Academic Punk by The Hoyden (NC-17)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski
Author on LJ:
thehoyden
Author Website: like an angel sleeping it off
Why this must be read:
There are several fine extremely AU stories out there, but this recent one is my current favorite. I mean, academic banter! Literature! English department politics! If you've resisted this story because of the length or alternate reality recasting of RayK and Fraser as English professors, you've been missing a heck of a good story. Also, I selected this story because I think it would appeal to people in other fandoms: don't let not knowing the show dissuade you from reading this fic. As to divergence from canon--well, there are significant differences in their personal histories, but there are enough similarities and personality traits in common with canon Fraser and Kowalski to feel like this is just them in another life.

I figured all the DSers would have seen all of my recs. And for the F/K stories, I was sort of rec'ing for other fandoms' fans, and to acknowledge the authors of some of my favorite stories. The earlier Ray/Ray recs were to make the Crack Van Memories representative, and to maybe stori up some more Ray/Ray interest.
Ack! typo!
