Fraser/Kowalski Table.

Claim: due South – Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski.
Prompt: 38. Kiss.
Title: Gratitude.
Author: Matthew Haldeman-Time.
Rating: PG-13.
Length: Long.
Brief summary: “He'd presented Ray with a gift.  Ray had kissed him, a simple gesture of gratitude, completely unexpected.  He'd presented Ray with another gift, in a sense, and Ray had kissed him again.  Fraser was not a stupid man.  He might have guessed that if he gave Ray something again, Ray might give him a second kiss.  He'd known that the possibility existed.  He'd taken advantage of the opportunity.”

Claim: due South – Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski.
Prompt: 22. UST.
Title: A Fine Evening.
Author: Matthew Haldeman-Time.
Rating: PG-13.
Length: Long.
Brief summary: Ray encourages Fraser to date.

"For one thing, right now I want to haul off and hit you.  Stupid Mountie.  You hit your head or something?  Maybe you're doing an experiment or working undercover or legally insane.  I always knew you were crazy.  Right from day one, I looked at you, I said to myself, that man is nuts."

"I looked at you and said to myself, 'That man is beautiful.'"

"No, you looked at me and said, who the fuck is this guy?"

"I'll admit I did wonder that, yes."
