Author: Desiree Armfeldt
Title: Tardiest Explorers
Fandoms: due South
Characters: Benton Fraser, Ray Kowalski (I wrote this with slash-colored goggles but it doesn't strictly have to be)
Rating: Gen
Length: 1430 words
Angst-to-hope ratio: Low
Disclaimer: I didn't create these characters, I don't own them, I derive no profit from their use.
Summary: Ray writes to Fraser about the discovery of the Franklin ship.
Bookkeeping Notes: Counts towards Complexity Theorist (also fills "communication" and "do-over").

ETA: Now with two prequels by me at ds-snippets, and a sequel by bbghost at fan-flashworks!

( Tardiest Explorers )

Title: Enough Rope
Fandom: Leverage
Rating: R
Length: 311
Content notes: Includes kinks, including bondage. Also includes vague references to past canon-like experiences that make it difficult to trust someone enough to try bondage with.
Author notes: For fan-flashworks for the Exploration challenge. Also for this prompt at comment-fic: Leverage, Eliot/Quinn, bondage (with accompanying trust issues)
Summary: Quinn wants to explore bondage with Eliot.

( Fic here.... )
