What's more, OMG, Fraser waking up and thinking he's still dreaming? That idea is another of my favorites; I don't know why, and it's a technique I've used myself in one Star Trek story and an as-yet-unfinished DS story, too. My point is, for some reason it's a particularly evocative idea for me, and I've had lucid dreams, and also dreams where I thought I'd awakened, and I hadn't, and just...this fic feels so incredibly tailored just for me that I'm amazed. You're psychic. And this is SO COOL.
It must have been one hell of a mucky, muddy week to put Fraser out that cold. I imagine he didn't sleep all week, overdid it as only he can do--to superhuman levels, no doubt. I love seeing Ray decide to take him home with him, taking care of him (and Dief) and OMG--touching his face and taking his boots off him both telegraphed Ray's feelings so well.I loved those touches! And AsleeponHisFeet!Fraser instinctively pulling Ray onto the bed with him...how great is that? :)
Also loved these bits especially:
Even now, there was probably some blah-blah-oblique-stroke-blah form lying in wait for him.
Hee! Perfect Ray thought! And so true of Fraser.
Unfortunately, he had a whole laundry list of reasons that sleeping in the same bed with Fraser was a Bad Idea, beginning with Inappropriate Feelings plus Tendency to Move in Sleep and ending with Fraser Transferring North.
Inappropriate Feelings plus Tendency to Move in Sleep = YAY! Hee! I love it!
He tried to answer, scrambling for an explanation -- I'm sorry; I was in Chicago and lost track of the time --
Hahaha! I love how your Fraser's subconscious works.
Ray's lips were warm and soft and perfect, and sufficiently distracting
OH yeah. :)
Oh, And this: , the lines of Ray's face utterly relaxed, his hair... well, not. Ben smiled. His subconscious had apparently spent some time considering what sleep would do to one of Ray's more exuberantly experimental hairstyles.
HEE! Exuberantly experimental! Fraser loving it. Yay!
Oddly, he'd dreamed them both fully clothed. He slid his hand up Ray's side, enjoying the slide of the soft cotton tee laid over Ray's wiry torso. The sensations were exactly as he'd imagined during his more ill-advised daydreams.
GUH!
He felt the brush of Ray's breath against his lips, then Ray's lips themselves. Oh. Oh, I didn't know, he thought and maybe attempted to say, because suddenly there was Ray's tongue pushing into his mouth, and Ray's leg pushing between his.
Eeeee! I love that soft "Oh, I didn't know," and I love how Ray's ability to shift gears so quickly saves the day.
This is just absolutely delightful. Better than birthday cake! Thank you so much. I'm overwhelmed. *squees rather a lot* Thank you!

That was my favourite line too. Well, that and Fraser knowing about lucid dreaming. HA! Of course he would.

And you've picked out the very lines that I was most pleased with!
Inappropriate Feelings plus Tendency to Move in Sleep = YAY!
So true. ^_^
