Why this must be read: This is a first time fic that reads like an established relationship story because it is another example of my favorite Due South cliche of Ray and Fraser figuring out they are in a relationship well after the fact. It's a bit different than the previous fic I recced in that this is really Ray's journey as he finally realizes that he built a life with Fraser because he loves him. The story features lovely appearances by Ray Vecchio, Stella, and Maggie. I love the rhythm and feel of this story which is easy and gentle. You just slide into it and never want to leave.
A year ago I might've been all over Vecchio for not at least trying the salad, figuring he was being rude on purpose. After two days with both of them, I'm starting to see that it's not like that. This is just how Fraser and Vecchio are, how they've always been. They bicker sometimes, sure, but they like it. Which means, duh, Kowalski, they really are friends. That particular bulletin doesn't freak me out as much as the fact that I'm still not jealous. Why should I be? Fraser's allowed to have more than one friend, right?
Besides, he didn't ask Vecchio to rearrange his whole life for him. That kind of asking takes a lot of trust. Fraser's full of trust, if it's a politician or a salesman or some perp who swears up and down that he doesn't have a gun. He doesn't trust as easy with people he cares about. Can't say as I blame him. He's been fucked over enough to know better.
But he asked me to stay without a second thought. I can tell when Fraser has second thoughts, and that wasn't one of those times. He just flat out asked me, even after he'd been shit on all those times. Even when he knew I had a job and a departure date and a plane ticket back. No hesitation, and I said yes just as quick, and it's taken me over a year to finally figure out how big that is.
