Ray Vecchio: Adorkable and Trying so Hard to do the Right Thing

[keerawa.livejournal.com]

There are two moments that come to mind when I think about why I love Ray Vecchio. One, in the pilot, is when cynical Detective Vecchio is sitting there at his desk with a pile of open cases, mouthing off about 'the dead Mountie thing' to a stiff in a red suit, and Fraser says says the dead Mountie is his father. And Ray makes a decision to help.

The second is Ray paying people $100 to come in off the street and listen to a Candian quote an American revolutionary, so that Fraser can filibuster the council.

Here's a vid I can watch anytime I forget why I love him so: sdwolfpup's I Don't Care as Long as You Sing.

Finally, Father Confessor is my love letter to Vecchio, one end to the other.

Hooray for a vid rec! \o/ And thanks for the self-pimping, too - I really like that story, and I hope it garners some additional well-deserved feedback. It offers such a fresh take of the character, and on storytelling in the dS fandom in general. I'm glad you posted, Peaches!
