These stories and fanvids are based on Alliance Atlantis's show due South , and I own neither the show nor the characters, alas.  Many are slash or have slash elements; in other words, two (or more!) men in a romantic and/or sexual relationship.  Some of these stories contain explicit sex, and are marked NC17.  Other warnings as indicated.  Although I've split up this page by primary pairing, many of my stories are difficult to categorize and/or have multiple, background, or implied pairings.  Read the header information!  "Ficlets" are shorter than 1000 words and are in my livejournal; other stories are on this site. If you read and enjoy these stories, I would be so, so happy if you let me know, either by the email form or by leaving a comment.  I don't care how long it's been since I wrote it - I always love hearing that people like my stories!
