Learn to Speak Canine in Seven Easy Steps
Title: Learn to Speak Canine in Seven Easy Steps
Author:
etcetera_cat
Pairing F/K
Rating: PG-13
Length 7000 words
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!
Consequently, in order to spare Ben’s feelings, Diefenbaker has always been slightly economical with the truth when it comes to just how good he is at interpreting human language. And, yes, okay, also the fact that he isn’t exactly totally deaf.
Though, to be perfectly honest, Diefenbaker is of the firm opinion that humans actually make more sense if you don’t listen to them. They spend that much time flapping their lips and pushing air about, that they seem to completely disregard— and, indeed, don’t even seem to understand— well over ninety percent of their own body language.
Master species of the planet? Only because they invented Krispy Kreme.

^_^;; That was indeed my first attempt at writing for DS. Usually I just lurk like an extremely accomplished lurky thing with a masters degree in lurking...
