This is delightful! What a perfect AU. I love it. Your character voices are dead on. The set-up works just beautifully. I hope it was a much fun to write as it was to read.
Hee! What a perfect last line! I totally knew what Ray's job really was. Hah! You did not fool me on that. Just on everything else, Turnbull and Dewey especially.
Butler won in card game! Could there be a more Harlequinesque premise? I think not. :) Fraser makes an exquisite butler. *sighs*
I think Vecchio will get a slick lawyer and get out of the worst. Maybe turn State's evidence on the Bookman. He won't be kept down for long! *believes* :)
Sweet kisses FTW!
Fun romp! And quitcher whining about the length. 13,000 words is an aperitif! A mere bonbon! :) :)
I *tried* to be subtle about Ray, but no fooling you! Except on the other stuff - I think Dewey being a Fed is my fave bit of misdirection ;)
And yeah, the card game ploy *is* very Harlequin (and did you see the other plot bunnies hopping around at the thread that started this? I'm hoping some more get written) I'm loving the image of Fraser as butler too. *joins you in happy sigh*
Vecchio probably will get out of it, and he may not be all that bad a guy. But he was fun to write as the heavy of the piece!
Sweet kisses are *always* FTW in my thinking. :)
And I wasn't bitching about the length... more like stunned. This was just supposed to be a synopsis for the Schmarlequin thread - I never thought I'd actually *write* the darn thing, let alone find 13,000 words for it! For me, that's a LOT.
Even if you didn't fool JS, you totally fooled me about Ray! I didn't see it coming at all. And aww, they're cute at the end, when they can't stop kissing.
That was a of awesome. Seriously, I actually had NOOOOOOO idea whatsoever about Ray being a cop or Renfield or Dewey or anything, it was just that awesome. ... Wow, I didn't spot them and I'm the one who's supposed to be a trained observer. Dammit.
I am so glad your keen observational skills were blinded by the awesomeness of this fic. :)
And I am amused that I made you swear, because I am *that* kind of (im)mature
On a totally non-dS note, this comment I'm the one who's supposed to be a trained observer made my brain go, "Wait? Blair Sandburg reads fanfic?" *iz a dork*
No, Blair isn't reading fic (kriffit Blair, Maori is plural and singular! [/rant]). I reckon he'd be horrified if he did. All these people who didn't believe a word of his little press conference... And then send him off to become a cop...
See, and I'm the type who loves when I get people to swear at me, or give me the finger (I actually applaud for that. Really.)
See, I think Blair should read fanfic. because while a lot of them copify him, he *does* get to have sex with Jim. A lot. So maybe horrified, maybe hopeful ;)

I especially appreciate hearing the voices are right - that's SO hard, even more so with AU.
LOVE your icon!!
