Also, on the completely unrelated subject of random-ass folklore and magic realism, selkies are strange and fascinating in a way that makes me desire completely bizarre AUs.
I accept that I am probably entirely alone on this.
OMFG DUDE, I was just thinking about this. Because a story that's always, always stuck with me is one of brighidestone's from her Fairy Tale Series in which she mixes the Sentinel with Selkie folklore. And it is beautiful and heartbreaking and I wish someone would do something like it in dS.
Hahahaha. Oh my lord. I can just -- I can just see the AU now. Because honestly, in due South, it's just -- entirely too possible, what with Fraser being such a freak. Maybe he really is a selkie...
*nodding* And even in the not literal sense it's such a nice depressing metaphor -- Ray having Fraser here in Chicago, but Fraser-selkie wanting to go back to Canada/the sea.
It is a very good, subtle film full of quiet magic in all senses, about a girl and people who may or may not be selkies on a remote Scottish island. I highly recommend it.
