First DS fic posted: 2008
Full disclosure: Petra and I are friends and frequent betas and I adore her writing beyond words. I am so far from unbiased, I'm in another country. Possibly another planet. *g*
Pairings: Fraser/Kowalski, Fraser/Victoria. Geoffrey/Darren, Geoffrey/Ellen, Geoffrey/Oliver. Hope/Curtis, Hope/Newbie. Various threesomes.
Style and strengths: Petra writes Due South fic like very few other people have dared, using supernatural, comics, and fantasy tropes as much for humor as psychological horror. She's written crossovers with DC Comics (RayK and Fraser meet Nightwing and a crossdressing undercover Robin in Bludhaven) and Bear & Monette's A Companion to Wolves, where RayK and Fraser are bonded to wolves who battle trolls. She's also played with the sex pollen, de-aged character, and wingfic cliches in ways that are alternately charming and deeply disturbing, and yet always remain true to the characters. Meanwhile, in Slings and Arrows, Petra brings a thorough knowledge of the theater to create backstory. Her pre-series fics are long, often hilarious, sometimes emotionally harrowing, and wonderfully theatrical.
Other DS/C6D activity: Petra has written extensively in Slings and Arrows, as well as some utterly charming Twitch City fic.
Some favorites:
No fretful orchid - (6800 words, adult) the sex pollen fic. ( excerpt )
Follow without pride - (800 words, adult) wherein Fraser leaves with Victoria. ( excerpt )
Inclusively players - (15,000 words, adult, Geoffrey/Darren) Geoffrey and Darren codirect and costar in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead while roommates at university. ( excerpt )
Five ways Hope didn't convince Curtis and Newbie to have a threeway - (500 words, PG-13, Hope/Curtis/Newbie) - adorable OT3 fic. ( excerpt )
