Beautiful Oblivion, by Hamlette (NC-17)
Fandom: Due South
Pairings: Kowalski/Turnbull, Fraser/Vecchio
Author's website: Hamlette's Hamlet
Why this story must be read: Another 'OMG I can't believe this hasn't been recc'd' rec. This novel-length story does a fantastic job of exploring some of the post-COTW possibilities as well as clearing up a niggling season one plot-point - why were Fraser and Vecchio chased by a Canadian mobster with a suspicious resemblance to Constable Turnbull?
The relationships are impressively built up, and the story is heatbreaking in places as we see four men left broken by circumstances beyond their control. As much as I adore the Fraser/Vecchio relationship in this, I'll admit that it's the fleshing out of Turnbull's originally two-dimensional character into someone with a great backstory that turns this fic special. It's practically impossible for me to choose just one excerpt to post here, because the length means there are so many fabulous scenes that I'd want to include them all.
