Due South Noticeboard

Several years ago ride_4ever was kind enough to donate money to a fundraiser, and in return I created fanworks for her. It's taken me a while, but I wanted to wait until I was done with all of them before posting to ds_noticeboard. So here they are, most likely my last hurrah in the dS/C6D fandom. It's been a great almost-decade in the fandom, and I'm extremely grateful to all the people who I've met and interacted with during that time. Thank you kindly for everything! <3

It's deathly quiet, except for the occasional gust of wind that howls between the skyscrapers. There are entire blocks of the Chicago skyline where none of the buildings have collapsed, unaffected by the cold-induced metal fatigue that have toppled so many others.

Summary:

They stop for the day, even though the sun is just starting to dip toward the horizon. It's late spring, and there's still more hours of darkness than light. Fraser sets up camp while Ray starts dinner by melting water for rehydrated stew. They burn a lot of calories out on the tundra, so it's important to eat a lot of high energy food. During the day they snack on Fraser's homemade pemmican. For dinner, there's the stew, dried fruit, and chocolate and peanut butter for dessert. Fraser drinks tea, Ray has his coffee and they drink lots of water to stay hydrated.

Summary:

Every house plant that Fraser brings home dies. It doesn't matter how hardy the plant is, or how much effort Fraser puts into its care. He buys a moisture tester, a light sensor, a pH meter. He monitors the temperature, feeds the plants a proprietary blend of plant food that he develops himself and still they die, shriveled and brown.
