There’s something about fics where Ray gets femmed up and railed really tickle my fancy. I just know he would love the embarrassment he feels at being called “pretty.” And thus, I present to you: The Art of Feminizing Ray Garraty, a collection of works focused on all things soft and pretty about our favorite thick white boy.

Good Girl by g4vries (2.3k words)

“Gonna be my good girl, Ray?”

It’s happened a few times now, Ray always too worked up to really process what he’s being asked but all he knows is that it feels good. It feels incredible. Ray’s in a state of mind where his brain was putty enough that all he could think about is wanting to be good for Pete, to be anything Pete wants him to be.

This was the fic that showed me the light. Before this, the idea of Ray being called a "good girl" had never even crossed my mind. I am forever grateful to this author for changing that.

Description:

JEDI ORDER MAINTAINS SILENCE

The Jedi Order has refused to comment on the contents of the intimate private messages shared between two of its members. The messages were released in what we now know was an attempt made by the former Senator Soki to distract from evidence of embezzlement and fraud in his office.

The messages between two Jedi, known as J#CH0ZN1 and J#0B1FKS, reveal a relationship that has been going on for many months. It is unknown whether the rest of the Order were aware of this relationship, and whether or not they approve.

Too Close for Comfort

Aaron/Robert (2026, Mature, 7.2k)

The million-pound question: did you shoot Robert Sugden? Robert wakes up from his coma on the 21st October 2015, only he's not in hospital. He's in HMP Hotten and he looks like Aaron Livesy.

We have a winner! Trope Tuesday it is, so this week is B for Bodyswap.

This trope is sadly under explored in the Emmerdale cinematic universe however we are lucky enough to have this recent little gem. Set during the Who Shot Robert storyline this fic is a fascinating exploration of Robert grappling with his feelings for Aaron, his mortality and whether or not he believes that Aaron could have been the one to shoot him.

It's twisted and gory and wonderful, a lovely midweek treat for you all!

Today's featured fic is "The Crane Punished, or Don Frasieranni" by @malachitegrey

----------------------- Read on ao3 ---------------------

“Go ahead, caller. I’m listening.”

“Er …” The low voice trailed off, then sighed with a great rush of breath and showed no signs of proceeding.

He flicked a glance to Roz, who was rolling her eyes, then leaned a bit closer to the microphone. “This is Dr. Frasier Crane. You’re on the air. Would you like to tell me why you called today?”

-------------------------- Read more on ao3 -------------------------

We encourage readers to engage with the fic as well. Comments are always appreciated, and we hope to foster a greater sense of interaction in the community.

Here are some ideas if you don't know where to begin:

What was your favorite moment? Was there a character, scene, or line that made you laugh? Smile? Cry? Did you connect with the author's style? Love the dialogue? The action?

Yeah, I dunno how to word this because it’s a mix of movies and TV series fusion and I don’t have enough of them to make it separately. BUT, I promise they’re gonna be awesome reads~

(I might be cheating a little because I can’t find those in my bookmarks and have recced those I searched for and found interesting to read.)

Legally Stiles by redhoodedwolf wc: 15393, ch: 7/7

Stiles took a moment to think this over. If he got into Harvard, he could win Lydia back. He'd show her how smart he really was, and that he was willing to go that extra mile for her to win her love back. "Okay," he breathed, feeling a large weight settle on his shoulders. "Let's do it." Scott cheered. "Awesome, dude. Let's go make the LSATs your bitch." 

(I will always be appalled and baffled that no one recs this fic enough. It’s an awesome read, I’ve read it twice and I’ll probably reread it again after this fic rec.)

The Awakening by Venezia wc: 15672, ch: 7/7

*Underworld AU*

Stiles is a vampire, part of an ancient coven of werewolf hunters. When he discovers the werewolves are planning another rebellion, he takes matters into his own hands to stop it. But this time, the werewolves are looking for someone, someone who will help them win the war and Stiles has to find them before the werewolves.

However, he didn't plan on uncovering a plot within his own coven to overthrow the vampires. Now, Stiles must stop the werewolves and the Elders that made him who he is. He also didn't count on Derek, Derek who is the lone carrier of the gene that could destroy both species or give one the upper hand in winning the battle that's been raging for centuries.

The Ship of Dreams by CharlotteV wc: 45902, ch: 8/8

Stiles Stilinksi was just looking for his next greatest adventure, risking everything in a game of life to get aboard the Titanic to go home. He wasn't sure where he would be after that. Washington, Maine, Colorado? Little did he know the next adventure he went on would be a lot closer to his heart...

Derek Hale DeWitt was just looking for a way to breathe again, to not feel the ever constant darkness around his heart. Despite fighting it, he can't help what a certain boy in third class does to him, and he wonders if it's worth it just to let fate run it's course...

Or, the one where our favorite couple was on the Titanic.

i think i wanna marry you by thegirlinthedress wc: 11176, ch: 4/4

"Derek knows about his reputation among his employees; that they think he's a workaholic and that he hates people. The first one might be true, but it's hardly a character flaw that he likes his job. Editor in chief is a huge responsibility, and not one that Derek takes lightly. He gets the results he wants, even if they come at the expense of his staff liking him. Derek's philosophy is that they don't have to like him, they just have to respect him and get their jobs done."

The Proposal AU I've always wanted an excuse to write.
