I'm so glad you liked the story! I'm crazy about that icon of yours. As you might have gathered. *g*

And re: the gloves -- well, they look like falconry gloves; I can't quite figure why Mounties would need them, per se, but I kind of like the notion of Fraser having a pair (it seems like the kind of obscure/archaic thing he would own), so I decided that's what they were.

Anyway! Mighty glad you enjoyed it. :-)
