Why this must be read:
Most of the due South crossovers I have enjoyed have been with C6D fandoms, so it's a treat to come across such a delightful story involving a non-C6D fandom. Mizface found the perfect place to intersect the two, an Inuit art exhibit where Amanda's mother is abducted by someone who thinks she's Nautilus (from the dS episode Spy vs. Spy). I loved Fraser/Kowalski here, happily married with a good life together. But this time, they're on the civilian side of a case to be solved, a novel experience that doesn't sit too well with Ray. And while I read this as a due South story first, her Lee, Amanda and Dottie reminded me of how much I loved that show.
“Mostly rumors and innuendo, and nothing for years. Nautilus is like the boogeyman for agents everywhere.” He started to say more, but a tiny gasp from Amanda stopped him.
“Lee, what would Nautilus want with Mother?”
Fraser turned in his chair to face Amanda. “Mrs. Stetson, if I’m right, then Mrs. West is in much more danger than you think. She wasn’t kidnapped by Nautilus – she was taken because someone believes she is Nautilus.”
Stetson’s eyes narrowed. “There’s no way someone could think that. One of the reasons Nautilus is still at large is all those rumors conflict when it comes to any kind of physical description. What makes you so sure?”
“We had a run in with her when I was still working in Chicago,” Ray explained. “Friend of Ben’s – former CIA - got mixed up in this huge espionage thing, and when it all shook out, Nautilus was part of it. We almost had her, but she got away. She was a real crafty old lady.”
Stetson shook his head. “There’s no way we’re talking about the same Nautilus.”
“Perhaps not,” Fraser conceded. “But it makes sense. Why else would Mrs. West have been taken?”
“Wrong place at the wrong time?” Lee said wryly. “Trust me, it’s a family trait.”
