I. Sasdfghjrfhj. I can't actually form words for my love.

This is everything I want in a fluffy F/K/V story, okay? *hearts forever*

I'm finished, now I think I get to go to bed, but this is just to say that I am completely incoherent now and this is ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT BECAUSE THIS STORY IS JUST TOO AWESOME TO COMPREHEND ALL IN ONE SHOT I MEAN SERIOUSLY YOU RULE!

Right, that's enough of capslock.

Oh this is was wonderful! And HOT! And loving and sweet and insightfully spot on with characterizations. You really held back from making any of them too sad or tragic or emo, and I appreciate that, while still giving them complex emotional lives. You captured the bits and pieces that make up the heart and soul of these guys -- Vecchio's smile, Kowalski's almost-innocence, Fraser's prickly charm -- and I LOVE this line:
...Ray was sort of scared to go touching some of the things that went on in Fraser's heart.
Wow, yeah, I can see that.

Great story, well told, beautifully written! Thank you!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! here via meresy's rec.

"Forget it, forget it," Vecchio said, actually laughing a little. "So Racine's out. Where'd you live after that?"

"The Consulate," Fraser said, quite naturally, but Vecchio made some aborted violent motion with his hands and shoulders, and when Ray glanced sideways, Vecchio was glaring at both of them.

"You just stayed in Canada?" Vecchio demanded, and put like that -- put like that, Fraser had spent two years crammed in a box and Ray had assumed it was just one of those freakish things he did, but Vecchio made it sound awful, not like a normal Fraser thing to do. Ray's hands curled tighter on the steering wheel. Number of things he did not actually know about Fraser: rising.

"It was an entirely sensible and fiscally responsible move, Ray," Fraser was saying, polysyllabic and faintly annoyed. So Vecchio was right to be upset.

I HAVE WANTED THIS FOR SO LONG OMG. Also the whole gravity/magnet imagery=PERFECT.

oh wow. This is probably the best V/F/K story I've ever read.
You manage to change the mood so quickly, from a weird tug in my heart to me laughing my ass off - and yet it still feels organic, like a complete whole. Amazing.

Too many good lines to quote; this is definitely going to my hard drive for many, many rereads.
