Why this must be read:
Many a dS fan has wondered, "what if?" about the quest for the Hand of Franklin--and many a story has been written about their journey. I adore many of the fandom classics, but I wanted to point out this newer post-CotW story.

This long story about how Ray and Fraser take their relationship to another level is leisurely, contemplative, and satisfying. Glossing's RayK voice is good, and Fraser is also present in all his mysterious, Fraserish glory (Fraser's declaration of love is perfectly weird, totally in character).

Because everything was different and backwards and perfect up here. Ray had never been *opposed* to the idea of guys; it was just that, like the idea of other women, it was purely hypothetical during the Era of the Stella. Before her, he'd been more interested in Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots than touching, and after her, he'd given it a try a couple times, but *nothing* lasted very long in the Aftermath besides the turtle.
