Title: Busted/Tapestry
Author: anonymous co
Pairing: F/K + RayV
Rating: NC-17
Length: Longy long - allow a good hour to read each part.
Why I'm Reccing This Fic: This is a few-years-down-the-line-post-COTW story which starts with Ray being badly injured in Chicago and going to find Fraser for sanctuary and great sex. The characterisations of both men are wonderful and the development of their relationship is lovely as we see the renewal of their friendship as they deal with Ray's injuries then become something more. But it is the atmosphere and the description of Fraser's town (Owlcreek) which really does it for me here - it is perfectly Fraser! It is the NWT Bedford Falls, where Fraser is surrounded by kooky caring people who take Ray under their wing, and it just makes me feel safe and cared for. The sequel Tapestry is equally as good, perhaps better, as it concentrates on what happens when bad people try to destroy this haven, and examines the effects on Fraser, RayK and the visiting RayV.
I feel like I'm home, finally, after years and years of being trapped with Iron Maidens and pain and doctors.
So I sort of drift, listening to Fraser's hum, to his low voice talking to Dief and it's good, it's better than good, it's greatness, and then something warm settles over me, Fraser looking after me.
It doesn't make me mad, this is buddies, just Fraser, not someone fussing over an invalid, and there's a light touch on my hair, light as the brush of a butterfly's wing. Too far under to open my eyes, I sigh at that, more comfortable than I've been in what seems just about forever, and the blanket settles more snugly around me.
"Rest, Ray." A whisper, like a secret, and another touch and God, it's good to be here, I've missed him so fucking much.
He's missed me, too, seems like. Doesn't mind I dropped myself on him like a bad penny or something. No more hospital, no more worries. I'm free, just like I promised myself, and Fraser's here to watch my back. To let me just be.

P.S. If anyone knows of other post-COTW F/K living-in-the-perfect-small-town fics, then please tell me in the comments. I keep searching for them!
