that's how they are, loyal and wry and loving and so damn protective of each other, and in everything together, for better and worse.

Yes! I agree! I love the RayV-Fraser vibe--even in the non-slash way, because Ray is so there for Fraser and so openly dedicated to him, even when he's being driven up the wall by him. And Fraser is so there, too. It's like the epitome of friendship. There are so many instances in the series where Fraser's in a tight spot and the camera shifts a little and Ray is just there. I guess I wanted to show the other angle, where Fraser's there, too. There's something so... clear about their love for each other.

I'm so glad you liked this, and also, thank you so much for the really lovely rec. *goes blushy and runs away*
