Fic: Guilty Until Proven Innocent, second chapter

[keerawa]

Middlegame
Monday morning

Monday morning Ray was back in court, wearing his second-best suit. It felt like when he used to wait for Stella outside her dance lessons: excited, out of place, not too sure of his welcome. Was Fraser still pissed off at him for whatever he said wrong on Saturday?

yay--Diefenbaker not dead. On the last chapter

Whew. Dief's safe. As safe as he can be with Frobisher, anyway...*g*

Really like the way Fraser and Ray are winding each other up. Amazing the glass hasn't melted between them.

Fraser's been alone and hopeless. Ray's good for him. Sadly, prison glass is lust-proof.

Okay, that hurt.

Fraser's gaze flickered to Ray and away again. He licked his lower lip. "It's just that … even after I understood … and she had the murder weapon in her hands, I still … I wanted … Oh, God, Ray." Fraser looked bad, like he was about to puke, or scream, or maybe fly into a million pieces.

That was like a kick to the gut!

I really liked Fraser's "insults" during their speed chess...hysterically funny...

On to the final chapter...

I think you're the first person to mention that line, and to me it's the one that gives us a glimpse of the self-imposed purgatory Fraser's been living in.

Fraser's trash-talk still makes me giggle.

Thanks for the comment!
