Small aside: I am the world's biggest wuss when it comes to dark fic and death fic; anytime you see me recommending something with either of those warnings, you can rest assured that it's exceptionally well written.

Why this must be read: Because Benton Fraser is the most annoying man in the world, because some things are inheritable, because Fraser's partners have to take care of each other, no matter what.
Excerpt: ("I beg your pardon") Thatcher asked. She sounded a little sniffly. Human.
"Diefenbaker," Ray repeated. "What's gonna happen to him?"
"I -- I hadn't thought --"
"That's okay," Ray said, real calm. "Send him down, care of Ray Kowalski. I'll look after him."
Silence on the line. "That's ... very kind of you, Detective," Thatcher said.
So at the end of the week Ray went, in the middle of his newfound afternoon free time, to pick Dief up from quarantine at the airport. When they let Dief out and handed him over, Dief went and huddled up against Ray's legs, warm and furry and shivering a little. Ray eventually coaxed him out to the GTO, and Dief curled up in the back seat without commentary. When they got back to Ray's apartment, though, Dief sniffed around like he was making it sure it was all still in working order before coming back over to Ray and looking up expectantly.
"Okay," Ray said, crouching down next to the wolf, "this is how it works. I leave the back window open so you can do your business when I'm not around. You, uh, you get kibble so you don't keel over from too much junk food, and when I feel like it I'll spring for pizza for both of us. Got it?"
Dief gave a little whuffle of agreement and licked the end of Ray's nose.
That was all she wrote; Ray ended up hanging onto Dief and wailing into his fur for fuck knew how long, while Dief shuffled and whined and tried to snuggle up right back. But after that Ray felt better. He gave Dief human food probably more than he should've, and talked to Dief probably more than he should have either, but that was okay. He let Dief sleep in his bed most nights too, and even though Dief snored like a truck with a bad engine and Ray occasionally got bitten by the intermittent fleas, having something warm to wake up near was really helpful.
