Why this must be read: because it's a wonderfully vivid portrait of how human Fraser is, a tale of a man heading into middle age and not entirely comfortable with it.mlyn shows the tender and sweet side of Fraser and RayV, of their life and how well they fit together. She also shows the problems they face and how they handle them, which adds a bittersweet touch of realism to this lovely "Five Things" fic.
He would arrive at work surly and out of sorts from pain, and his leg would give out occasionally, and he would have to apply a hot compress and take willow-bark tea to feel better. So on the days when the wind chill brought the temperature to subzero, he took the elevated train or caught a ride with Ray. Ray's impatience and anger with traffic frequently rubbed off on Fraser, but he always made sure to kiss Ray goodbye before leaving the car. After thinking so much on his parents' relationship, Fraser could see the value of the practice of not ending a conversation angry.
