Pairing:Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: PG-13
Length: 7,500 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: This story has a Ray Kowalski who falls uncontrolled through space and time into moments that his heart decides he needs to visit. He visits a young Benton Fraser (perfectly in character, I think) who captivates both Ray and the reader. Ray worries away at what could have turned this care-free child into the careful, self-contained man he knows, and finds himself appearing again and again on little Benton's doorstep. At the end, I heaved a deep satisfied sigh.
When Ray appears this time, it is just in time to see little-Fraser—Benton—take a nosedive out of one of the little arctic trees. The fall would have disconcerted even his Fraser, but the kid just picks himself up and launches himself forward, towards Ray, shouting, "Mama! Look Mama, he came back!"
At the speed he's going, it doesn't take Benton more than a few moments to reach Ray, and he tumbles to a stop as soon as he does. Now that Ray knows who he is, he can't stop himself from staring, cataloging everything about him.
Kid has a scratch on his cheek, and his elbow has a band-aid on it that doesn't really cover the scrape there. There's dirt under his fingernails. His hair is longer than Ray's ever seen Fraser wear it, and would be curling around his face if it wasn't blown all over the place, probably by his running and climbing and jumping—falling—off things.
Ray has barely a second to notice these things, because the boy—fearless like his Fraser—is already full of questions, breathlessly stumbling over too many of them at once.
"You came back! Where'd you go? Are you a ghost? Mama says you might be a ghost."
