Author's Notes: I wrote this months ago but it's raining like the end of the world outside tonight so I finally got to finish it. My apologies to Canadians and people from Tennessee, Chicago, and anywhere else I've managed to get horribly wrong.

Let us be lovers, we’ll marry out fortunes

I don't really go for death and destruction angst but I'm really into complicated characters having complicated relationships.

That's fantastic. I'm really into that level of angst myself, because I feel like that how things should work: there should be equal parts of sadness and joy.

And I like your point about Fraser; it's completely true. Throughout his development in the series...some people still tend to see him as this very two-dimensional character as he's portrayed on a superficial level. But there are so many glimmers throughout the show, in all these situations (I mean, just look at the whole Victoria experience) that he's a complicated guy, and that his restraint is for a reason.

I'm going to be a complete nerd here, and hearken back to Dana Scully from The X-Files (if you're familiar). My point is that, throughout the show, she had such issues with control, and reconciling her rational persona (the doctor side of her) with her emotional self. I think that any character like that, who has a career (and even rearing) where they are expected to be rational, calm, and calculating...really has trouble reminding themselves of their humanity. So when they're presented with an emotional situation like this, it's very difficult.

(You can tell that those types of characters are my favorites :P)

And now here, I've rambled on nonsensically. But you must be interesting to write this little piece! :P

Happy travels!
