Homeward Bound by pir8fancier, NC-17

So, since today's date ends with 3, I thought it would be a propitious time to recommend an Fraser and Two Rays story- this one post-everything, with a grand bit of plot development. Even better, it has a tasty case investigation at its center, nicely integrated into the over-all story and giving an air of solidity and realism to the whole.

Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Vecchio/Kowalski/Fraser
Length:Long short story in three linked parts
Author on LJ:pir8fancier
Author Website:All pir8fancier stories at Due South Archive, LJ Memories
Why this must be read: Because pir8fancier has an inimitable grasp of Vecchio's voice; because threesome fic works best when everyone's a little crazy, a little broken, because it's worth it for the phone calls alone. And because there's a nifty little case-fic to follow, too.


“Your back bothering you or are you trying to delay this conversation?”

He snapped his seat belt shut and looked straightforward. At a concrete wall. “A little of both.”

“He thinks you’re dumping him onto me. He thinks that you think he’s going to wuss out up there, and that you’re grooming me to be the back-up plan.”

That got his attention.

“Oh dear. I am doing nothing of the sort. Well, I am and I’m not.”

“Tell him the ‘not’ part, because he’s convinced of that and it’s tearing him up inside. Then tell me the ‘am’ part.”

“I…”

I got the eyebrow rub and the neck crick and the lip licking.

“It’s not Ray’s inadequacies that concern me. It’s mine.”
