My weekend

[gwynraven]

So I took Friday off for Samhain, did the grocery shopping, carved a pumpkin, roasted the seeds, made two pumpkin pies, and built a fire in the fireplace from scavenged wood felled by Gustav (I did the same with Katrina wood in 2005 - feels appropriate) all while listening to my now-traditional Samhain CD - Loreena McKennitt's The Visit.

"all while listening to my now-traditional Samhain CD - Loreena McKennitt's The Visit."

You too, eh? : )

"Also spent some time reading old Due South fic to get me in the winter mood (works every time)."

I suppose I should have realized such a thing existed...Heck, if I'd known about fanfic back when that show was on, I probably would've written some...anyway...

Yup -- lots of Fraser/Ray K. slash :) It's one of the few slash pairings I honestly truly think would actually work, long-term, and there were actually quite a few hints in that direction in the show (and, I hear, more specific innuendo in the bloopers).

Due South fic has a tendency to give me a warm fuzzy feeling and a longing for the winters of my youth.

Actually, I think Fraser/Ray K. slash is sooo wrong, although just off the top of my head I can think of two quotes that people would cite as evidence: When they're in that tomb and Ray asks Fraser if he finds him attractive (that whole sequence is probably the funniest scene in anything, ever) and then in the baseball one when Fraser tells Ray his poncho is "very fetching." Oh, and then of course the "Mounty on the Bounty" episode...and then that one time when...never mind, there's lots of evidence, isn't there? : ) (I'm glad you mentioned this in your post, now I'm laughing remembering all the great moments in that show.)

Yeah, there is a lot of evidence. Do you mind me asking why you think it's a bad pairing? Is it a general dislike for slash (which I can understand) or is there something about the characters themselves you think wouldn't work (in which case I'm curious, because I have a hard time thinking of any characters *more* suited to each other)?
