Why this must be read: Okay, so when this was written it was third in a trilogy that has now, delightfully enough, grown prologues and pre-prologues and intermissions and so it's now, like, five-teenth-and-a-half and still one of my very favorite Ray/Ray fics of the rip-you-to-pieces-and-make-you-love-it school (*waves school flag wildly*). The whole Lost & Found 'verse is awesome -- porny and heartrending and funny and dorky and stunning and adorable by turns -- but The Power of Grace is the story that I love most forever and ever and it can stand alone if need be. So you should read it. Now. And also the rest of the series, too, if you know what's good for you. (Cat's fic is good for you. As is Vecchio. Vecchio in this story is very, very good for you.)

Oh, and this was written for the

vecchiofest (AMAZING fic came out of that fest) prompt "If you break down, I'll drive out and find you/If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you/Stay by you, when it don't come easy." Ouchy good prompt. Ouchy good fic. Yes.

Is it the crash or the violent swearing that wakes me from the disturbingly pleasant dream I'm having about a 90% off sale at Armani? I don't know. But I'm flinging the comforter off, sitting up in bed, rubbing my eyes with finger and thumb and watching him yank clothes off hangers and stuff them in a backpack. My first thought is that Welsh has called him in on some kind of job — why else would he be out of bed before me? — but then why would he need clothes? My second thought is accompanied by a clunk in my stomach as it occurs to me — undercover. There aren't any more thoughts.
