Title: The Best Thing to Say
Author: Team Reality Memmber wihluta
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: PG-13
Length: 2600
Why I'm reccing this fic: I'm not sure why I didn't rec this before. I read in multiple fandoms, and I always say Due South is my comfort fandom. I read Due South when I need a hug, and this is exactly the type of story I turn to on those days. In just a few words, we learn how Ray and Fraser began their romantic relationship and how over time it is revealed and received by those around. These are necessarily short glimpses, but they are so perfectly written that I not only felt a part of each moment, but I can feel and see what happens in between them. The world of this story left me smiling and content, and I will be visiting it often.

DS Match Fic: And these are all for you

Title: And these are all for you
Author: innocentsmith
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski, Fraser/other canon characters
Rating: PG
Length: 8200
Why I'm reccing this fic: I'm so impressed that this seems to be the author's first due South story. It offers an insightful perspective on Fraser, and how he tries to make sense of people around him. I love how the fairy tales he read as a child affected him, and how he wrestles with the question of what makes a person attractive. The writing is sometimes poetic and beautiful, and sometimes strikingly funny, and very much Fraser.

Also, the Martha section alone would have been enough to make me love it.

And these are all for you
