Contains spoilers for pre-'due South.'

Disclaimer: dS characters aren't mine, so the voices tell me. But I never listen.


Once upon a time there was a Mountie who loved his tunic of red serge so much, he would almost never wear anything else. He and his deaf half-wolf had ventured out of the woods on the trail of the killers of his father into the city where they met a pasta-loving, silk-wearing blind fox. The fox, who despite his most prominent feature couldn’t see what was right in front of him, helped the Mountie catch the killers.

The Mountie missed the woods but he had his red serge and the ghost of his father to remind of home. And there were plenty of rats to catch, so he stayed in the city. He lived happily with the merest crumbs the fox granted him and considered the hovel he lived in a luxury. His half-wolf seemed to really enjoy the rat hunts but not as much as the pastry the blind fox fed him.

Sometimes, the Mountie would return to the woods but would always hurry back to the city and the blind fox. Once, after his return, there was a strange scruffy wolf in the blind fox’s den…and everyone called the wolf by his friend’s name. The Mountie knew that the strange wolf didn’t look, sound, dress, smell, or act like his friend but he did seem to be just as blind. But the Mountie didn’t know this scruffy wolf was crafty; he wore glasses and wasn’t blinded by red serge.
