The Sweet Hereafter, Ray Woke Up FAIRY!, Dead Men Don't Throw Rice

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

It took me a ridiculously long time to narrow this theme down to three recs. I decided to cut stories that have been recced before, and that helped; but really, just read everything recced in this comm! Especially these ...

Title: The Sweet Hereafter
Author: China Shop (china_shop)
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: R
Length: 44,885 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: With a water pollution case, Native American rights being trampled, Consulate party planning, rambling Bob stories and Fraser accidentally bodyswitched with his father's ghost, this could be a canon episode! (Okay, maybe the Fraser/Ray revelations and car sex, not so much, but the subtext would be on the screen, right?) It's fascinating watching Fraser's body with Bob's personality--or frustrating, if you're Ray or Dief. Classic bodyswap with a twist.

The Sweet Hereafter


Title: Ray Woke Up FAIRY!
Author: Moonloon (maryavatar)
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: R
Length: 541
Why I'm reccing this fic: A short ficlet of delightful hilariousness: Ray discovers sleeping with Fraser has a side effect. I'm quite fond of this explanation for Fraser's generous Canadian nature. ;-)

Ray Woke Up FAIRY!


Title: Dead Men Don't Throw Rice
Author: Alex (alex51324)
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: PG
Length: 1,762 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: One of Due South's longest-running mumbojumbo themes is the afterlife cabin in the closet. So when Fraser and Ray decide to make it official, and gay marriage isn't legal in Chicago ... Wonderful, wonderful use of ghosts. And Alex, as usual, has written all the characters' voices note-perfect. Schmoop alert (which is a plus, in my book)!
