Why I'm reccing this fic: It's gorgeous. It's an AU set in Hawaii, wherein Ray is a cop on vacation, and Fraser is a geologist, studying volcanoes. One evening, a very inebriated Ray nearly falls of a cliff, and is only saved by this gorgeous guy who should be doing toothpaste commercials. (Ray calls him "Pearly" in his head before he learns his name.) Things go from there. I never really had any interest in Hawaii before reading this fic, but the stunning language describes the lushness and beauty of Hawaii with such love and perfection, it's impossible not to feel transported there, and love the stay - I never wanted to leave this fic. It's just so beautiful. This is one of my favorite AUs ever.
It was true what they said. When you looked death in the eye, time stopped. He had plenty of it now -- time to twist his body, time to grab at the dirt, time to kick the wall for a foothold. Plenty of time to think about what was waiting for him down there. Time to reach up for one last handful of dirt, one last wave goodbye.
When he felt the bones of his hand grind painfully against each other, he held on as hard as he could. Not his time, not today. Relief left him empty. Whoever was on the other end of his hand heaved him up with a grunt.
Boots. There was a pair of worn-looking field boots in his face. Whoever was still holding his hand had practical taste in footwear. And was really, really pissed. Ray couldn't see anything but the boots, but he could feel 'pissed off' coming off the guy in waves. Not to mention that what with the angle, his shoulder was starting to ache. He might as well get up and face the music; this was the most boneheaded stunt he'd pulled in a while.
Bracing himself against the hand, he managed to get mostly standing.
Sure as hell, the guy in front of him was furious. He was almost choking on it. He started sputtering as soon as Ray's face was in range, gasping out words.
