Why this must be read:
Because it is Frannie!fic, and there can never be enough Frannie!fic. And because this story is well-written, moving, and features one hell of a framing device. You'll be hooked from the first paragraph. Prior knowledge of either text isn't strictly necessary: if you somehow missed the great little Canadian independent flick Wilby Wonderful you'll want to run right out and track it down. And if you know the film but aren't familiar with due South (what's wrong with you? Did you grow up in a cultural vacuum?) well, you'll want to take a look at that series. Basically, this fic inspires love and interest in all things Canadian. Which is never a bad thing.
The plot of this story is relatively simple: Frannie needs a vacation. She decides to head to Wilby Island for the annual festival and meets Buddy. They spark, they have some angst, and Frannie proves herself to be as nutty and endearing here as she was on the show. I liked this fic for it's humor and the way it cleverly rewrites the canon ending of "Call of the Wild" to make things fit. And that framing device I mentioned earlier is pure gold.
You probably think you know what happened. After the business with Holloway Muldoon, I mean. Huey and Dewey opened a comedy club, Vecchio and Stella moved to Florida, Frannie had a bunch of babies, and Benton Fraser and Ray Kowalski headed north to find that reaching-out hand. Right?
Except, how come you know all that? Because Fraser told you, that's why. But did you ever wonder how he knew all that? He was mushing a dogsled across the frozen tundra at the time, and there is not exactly a whole lot in the way of news up there. Maybe he just continued the stories of his friends the way he thought they'd turn out. The way he hoped in his heart that they would turn out.
Fraser was probably right about Huey and Dewey. As far as Vecchio and Stella go, I don't know and I don't care. But Frannie, she wanted more than just babies. She wanted Fraser, but for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, that wasn't going to work out. He liked her, and he wanted her to be happy - he hoped she would be happy - so he invented this story about her, something that he thought would be all about Happy Francesca. But maybe that ain't what really happened.
Maybe what really happened was something like this.
There, see? Genius. Check out the story, and letisiscolo know you liked it.
