Sorry, it's been so long between recs, I had intended to do more, but I tore the rotor cuff in my right shoulder (the arm I write with) and have been unable to be online for long periods of time. I will try to get in a few more story recs before the end of the month!

No, seriously, it is a wonderful story. It is set about 2 years after COTW and Fraser has gone back to Canada -- without Ray. Ray is still in Chicago working as a cop. They keep in touch, but have sort of drifted apart as friends do who are separated.
Ray gets a chance to go to Canada (taking a prisoner there) and goes to see Fraser and wouldn't you know they immediately get involved in a case together. Plus, they soon realize that they have a lot of unfinished business between them -- like long denied feelings, but will fate and their jobs keep them apart again?
This is an amazingly rich and realistic story, wrought with emotion and yes, humor. I love it more every time I read it.
