Why this must be read:
Accidental Bonding is a wonderful and well-thought out superpowers AU where the due South gang work in the Chicago PD's Department of Magical Crimes. Luzula does a terrific job of fitting canon into her universe, and it's almost frightening how much more sense some of it makes in her version than in Paul Haggis'. During the course of some good old-fashioned police work, the boys get, well, accidentally bonded, and discover their romantic feelings are mutual. Push and Pull follows directly after Accidental Bonding. It's the story of how Fraser and Ray find their balance in their new relationship while juggling a case, dealing with their bond and doing a mandatory stint in therapy. The characterizations in Push and Pull are wonderful, and both Ray's and Fraser's reaction to the bond are spot-on.
Ray took out his notebook and pen. "Okay, Fraser, give it your best shot."
I began with the shoes. They had hopefully been wherever he had been, thus also intersecting with where the drug dealer had been. I took them in my hands and turned them over, concentrating. Streets, of course, buildings, but I needed more than that. I closed my eyes and touched my tongue to the underside: the taste of dust, and sudden knowledge.
"A tall building downtown, on West Jackson Boulevard. It has large glass windows and is taller than the surrounding ones. He must work there—the shoes have been there every day except for the weekend."
Ray was writing, and I continued. "A house on the Gold Coast, near the lake. There's a magnolia tree outside the building, with lovely white flowers—a Magnolia grandiflora, I believe."
"Not relevant, Fraser, go on."
"It must be his home, since the shoes leave the place every morning." I frowned in concentration and went on to list all the other places where the shoes had been during the last week. It got progressively more difficult as we got further back in time, and the images were fainter for places the shoes had only been once. I couldn't get a precise location for them all.
Nevertheless, when I had finished, Ray had a long list of places. Next, I took his keys and put the cool metal on my tongue, going through the images to see if there were any new ones.
"All right, I think you can stop sucking on those keys. I've probably got it all now." I opened my eyes to see the corner of Ray's mouth twitching up.
