Why this must be read: Because
secretlybronte has a special touch with Ray Kowalski and this fic showcases her abundant skills. She has the ability to capture the complex personalities of the characters and the universe they inhabit, presenting it in a unique perspective.
At the heart of
secretlybronte's talent is her love of Ray Kowalski and it shows in every careful detail that she uses to bring him to life. She shows him as a man, as a cop, as half of a partnership. She shows us characteristics we don't normally associate with Ray. She shows us a man who is content to make it through another day with his parter at his side. She shows us love.
Our Fair Share Of Abuse is a meaty casefic, long and complex, following Ray on the trail of a rapist that's terrorizing the public parks of Chicago. We watch as Ray does what he does best: interrogate suspects, chase leads, run into dead ends, follow his instincts.
It's also a story about relationships, about romance, tangible and heartwarming.
This Ray and Fraser are real—they argue, they snipe, they work through their problems as best they can. Their partnership is tight, solid. And a wonder to see.
