Title: Bend It Like Benton

Author: ride_4ever

Fandoms: due South x FlashForward crossover

Categories: Gen, M/M

Archive warnings: creator chose not to use archive warnings

Characters: Ray Vecchio, Stella Vecchio (formerly Stella Kowalski) mentioned, Benton Fraser mentioned, Ray Kowalski implied

Rating: Teen and Up

Length: 300 words (triple drabble)

Summary: On Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 11:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time nearly everyone in the world lost consciousness for two minutes and seventeen seconds during which time most saw a vision – a “flash forward” – of their lives six months into the future: April 29, 2010 at 10:00 PM PDT. Some people, however, merely lost consciousness without experiencing a vision…people who were then presumed to be fated to die by April 29, 2010.

AN: The prompts given were shape, twist, break, tear, "Can't bend this night to end the way we want" from Challenge 62. I used all the prompts 'cause that's how I roll.
