Palimpsest by Purna (NC-17)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website:Purna's Fiction
Why this must be read: This is an AU that should define all au's. I love the characterizations in this. Ray is so very very Ray. And Fraser? You could just eat him up! I love the way she keeps Fraser's slight awkardness and Ray's easy acceptance of it. Purna places our boys in Canada doing what they do best. Being a duet.
Quote : As I was arranging the maps clipped onto the lap board Ray handed me, he rooted around in his jacket pockets.
"Lose something?" I asked.
"Nah, got 'em right here." Ray pulled out a pair of eyeglasses with chunky black plastic frames from an inner pocket and slipped them on. With a rueful smile, he admitted, "Don't see too good without the old B.C. glasses. Wouldn't want to have a blind pilot, would we?"
"B.C. glasses?"
"Yeah, you know, birth control. Downtown geeksville, I can tell you, really wows the roughnecks down at the Boot."
I spoke without thinking. "On the contrary, they're quite fetching." I felt a flush creep up my face, but Ray merely looked at me, a dubious expression on his face.
"You're kidding me, right?"
"Certainly not. They look fine." The pitch of my voice wavered a little; I cleared my throat.
It was true. Ray's glasses would have been unflattering on anyone else, but somehow they only made him look younger and appealingly bookish.
Ray shook his head, but he was smiling. "Don't take this wrong, but you're a freak, you know that?" He pulled on his headphones.
I paused, wavering between offense and amusement. Then I smiled. "Understood."
