Why this must be read: Waiting for the Thaw is a wonderful story about being afraid to fall in love again. It is set post-Asylum and canon is weaved into the story in a way that makes it seem like this is what was happening behind the scenes. I will warn you it is a flashback story.

Excerpt:

"No teasing," Ray told him hoarsely. "I want you."

Ray's earlobe, gently between his teeth. "How?" Purring the word.

Ray twisted in his arms, turned to face him. Pupils dilated with arousal. "Like the first time, Ben."

The first time. All his blood supply seemed, as Ray was prone to say, to have gone south.

The first time.

Memory spun backward in the space of an instant, and he sealed his mouth to Ray's, trying to silence it.
