Bedtime Story
One night in #discourse, lynnmonster wrote us all a bedtime story on the fly. A couple of nights later, she wasn't feeling up to it and I gave it a shot. It came out a lot longer than I realized. Anyway, here are the adventures of Little!Ray Kowalski. (G)

The Cop and The Mountie
My dear friend heuradys recently had a birthday. I wrote her this little Welsh and Turnbull adventure. These two together amuse me to no end. Hopefully, I'll write more with them. (PG, hint o' slash)

Another Departure
I read a great story by silverakira called Departure. As I was reading it, I suddenly saw the scene as I would have written it. I couldn't stop myself from writing out my own version of Fraser and Kowalski saying goodbye at the airport. By all means, read Zira's version too, or hell read all the stuff on her page. It's worth it. (PG)

Ficlets
Recently, there was a rash of short specific stories posted on quite a number of Livejournals because of a ficlet challenge meme. Basically, you post that you want challenges and people respond with a character or pairing plus a short sentence of dialogue that must be incorporated into the story. I've done a number of these for my friends. Most all of them are due South stories.

Cunning Plan
This was written for sister_wolf. She requested Fraser/Kowalski: "Possible? Are you saying my logic is flawed?" (PG, slash)

Stone
This was written for estrella30. She requested Welsh: "Why thank you, gentlemen. I've always wanted one of these." (PG)

Longer Pieces

Brother's Keeper (137 Kb)
This story was inspired by my Season One DVD's. Dean McDermott plays a bad guy in one of the episodes. Later on he became the goofy Constable Renfield Turnbull a semi-regular character on the show (and one of my favorites). I was surprised that there aren't that many stories connecting these two characters, so I did it in the most obvious way possible. Turnbull has an evil twin! (PG, language, violence)

Here's a taste:

Ray looked back and forth between Laurie and Fraser.

“You put Turnbull’s twin brother away?”

“It would appear so, Ray.”

“This is not a detail you forget, Fraser.”

“I’m sorry, Ray.”

Two Trucks, a Cop, and a Baby (60 Kb)
A piece I've been working on for a while. A little boy is abandoned at the Consulate and it's up to Turnbull to make things right with the help of Ray and Fraser. (PG)

Here's a taste:

Ren sat the boy on the table and opened the fridge. There was a container of apple juice in the back. He pulled the jug out and set it on the counter. Renfield stopped and frowned. Consulates were nice places, he thought, but they had a distinct lack of sippy cups. While he pondered a way to get the child some juice without making a mess, the boy watched him intently.

"Truck!" he said and pointed at Ren.

Turnbull looked at the boy in surprise. He looked down at himself and then at the red truck in the boy's hand. Oh, that was it.

The Misadventures of Renfield Turnbull, Canadian Private Eye (100 Kb)
The AU that started out a parody and turned into a mystery. The year is 1953 and Private Investigator Turnbull is pulled into a case of mystery, mayhem, and murder by a certain experimental blond. Can he solve the case before his client runs out of time? (PG-13, violence)

Extra! Read the DVD Commentary!

Here's a taste:

For some reason, the office still smelled like well-oiled leather and a hint of pine. It always made him think of home. The abutting desks faced each other in the center of the room. Ren’s desk was neat and tidy, as was the other. The only difference between them was the slight layer of dust that covered surface of the second desk. Normally, Ren was a compulsive cleaner. The very thought of dust made him shiver, but for some reason he just couldn’t bring himself to disturb the gray layer that covered Fraser’s desk. It seemed disrespectful. Of course, the rest of the office was spotless.

Ren’s eyes slowly came back around to the man half sitting, half leaning on his desk smoking a cigarette. Turnbull sighed and thought, "This would be a lot easier if Fraser was still around. I’m sure he’d know what to do with the experimental blond lounging on my desk."
