From the Editorial

First and foremost, I'd like to thank Amanda Cook. This zine was originally Amanda's. She originated the concept for an all Hurt-Comfort Due South zine, announced it, collected the stories, and invited me to help as Co-Editor. Unfortunately, Amanda's life became a busy and bustling place, and after some deliberation, she decided not to continue, but to allow me to finish this zine instead. Amanda was one of the people who drew me into Due South fandom, through her hard work on the Fiction Archive, and then through her efforts with this zine. This zine would not exist but for her.

Here's a Thank You Kindly for Catalina Dudka. Cat saved me at the 11 hour with her wonderful artwork! She single-handedly made sure that each and every story in this zine has an illustration to go with it, as well as providing the Cover Art.

• Administrivia: The Fine Print by The Editor (disclaimers) (2)
• Thank You Kindly!, editorial by Seah (3)
• When Night Has Come by Katrina Bowen ("'Hi, Elaine.' Ray Vecchio opened the box of doughnuts on Elaine's desk and poked through them. He looked up accusingly as she yanked his hand out and slammed the box closed. 'Hey, don't be greedy. I was only going to take one of the jelly ones.' Elaine ignored that. 'We have to talk, Ray. Have you seen Ben yet today?'") (4)
• Anticipation by Elyse Dickenson ("Francesca Vecchio stared at the two tiny tubes of expensive lipstick. The plum red accented her skin tone, but on the other hand, the 'virtual' red brought out the highlights of her festive mini-skirted floral sundress. Which to wear? Which to wear?") (10)
• Surprise by Angela Rivieccio ("'I wonder what's wrong? Ray thought, an unconscious frown of concern marring his features. 'It's not like Fraser to be so quiet, especially not after a crack about Canada like that. Fraser's normal reaction would have been a "Ray, Ray, Ray...' followed by a ten-minute lecture that may or may not have included an Inuit story.") (15)
• First Strike by Quill ("Denying himself a quick look behind, Fraser picked up his pace just a little, but not enough that whoever was following would realize his cover was blown. The snowy pavement covered the sounds of any footsteps and all Fraser could do was keep his eyes on Diefenbaker for any clues about the person behind him.") (38)
• The Flood by Judy Stouffer ("It was lonely lying here, waiting for help, waiting for Fraser, waiting for Death... With a jerk Ray turned away from that thought. He wasn't going to die. Not here. He had a Mountie looking for him, a man that the other Mounties recognized as one of the best when it came to tracking and wilderness survival. Ray closed his eyes, and clung again to his prayer: 'Please, God, help Benny find me.'") (45)
• Gone South by Gillian Middleton ("'Ray?' He called out carefully. 'Ray, are you there?' But he knew Ray wasn't, his keen hearing told him that the other man was not in earshot. 'Dief?' He called out a little louder.") (60)
• Alone by Elyse Dickenson ("As he stuck the key in the ignition and turned it, a sinking feeling gripped Ray. The police radio turned on and a call pierced his ears. Why did he have the feeling that Fraser was somehow involved?") (65)
• Why Bear Is Afraid Of Coyote (Stories from Wind-Goes-Through-It Lodge) by Jane Mailander "Mighty Bear is a fierce animal, with rows of sharp teeth and long claws on his paws. He can kill any animal he wants. There was a time when Coyote was afraid of him, as all the other animals are afraid of Bear. But one day it all changed, and from that day on Bear has been afraid of scrawny little Coyote.") (108)
• One Time One Night by Katrina Bowen ("'Damn it, I don't need you to look after me all the time—okay, Fraser. This isn't your problem. I can take care of this without you. Just stay out of my life for a while, huh?'") (114)
• Ghost In The Machine by Sheila Paulson ("'You didn't see anything odd back there?' Ray asked warily. 'Define odd,' Fraser instructed, his eyes slightly narrowing as he studied Ray. 'Anything that shouldn't be there, all right?' Ray couldn't help snapping. 'Anything out of place?'") (122)
• Before Thee I Stand, Sinful and Sorrowful by Jane Mailander (134)
• The Third Woman by Celeste Hotaling-Lyons ("Adapted to the Due South universe from Graham Greene's The Third Man: "I remember thinking when I first heard the news over the police wire, 'Good! That's the end of her; the end of this whole damn thing! Serves the bitch right!' and about how bad it could have been if she hadn't... if she had come back to him alive. But when I saw Benny standing there at the funeral, the look on his face—well, for that moment at least, the past didn't seem to matter. See, the thing about Benny is this: whenever a woman walks past him, he looks at her like... like she's just a person or something. Even when they push it, he usually acts like he'd really rather not be bothered, or he's embarrassed. But this woman, she was something else. And I've never been sure exactly what it was she was.")
