Xover (Buffy/due South): Denser Still the Snow by Jane St Clair
Denser Still the Snow (Fraser/Kowalski/Oz | NC17 | 3,562 words): Ray finds Oz in the snow and brings him back to his and Fraser's cabin. This is a lovely atmospheric piece set during the long winter of the Arctic.
Excerpt:
"It derives from an Old English word-form meaning 'man-wolf'. Though the bite is still the most common means of transformation, many packs are familial."
"m'cousin. bimme"
Fraser nods. He gets up, walks over to the closet and digs for more blankets. Lays them on the bed.
"Are you coming, Ray? Or did you want to read?"
"Werewolf."
"I'm sure he'll still be there in a few hours. His leg wound will heal more quickly than a wound of yours would, but it's hardly instantaneous." Fraser piles logs onto the fire. He must have brought wood in earlier; there's a huge stack of it by the door.
Eventually, he gathers Ray up and takes him to bed too. Pulls him in and wraps up behind him. Both of them wrapped in fleece and wool, spooned up for warmth, facing the fire. Ray watches the werewolf sleep under his pile of blankets for a long time.
