DS Match Fic: Lift

[keerawa.livejournal.com]

Title: Lift
Author: spuffyduds
Pairing: K/V, F/K/V
Rating: R
Length: 6,200 words
Why I'm reccing this fic: There are lots of things to like about this story. It's the first wing-fic I've seen that captures the creepiness of the concept, as it slots neatly into Ray's nightmares of being an inhuman freak. Fraser's reaction when he realizes that his Rays are together is strikingly in character.

But the thing that makes me keep coming back and re-reading 'Lift' is the author's vision of Ray Vecchio, post-Vegas. This is a man who knows what he wants, and doesn't give a damn what other people think. He's cautious yet centered, loving and confident, completely ignoring Kowalski's fucked-up boundaries to transform the thing between them into an actual relationship. The idea that Vecchio's time undercover could allow him to grow into THIS person is wonderfully hopeful, and the entire story leaves me with a warm glow.

( a brief taste )

Lift.
