Why I'm reccing this fic: Dief's POV on Fraser and RayK's cluelessness about each other. Etcetera-cat definitely needed a rec here, because this is her first Due South story. It is absolutely hilarious and wonderful - and has one of the best last sentences I have ever read!

Why I'm reccing this fic: It's a dense, complicated fic that rewards re-reading, but still manages to feel spare and tight rather than florid or overwritten. She weaves in song lyrics and film dialogue (excellent 'guess that line' material), and often funny parenthetical asides, all of which contribute to a fabulous rhythm and a nifty layered effect. But all that complexity is in aid of a very human, very sympathetic look at a romance; doubts, difficulties, lust, leaps of faith and all.

Why I'm reccing this fic: How to rec a drabble? I don't want to talk about content (although it's very similar in scope to the story recced above. Huh.) It's a gorgeous bit of writing, packs a surprising emotional punch, and always makes me smile and say, "Yeah. Exactly."
