Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: PG
Length: 4,000 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: Yes, I know,jule112 just recc'd this story. But everyone NEEDS to read 'Want' right now. The author takes Kowalski's canonical character and extends it down a tragic path in this AU. Fraser, and Ray's attraction to him, are illuminated from an unexpected angle. It feels true, and it hurts. There is a slow and skillful reveal that I can only admire.
She smiled at him, out there on the street, groceries spilled all around the ground, and gravely said, "I forgive you."
It halted Fraser's flow of apologies, and he looked up from where he crouched at her feet, startled.
Her smile took on a tinge of sympathy. "I really do," she said.
It was ridiculous; it was absolutely ridiculous that he should feel a sudden, sharp pain in his chest, should be frozen, a can of peas in his hand, unable to draw breath for a split second.
She knelt beside him, and took the can from his fingers.
Want.
