You know, if anyone had pitched Fraser/Kowalski to me as "imagine a hilarious Eight/Fitz AU with MOUNTIES!" I would've watched the last two seasons of due South a lot sooner.


I've never seen these seasons but I'd gleaned the gist of the Fraser/RayV reunion through fannish osmosis; or I thought I had, anyway, since I seem to remember a lot of people whining their hearts out at the time about Ray being mean, which I didn't see (he's mildly, jokingly annoyed at Fraser almost blowing his cover, for all of three seconds). And, dude, Fraser standing by his hospital bedside with Full of Grace on the soundtrack is the SLASHIEST THING EVER, although it only holds that record for all of two minutes until RayK steals Fraser back and then it's an orgy of slash until the end credits ("If you'll have me..." killed me dead.) I'm terribly pleased that I know for a fact there's a ton of post-episode fic out there. Before I get to it, though, which season 3 and 4 episodes are best? I should watch them in order, I know, but I've got a lot of stuff on this weekend and I want something fun to watch.

My daughter and I basically mainlined dS, so I'm not terribly bright at picking out which episodes are best objectively; I will say, however, that for fic-reading purposes it's 100% necessary to watch Burning Down the House, Eclipse, Asylum, Strange Bedfellows, Bounty Hunter, Mounty on the Bounty, The Ladies Man, Odds, and Hunting season.

And also, if you've got the stamina, I spent the whole month of August 2008 maundering on about Due South in my journal, with extensive recs on most days; I also failed spectacularly at indexing the posts or getting them up on delicious. There are, however, the beginnings of a recs index the first week in September.
