um. does '*flail*' suffice? because, uh *is flailing* Seriously, it is far, far too late for the amount of giggling I have been doing with people around, and I think your Frannie parts are fantastically her, and, seriously, if I went through this and picked out all the bits I especially liked/thought were funny, I'd be running headfirst into the LJ comment limit and probably also sounding like a kiss-ass tool. There is SO much of this that I am head over heels for. I think it's a function of the way you write - all these perfect pithy little phrases and descriptions, the way you have such a knack for all of their voices - Ray's, Fraser's, and Welsh's and Frannie's too and it just makes me all kinds of wriggly with glee.
gaped like he'd just gotten his first pair of glasses and realized how fuzzy the world wasn't. Speaking as the visually challenged here, this is an incredibly effective image. Original, neat and clever. Nice.
And that KISS. Is just hot. And Fraser realising what he's drawn and that "Of course..." line is just pure, pure Fraser. Love it.
And then Fraser was mad again, for no apparent reason. "I am an adult, Ray. I shave, I vote, I lace my own boots."
And I loved that line too, b ecause that's an aspect of Fraser it's all too easy to elide or just work around without even considering and it's just so human, and I like human!Fraser just as much (if not more) than Super!Mountie.
And, just fyi, moments that made me do Turnbull-in-Mountie-Sings-the-Blues-esque squeaks: "low-contact specials", Ray's attention span, Ray not being very wide (oh, Frannie), Ray drawing the fruit bigger (projecting much??), the 'good with fruit' exchange, which, frankly, is just the sort of innuendo you'd expect in the show, He'd always felt safe in closets. (seriously, NO words. this was a cover-mouth-and-snicker moment, excellent comic timing on it, too.) Dead Bob and the crack about marriage. The bit where Fraser's telling himself it's just because he's concerned about Vecchio that he's looking into it. Whatever, Mr. Eloquence. (I've always loved how aside from that one sort of outlier moment, Ray K and Frannie do act a lot like sibs, too, with the sniping and fighting and the way they both kinda have that whole aphasia thing going on) There's also a lot of charm in Frannie (and she would, wouldn't she?) being more or less the diametric opposite to the majority of us in finding Ray unattractive for the most part. I liked that touch, too. And the way she bullied him into helping her (pure Frannie and pure brother/sister relation as well, in a cracked out kinda way), and then giving him a hard time about being pale. Just lovely.
In conclusion: yum, and HEE, and you should totally write Frannie more often (yeah, I just bet that's what you wanted to hear. ;) )
