The Longest Distance by Berty (Explicit)

Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski
Length: 9000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] bertybertle
Author Website: On the AO3
Why this must be read: It's an apocalypse story that's not exactly bleak, but it still packs a hell of an emotional punch.  It borrows the premise of Last Night (and so comes with a warning for impending major character death), and it has a very similar feel to that film, a sort of understated, claustrophobic feeling, while people continue being painfully, normally just people as time runs out.    It's a story about Ray spending the last days getting to Fraser, so they can come to terms with each other before the end, and it's about being together when that end comes.  It's not an easy story or a happy story, but it never feels hopeless.
