Two Men on a Boat by Sihaya Black (NC-17)

Fandom : Due South
Pairing : Fraser/Kowalski
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] sihayab
Author Website: Sihaya's Sentinel Fics
Why this must be read:

(I'm going to be throwing a few recs out tonight in order to catch make up for my tardiness.)

This story is an AU. I mean like way AU. Remember the movie The African Queen with Boggart and Hepburn. Well, this is Fraser and RayK set in that movie. It's that AU. Yet, it works. It absolutely works. The guys are spot on in character even though the are in a completely different time period and situation all together. The ability to throw the characters into a situation so different from canon and have them completely recognizable is the mark of a good AU to me and Sihaya hit it dead on. This is an AU story I point people to when I want to show them an example of how to do it right. It's one of my favorite AU's of all time. I'd recommend anyone to read it whether a Fraser/RayK fan or not. Just to see how to create and amazing AU.
