Hi! I'm innocentsmith, and I'll be driving the van Riv GTO dogsled van for due South this month. I lean towards F/K, but I'm planning to include other pairings and gen fics; I don't really have any more of a theme than "awesome fics which inexplicably haven't been recced yet." Looking forward to sharing them with you!
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Length: 17,057 words

Author Website: Aria's Fanfic on Dreamwidth
Why this must be read:
"Dead Men Don't Throw Rice" isn't one of the most ficced-about episodes of season 3.5/4, but it involves Fraser making a rather odd choice. Odd even for him, that is. Putting himself in a deathlike coma - for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture - he spends a little time in a place Dead!Bob calls "the Borderland," and then emerges, apparently free from harm.
What Aria's done, though, is to take this weird and really kind of worrying little incident and examine its implications, merging the always idiosyncratic mythology of due South with another, well-known and beloved story from classical mythology. Which is searingly lovely, frightening, and funny as hell, especially when taken from the POV of Ray Kowalski, who's a poet only on the inside.
Frannie, Turnbull, and Mort all get cameos, too. It's note-perfect, and deeply awesome. Read it!
