AO3 pageWhy this must be read: I am not sure what to say here, since this story blew me away and I really want you to read it, but I don't want to spoil it for you, either. I came to this story with very little knowledge of the Dresden Files, but that didn't matter (there is a Faery court in Chicago, that's pretty much all you need to know). I have no idea what you'd get out of it if you knew DF but not dS. Anyway, there are some character insights into Ray Kowalski here that just gave me a huge wave of love for him. It's about Ray, his competence and persistence and vivacity and how he relates to Fraser and the North, and there are some pretty neat ties between Faery lore and due South canon, too.
