Why this must be read:

AC Chapin wrote some ownderful dS stories, both slash and het. This is one of her subtle slash ones. There are two reasons to like it. 1) It has a giggling Fraser in it and 2) It has some lovely banter too. Add to that a fluffy rabbit owned by Dief and you have a very nice snapshot for a fic that really captures a conversation. The ending is pleasantly subtle too.

"Hey! That's none of your business." Ray pulled the stack
away from him and files cascaded over the desk, burying the rest of Ray's
work.
"I'm sorry Ray. I thought it was part of a case."
"Well -- maybe it is, but that doesn't mean you need to read it.
Sheesh!"
"Don't be so touchy, Ray. It's wrong anyway."
Ray's head snapped back, gone suddenly from offense to defense. "Whaddaya
*mean* it's wrong?"
"Well, 'perish' with an 'e' means to die. 'Parish' with an 'a'
means a church community. Judging from the context, I would assume --"
"You're criticizing my spelling now?"
