GodDAMN. That's terrific. Perfect RayK voice throughout, beautifully drawn loving rage, and the sex scene is just--godDAMN.

Thank you so much! "Loving rage" is pretty much exactly what I was shooting for, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

OMGSOGOOD! Fraser all messed up and so stuck inside his own confused head that he can't even save his own life, and Ray all AAAARRGH! and in love at the same time, and then there's kitchen!sex (holy cow, the kitchen!sex!) and the whole thing is awesome! \o/!!!

atrata March 24 2009, 01:37:30 UTC

Heee, thanks very much! I think AAAARGH is about how I'd feel if I had to deal with Fraser for more than 30 seconds. *grin*

Hee...they are such FREAKS! Which you did such a wonderful job of conveying. The story had me on the edge of my seat, and the voices are pitch-perfect (Dief's and Dead!Bob's included). OUTSTANDING! \o/

atrata March 24 2009, 01:38:09 UTC

\o/ indeed! I'm very glad you liked it. (Also, I think I might just want to sit around and write Dead!Bob. He's totally fun.)

j_s_cavalcante March 24 2009, 01:58:13 UTC

Hee! Well, I'd hate to encourage you to write Dead!Bob over writing Fraser/RayK, because you have them NAILED, and that was a hell of a ride. I love Patience!Personified!Ray beyond the telling, and I think he showed gargantuan amounts of restraint, and I adored him mightily for it, because Fraser would drive lesser mortals bananas. I also love how you got across that Ray isn't perfect, either, and he's part of the problem. :)

I don't know what we did to deserve your showing up in our fandom bearing gifts THIS WONDERFUL, but I certainly hope you 1) stick around and B) keep writing! Thank you so much for sharing this.

And yes, you hit the characterizations dead on, with point-blank aim. You see this list of commenters here? *points up and down the list* We are all connoisseurs of the RayK voice and the Fraser voice, if I may be so bold, and we are clearly beside ourselves with utter GLEE. :)

atrata March 24 2009, 03:31:13 UTC

Well, I'm very pleased to be spreading around the glee! Everyone's been more than kind and very welcoming and I've had a stupid grin on my face all day. I... don't know if I'm going to write more F/K, actually; I guess we'll see. This is most of what I wanted to say about them, right here. But, then again, I never planned to write any in the first place, and before that, I never planned to watch the show. So I am obviously pretty excellent at follow-through! (Ha. Not that I'm complaining. I just often amuse myself with my own ridiculousness.) *grin*

But yeah, you're right, Fraser would drive pretty much anyone bananas, and Ray really should get a commendation from the mayor for dealing with him the way he does. And and I am happy that it's clear that Ray is absolutely part of the problem. Man, they are so full of fail I cannot even handle it. I am pretty much of the opinion that they're too fucked up for anyone but each other. *happydance*

Oh man... that is a terrific fic. A great mix of angst and hotness with just a pinch of humor thrown it.

I love that Ray's being the patient one here, giving Fraser time to get it.

atrata March 24 2009, 01:42:09 UTC

Man, I think anyone who deals with Fraser, ever, has to be ridiculously patient. I can't even imagine it. Anyway, yes, thank you for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

meresy March 23 2009, 22:32:07 UTC

Oh, man. Oh man oh man. I think you pretty must nailed every kind of tension with this one. Awesome.

And then there was the thing at the end, there. With the hot. Dang.

atrata March 24 2009, 01:43:46 UTC

Thank you so much! And also thank you for the rec; it's very much appreciated and says I may have actually managed to do what I was trying to do with this story. I think. Maybe. Whatever that was. *grin* Anyway, yes, thank you. :)
