"Leaving Home" by Luzula (R)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: Benton Fraser/Eric Kitikmeot
Length: 12,800
Author on LJ: luzula
Author Website: Luzula's fic is also available on Ao3
Why this must be read: Luzula has written a very believable eighteen-year-old Fraser who's not sure of his place in the world or his relationship with others.
Ben's starting to think seriously about the practical ethics of policing, with a young, angry Eric to challenge him. Ben has the same desire for justice and care for people that we see in the show, but he's much younger and hasn't yet carved out a place for himself. Though "Leaving Home" does include a relationship between Ben and Eric, it's a very solitary story, focused on the inside of Ben's head more than anything else.
"...Do you want the RCMP to consist of old racists, or men who actually care about the people who live here?"
"You think it's that easy? It'll wear you down, Ben, until you're just another Mountie obeying orders." Eric shook his head.
