DS Fic: Volcanic Geranium

[zelempa]

I can now present to you my final and main help_haiti product, also my first due South fic, also my longest fic?? Somehow???

Title: Volcanic Geranium
Fandom, Pairing: Due South, Fraser/RayK
Rating: Explicit
Length: 22,000 words
A/N: Set not long after 3x04 "Strange Bedfellows." Written for help_haiti for my winning bidder, lucifuge_5. Thanks to yolsaffbridge for story development and beta, and to for nightshadow_t2 for more beta!

Fraser raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. "Lipstick colour names can be rather obscure. I assume it's a metaphor to describe something fragile and lovely but also dangerous and potentially capable of raining hot destruction upon an unsuspecting citizenry. On the other hand, it may refer to the fact that this particular coral shade is common to molten lava and geraniums. Don't lick it."

"It tastes like Jujubes," Ray reported.

"Nevertheless, resist the urge."

You don't mind if I don't post here, right? It's so huge I think it would take up three posts. (My first three post fic!)

Loved this story. I lost track of the number of times I laughed at the antics going on. Liked Amy and Joan, too. And Stella. Really, this read like one of the episodes. And Ray, oh my, Ray. You showed so many facets of his personality, his insecurity and ability to share what he was thinking, just blurting stuff out. Fraser took a chance on opening up to Ray, but it sure paid off.

Thank you! Yes, as is probably obvious, I do adore Ray's insecurity... and you're right, it's so much easier for Ray to open up--can't stop himself, really. I'm glad you liked it!
