Dearly beloved, by Estrella30 (Explicit)

Fandom: due South
Characters: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowlaski
Length: medium - no wordcount given
Author on LJ: http://estrella30.livejournal.com/
Author on AO3: no AND WHY NOT I ASK YOU? PLEASE, [livejournal.com profile] estrella30 COME TO AO3 SO YOUR GLORIOUS FIC IS EASIER TO FIND FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE LAME AT LJ
Why this must be read:

Because it's the perfect blend of angst and realistic happy ending, set post CoTW and including RayV and Stella's wedding, where there is poor communication and pining and making each other unhappy and not talking about it. Because sometimes RayK an Fraser manage to talk about things in canon, but then there is everything that goes unsaid that you just know could screw things up when you have to make big decisions about which country to live in and making a commitment to someone and just HOW DO YOU HUMAN. And, appropriately enough for a story about not talking about things, the writing is beautifully subtle and understated and lets you see all this without telling you everything.

Oh and it contains this line: "Scotch, neat, in as big a glass as you can give me without me looking like the jilted ex-husband." which is surely worth the admission price on its own?

Dearly beloved

A thing I haven't read! And you had me RayV and Stella's wedding, honestly, but I will stick around for Fraser and RayK doing the poor communicating and pining and HOW DO YOU HUMANING.

Totally proud! I am proud of you!

(I was more excited when I thought it was 50K words instead of 50...kilobytes, I guess? But I am still really excited)
