International Relations, by Adrienne (NC-17)
Fandom: Due South
Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio
Author's website: A selection of stories archived here.
Why this story must be read: Fraser's been transferred to Ottawa and Vecchio, on a whim, goes to visit him. But when they end up in bed together, Vecchio struggles to deal with the potential change in their relationship. While Fraser seems to want the whole couple thing, Ray's adamant he doesn't want anything more than a 'friends with benefits' deal. It's an interesting and different take on the pairing, admitting the love between them but without getting mushy and without the difficult shift from best friends to boyfriends.
The sex was great, he had to admit. Once past the whole idea of making out with another guy, he had no inhibitions. Anything and everything was permissible, so long as it brought inarticulate moans of pleasure from the firm body next to his.
He felt safe with Fraser. Benny was surprisingly and delightfully experimental, willing to try almost anything. He knew Fraser had a playful, almost fey, side to him; it showed rarely, but it was there. Alone, in bed with an equally playful lover, that side shone brightly.
He frowned. He wanted... He wasn't sure what he wanted. He wanted the friend, the precise, prim, exasperating man who told him Inuit stories and caribou lore. He also wanted the lover who had brought his body to dizzying heights of pleasure.
What he did not want was a love relationship. He didn't want to hold hands, or go on dates with Fraser. Or, God forbid, live with him. The idea of sharing a place with Mr. Persnickety, who couldn't cook an edible meal if his life depended on it gave Ray shudders. Most of all, he did not want to change his life to accomodate a lover. He was comfortable in his home, playing pater familias to the Vecchio clan. He did not want to change that.
International Relations, part one, part two and part three.
