Why I'm reccing this fic:Truthfully, one of the most poetic and moving dS stories I've read. Sicky!Fraser is a fairly small part of the story but is just one more way we get to see the love between two amazingly crafted characters. The relationship between Fraser and Ray is optimistic without being overtly romantic. The author claims to be first time and unbetaed. Of that I am deeply suspicious because the emotional journey is simply masterful.


Monday morning I sat up in bed and threw off the covers. I was uncomfortably hot and tugged at the cold, soaking wet long johns I was wearing. Sweat soaked my hair, rolling down my face and collecting at the base of my throat. Agitated, I tugged again at my clothes, the buttons slipping from my fingers.

Ray staggered into the bedroom from the bathroom looking disheveled and half awake. “Okay, okay. I got you.”

As he quickly unbuttoned me he asked, “Do these come with zippers?”

I answered him seriously, “No, I don’t believe so.”

I don't remember if I ever sent feedback for your story. It was one of the very first dS fics I read, and it's still one of my favourites. Ray and Fraser are very much IC, and I love the plot and the details and obvious work you put into it. It's one of the best fics to rec for new fans who want a full flavour of who Ray and Fraser are and why they have to be together.

Um. So, anyway, if I hadn't sent feedback now, this is it. I could go into detail on which parts I like best but I'd definitely exceed the comment character limit. :)

Ray and Fraser are very much IC...

That is a huge compliment because as much as I wanted to explore them I also wanted to be true to character. Canon was so generous with the subtext that I felt like I only had to veer a couple degrees over this way and not far at all. :)

No need for detail. It just makes me very happy that enjoyed so much of it. Thank you!
