It was an unusually quiet day at the 27th precinct. Ray Kowalski,
currently undercover as Ray Vecchio, noticed his partner, Constable Benton
Fraser, RCMP, was using one of the precinct's computers to surf the
internet. 

"Find anything interesting there, Fraser?" Ray asked.

"Yes, Ray, I have," replied Fraser. "Are you familiar with the concept of
'fanfiction?" 

"Yeah, sorta," said Ray. "Used ta read Star Trek 'zines when I was a
teenager. " 

"And are you aware of the subgenre of fanfiction known as 'slash' ?" asked
Fraser. 

"No," replied Kowalski. "What's that?"

"Well, from what I have read here on this website, 'slash' is a story that
features two protagonists of the same gender in a romantic and sexual
relationship with each other. The writers put a slash between the names of
the people in the couple, such as Kirk/Spock, which is why it is called
'slash', " the Mountie explained. 

"Uh-huh. Okay, that's real inneresting, Fraser," muttered Ray.

"Well, take for example this particular, er, 'fandom.' It is based on a
television show featuring two police officers, one of whom is an American
and the other who is from another country - they don't seem to specify
which one. They are from completely different backgrounds, the
non-American detective uses methods that his American partner finds
extremely unorthodox, yet they maintain a close relationship. In 'slash'
stories, their relationship is sexual rather than simply a close
friendship." 

"That sounds really far-fetched, Fraser. Two guy cops having sex?  An
American cop having a partner who's from another country? Pretty silly, if
ya ask me," said Ray. 

"Yes, well, it is fiction after all, Ray."

"And it'll stay fiction. That kinda stuff never happens in real life,
Fraser." 

"Understood, Ray. So, what are we going to do tonight?" the Canadian asked
his partner. 

"Same thing we do every night, Fraser. We're gonna go home and I'm gonna
make love to ya, and yer gonna make love to me," the American replied.

"Perhaps we could do something different this evening, Ray. I shall make
love to you, then you can make love to me." 

"Sounds good to me, Frase. Turn off the computer and let's get at 'er." 

"Right away, Ray."
