Title: I can only

Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio
Rating: R
Length: 6,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic:

What if Fraser and RayV have always been girls? They are themselves, Ray and Fraser, and yet they are different. The character voices are spot on, especially Fraser's.

There are some interesting themes about gender, but it never becomes less of a story. It's subtle and lovely and has a wonderful Fraser & RayK friendship.

Truly I was blown away by it.

Fraser looks over Detective Vecchio's desk carefully, cataloging what she sees for anything that might be of use in understanding the detective. She adds less disorganized than disinclined towards order to the list of things she knows about Detective Ray -- likely a nickname, though the nameplate on her desk lists no other -- Vecchio, where it joins gangly, voluble, a flashy dresser, the sole female detective working out of this precinct, and at the moment, exceedingly shrill.

"A lady Mountie? Come on, Lieutenant, how am I supposed to do my job if I'm babysitting that?"

Fraser indulges herself by flipping over the first yellow-lined page on a nearby notepad. Detective Vecchio's organizational system will take some decoding, but already she has identified three ongoing cases begging for attention. Excellent.
