Oh, wonderful. I love all the stories, and I love this:

"Fraser," he whispered, so close he could feel Fraser's breath against his cheek. "You can lie to me if you need to. If that's what you need."

Fraser opened his mouth, probably to say, Thank you, Ray. Ray interrupted him with a finger on his lips. He heard Fraser's sudden intake of breath.

"Or," he said, "you and me can lie to the whole goddamned world and tell the truth to each other."

. . . because it is dialogue so pitch-perfect I can't imagine Ray saying anything else.

(Also, I happened upon "Mortification" earlier today and grinned the whole way through. Turnbull! How can I help loving him?)

I'm glad you liked them both! That bit you quoted was the first thing I wrote -- sort of the sourdough starter for the whole story.
