Silence, by Girl Clone

[claire.livejournal.com]

(I haven't yet read any of the others, I hope I haven't accidently copied someone's idea or anything).


I've often wondered just what would happen if I just went ahead and told him. Would he kick me in the head? Would he laugh? Would he tell me “Thanks, but no thanks. When I said I'd try anything, I didn't mean that.” Would he smile that brilliant smile and say “Me too.”

I've spent so much time wondering what would happen if I told him, that I hadn't considered what would happen if I didn't tell him.

“Frase”, he says fidgeting, “I kinda have feelings for someone”.

And for the first time in my life I just cannot speak.

Ooh, I like this a lot. Excellent voices, and a lovely sting in the tail. Yay!

Thank you. I still don't know who it is that Ray has feelings for. Although the happy OTP shipper in me insists it is Fraser, I suspect it may not be.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

OH! Excellent!

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[engenda.livejournal.com]

Ohh. Wow. This is great!

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[mergatrude.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! I'm hanging on the edge of my seat, not sure if I want to know what happens next!

[claire.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I want to know what happens next, either. But, y'know, it could be Ray and Fraser having hot monkey sex and then living happily ever after.

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Hmm. You're sneaky. Greatness.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[akite.livejournal.com]

Come on, Fraser. Talk! Good one, Girl Clone.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Yes, Fraser. Talk.

Thanks.

I like it - short and bittersweet. ^^

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I hope the next words out of Ray's mouth are something along the lines of, "And that someone is you." But not so cliched.

Nice work here.

[claire.livejournal.com]

I hope they are, too. I don't know who it is, though. Although I want it to be Fraser.

[tyk.livejournal.com]

clever use of the challenge. you evoke so much in a very few words.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[ilexa.livejournal.com]

Oh, I liiiiiiiiiike that. Very, very well done.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. One day I hope to write real fic, but until that day comes, I drabble. (and *hee*, I said "comes"!)

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Oh, niiice. I like the fidgeting.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you. In my head, Ray fidgets even more than I do, and I'm forever being told off about it.

[sjkasabi.livejournal.com]

What good idea, and a lovely, tight way to exploit it too! Gorgeous.

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[sprat.livejournal.com]

Oh, eep. Poor Fraser! This is really great!

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *pets Fraser*.

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

Yay. I love how you managed to put so much into a 100 words. That said, I really want more!!

[claire.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I wish I could write more, but I'm too intimidated by this fandom to try anything more than a drabble.

I'm excited but scared, too... this could -so- go both ways, as I'm sure you know. The F/K shipper in me is yelling "He's in love with you, Fraser!" but there's a part that's hiding over Fraser's shoulder, waiting to give him a hug when Ray says someone else's name...

[claire.livejournal.com]

Yes. I don't know which way it's going to go, either. (Although I'm a freak for a happy ending, so in my mind it's going to be some hot Ray/Fraser sex and a happily ever after).

[gurrier.livejournal.com]

I've spent so much time wondering what would happen if I told him, that I hadn't considered what would happen if I didn't tell him.

This is beautiful! Fraser's fear, his blind spot, the way you counterpoint the way he talks without saying anything with his silence here. Lovely.

Thank you.
