Wonderful.

The image of Fraser watching porn is going to be with me all day :D

[mikes_grrl]

I have to admit I stared too hard at that paragraph myself for awhile. I think Ray is going to have some fun with the porn thing, for sure! heh heh heh.

Thanks for commenting! (sorry I took so long to reply, the holidays got in the way of my fanfic obligations! oh no!)

my brain has been melted two different ways by this (and yes, that's a compliment):

First, the angst and insecurity and poor Ray, thinking that was it, nothing left to do but wait for Fraser to get tired of him.

Then the total hotness once Fraser found the porno. Good lord that was hot!

Because you asked, here's the typo I found (proofreader by nature) in the first paragraph:

but know he knew better: it was boredom. should be "but now he knew..."

Oooo thanks for the catch! Is fixed! ♥

I'm so happy you enjoyed the whole story, angst and porno and all! Thanks for letting me know!

Oh I love the way this comes across as very real, both the problems and solutions in an established relationship! Most bad sex challenges result in awkward-first-time stories, so this is a great breath of fresh air!

*hearts*

Thank you! I was trying to stay away from the first-time trope and this is what happened, so I'm glad it worked for you. Thanks so much!

Oh, that was painful to read. Especially how it echoes the ending of Ray and Stella's marriage.

Here are some typos (I always notice these things, and you asked, so...)

[mikes_grrl]

Oooo! Thanks for the fixes! I'll take care of those. Much appreciated!

I'm glad you liked it; I can't seem to steer away from the angst, but I had to give it a happier ending. I do love the idea of Ray comparing his life with Fraser to his past with Stella -- so much of a minefield!

Thanks again!

Oh, yeeeessss. HOT. Glad we can agree on that! We need more fic with Fraser watching porn. For, you know, academic purposes. *cough*
