Tell me again, why do I need one of these things?

Happy Birthday (slightly belated) to mardahin! Here is some ad-hoc-ish fic for you. Still, it's better than last year's one, I think.

Title: Sunbeams out of Cucumbers but the Process Is Tedious
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: slightly debatable PG-13
Wordcount: 1400ish words
Author's Note: I've been reading Bizarre Books again, which provided me with the incredible:

Sun-beams may be extracted from cucumbers, but the process is tedious. An oration, pronounced on the fourth of July 1799. At the Request of the citizens of New Haven

And don't you want to know the story behind that?

Slightly More Representative Quote Than Usual (for those that remain unconvinced):

He’d talked to Fraser hours ago, and it was like they had nothing to say because they’d communicated by freaking telepathy so long, they’d forgotten what their mouths were for. Besides licking weird shit and blowjobs and kissing, obviously, those they were still good with, because, except the first, they were just more telepathy.

In other news, we live in interesting times, with not one, but two good dark Vegas Vecchioes on our doorstep.

Hard Guy by lucifercircle
460 word look at a Vecchio in Vegas faced with drowning in compromise or sleeping with the fishes...

Cheat by the always extrodinary marcellapolman
5900 words of an incredibly well thought out Ray who isn't at all glad to see Fraser in COTW. Cynical, desperate and using with that added touch of deep denial. And so very painfully real and well thought out with regard to motivation and character.
