Thanks to voiceless009, revbiscuit, justqueenie, and especially keerawa for beta help. Any remaining strangeness is a result of my own laziness and poor judgement.

Push Lyrics
Artist: Moist

A little bit more than I ever wanted
A little bit more than you could ever say
Did you really think that I'd forgotten?
Kicked out the windshield, water coming in
Fade away, fade away

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want? What you need?
Is this what you wanted me to be?
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through

I tried to give more than you thought I'd take now
Taking more than you could ever say
Push come to shove you kicked me in the head
You knock me down I ripped the handle off again
I wanted more than this, wanted more than this
Fade away, fade away

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want? What you need?
Is this what you wanted me to be?
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through

Hands gripped to the wheel held too tight to feel
Face pressed to the glass, please don't ask
One more breath, one more, it's alright
I could never give enough, have enough, be enough
You could never stand to stay there
Only only only, fade away, fade away

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want? What you need?
Is this what you wanted me to be?
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through
Push just a little too late
I wanted more than this
I expected more than this


I'm sorry this is um, less than stellar, you guys. And I'm also sorry it took me like six months of not working on it to finally get it finished. Wah.

Let me just preface this vid by saying that RAYK AND FRASER ARE MARRIED IN CANADA FOREVER. This vid is just kind of a... write your own happy ending! Yeah!

I'm trying to show in this vid the frustration RayK feels at Fraser dominating their personal and professional relationships, and how he's unable to push to effectively change the power balance. That frustration comes out in a temptation to do violence against Fraser and his explosions of temper against other people.

The lyric matching is pretty straightforward I think. A few notes:

Fraser and Ray's thwarted kisses leading up to Ray's post-Stella dancing juxtaposed with Ray and Fraser's partnership signal is supposed to imply that Ray wants an equal (romantic) relationship with Fraser, not just their working partnership.

I don't know if Ray and Fraser here are having sex or not, and frankly it doesn't matter, because this vid is not about sex or romance. It's about power.

Ray wants more than the working relationship he has with Fraser, and then in the next section he also wants to be a better police officer on his own than he has been, or has been allowed to be.

Ray tries it out in Canada, but the pattern of their relationship is already set, and it's too late for him to change. Which is kind of set up in the Ray Vecchio/CotW part, where it's implied that RayK is forcing himself to go along with Fraser in CotW because he's afraid of losing him either to RayV or to Canada (because "you could never stand to stay there"). But it doesn't work out, so he goes back to Chicago. And they are sad woobies.

But uh. It could still be a happy ending! Somehow... There could be *personal growth*. And a reencounter! And angsty sex! Everyone likes that.
