My last rec for the month. Hope you've enjoyed them! Ciao.

Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Author on LJ: chesamus

Why this must be read: Because they're two terrific stories written for ds_flashfiction's "Naive Fraser" challenge. It was the perfect challenge for Due South, because Fraser and sex? They just don't go together. Except they do. Fraser is so gorgeous, that he has women throwing himself at him and men fantasizing about him. But he was raised in a very isolated setting, by grandparents born in the 19th century. And then there's his experience with Victoria. Naturally, he's screwed up when it comes to sex. How naive is he? He doesn't seem to date, so he's probably not getting any (so to speak), but what about self-pleasuring? Every guy does it...right?

Excerpt:

But of course he did have fantasies. There was nothing sexual about them, but the idea that he could care for someone who cared for him in return was a hope he held dearly. He had no frame of reference for that fantasy, but the literature was far more extensive.

He focused again at the window and was mortified to see his father standing behind him. He was unable to find his voice, but could only stare at their reflection.

Bob Fraser had the same grin on his face as always, as though he knew what his son was hiding and was amused by it. “Not even a hello for your old man, Benton?”

Fraser lowered his eyes, shook his head no.
