Fic: Sorry Doesn't Cut It (due South)
Aug. 13th, 2004 09:59 pmTitle: Sorry Doesn’t Cut It
Author: Ivy
Fandom: due South
Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters. Nuff said.
A/N: Written sort of for a challenge about a month late. Figures that my first due South fic would feature Ray Kowalski, despite only having seen one of his episodes. As for the science – corn starch is a dilantant fluid (try it yourself and see!) though I have no idea if it would stop a bullet. Best guess, it wouldn’t. The bullet’s impact is probably over too small an area and in too short a time to allow the fluid to solidify, and even if it did, it would probably shatter. But whatever. It would be cool. And I’m sure if you had enough corn starch it would stop a bullet (hell, enough water stops a bullet), but I think I’ve beaten this point to death. Read the story. Cross-posted to ds_flashfiction.
