Fic: A Passing Feeling

[visionshadows]

[deep breath]

So this is a fic announcement. And unlike every other fic announcement I do that's due South related, this one isn't a ficlet. It's the first part of a series called Picture in a Frame which is about Fraser and RayK post-CotW. This part is called A Passing Feeling. I have lots of people to thank for this story. dayse held my hand every step of the way and waved pom-poms in my face until I wrote more of it. kittiec looked at the story and said 'Hmm. Fraser doesn't sound like Fraser. Fix that.' She said it a lot nicer than that though. ;) spring_1970 took a long look and said 'Hmm. They're touching an awful lot in public. Look at that closer.' Again, she said it much nicer. And finally, tigs who shrugged and read the story even though she's never seen the show and needed visual references for the characters. I love her muchly for that.

wow. This is so very good. The interaction between Ray and Fraser is perfect. The scene that sticks in my head (I read it last night before bed) is when Ray cries into Fraser's stomach, while Fraser massages his neck. Just perfect. So is the grief and how they all react to it. The kids are great. Well rounded characters with little personalities all their own. Wonderful job :)

Thank you so much! I love the idea of their relationship being built on little tender moments and not big romantic gestures. I love that moment you mentioned. *sighs* I'm glad you liked it, Karen. :)

Oh honey bunches...this is so good. I can't wait for the rest. I mean, it made me laugh and cry in the same five mintues. That is talent.

Thank you so much! The next part is being written now, so hopefully it won't be too long. I really love the kids and the world I'm playing in.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that it touched you. :)

You're welcome ;)

And I really liked that story. It was sad and happy and makes me love Fraser a whole lot more than I do already.

*sighs* Fraser is the best. :)

I really enjoyed that. I loved the interaction between Ray and Fraser and the kids. Typical put-upon parents who love their kids to death anyway. And I liked that your Stella wasn't the one dimensional bitch that she's often made out to be in the fandom. A really enjoyable story, and I do hope you are continuing.

I plan to continue. :) I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed this one especially Ray, Fraser, and the kids. Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed it. :)
