10 Reasons to Hate Ray Kowalski (By Ray Vecchio) by china shop (NC-17)

Hi, I'm Cat and I'll be reccing Due South this month. Sorry about the late start, but I promise a variety of good stuff in the coming weeks, starting with a couple fabulous stories written for [livejournal.com profile] ds_seekritsanta

Fandom: Due South
Pairing: Ray Kowalski/Ray Vecchio
Author on lj: [livejournal.com profile] china_shop
Author Website: china_shop's fanfic/slash index
Why this must be read:

I used to think I was immune to Ray/Ray. I wanted to read it, all my favorite writers were writing it and I love both Rays equally and differently, but for whatever reason I just kept bouncing off of the fic. Turns out I was just waiting for the right Ray/Ray to come along.

Everything about this fic makes me insanely happy, such that I can't even articulate how perfect it is. I'm reduced to pointing and flailing and frantic admonitions just to "go! read!". Because really, it is perfect. It's everything I love about Due South all in one place, by turns funny and painful and achingly real, with just the right touch of magical realism to turn everything on it's head. [livejournal.com profile] china_shop's characters are all fabulous, but it's her Ray Vecchio here that inspires the most pointing and flailing. He's just so perfectly himself, but also so perfectly messed up; confused and struggling wit the return to a life he no longer recognizes learing to live in his own skin again.
