The Warmth of Spring by Fuzzy Cat (NC-17)

  • Jan. 6th, 2013 at 1:28 AM
First of all a happy and successful new year to everyone. I started 2013 with the best of intentions, but it turns out that I managed to post my first contribution one day late anyway. Sorry!

Title: The Warmth of Spring
Fandom: Due South
Pairing: Ray K/Ray V
Categories: romance
Length: epic
Warnings: mild violence, profanity

Author Website: Fuzzy Fic

Summary: When Fraser leaves on a soul-searching solo trip into the North, the two Rays discover they have more (and less) in common than they thought.

Review:
Due South is a fandom that has been with me for a very long time. It's probably one of my first non-anime fandoms and event though I rarely follow current writers and stories in this fandom these days, I enjoy returning to my old favorites from time to time.

The Warmth of Spring and its sequel were one few exceptions to my Fraser/RayK restriction in the fandom. I never imagined that the pairing of the two Rays would work but I found that I love them even better than Fraser with any of the two Rays. Unlike the difference between the polite Canadian guy who can do almost anything and the hot-headed American cop friend, there are remarkably many similarities between the two Rays. Benton Fraser only being one of them.

I greatly enjoyed the development of the stories and the decisions the characters make. Reading this story is an interesting trip to the Due South fandom, that shows you an alternative to the Mountie/cop pairing that we all know and love.

The Warmth of Sping
and the sequel: The Heat of Summer

Thanks for the rec. <3

I'm always in search for long stories about this paring or Fraser/RayV, so your rec makes me so happy! And it's an epic. :D I can't wait to read it.

And btw, I understand what you mean by saying "I never imagined that the pairing of the two Rays would work but I found that I love them even better than Fraser with any of the two Rays" I felt the same when I started to ship Ray and Ray as pairing. :)
