Why this must be read:
Geoffrey and Ellen pick up a stray: Ray, who's gone on a walkabout of sorts.
First, you need to know this is a corollary fic or sequel tokatallison's due South story, Go Gentle (warning: have tissue on standby). After Fortinbras is the perfect balm to Go Gentle, a hopeful story that'll leave you weepy, but in a good way. She nails the characters: Ray's bruised and grieving, and looking for new purpose to keep going. Ellen's nurturing but still prickly and very much Ellen. Geoffrey's terrified and excited, but willing to take a leap of faith fueled by the need to see what happens next. All three relationships, Geoffrey and Ellen's as well as the one they each begin to form with Ray, shine through.
Ray's lips are cool and soft, and he tastes bitter from the tobacco. His tongue darts into Geoffrey's mouth, just enough to make him shiver, and then Ray mouths at Geoffrey's lower lip as he's pulling away, and he licks his own lips and lets Geoffrey go. And all the while, he keeps staring into Geoffrey's face as though trying to decide whether he's real.
Geoffrey blinks and swallows. "Uh..."
Ray closes his eyes briefly, murmurs, "Sorry. Sorry," and then he turns, hefts a large rucksack from the sidewalk onto his shoulder, and walks away.
"Ray," Geoffrey calls softly, running on instinct, on the memory of being haunted. "Ray, who were you kissing, just now?"
