ADDITIONAL NOTES:

-Fraser comes to Chicago on the trail of his father’s stolen research and gets a job as an adjunct faculty member (probably as an ethics prof or an alternative investigative methods prof or something) at a local university to investigate suspicious professors. Problem: Fraser has (1) no money (2) nowhere to stay (3) a very hungry wolf (see: Duran Duran). Fortunately, his long-time friend and oft consultant Ray Kowalski is here to help.
-Ray works at a Chicago university as full-time, tenured faculty. He’d offer his buddy Fraser a place to stay, but he lives in on-campus professor housing, which is apparently reserved for full-time professors and their family.
-Ray and Fraser fake marry. Which is like real marriage except the love confessions come later. Ray, Fraser, and Diefenbaker eventually catch the bad guy (you can use the first episode as reference http://fly.hiwaay.net/~warydbom/duesouth/episodes/ep100.htm) and settle down to a happy life together in Chicago. Fraser gets a job with the Canadian consulate, but continues teaching a class or two per term. Probably.
-Robert Fraser, newly retired, exists as an irritatingly frequent caller.

-I saw “Royalty” as an AU option and was suddenly tempted to pull a AND THEN RAY KOWALSKI DISCOVERED THAT ALL THIS TIME HE’D ACTUALLY BEEN ROYALTY—THE PRINCE OF CANADA, OMG! Be glad of my self-control. (Let me know if you’d prefer to do that one, and we’ll talk ^o~)
