Here is my first attempt at dS fic. I've only been writing for *checks watch* about two weeks, so comments and criticism are more than welcome! Big thanks to [livejournal.com profile] jodie_mouse for the quick beta.

“Fraser, you just lick it and stick it in there. It’s not rocket science.”

Fraser frowned at the package. “Do you eat it?”

Ray leaned back on the couch. “Duh, Frase, it’s candy. What the fuck else do you do with it? You got candy up there in Canada, don’t you?”

“Well, certainly, but most of them attempt the pretense of disguising their merchandise as actual food products.” He checked the package again. “If I may say, they also have better spelling.”

“Well, Lik-M-Aid follows in the long and noble American tradition of jacking up little kids directly with metric tons of sugar. Eliminate the middleman.”

“So you take sticks of hardened sugar, dye and chemicals, you lick them, dip them into powdered sugar, dye and chemicals, and Mmph!”

Ray grinned, pulling the candy out of Fraser’s mouth. “What do you think?”

“I seem to be quite energized and sticky, Ray.”

Ray leaned in and slowly kissed him, tasting sugar and sweetness.

“Perfect.”

I really like this. Short and definitely sweet.

Sounds just like him! Congrats from another newbie. I promise you they're very welcoming here!

I think Fraser rubs off on us. See, just another unforeseen benefit to Due South. Making the world a kinder place.

I'm pulling out this icon in honor of your story.

“I seem to be quite energized and sticky, Ray.”

Very sweet! Great job with voices.

Ahh for the days of Pixie Stix and Lik-m-Aid. Nothing like sending us careening off the steel and concrete objects in the playground!

Cute, cute, cute! I love it, Ray corrupting Fraser on the wonders of a sugar-high. This was particularly Fraser-ish:
“Well, certainly, but most of them attempt the pretense of disguising their merchandise as actual food products.” He checked the package again. “If I may say, they also have better spelling.”

I could hear his voice as I read it. Nicely done! And welcome!

Ooh, those were my favourite candies as a kid! My favourite flavour was lemon-lime. Poor Fraser, the things he missed out on. :-)

Welcome to the wonderful world of Due South. Fun first entry to DS fic. You got both their voices perfectly.

Sweetness itself. Especially the kiss.

Oh, shyeah. Like we believe *that*. You're really a ringer with ten years of slashy experience under your (pirate) belt!

*g* Wonderful job--I only aspire to convey such a great little slice of character and sweetness in so few words. Welcome to the asy--ah, fold!

What is *checks watch* anyway?

"Checks (her) watch" to see how long it's been.

My mind is gone - I was beginning to think is was some kind of slash code : )

Er, sure it is. "Checks" means "throbbing" and "watch" means "big dick." I guess they never sent you the manual, huh?

:D

Ah, Shay...you're such a magnificent liar resource for all our newcomers.

Oh, and the story? Adorable!

You know something? Plot is highly overrated. I was scared to death of plot for the longest time, but after working up to it for a while, I turned around one day and behold--plot! If you have a good grasp of character, and you have, that will take you in other directions.

Welcome, welcome!

Some excellent Ray-voice and Fraser-voice here.

Lovely job. I can't wait to see what you do next!

I never heard of Lik-M-Aid! I would like to think my younger self would have discarded it out of hand due to the spelling! :-)
