Why this must be read:

I have to admit that I'm a sucker for AUs; I think I even prompted this over at

ds_harlequin which really isn't that important right now. Important is that even though this is a AU its true to the characters. The whole scenario comes true through them - this Fraser here is a perfect example of what he would personally sacrifice to do the right thing. And, of course, Ray is as persistent as we know him to be.

"Good afternoon, Stella," he answered, and Ray was right behind her, his hands stuffed deep in his pockets, and a somewhat pained smile on his face. "Ray," Fraser said, trying to calm his rapidly beating heart at just the sight of Ray, who was every bit what Fraser remembered, which was very much not a good thing.

"Hey there, Ben. Listen, I - I wanted to talk to you -" Ray's eyes were cast down to the floor, and he kept his voice quiet enough.

“Ray, come sit down. I have to be back in the office soon,” Stella said, almost sharply, turning around and looking at them both.

Fraser kept his voice pitched low. "Ray, let's go sign the contract for your wedding reception, shall we?" Ray looked up suddenly, and Fraser wanted to turn away from the half-desperate, half-pained look on Ray's face. He had barely spent an hour with this man, and he had no explanation of how he felt except for the fact that not a moment had gone by since Ray Kowalski walked into his office for the first time that he hadn't thought about Ray. And now, he was going to be there the day Ray got married and perhaps officially became the most inappropriate object of Fraser's affections ever.
