the list by going through my memory, the Tiptree award nominations lists for the last ten years, and Jo Walton's blog. But y'know, if you have books you think should be on my list, do tell me about them. : )

"Partners In Exile" (due South/Temeraire fic)

Re-posting my Big Bang for backup; originally posted at AO3.

Title: Partners In Exile
Fandom: due South/Temeraire
Characters: Benton Fraser & Diefenbaker, Ray Kowalski, Ray Vecchio, Bob Fraser, Buck Frobisher, original characters
Rating: PG
Length: 20,200 words
Summary: A retelling of the due South pilot as a Temeraire fusion: When Benton Fraser's father dies, he teams up with his father's dragon partner Diefenbaker and together they chase his father's killers to Chicago.

Notes: This is for Mergatrude, who wanted a modern-day due South/Temeraire fusion and told me I should write it. I doubt I would have written it without her! ♥

I am very grateful to my betas and cheerleaders: Keerawa read and gave feedback on an early version, and so did Mergatrude. Sage helped me brainstorm at one point. Most of all, Seascribe was with me all the way, reading new bits as I sent them to her, and Skyping with me to give me feedback. Finally, Malnpudl read the whole thing at the end and gave me valuable feedback. (I hope I didn't forget anyone!)

I am blessed with wonderful art by Mific for this story; do check it out! Wow, I love it so much. ♥
