Why this must be read:
One of my favorite things about dS is that it gave us three absolutely fantastic main characters, each complex and compelling and flawed and utterly delightful in his own way. My love for all three of these boys knows no bounds. So I chose this for my final rec because when an author gets them, all three of them, and writes them in a way that illustrates how amazing they all are individually, how well they work in various combinations of two, and then how triply amazing they are all together… not a lot in the fic world makes me happier than that. On top of that, I have a massive soft spot for the Rays taking care of Fraser, and Etben's Kowalski POV is a joy (which is hard; I think Kowalski is the hardest one of the three of them to get right), and the sex is scorching hot. There aren't many threesomes that I can really see working, but this is definitely one, and this fic is a shining example of how and why.
An excerpt:
That's the other part that the guys in the station didn't know, back when Ray and Vecchio first started working together and everyone was betting how long it would be before one of them wound up floating in the river, and which one it would be. They didn't know about—well, Ray doesn't want to call it the end, because it isn't over yet, but the part after that part, the part with the sex. With him and Vecchio and Fraser and the sex, specifically.
He'd thought about it, sure: thought about him and Fraser, naked and sweaty and gasping, and he'd liked those thoughts, but he'd put them back up on the shelf. He knows for sure Fraser thought about it—knows now because Fraser's told him, but knew even then, and ignored it, because that wasn't somewhere to go when he wasn't in his own skin, not if you wanted something worth keeping, and Fraser was always something worth keeping.
He's pretty sure Fraser and Vecchio thought about each other, too, back when it was the two of them together. He's not sure why that didn't work out, though—at a guess, because they were both too busy thinking of each other to be selfish and go after what they both wanted. Stupid, really, but Ray's not complaining. That's what he's there for, after all: to keep the two of them from going back into their shells and staying there.
And right now, that means helping Fraser out of this funk he's in.

And that's it for me! It's been an absolute pleasure driving the van this month; I hope y'all enjoyed the ride, too.
