Why this must be read: There's a ton of post-CotW fics in the Due South fandom. It's one of the most popular "sub-genres" of dS fanfic. A sub-sub-genre (errr...yeah) is the "post-CotW, Fraser and Ray are back in their respective countries and miserable without each other" fic. This is one of those, but with a twist involving Fraser's dead uncle who is determined that his nephew not meet his same fate.

"So?" he says, "Come on. What the hell is going on? Who are you?"

The guy tilts his head to one side, and Christ, this is gonna kill Ray, because that’s familiar too. "I’m madness," he says, "I’m slow death. I’m thirty winters alone in the ice and visions that make no sense. I’m caution. I’m the wrong road. I’m regret."

~~~ also ~~~

Fraser licks his lips again. He can’t seem to lift his gaze higher than the middle of Ray’s chest. There’s a long pause and it could go either way, and Ray’s stomach feels like it’s getting turned inside out.

Then Fraser clears his throat. "I want so much from you," he says, like it’s a warning.

If you're an angst fan--if you love when the author shoves your heart into your throat, you'll love this fic.

Note: Sprat rates this story "explicit", which I've translated into NC17.
