The Man Who Wasn't There by Shayheyred (Teen)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Renfield Turnbull/Thomas Dewey
Length: 4,600 words
Author on LJ:

Author Website: On the AO3
Why this must be read: Because you wouldn't expect a story like this to work (or at least, I wouldn't), but it does. Fic that explores Turnbull or Dewey as more than caricatures is pretty rare. This one is sweet and kind of sad, exploring how both of them are misfits that don't really belong anywhere. I'm not wild about Dewey in the show, but this fic's take on him got my sympathy. Also, I find the Turnbull POV in this story absolutely charming. It's an unexpectedly adorable story about two socially awkward, unhappy people finding friendship together, and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
