Unfinished Kid Fic by Dira
Title: Unfinished Kid Fic
Author: dsudis
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: would've been NC-17
Length: Long
Why I'm reccing this fic: I know most of you clicked away when you saw "unfinished," and to be completely honest, I know Dira, and it's really never going to be finished, which is why she put it up for WIP Amnesty. But, that said, it's 27,800 words as it stands right now. And it's a good, solid read, and you can see where she would have gone with it and why it would have taken 150,000 words to get there.
You get a great, great look at Fraser and Ray's relationship as they are edging towards being more than friends. You get a wonderful look at all of Fraser's issues over being in charge, being responsible, and taking care of a KID. It's post-CotW, and the kid is Fraser's half-brother, and Dira just does this really tremendous job here setting up what it would be like, what it would do to both Fraser and Ray's lives to have a kid there, suddenly, and it's just fucking fantastic.
And I don't even LIKE kids. Or WIPs.
“Ray, this is David. David, this is--” he faltered there, as he wasn’t sure what to tell David to call Ray, but Ray winked briefly at him, and dropped down into a crouch, putting himself at David’s eye level.
“Hi there,” he said, with a friendly smile for David alone, “I’m Ray.”
David smiled shyly back, and shook Ray’s offered hand. “Hello, Detective--”
“Detective?” Ray repeated, his smiled widening as he tilted his head. “Hey, did I say I was called detective?”
David shook his head, uncertain.
Ray glanced up at Fraser. “Well, do you call this guy Constable?”
David shook his head again, his smile returning in the face of Ray’s obvious good humor. “He’s my brother. I call him Ben.”
“Ben, huh? Well, see, he’s your brother and I’m his friend, so that means you and me are going to be friends too, I hope. And you don’t call people you’re going to be friends with ‘detective’. You call them Ray.”
David blinked, and Fraser bit his tongue, but to his surprise, David said what he was thinking. “Even if that’s not their name?”
Ray didn’t quite laugh, though his eyes twinkled with humor. “Always. Ask your brother if he’s got any friends around here who aren’t called Ray.”
David looked up at him, and Ben said, with the straightest face he could manage, “Just Diefenbaker, and I brought him with me.”
“Okay,” David said, looking back to Ray with a grin. “Ray.”
Over 27,000 words. And it's wonderful.
