Fraser/Vecchio (F/V) is the due South slash pairing of Benton Fraser and Ray Vecchio.
F/V Fandom
F/V was the original slash pairing in the fandom, but it went through a period of decline with the introduction of Ray Kowalski, eventually leading to the Ray Wars, as the F/V and F/K fans battled it out for which Ray was the 'real' Ray, and which one was worthy of being the OTP.
During the post-war cooling off period, the F/V pairing increased in popularity, and is once again a popular pairing.
