Due South

	"The Song Cycle" was nominated for a DueCredit Award in the "Best Fraser/Ray V. Story" Category. "Last Night of the World" was nominated separately for "Best Slash NC-17 Story". "First Time" (further down the page) was nominated in both "Best Romance" and "Best Slash NC-17 Story", and I was nominated for "Best Author"! Wow... pretty cool, huh? :-)))

The Song Cycle

• #1 How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?
  An angsty monologue Song Challenge, basically M/M in theme, but no action, leaving it at I guess a PG rating. It's a downer, the "h" of the h/c, but it ain't over yet....
• #2 The Beat Of A Different Drum
  A sequel to the above, but probably can be read alone. PG-rated M/M again. Benny's turn this time-- more of a resolution, but not much.
• #3 On My Own
  Sequel to the above. PG-rated M/M again. What could be better than watching them angst one at a time? How about both together? <vwg> Cliff-hanger-from-hell at the end-- so I did the next part within 24 hours to save my own skin.
• #4 Blue Moon
  Sequel to the above. PG-rated M/M. _Finally_! Resolution, I promise. Angst gives way to happiness, hurt to comfort, and all is right with the world. *The End*!
  ...so why are they still here in my head...?
• #5 Living in the Real World
  Sequel to the above. O.K., if you like your Happily-Ever-Afters nice and neat and fading out on that sunrise by the lake, go away now and read no more, my child. <g> PG-rated M/M. Happiness gives way to a dose of reality...
• #6 Clutching at a Dream
  Sequel to the above. PG-rated M/M. Well if you went for "Living in the Real World," you'll need to keep going by now, I suspect... <vwg> You know what Benny thinks Ray's thinking... is he right? (What do _you_ think? ;-)
• #7 Libera Me
  Sequel to the above. PG-rated M/M (by reference only). The boys take a break while Ma Vecchio has her moment.


• #8 Last Night of the World
  Sequel to all of the above. NC-17-rated M/M Yup, this is the DSX post. They both know it can't last, but if all they can have is this one night together....
  [Last Night of the World-- DIEF Version-- This is the cut (~1/2 length), R-rated, DIEF-list version.]
• #9 What I Did For Love
  Sequel to all of the above. (We've even got a name for them now!) Back to the PG-rated M/M angst. The next morning....
• #10 Angel of the Morning
  [We're in *double-digits*??? Somebody shoot me... <sigh>]
  Sequel to all of the above. PG-rated M/M angst. The next morning... from the other side.
• #11 Matchmaker, Matchmaker
  Sequel to all of the above. PG-rated M/M angst. Mama takes things into her own hands... <vwg>
• #12 Finis
  Sequel to all of the above. PG-rated M/M angst. The wrap-up. The end...
  (at least until they start at me again! ;-)

Stand-Alones

• Interpretations
  Just got to watch "The Blue Line" and realized I bloopered in this one, Fraser apparently already knows how to sign. Or maybe he just _understands_ it... *yeah*... that'll work.... <vbg>)
• Mukluks Featured in a Corner...
  I was recently (and inadvertently) reminded that my first ever DS fic was actually posted to DSX last summer. It's a little R-rated M/M FK/DS Crossover joke... (Consider yourself warned!)

• Bennie, The Red-Clad Mountie
  I stand by my original intro on this: "Oh Goddess. I am *sooooooooo* sick. I am _such_ a sick puppy!" Evidence of what too much holiday stress and sugar can do to an otherwise quite sane person....
• First Time
  A DSX quickie that came to me while working on the Song Cycle. R-rated M/M.

• Truth or Dare: The Round Robin
  Yup, there I am doing Part #2 [and we're already working on the next one, I just did #3 of that!]. Dyevka's posting them on her page as they're written. R-rated M/M (not in my part, but we do get there, eventually ;-).

• The Second Round Robin (unfinished)
  Did Part #3 on this one (talk about your killer hand-offs too! :-p). Dyevka's posting them on her page more-or-less as they're written. R-rated M/M (again-- not in my part, but we do get there, eventually ;-).

• The Partytime, Giggling, Weaving, Babbling, Dizzy, Muddle-Headed, Fevered, So You Can Snicker Mountie
  An insane little bit of silliness on the theme of "What would happen if you got Benny really, really, *really* drunk???"
  Sorry! I've promised it to Celeste for her That's Just Silly Zine.

• Box of All Things Precious: Broken Compass
  Fraser reminisces about a poignant moment in his youth. (This was part of a invitational challenge offered by Karen Ransdell.)

(Look out everyone. My Muse is back and she's on speed... ;-)
