Leaving Home is a Fraser/Kowalski story by Luzula.

Reactions and Reviews

Luzula has written a very believable eighteen-year-old Fraser who's not sure of his place in the world or his relationship with others. Ben's starting to think seriously about the practical ethics of policing, with a young, angry Eric to challenge him. Ben has the same desire for justice and care for people that we see in the show, but he's much younger and hasn't yet carved out a place for himself. Though "Leaving Home" does include a relationship between Ben and Eric, it's a very solitary story, focused on the inside of Ben's head more than anything else. [1]

Luzula’s Leaving Home is a lovingly-detailed, emotionally & politically intelligent Benton Fraser coming-of-age story. It paints in the particulars of his youth– the ways he is defined by the land, his family, and his community.[2]

Eric Kikitmeot in the due South episode "Mask" had impressive presence and an obvious prior friendship with Fraser. This piece gives a backstory for them as young adults from different origins, but from the same place. [3]
