Chicago's Most Wanted by speranza (NC-17)
Hi, I am
partners4life and your driver for the month. A little info about me: I am a die-hard Ray K. fan. I started watching due South because I adore Callum Keith Rennie (and on the recommendation of a friend that Fraser and Ray K. were "slashable").
So, this month you will be getting a lot of stories that are Ray K. centric and focus solely on the Fraser/Ray K. relationship. (Sorry this girl don't do Ray V. and Fraser in a sexual relationship. I am not offended if you swing both Rays, to each their own. *g* But, I see Fraser and Ray V.'s friendship as brotherly, not lover-like. In fact, I happen to like Ray V. with Stella in most stories.)
So, be prepared for a month of Ray K./Fraser stories. If that is your thing also, jump in the van and let's have some fun. The bar is open!
My first rec...
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Fraser/Ray K.
Author on LJ:
cesperanza
Author Website: http://trickster.org/speranza
Why this must be read: Speranza is probably my favorite author in this fandom. I cannot think of a single story of hers I don't enjoy.
However, Chicago's Most Wanted is my favorite. I read it every three months because it is the best this fandom has to offer, in my opinion, of great writing.
This story has everything, Fraser is undercover in prison, Fraser gets beat up in prison and gets amnesia (who doesn't love a good amnesia fic?), Fraser busts out of prison and becomes a bank robber.
What?
Yes, Fraser becomes a master criminal and he's very good at it. Ray figures out what has happened to Fraser (the blow to the head has scrambled Fraser's brain and he really believes he was in jail because he's a bad guy). Ray tries to stop him.
What follows is pure bliss. High-jinxs, hot sex and some of the funniest dialogue you will find anywhere in any fandom!
Excerpt...
"I see," Fraser repeated, and suddenly he seemed a lot closer, and his other hand was--where the fuck was Fraser's other hand? "I'm your partner."
Ray kept his eyes locked on Fraser's, forcing himself by sheer will not to go looking for wherever Fraser's other hand had got to. "That's right," Ray said, trying to sound definite about it. "You are."
"And yet..." Fraser murmured--and oh, yeah, there was that other hand, right there, skimming his waist, then dropping and skimming his--oh, shit. "...you sent me to prison, didn't you?"
"I...uh..." and oh christ, holy christ, sweet jesus, this was so not good. Except it was good, it was fucking great, and Fraser was sort of leaning closer now, leaning closer to him and sort of smelling his hair. "Yes, but--"
And then Fraser just went and fucking did it--suddenly Fraser's hand was warm against his waist and Fraser was pressing him back against the wall and kissing him hotly. Every nerve ending in his body was suddenly firing, like someone had switched on his engine and hit the gas--and all that empty space inside him turned out to be explosive, surprisingly combustible. Ray reached out and clutched Fraser's hair, yanking his mouth close, and they kissed roughly, trying to force their bodies into closer contact.
As suddenly as Fraser had started it, Fraser stopped it, breaking the kiss and turning his face so that he was breathing hard against Ray's left ear. "That explains it," Fraser muttered inexplicably, "that explains part of it, but...Ray, how could you do that to me?"
Ray opened his mouth to ask, "What? Do what?" but Fraser smothered the question with a quick, harsh kiss--
--and then brought his knee up hard into Ray's groin.
Ray doubled over, seeing red and purple stars, and when he managed to open his eyes again, Fraser was long gone.
Can it get any better? Fraser thinks he's having a clandestine affair with the cop who put him in jail! You have to read the rest to see what happens.

About 'stealing' your recs, I am going to limit myself to only a couple of authors, the ones I consider to be the best in the fandom: Kellie Matthews, Grey, Speranza, etc.
So now that you know my dastardly plan, {insert evil overlord laughter} you can plan your crack van drive accordingly for next year. *eg*
