Reactions and Reviews

What can I really say. Shrift writes fic that literally melts your eyeballs out of their sockets. This is no exception. [1]

I just found this one and fell in love with it. It has a sweetness and humor to it that I just couldn't resist. It had me smiling and giggling (yes, giggling as hard on my dignity as that is) all through it. I don't think it was meant to be humorous, but I find the ones that are usually aren't. I hate it when humor is forced, I love it when it just flows and you find yourself laughing without realizing it. Those are the best to me, when they have an honest humor to them. This one is sexy too, I found myself shivering from some of it's hotter moments. Whoo, this one just did it for me on so many levels, I can't say enough. It's really just a PWP, but I've found alot of times in DS the PWP can be better than the longer stories. The writers of this fandom have a real grasp of less is more. Of taking small moments and making them jsut so damn hot, without losing the love, sweetness or intensity many PWP's can lack. They've sortof redifinded in this fandom that PWP's don't have to suck. Many, including myself, don't like them because often you lose characterization and any real love between the characters in them, the DS writers actually seem to capture it better in them. This one is no exception, she channeled the characters to get them so close I'm sure. Oh, I just love Fraser saying fuck too, did it for me as well. Read the story and you'll know what I'm talking about. [2]

Some of my favorite Due South stories are ones that pick up on a tiny little fact or detail from canon and manage to work it into a full blown (ond often, very hot) story. Excitable is definitely one of them.

Fraser comments in the episode Hawk and a Handsaw, how Diefenbaker is fascinated by blonds because he never saw people with blond hair in the North. Shrift manages to work this into a fic that will nearly melt your eyeballs right out of their sockets.

One of the most amazing things about Shrift, in my opinion, is that in every fandom she writes in (and lord, there are many), she's prolific, and talented and gets voices and mannerisms of characters so spot on you can very nearly see the exchanges that she writes, actually happening in canon. [3]
