Title: Thank You, Kindly.
Author:Pepe
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: NC-17
Length - no idea - what's 215 k in metric???
Why I'm reccing this fic: 1. Because is gives good Ray! 2. Because this is her first Due South fic and I'd like her to write more. 3. Because Ray has issues...I love a Ray with issues. 4. Because it has a yummy sex scene or two in it. 5. Because she hasn't read a whole lot of fanfic, so this is how SHE sees them. 6. Because Fraser doesn't do the right thing for once. 7. Because she's a stickler for emotion and her work is always full of it.

Snippet of Thank You Kindly.

He could take Fraser’s shirt off him.

No problem.

Wouldn’t even bat an eyelid doing it.

Except Ray knew his breathing had already notched up a level, and Fraser wasn’t stupid. Fraser heard things. Interpreted signs that most people couldn’t even see.

Thank You, Kindly

Please put any excerpt behind an LJ cut, and there doesn't appear to be a link in this post. Thanks!

Holy fuck. I hadn't seen this story before, but wow. That was hot, and angsty, and I'm suddenly very, very glad that this comm exists.

I mean, more glad than I already was. If this is what people bring in the first challenge, I can't wait to see what people rec in the future.

I'm glad you enjoyed it - that's why I liked it too! *grins*

And I'll pass your comments on if you don't mind.

Absolutely--has she written anything else in dS? I couldn't find anything, but thought maybe I was missing it.

[bertybertle.livejournal.com]

Nah, I've only just dragged her, kicking and screaming into the fandom. But I have high hopes. Yes indeedy! The girl has a thing for RayK that you have to measure in the millions!

WOW--thank you for reccing this, Berty! This is a tour de force! Where did you find this woman? Please, please get her over here to LJ ASAP so we can torture coax her into writing us more F/K fic. My mind is blown.

This story has a fresh, original feel to it. You're right about her ability to infuse a story with giant emotions. She managed that without melodrama, and I really didn't feel that any part of the story was trite or cliched. What an achievement. Just. Wow. I feel as mind-blown as RayK. did in that story. :)

Hey J! *grins* She's a writer from my first fandom, Stargate SG-1 - in fact she's a very well-known writer over there. And she's my best buddy too!

I have been TIRELESSLY bombarding her with the hotness of RayK and Frase. She finally caved and is a card carrying CKR freak now. *beams proudly*

And yeah, her style makes her stand apart IMHO. I'll pass your comments on if you don't mind. New dS authors are always a good thing.

YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!

Seriously. You *WIN* for doing that. \o/ \o/ \o/

Agreed, and agreed, and of course I don't mind! Thank you for passing my comments on to her.
