I read the books more than ten years ago, but now finally and thanks to supply_closet and my recent rediscovery of due South, I am watching the first series, and it is so great to find fanfic for them. I read aukestrels wonderful Due South/HCL/TotC crossover with Brian/Billy Tallent and loved the Brian/Mouse bits there, and this story works perfectly within my fantasy contexts for the characters. Your Mouse voice is great and the sex very hot. Loved the story and can't help to wonder how Brian reacted to the gift :)
