Why this must be read:
Fraser has lost his sacred Stetson and is suspicious of RayK. Meanwhile, RayK has been up for nearly 24 hours while working a case in which his instinct is telling him that the suspect behind bars is not the culprit.
Equal parts funny (for Rayk grow snarkier with each passing minute as Fraser becomes seriously obsessed with finding his hat) and intriguing (just who commited the crime?), this is a story that shows the best aspects of the genfic genre. I've been known to wipe actual!tears off my face from laughing so hard every time I read this fic. What cinches the story for me is that the casefic aspects totally works backwards and forwards.
It reads like a classic due South episode in that Fraser and RayK banter is golden, their interactions with other members of the 2-7 Major Crimes Division are priceless and, hey, RayK even gets to ask the lady who works in the Evidence department out for a date.
Definitely worth a read!
"Actually, you're seated at Detective Dewey's desk. I find it an odd choice, considering how often you complain of his personal hygiene."
Ray jumped up and started brushing Dewey germs off himself. "Aw, dammit, Fraser. You knew I was touching that disease factory, and you didn't tell me? That is not buddies. Goddammit--I put my face on it. I'm probably going to get face Ebola."
"It's very unlikely Detective Dewey has contracted Ebola. I spoke with him for several minutes earlier. He wasn't exhibiting any observable symptoms. I suppose he could still be in the incubation period, or perhaps, he's just being unusually stoic about the initial symptoms which are much like the common flu. If he begins vomiting excessively or exhibits a maculopapular rash--"
"OK! Aright! I'll help you find the damn hat."
"Thank you, Ray." Fraser smiled his most benign, Canadian smile, but Ray wasn't fooled.
"Damn, passive-aggressive..."
"What was that?" asked Fraser, innocently.
Ray made a face. "I said, 'You're welcome. Can't wait to assist you in this noble endeavor.'" He smiled meanly, then went back to scowling. "Where's the last place you saw it? Allegedly."
