Chasing Smoke, by Hazelwho (R)

*skids in really, really late*

Hi! I was supposed to rec for due South back in May, but I was having a lot of problems getting the crack van started up and it needed repairs, and I was busy and...well, you know how it goes.

My theme for May was remixes, and I'll get back to that soon enough, but first I'm going to rec some recent stories...specificially from this year's C6D/due South Big Bang. Check out the art for these wonderful stories, too.

Fandom: due South
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Length: longish
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hazelwho
Author Website: at AO3
Why this must be read: Firefighter AU. Do I really need to say more? The story is engaging and fascinating, the characterizations are sharp and pitch perfect and the bits of canon are woven nicely throughout the story.


Fraser felt Turnbull’s hand thump his back and jumped. It didn’t occur to him until two seconds in to his free-fall to pray that Turnbull was giving him the slap-out jump signal and not just a friendly pat. Ah well, nothing for it now, he thought as he oriented himself to the terrain. Fraser was always at his most calm and confident when hurling himself toward danger. A few more seconds of fall and he had mentally overlayed the Arizona topo maps over the terrain, assessed the fire, determined where his help would be most useful, chosen a landing spot, and estimated that he could, in fact, get his line dug and hike down the mountain to base camp in time for dinner. He worked carefully and methodically for the next 10 hours, but nothing approached the clarity he felt during the jump.
