Why this must be read: A relative newcomer to dS fandom, ButterflyGhost leaped right in with amazing casefics -- click on her link above and you can find something for anyone, from any era of Due South. But this, while a casefic in many ways, is also the story of the marriage, of an era in the RCMP, of an era in the life of an amazing woman who barely got any development in the series. ButterflyGhost takes Caroline Fraser and makes her real; she's a living, breathing woman in every sense of the word in this story, and there are moments you laugh, moments you bleed for her and many moments where you have to stop reading upon realizing what her future, inevitably, will be. She doesn't shy away from the reality of police work, sexism, racism or the flaws of the characters, and the story is all the better for it. As part of a longer series, there's more to come, but even just reading this first volume will make you look at the generation prior of Fraser (and those surrounding) in a more nuanced, clear, burning light.
