Just finished: Spring Thaw (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/dSSS_2010/works/139180) Things I liked about it: Ray's realizations. The slowest kiss in the history of the universe, and liking it al fresco. The happy ending.
Just finished: Wise Guy (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/dSSS_2010/works/139150) Things I liked about it: Dewey and Welsh both recognizing the Ray and Ray show as the Rays' mutual attraction. Welsh's home run of a zinger. A perceptive and likable Dewey.
Just finished: Outer Space Is a Lovely Place (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/dSSS_2010/works/140057) Things I liked about it: Ray being his own weirdness magnet. The amazing Ray voice (Fraser was his best friend and Ray had never once in his life learned how not to be in love with his best friend). Ray and Fraser in his office...hot and heartbreaking.
Just finished: In a Strange Land (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/dSSS_2010/works/139894) Things I liked about it: Alien!Fraser and Alien!Dief, from "Canada" and their boss playing the role of Dead!Bob. How the author takes parts of DS canon ("I came to Chicago..," Dead!Bob. The Tongue. Dief's deafness) and fits them into their undercover operation, from the cover story to maintaining their "disguise." Alien!Dief going native. The sheer crackiness.
Just finished: All Directions are South, All Signs Point to Yes (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/dSSS_2010/works/139928) Things I liked about it: George taking Fraser's side on going up to Grise Ford. The mix of old (Innusiq's carving) and new (Magic 8 Ball). Fraser's hunger to hear the Inuit stories, because those stories are a part of the Fraser we see.
