Hieroglyfics Recs

In which Fraser discovers a meeting taking place in his father’s office. Funny and sweet with impeccable characterization.

While on their quest, Ray and Fraser make a side-trip into the undiscovered country, so to speak. This story hits my magical realism kink; the representative of the afterlife seems like he’d have been perfectly at home in the show, and the denoument is perfectly logical and makes me happy.

For reasons that don’t need exploring at this juncture, Ray wakes up female. This genderfuck story is funny and hot, and the ending makes me dance with glee.

RayK/Frannie, RayK/RayV. While having sex with Frannie, Ray realizes to his dismay that it’s her brother he wants. A little more than a PWP, and scorchingly hot. I like Vecchio’s matter-of-factness. I had read this way back when I got into the fandom, loved it, but totally forgot what it was called or who had written it; all I remembered was that it involved Vecchio fucking Kowalski over the back of a couch. (I remember that sort of thing.)

Ray Vecchio/Irene Zuko. This is a vid based on the episode “Juliet is Bleeding”, and boy, does the song fit perfectly. I actually didn’t like the episode much - I found it too stiff, maybe, and too much like any cop show rather than good old quirky due South - and maybe that’s why I like this vid: it puts together all of the good parts, the strong emotion and the relationships and Ray Vecchio yay! And Irene Zuko! And angry glances between Ray and Frank!

Series. I vaguely remember when this was posted nearly a year ago, I looked at the description - alien kidfic - and ran very fast in the opposite direction. But then Giulietta listed it as one (or possibly three) of her stories she’d like people to read, so I read it (them) and was totally charmed. Fraser and Ray adopt - or perhaps are adopted by - an alien child who looks kind of like a Koosh ball. Crossover with Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but you don’t have to know anything about it to be entertained and have your heart strings tugged.

Teyla and Rodney (and the rest of the team) gen (offscreen Teyla/OMC), illustrated, art-format. Spoilers for McKay and Mrs. Miller - personally I don’t think they are huge spoilers, but if you haven’t seen the ep you might be confused by what Rodney’s sister calls him. Teyla and Jeannie strike up a correspondence. It’s a sweet, humorous, heartwarming look at family dynamics - both between Rodney and his sister, and among the members of Rodney’s team, who function more or less as a family.

A gen Firefly/Slings & Arrows crossover that fills me with glee! My knowledge of Firefly is basically from seeing Serenity, and I understood the story just fine. (If you don’t know S&A, you won’t get the full depth of the story, but you’ll still get it okay.)

I don’t actually like the song much, and at nearly 5 minutes it’s (IMHO) far too long, but the clip choices (and, er, partner choices) for each verse are brilliant, and the storyline is fabulous and funny. I mean, John/Kolya! John/Zelenka! John/Bimbo Of The Month! There’s even a flash of John/Hermiod, for crying out loud!
