Oh, poor RayK *cuddles him*

Wow, this hit some pretty serious angstful buttons. I loved this : Ray has a sudden flashback to Fraser standing by the water with blood in his mouth, Ray's hand tangled in Vecchio's vest and his fist drawn back.

RayK does a pretty good job of keeping his anger under control. Well, he didn't hit anything, at least. And I liked the fact that he viewed them as a family. Sweet.

Great job!

[belmanoir]

Thank you! I think Ray knows that punching something would lose him ALL credibility in this particular argument.

And I liked the fact that he viewed them as a family. Sweet.

\o/ That's part of why I wanted to go with the marriage challenge on this one even if it wasn't the most appropriate---it's really about their commitment to each other and how they are a family.

I'm glad you liked it!

I'm not big on the OT3, but that was so sweet--and good. Made me happy, and I really need some cheering up today, so thank you. :)

[belmanoir]

Yay, my story cheered someone up! That is a wonderful thing to hear, so thank you. Hope your day continues to improve. &hearts

[meresy]

D'awwwwwww. That's just way too adorable, really. &hearts

[belmanoir]

hee, thank you! the schmoop, it soothes! almost like falling into a giant pile of shaving cream someone left in the streets of chicago, really.

RayK angst is the best. He's such a woobie, and so pissy about it at the same time. *loves*

[belmanoir]

so true!!! and by some mysterious alchemy the pissiness saves you from the diabetes...

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I LOVE this. I love that you were thoughtful about the comparison to Williams' Kowalski and Due South's, and how that would make Ray feel, and how he would react. And then I love that he has this post-outburst talk with Vecchio and feels uncomfortable and WOW, have I been there. And Ray and Ray declaring love! Squeals all around.

[belmanoir]

yeah, the post-outburst talks are never fun.

and thank you!!!! i am a big dork so i love intertextual crap like this, and REALLY, naming your child stanley kowalski? it's just so unfortunate. although when ray DRESSES like stanley kowalski, BOY does that turn my crank....

anyway, thanks again, i'm so glad you liked it!

awwwwwwwwwww...that just made me feel all warm and fuzzy EVERYWHERE.

i love ray's very sensitive reasons for not liking the name, and vecchio's wonderful sympathy for him, but honestly? the part that i keep reading over and over and cracking up about is this:

I suppose there are things that happen between a man and two other men, in the dark, that sort of make everything else seem unimportant.

HEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! FRASER!

[belmanoir]

thank you!!! indeed, FRASER! my favorite part, actually, is how fraser is just so...fraser that he ALMOST has vecchio convinced that that was in the play.
