Author's Notes:I hope y'all can forgive me if I get misty-eyed while I give snaps to the following people. Two fangirly thumbs up to the members of Ficfinishing for nudging me towards getting a first draft many moons ago. I'm infinitely grateful to my tremendous First Reader, Mizface, whose excitement and cheering kept me going. A million thanks to the super-fabulous Akamine_chan for the many late-night conversations. Finally, an extra-special-with-Mountie-on-top thank you to the kickass ladies who did Beta duties for this story: Exbex, Primroseburrows and Suzumonoko. The three of you went above and beyond simple comma wrangling draft after draft. I feel like the luckiest fanfic writer out there for having you watch my back as I hopped around with my plot bunnies. *high-fives all of you*

Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Year: 2010
Rating: NC-18
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: due South isn't mine.
Notes: I am very grateful to Isiscolo, Fredericks, Podfic_lover, and Miss_zedem, who between them have provided both criticism and cheerleading. Thank you all for keeping me going! If I haven't been able to make the most of your suggestions, it's entirely my own fault. I'm also very excited about the art for my story, made by Podfic_lover and Chibifukurou. Finally, I want to thank the mods for all their hard work.
Also, note that this story is slightly AU in that Canada had gay marriage at the time of CotW.
Ray and Fraser get married and move to Inuvik together. Happily ever after isn't as easy as that, though—Ray doesn't have a job, and living in an isolated cabin together may be fine as a honeymoon, but it doesn't work very well in the long term. This is the story of how their partnership survives, despite the odds.
