Author on LJ:Author Website: all anonymous co stories at the Due South ArchiveWhy this must be read:Here's a long, plotty fic that starts about the time of "Dr. Longball" and details the way in which Ray Kowalski and Benton Fraser come together as a couple while solving crimes, nearly dying in reckless and dangerous ways, face down their friends, relatives, coworkers, and assorted medical personnel, and end up with a prospect of happy ever after, even in Chicago.
Excerpt:
Myself, I'm not sure how Dief is going to go for that. I think Dief thinks he's half-human anyway, but hey, I grab the box with him and we do a little jockeying over who is paying what. "I don't buy your groceries, you don't buy mine," I mutter under my breath and feel a finger poke me hard in the ribs. I grin at that, we get checked out and haul the bags out to the car.
Fraser gives Dief a handful of the treats, and it looks like he did okay, Dief snarfs those down like he's eating pizza. Then, Fraser turns to me, rubs his eyebrows and cracks his neck. "Ray, I think Stella may have guessed."
Obviously, I'm still stupid from too much sex. "Guessed what?"
He gives me the patient Are-You-Unhinged look.
Like being hit in the head with a brick. "Oh." I think about that, and I swear to God, I start to fucking giggle. He looks alarmed at that, and I put a hand over my mouth. You know what I'm thinking? She's got a guy in chinos who's losing his hair and getting a little gut, and I've got Fraser.
