Hello everyone! I'm [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I will be driving the due South Van this month! I'll try to get a good mix in here of different pairings and characters.
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski
Length: 2551
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: capella_fic fic tag
Why this must be read: I loved this story the first time I read it because I had never read anything quite like it. The entire story is told from the perspective of one of Benton's teachers and was written for the [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] school challenge. [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] really captures how much she worries about him and wants him to have the life he deserves. The reader also finds out quite a bit about the characters created to be the teacher and her husband in few words.
Benton Fraser showed up at lunchtime today, barely ten minutes after the break started. He hesitated at the door like he always does when he realises I'm in the room, but I looked up from my stack of books in time to wave him in and say hello before he could start apologising.
"Mrs. Burnaby," he gave me that funny little half-smile and gestured towards the long bookcase. "I wondered if I might just..? I wouldn't want to disturb you."
"You know you're not disturbing me, Ben," I said. "Give me a shout if you need any help."
He settled himself at a table near the back with a couple of textbooks and a pile of paper, and I went back to my marking. It was a comfortable sort of silence, as usual.
When Benton first asked if he could study in my room during his free time, I assumed he was thinking of university. Lord knows, of all my students he was the least in need of extra help. But when I asked him which branch of science he was hoping to pursue, he looked confused.
