Full disclosure:  I'm a fan.
Pairings: Fraser/Kowalski
Styles and strengths:  kindkit has a real gift for the bittersweet, striking a fine balance between angst and happy.  The character voices are excellent, and thereis a distinct presence of the wit and feel of the show.
Other DS/C6D activity:  None, althought there are many other stories in a variety of fandoms.

Some favorites:

Perfection in the Work

This is a longtime Fraser/Kowalski favorite of mine.  It explores the relationship that Fraser and Ray are determined to build, in spite of the challenges.  What I appreciate the most is that this is one in which both characters are sacrificing their geographical preferences to be together, and it handles the difficulties realistically, but with that bittersweetness I already mentioned. A true standout. 

 Five Confessions  I love an author who's brave enough to leave things unresolved.  This is a piece that is both heart-breaking and hopeful. 

The Disappointment  Here we have the Renfield Turnbull that we all know (and some of us love).  I dare say this is one of the best uses of a flashfiction challenge I've read. 

All About the Hat  Sometimes there's nothing more fun or sweet than a good crush.  This story is delightful, full of affection and hope.
