Con Job

Title: Con Job
Author/reader: keerawa
Pairing: Fraser/RayK, RayK/OMC
Rating: NC17
Length: 32 minutes / 22MB / 5300 words

Why I'm reccing this podfic: This is an angsty story about what being undercover means to Ray K. The insights about how Ray prepares himself for being someone else are wonderful; I tend to forget that Ray is undercover as Vecchio, canonically, and that the way he approaches Fraser must be colored by this. I also really like the ending, which is not precisely happy, but I enjoy endings which are not precisely happy.

The reading is very well done. Keerawa has a pleasant voice, reads slowly, and infuses each line with meaning and energy. The individual characters come across clearly, including Ray-as-Ray and Ray-as-Gary both. The porn is quite sexy, and perhaps listening to this story while grocery shopping was not the smartest idea I've ever had.

I mostly prefer to rec in my own journal and on my website, but I wanted to put this one out here because it's an example of a truly outstanding reading of a due South story.
