Why this must be read:
Few in fandom can write angst in such an amazing way. In this fic, we see a hanging-by-a-thread Ray wanting to reconnect with an aloof Fraser. Why is the Mountie so determined to keep an obviously distraught Ray at arms' length? What exactly happened back in Chicago that has left Ray so utterly close to being broken? How was their partnership undone?
Nos will make you cry as the story develops and the answers start to fall into place. It's beautifully written and dripping with enough angst to give the story more than a patina of reality. This could very well become one of the classics for dS fandom.
It’s damn cold, too. So cold it steals his breath. The wind sweeping in off the runway tears through him and makes his eyes water, and Ray instantly hunches back against it. He tries to make himself as small as possible. His body knew this kind of cold, once. Lived with it, day in and day out, for nearly four months. But he’d forgotten, somehow. Forgotten how much it hurt.
Inside the terminal it’s blissfully warm and bright, and he waits for his single bag (no carry-ons, not in a plane that small) with a kind of bleary patience that is the gift of total exhaustion. 52 hours now since he’s last slept, and he doesn’t know how long it’ll take him to get to Fraser’s place.
