Author's notes Beta'ed by the fabulous Lady Ra. I bid on Zelempa's offer to do art for a charity auction. I absolutely love her comic book style of illustrations.

Summary Set during Call of the Wild, Ray Kowalski struggles with hypothermia and what to do now that Fraser's old partner has returned and reclaimed his rightful life. Ray Kowalski might be half frozen on this Canadian mountain, but at least he's got his partner to keep him warm.

Laurie, you're writing due South now!! *glomps on story*

Well, this story at any rate. I bought the DVDs and watched them. They're all so much fun, and RayK and Fraser have such great chemistry. The art is really cool, that Zelempa did. I've podficced it, too, but I'm waiting for amplificathon to roll around again before posting publicly.

I loved it.... loved, loved, loved it! Not just the cartoons, which are excellent (I love to see our boys!) but also the story, which was very sensitively (and sexily!) done.

And, I really do hope that you carry on writing dS... but whether or not you do, I'm glad that you're enjoying the fandom.

I'm happy that you enjoyed the story. It's always a little nerve wracking writing characters for the first time and posting the fic, so I appreciate you taking the time to let me know the story worked for you. The Due South podficcers seduced me into the fandom. Zabira, Luzula, Arrow, Andi, too. I know I'm forgetting to name the rest, but my progression went from listening to podfics, to reading fanfic, to watching some youtube clips and when I saw a clip from Mounties on the Bounty and heard Fraser singing Barrett's Privateers, a song by one of my favorite songwriters, I splurged and bought the DVDs. Then I got the itch to write about the ending.

Thanks for reading and commenting,
