Why this must be read:

It's been a lot of fun collecting and reccing stories this month and I've ended up re-discovering a lot of my Due South enthusiasm and why I loved that show back in the day. It has been a great pleasure. Thanks to everyone who commented on the recs or offered corrections to my information- it was all appreciated. As my last rec of the month I am being indulgent and reccing a long, epic Fraser/Kowalski, not that I think any of you Due South [livejournal.com profile] crack_van riders will mind.

A slow, believable build-up of intimacy and development of how Fraser and Kowalski can fit their lives and how they want to fit their lives together after Call of the Wild and their adventures have ended and they have returned to their normal, separate lives. This story pretty much hits perfectly on all of my quirks. It is funny and sappy, is clearly building a story, deals with issues in a realistic manner, doesn't just rush from sex scene to sex scene, but still delivers some hot, smutty sex by the end.

Fraser and Kowalski clicked as partners from early on and they managed to overcome every hurdle to remaining partners, but being partners or even Kowalski implying he feels more like himself around Fraser does not mean they are ready for intimacy, of the everyday living variety or the emotional variety, and this in particular goes for Fraser. I love how this story takes the slow, measured road to get them from what they want theoretically to how to live it daily.



He hit the puck cleanly and it sailed away on what looked to be the correct path. But he wasn't able to watch for long. Without warning, and completely illegally, Ray threw his body into Fraser's forcing them both up against the rink wall. With deliberate intent, it seemed, he held Fraser there.

"That's crosschecking," Fraser said thinly with what little breath he had left. "And holding."

"Yeah?" Ray shot back, his face only inches away. "And what's this?" He shifted his hips deliberately against Fraser's.

"Frottage," Fraser answered weakly, feeling his arousal skyrocket at the feel of Ray's erection brushing against his.

"Yeah?" Ray laughed just a little. "Is that what it's called? I never knew." His smile left his face, but the intensity remained. "Have I won you over yet?"

Fraser fought to remain upright on knees that suddenly wanted to melt. "I think..." He glanced quickly at Ray's net to determine the truth. "It was a tie."

"I'm not talking about hockey, Fraser."

"Neither am I, Ray. It's not about winning." Fraser struggled to make his meaning clear.
