Thanks for mentioning you're married; someone was a little too intrigued by the thought of a woman who can make her own explosives. "I don't know what her husband's worried about, she can make TNT." Yeah, down boy.
I liked how, in the midst of all all his confusion, you showed Ray discovering all the good things about being a woman. Sometimes in slash you get the sense that even though it's being written by a woman for other women that the author doesn't like women. All female characters are bitches, stuff like that. When I got to the part where Ray's telling Fraser about not needing recovery time, I paused and told my husband, "Yeah, being a woman is pretty fucking cool."
"...he'd just assumed they were attendees at a science fiction convention."

Just got back from a Con, liked that very much.
