Stellar. Ray discovering Fraser's life isn't hunky-dory really tied it all together. I always believed there was an unspoken understanding of each others pain that they wouldn't really voice on the show because it would have been... well, painful. But I like this too. The gradual realisation, Ray getting out of his own head and looking at the facts that are Fraser and... well, the entire outcome.

On a more trivial level, I once actually left my bark tea in my other pants.

On a baser level: the fic got soooo hot!

Thank you! This is the kind of thing I wish I could write. I loved it.
