Ray Kowalski, July 1983.


This is my much belated entry for picfor1000. Many thanks to gurrier and _bounce_, for beta. Image is behind the cut. Het/Slash.

There was that 'Seven current favourite songs' meme going around for a bit, but I skipped it as some of my current seven favourite songs were uploaded in other music posts, so this is seven songs I enjoy.

1. You Sound Like Louis Burdett - The Whitlams. This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Energetic bluesy rock. (All my friends are fuck-ups, but they're fun to have around) Which really says it all.

2. Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall. Upbeat folk (rock). (I said/Don't look back, just keep on walking)

3. Jupiter - Gustav Holst. Classical. I have a real soft spot for all of The Planets.

4. The Story - 30 Seconds to Mars. I... don't just like them because I have this thing about Jared Leto. Really. I don't even care if liking them damages my indie cred. Enjoyable techno-rock. A Beautiful Lie may not be one the albums I'd take to a desert island, but it is one I listen to a lot around the house. (I've been thinking of everything/I used to want to be)

5. Santa's Going to Kick Your Ass - The Arrogant Worms. Because it's Christmas season, and this song makes me laugh. Grab it if you like the Worms, Christmas, angry reindeer, or if you haven't heard the Arrogant Worms.

6. Handshake - Metric. I've pimped Metric before. Low-fi indie. (Buy this car to drive to work/Drive to work to pay for this car)

7. Sweet Home Country Grammar - Skynard vs. Nelly. I have only recently discovered Mashups, and this one is probably my favourite. I know, I wouldn't have thought it would work, either.

Let's make this multimedia. Icon linkage as well. 20 Due South icons.



Down the streets, the weeks roll by...

Title: Bury It With You

Author: cherryice

Summary: Ray Kowalski, poco a poco.

Notes: This is a story about Ray Kowalski, and in its course contains RK&S friendship, RK/RV, RV/S, and RK/F. Written for brooklinegirl, who came through for me with a last-minute beta at one point. This is not the story she asked for, but hopefully it is acceptable. Beta by the wonderful estrella30.

So, am moving.

Will see you all whenever I get internet hooked up.

As a parting note:

Halo

Ray's first time. No, not that one.

Not that one either.

The bad news for me (and fantabulous news for everyone else) is that sprat also posted fic. Wonderful Ray/Ray that you can find here, that all five Due South people on my flist should go and read because they weren't going to read mine, anyway.


You all be good, now.

-- I don't have a test tomorrow morning. Really.

I wouldn't be making icons if I did, now would I?

Comment and enjoy. Credit is optional.

Every wondered what I look like when I'm stressed? I look like this.
(Which is a joke that works much, much better with people who can, you know, see me.

Anyway.

A question for the few due South people reading this: Is it common form and/or acceptable to post notices of flashfiction to ds_noticeboard? I was suggested to me by at least one person (and I feel terribly, but I don't remember who -- I'm not a blonde, really) but I don't see others doing it.

(Of course, most others write dS fic other than on ds_flashfiction, but.)



Passed Me By (due South)

Thanks To: qe2 for beta.

Comments: Would make my day.

What have I become, my sweetest friend?

( Passed Me By )

Two entries in one day. *Gasp, shock.*

Now, this? This is my first kick at the Due South fandom. For the 'ice' challenge at ds_flashfiction -- and my goodness, the people over there are kind.

Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated.
