What a great story. It's been a long time since I've gotten lost in a well-written, plot driven story. Your voice were right on, too. Loved it!

This story was just amazing. The description of Fraser's head hitting the ground sent chlls down my spine. And the subtle way you let us know about Dief broke my heart with it's beauty.

I love the way the story built with both us and Ray knowing something was wrong, but never suspecting the truth. Poor Fraser going off alone to deal with it. Although I wonder if he had intended to tell Ray, but hadn't after Ray reacted to his leaving. The moment Ray forces Fraser to acknowlwdge what they feel, to make a choice about where they go was stunning in it's rightness and emotion.

Thank you so much for this story.

This is beautiful. Beautiful. Just so much hurt and they're so stubborn and just ♥. I want to wrap them both up and keep them safe forever.

I'd leave more coherent feedback but I'm running out the door and I haven't actually gotten to the end yet. I'm sure it's as lovely as the rest.

Oustanding. My heart aches for Fraser and him trying to deal with it all by himself by shutting out Ray and running back to Canada. Then Ray forcing the issue that was always there between them. Loved them getting back into the cop partnership aspect of their relationship with the case, heck, I loved that there was all this meaty plot in this for me to really delve into.

Oh, it's always a treat for me to see Levon again! And I like Fraser slotting right back into Chinatown again.

Plus Ray stepping up and being the brave one is ♥.
