Notes: Maggie, RayK and Fraser, very shortly post-CotW, with bonus vestigial plot. Title courtesy of Stan Rogers. Many thanks to shihadchick for a quick, late-night look over this; all remaining mistakes are mine, mine, mine.

I really love this. You write just beautifully, and your characterizations feel dead-on to me. Brilliant.

This so needs a sequel for the Fraser-and-Ray-figure-it-out challenge. (What? You never heard of it? I can't imagine why...)

*whistles and looks around innocently*

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it.

(A Fraser-and-Ray-figure-it-out challenge would be so much fun omg. 'Hi, Ray.' 'Fraser? Do you know what time it is? Where are you?' 'The airport.' 'What, you're on the trail of someone's killers again?' 'Ray, I believe I've been labouring under a misapprehension as to the nature of my feelings for you.' 'Huh? ... oh.' 'Ray?' 'You stay right there, I'll come and pick you up.' andthentheyhavesex.)

This was lovely and delicate and true. Also, Peel's snark was priceless.

...CRAP. I gave him two names. This is what I get for posting at one in the morning. *runs to fix*

But thank you! I'm really glad you liked it.

Oh! Oh, I liked this a lot.

ow else to explain it but that the width and freedom of my home shrank my sense of self so that my desires became abstract, directed towards an ideal of companionship in place of the presence and physicality of a single person. It was a tide, I was drowning in it, and how could I have ignored it so long?

That's just beautifully Fraser.

Thank you! I was worried about maybe pushing obtuseness a little too far, so I'm really glad you liked it.

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it.

Oh, that was wonderful. Lovely Fraser voice, and I love the way the voices from his past help his current decision.

Also, there totally need to be more stories where Maggie and Fraser work on cases together.

the_antichris September 4 2006, 01:18:05 UTC

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

The trouble with Fraser and Maggie - they kept trying to wrap the case up in a single paragraph. Damn Mounties.

Fraser is dense sometimes isn't he?
I'm glad he finally figured it out.

And 'Grand Theft Snowmobile' made me snort with laughter.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. *pets poor obtuse Fraser*
