Why this must be read:
This is one of those fics that just makes me happy. It’s got an interesting backstory, and lovely interaction between Ray and Fraser. Beautifully in character, and what isn’t said is as gorgeous as what is. Dira does a stunning job of giving us complete pictures with a minimum of description, each word carefully chosen. And considering it’s Fraser’s POV, that makes perfect sense.
Plus, it’s got an amazing explanation for Fraser’s incredible wordbank.
"Ray, I'm simply trying to say that if you took a less obfuscatory approach--"
Ray emitted an incoherent animal noise, and Fraser fell silent. "You're doing it again," Ray snarled. "You always do that, you always do that, you use your big giant words so on top of screwing up I feel like an idiot! I hate that, Fraser, it's as bad as the correcting."
Fraser opened his mouth to reply, and his internal editor stopped the words at the last second. He'd nearly done it again, resorted to his hypertrophic vocabulary to deal with his agitation, and he and Ray had been through that feedback loop often enough in the past. He didn't really want to get punched in the face again.
