Upon the Feast of Stephen, by Pares (NC-17)

Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio
Length: About 23K
Author on LJ: [info]kormantic
Author Website: The Ska Lab
Why this must be read:

Last week was Halloween; today I give you Christmas! There's a lot to love about this story, but what I enjoy most about it is the presence of Fraser's dead father, who has some great moments. The whole thing shines, beginning to end, and every line rings true; Pares has an excellent handle on the Fraser/Vecchio dynamic and the way they come together in this feels really natural and right.

D'AWWWWW. I LOVE this fic. I read it about five times at Christmas this year. :) *twirls [livejournal.com profile] kormantic*

I don't normally read DS unless it's a crossover with Sentinel (my main fandom), but I really like Pares' work in TS. This was really sweet. I'm pretty tired of hearing about how Fraser could only slash with the "other" Ray, so I'm glad to see a story with Vecchio. I've always felt he was a tender touch underneath all the bluster.

Good rec.

Nice rec! And here I thought I'd ferreted out all the F/V loveliness out there... I'm so glad I was wrong!
