So I just had to reread this, because the entire first time I read it, all that was going through my head was, "Oh my fucking god - hth wrote new Ray/Ray. As in - new! As in - HTH! As in - oh my jesus lord, NEW HTH RAY/RAY!!!"

So, uhm, yeah. Reread it again now *g*

Wonderful, wonderful story. I think it's entirely true that Vecchio is the kind of guy that would come out to his entire family, just to make sure that he doesn't get screwed out of his trip to Italy.

"Purely ceremonial. Tradition, like I said. The family sent Maria and Tony, they sent Francesca and Dante, and I was not gonna get screwed out of my trip to Italy on account of your dick."

Absolutely perfect.

And the end! Gah! Tha love I have for the end!!

Ray nestled up against him and, just in case the thing wouldn't take if it was only half-done, he whispered into Vecchio's ear, "Vivo per te, amen." Not that he was superstitious, not that he stood much on ceremony or believed in magic words or fossilized tradition or even in guarantees anymore. But just in case.

I am dead. Death by Squee, I tell you.

*smooches you*

Thank you for this!
