Finding the Words is a Fraser/Kowalski story by Berty.

Reactions and Reviews

There are so many stories that blame Ray's difficulty with vocabulary on childhood head injuries that it's almost become fanon. Finding the Words shows what a really traumatic head injury can do, and it's not quite as simple as occasionally stumbling over a word. Ray's recovery is long and rich with h/c and realism and his relationship with Fraser is wonderfully complex and immensely satisfying. A beautiful, touching fic.[1]

LOVE this one, must re-read it in a day or two. Basically, Ray suffers an injury that gives him slight amnesia and a speech disorder. Not only do we get nursing-back-to-health fic, but we later get the Return of Victoria. I need to find more fics about Victoria returning, because that was my only real disappointment with the third and fourth seasons of Due South. What I wouldn't give to have had her return and interact with Ray Kowalski.[2]
