Hanged Man by Speranza (NC-17)
Fandom : Due South
Pairing : Fraser/Kowalski

Author Website:Speranza's Fiction
Why this must be read:
The hanged man in tarot cards is suspended, waiting for his fate to change. Of course, the title isn't merely referring to that. It's also referring to the word game. Which Fraser and Ray play at various times in the stories.
In this one Fraser and Ray enter into a relationship. They are secretive at first not wanting to endanger Ray's undercover assignment. They both well understand the necessity of lying and being discrete, of pretending they aren't in love with one another, for the safety of all involved. They know it, but it's hard to explain something like that to the heart. It's damn near killing them to be stuck in such a holding pattern. They don't want to go back, but moving forward isn't something they can do just yet.
I love the emotions of this piece. Everything so hidden, but not really. Even a blind man could see what they feel for one another. It's constantly threatening to boil over the surface. A fabulous read. As with all Speranza's stories I love it more than I could ever say.
Well, I started off rec'ing one of Speranza's fics at the beginning of the month and it seems only fitting to end with one of hers too. I've had great fun being the DS reccer this month. I may have to give it another shot sometime.
I hope you've enjoyed the fics I've offered up this month. If you have and you're also into the X-Files fandom you won't have much time to miss me. Since I'll be back in a few days doing X-Files recs here on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
