Fic: A Passing Feeling

[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. :)
