only goin' one way: DUE SOUUUTTHHH

[sab]

So where's the really good, snowy, huddled-together-for-warmth, find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea post-"Call of the Wild" fic?

It's like 80 degrees here and suddenly I'm in the mood. I've never read any post-COTW, so whatever you rec me is bound to be the Right Stuff.

SAB!

I am overcome enough I don't know where to begin, but to start: eeeeeeeeee!

If you've written post-COTW you are morally and legally obligated to share the link/s with me right now.

Yeah. Fraser. Mmmmm. *wibble*

When I stop and think about it, I think all the post-CotW stuff I've written has been either *after* the adventureness all happened or just as a couple paragraphs in a bigger story.

But! Recs!

trickster,org isn't loading for me, so you don't get links to Res or Ces's pages (Ces has a *lovely* one that actually takes place between catching Muldoon at the end of CotW and when Ray and Fraser actually leave on their adventure), but here are a couple stories that come up first thing for me when I think quest fic:

O My America (http://www.dueslash.com/archive/69.html) by laurakaye
The Better Angels (http://www.squidge.org/dsa/archive/romance/betterangels.html) by thisisbone and cimmerians
Sliding (http://www.sageness.com/sliding.htm) by sageness
Loving North (http://www.squidge.org/dsa/archive/4/lovingnorth.html) by resonant8
In Which Ray Kowalski Embarks on an Adventure (http://www.squidge.org/dsa/archive/1/inwhich.html) by arallara

And, um, this technically counts in your description? But even though it's an awesome story, it's pretty much the textbook definition of ... not comfy and warm and curl-up-in-able. End of the Road by katallison

Oh! And plus I was going to say Punk's Verse Chorus Verse (http://runpunkrun.livejournal.com/125202.html), but I don't think I have to link you to Punk's fic, right? (http://www.katallison.com/eotr_main.htm)

I can't remember how post-CotW this is, but it is definitely post-CotW, and it is definitely awesome. (And 650k, which is virtually unheard of in these days of the LiveJournal flashfic.)

Oh, the link -- !

This is GREAT. I'm so printing these out and sitting in the sun and imagining I'm in the snow.

And I will check Res and Ces's pages on trickster when it's back up -- what's the name of the Ces story you mentioned?

Thank you thank you thank you and yay for tracing one warm line through our land so wild and savage!
