Title: Future
Author: Tara Keezer
Rating: PG-13 for upsetting visuals
Fandoms: due South/Battlestar Galactica crossover
Notes: More of that BSG thing. 600 words that are set before Patient, because I’m apparently incapable of linear storytelling these days. [sigh]
Summary: Fraser curls in on himself in an effort to hide.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... this hurt! SO damn MUCH!!!

Fraser!

[elementalv]

Yeah. He's not really having a good time on the base ship.

[nos4a2no9]

You are too funny. Sick, but funny :-)

[elementalv]

I think that pretty much describes me in a nutshell (emphasis on nut).

[akite]

OMG! I've got shivers.

[elementalv]

Fraser is well and truly caught between a rock and a hard place.

[burntcopper]

arrrgh. meep. also, :shudder:

[elementalv]

Callum Bear would hug you, but I'm not letting him out of the house just yet.

[j_s_cavalcante]

Ouch! *cries* And, oh, my God, what about the part where Leoben, whom Fraser is holding onto, looks like Ray? *weeps*

Well done.

[elementalv]

This isn't really a happy-go-lucky crossover. I never used to be all about the pain, but there's something about Fraser that makes me want to try and break him.

[j_s_cavalcante]

OMG. Not to be all Zen-like and everything (because that might require golf *cough*), but Fraser's already broken. The challenge is to put him back together believably. Sez me, anyway. YMMV and all that....

[elementalv]

I can see where you're coming from, but I think was on the edge of broken, but not actually broken, for a long time. He was hanging on by the thinnest of margins when he met Ray (both Rays, actually), and they went a long way toward giving him much needed reinforcement, but now? Neither is available, so I'm chipping away at the repair work to see what's underneath.

The sheer pain of this... I can't call it beautiful, but there is most assuredly a certain amount of exquisiteness to it. Fraser just does pain so well.
And figuring that the interrogation and patient file come from a later point makes me ache for what he's going to do.

[elementalv]

He's in the worst place he could possibly be, making the only decision he can possibly make, and he knows, he *knows* he might as well tattoo "Judas" on his forehead and be done with it.

And you're right -- Fraser does pain incredibly well. I suppose I should feel badly about doing this to him, but I can't. It just works too well from a storyteller's standpoint.

[cc_the_wolf]

Oh, don't feel badly. He's almost made for pain and if it has to be written at least you do it very well.
