Why this must be read: because it's an amazing AU that manages to realistically and deftly portray Benton Fraser as a FtM transgendered person.2corbies weaves the threads of the story between Ray and Fraser on their quest for the hand of Franklin and Benton's childhood, from the last time he wore a dress to his meeting with a sympathetic and understanding doctor to his experiences at Depot.
Additionally,2corbies subtly twists canon events to reflect Fraser's new reality and add whole new shades of meaning to those events. A fascinating, thoughtful read, made moreso by 2corbies steady storytelling.
Ray wrote his name in the snow once, just, Fraser supposed, to prove that he could. Fraser was envious, of course, but covered it well. He had laughed-- the last time he'd seen someone do that, it had been Mark Smithbauer, when they were 13. Boys' games. So he laughed, but carefully kept enough disapproval in his face that he could plausibly refuse when Ray said: "Your turn. Though I guess 'Benton' is a little harder. You got it in you?"
