due South: Curtains by Kat Allison
Curtains (Welsh-Fraser | G | 1,567 words): A consultant insists Welsh get rid of his blinds so as to be a better leader. It's a wonderful look at Welsh and what it means to be in charge plus how he and Fraser relate to each other.
Excerpt:
"Ah, Lieutenant! I see that your office has been returned to the status quo ante bellum."
He sighed. "We are back to normal, Constable, if that's what you're saying. For whatever value of normal pertains in this place."
"Indeed." Fraser stepped inside and pivoted, head angled. "If you'll excuse me--" He stepped over and tweaked the cord on one set of blinds until they hung so straight you could lay a level on them. "Ah, there we go." Turning back, he clasped his hands behind his back. "Though it's not my place to say so, I do judge this a preferable arrangement, on the whole."
"You're not big on creating the positive imagery of collaboration?"
