He laughed again. Fraser would come home soon, home to them and everything would shift, there would be three in the space where two were, and Kowalski’s cock was hot and slick against his own

This may be the best line I've read in a Ray/Ray fic. Fraser would come home, but here's Kowalski and it's good now and it'll be good then, and ohh, yes, I love this.

[llassah]

thank you! Ray/Ray when Fraser's lonely makes me cry *is a wuss*, so I like making it optimistic, but...still about RayK too, not RayK as a bridge to fraser. I'm so glad you liked *beams*

[primroseburrows]

It's definitely Ray/Ray. Happy!Fraser is a fringe benefit, which comes later when you write the sequel

I like the whole style, the feel of this piece.

The chases were there, the closets were there but the resonances had shifted, rules had changed
Yes. Perfect.

And I love Kowalski talking his way into sleep.

[llassah]

thank you so much- I was wibbling over the style for a bit writing it, so I'm so glad it paid off. And talking into sleep is cute in fics (I witter to sleep in real life too *wins*)

They never talked about Benny. On good days, his absence brought them closer, bad days he flung them apart

LOVE that line, loved the whole thing. This is amazing to the point where I need to read it again, like, right now.

[llassah]

ohhh yay! I'm SO glad this was a readagain fic for you *twirls*

Those summer days of curtained bowers and clumsy kisses, Irene had smelt of suncream and strawberries. Stella was Chanel No 5 on special days, lavender soap on weekends. Kowalski smelt of himself.

God, I love scent porn. Beautiful all the way through.

[llassah]

yeah, I pay so much attention to smell in real life. Thank you *beams*

Oh! You are such an amazing writer. brynmrck is absolutely right: you have such a wonderful and unique way of fitting words and phrases together that everything becomes beautiful, everything feels like poetry. I loved your Ray/Ray here: they're snarky, sure, but everything is prefaced by this history of others, and they've found each other at the end of a very long road. I'm going to echo all the love floating around for the OT3 mention you threw in (amazing, that) and say that this story is exactly what a Ray/Ray fic should be: hot, hopeful, a little melancholic, and absolutely gorgeous. Happy birthday to jamethiel_banes, and thanks so much for posting this fantastic piece.

[nos4a2no9]

Aaaand because I'm awesome I spelled poor jamethiel_bane's name wrong. *headdesk*

[llassah]

ohh thank you! From suh a lyrically gifted writer, that means a *lot* *is all mutual admirationish and cute *g** I think with ray/ray, you have to have that history, because they have so many exes and castoffs in common, so it's more...weighted. And of course, I am *too* much of a softie to leave Fraser out of it. Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to write it *g*
