Jealousy, Someone You Know

Claim: Due South, Fraser/Vecchio
Title: Jealousy
Author: innusiq
Characters: Benton Fraser/Ray Vecchio, Rosanna, Diefenbaker, Francesca
Prompt: 17 Jealousy
Rating: PG
Length: Meduim
Brief summary: There's different types of jealousy going on in this established relationship story. The first focuses on how Ray feels when Fraser goes away and he doesn't get to give a proper goodbye to Fraser when he goes away. There is of course a more humuorous type of jealousy in that Fraser is jealous of Dief who gets to sleep in Ray's bed. Of course the latter is solved when Fraser returns. We also get the first family member finding out about the relationship in this, part of a series of stories tackling different themes all featuring Ray's niece Rosanna.

Title: Someone You Know
Author: Midge Knight
Characters: Benton Fraser/Ray Vecchio, Westrum, Welsh, Huey, Eliane, Ray's family, others
Prompt: 20 Fight
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long/Epic
Brief summary: This is a rape story and as such should not be read by those who dislike it although the rape is by a third party. This focuses on tow fights in the aftermath; the first is a fight for justice by Fraser to try to bring the rapist to justice and the second is the fight by Ray to try to regain his life. It is very heavy on the angst and h/c but there is some healing and it never uses the idea of rape as a shock tactic but more of the sort of effects it leads to.

Brief summary: It's Christmas in July! Well, February, anyway. While on leave, John decides to take one of the tags from an 'Angel Tree', and somehow, Rodney finds himself roped into the shopping expedition from...commercializationville or something. The dialog is great, and the stories does a wonderful job of showing how deep their relationship runs.

Title: Visiting Hours
Author: lilysaid (lilysaid)
Characters: Sheppard/McKay
Prompt: 43 - Denial
Rating: Mature
Length: Long
Brief summary: I love how this story flows, with John and Rodney getting more enmeshed and entangled with each other, even though John is imprisoned and Rodney sees him only once a week. Rodney becomes John's only lifeline, and he is slowly disintegrating under the pressure of being alone, and neither of them can really admit what is happening. It is neat and painful, building up despair and emotional need over time, yet never goes over the top. It's an intense, powerful read, and I really enjoyed it.

Ex Libris, The End of the Road

Here is the end of my road. Thanks for the opportunity to rec for this kickass fandom.

Claim: due South, Fraser/Kowalski
Title: Ex Libris
Author: brooklinegirl, on LJ brooklinegirl
Characters: Fraser, Ray
Prompt: 50. Reccer's Choice
Rating: R
Length: medium
Brief summary: This is a wonderful story written recently by one of my very favorite authors. There are many examples of wonderful Ray voice in the due South fandom, but relatively few examples of good Fraser voice. This is one of them. Fraser is pining after Ray, but can't find the way and the words to tell Ray what he wants. This is worth it for the glimpse into Fraser's mind, and how difficult it is for him to voice how he feels and his own needs and wants. This blew me away when I first read it, brooklinegirl just gets better and better with every fic she writes.

Title: The End of the Road
Author: Kat Allison, on LJ katallison
Characters: Fraser, Ray
Prompt: 14. Loss
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary: I consider this to be THE fic of the due South fandom. I saved the best for last. Because of that, I'm going to write a little bit more than usual about what makes this story so absolutely amazing and heartbreaking. You know from the first few lines of this that things are not going to work out for Fraser and Ray. This story is told in flashbacks, juxtaposed with Ray and Fraser waiting in the airport for Ray's plane to leave Canada for good. Watching the slow demise of their relationship post-COTW, and how they can never quite figure out how to make room for each other is torturous, but only in the way that makes you not want to look away. If you have not yet read this story, you should immediately set aside a couple of days of your life for this. And don't give up even if it makes you sad, because Kat's unbelievable writing and Fraser voice, and the way she makes you believe this, is completely and totally worth the heartache.
