Thank you!

I've got a few lines of a sequel written, actually, set a few years down the road after they finally manage to get together. I was tempted to make it the second half of this fic, but decided it would probably work better as its own thing, assuming I ever manage to finish it. :)

He'd thought the fancy red uniform was so much like a cape, but it just didn't turn out the way he'd planned!

This has such a lovely, light tone to it. It feels like a very natural progression of thoughts.

Thank you! I'm glad the structure feels natural; I tinkered with it a lot before I got it to a place where it didn't feel too didactic.

Introspective Fraser may be the best thing ever. And once again, Dief plots with the best of them ;)

Thank you! Of the several Fraser/Thatcher stories I've written, this might be my favorite. Well, maybe the long S&A crossover beats it, but only by a bit. Anyway, I'm glad you like it.
