Title: Lord Ray
Prompt: So, Ray suddenly discovers that he's actually the heir-apparent to some English noble family's estates - and that they apparently come with an arranged marriage attached. He's been sitting on his ass in Chicago, pining for Fraser and the NWT, so he doesn't actually fight it as much ashemight've otherwise and in short order is packed off to England to see just what he's had handed to him. Unfortunately, the estates are in terrible shape, he's not exactly in funds, and while there's nothing exactly wrong with his prospective fiancee, there's nothing actually right about her either. Plus, he doesn't appear to have any of the skills necessary to the job, apart from the ability to cut a mighty fine rug. But he's the only heir available and Fraser's instilled a major sense of responsibility in him, so he figures he'll give it a go anyway.
So, will Ray manage to restore his estates to their former glory? Will he escape the fate of a loveless marriage? Will he manage to get his man? Find out in the following 350 CHAPTERS!!!!

Post CoTW, set in England, but I've never been there so I'm sorry if I get something wrong. If you've been reading along, you probably figured out that I don't have a beta reader. I try to edit my own work, but after reading the same story six million times, it's had to notice mistakes if you didn't catch them the first time. I tried my best with this one, but there mostly likely will be some errors. I suck, I know. So, I apologize.
