Why this must be read: As I was rummaging through my list of stories I didn't have time to recommend last August that hadn't been recommended here, I was, once again, flummoxed to find the name of this story. About a month after I read it the first time I was devoured by a great desire to read it again; the first place I checked was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van and I was startled not to find it here. It's a well-known story in the fandom, and is often recommended at ds_ficfinders or ds_recsredux but every time I run across a recommendation for it, I reread it with great enjoyment. In the spirit of completism, I hereby enter it on the lists (tags, memories, delicious bookmarks) of certified in every way classic Due South stories.
This is another quest fic, and one with certain points of resemblance to my first recommendation, but it has its own life, and makes its own points about the personalities and strengths of RayK and Fraser. And it has some of the funniest descriptions in any Due South stories, as well as snarky dialogue and, well, hot sex scenes, although they are not the whole story by any stretch of the imagination.
"Two shakes of a lamb's tail," Ray mumbled to himself, digging in the canvas bag for tent pegs. "Who the hell says that? Who sits around with a friggin' stopwatch and stares at lamb's tails? Probably someone Canadian, that's who." He found the last peg and stood up, yelling at Fraser's back: "If you see a wild pizza, shoot it!"
The wind had started to rise, and Fraser's voice floated back to him, half-audible. "...endangered species up here, Ray."
"Ha. That's not even funny." But Fraser was only a speck in the distance by that time, so he said it to the rest of the dogs. They didn't say anything back.
***
For Ray, it all happened very fast. He took one wild and unsuccessful look around in an attempt to get his bearings, then stepped into a pile of snow that gave way under him with a sickening and silent lurch. There was a long, lolloping slide from utter whiteness to utter blackness, crashing into and through and over, falling until he had to wonder if maybe he'd found the edge of the planet and sailed right on over it, falling until he slammed to a stop with a sharp flash of pain in his leg and a crack to his head that made him see colors on the insides of his eyelids.
"Jeez," that was dumb, he meant to say, but he was wedged in tight, too tight to talk, flat on his back in the total darkness with a big, icy weight pressing down on his chest. Stuck like a cork in a bottle. A frozen bottle.
Oh yeah, that was dumb all right. Probably dumb enough to kill him. Ray sucked in what air he could get, closed his eyes against the dark, and tried to remember what exactly he'd thought was so wonderful about this whole adventure thing.
