Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm working on an expanded version of this now - there's more about that in the comments above, if you're interested. And I might beg a beta off you when it's closer to being finished.

I really adore Ray's fearlessness. He is just so fucking brave. It can play as recklessness or impulsiveness, but I think it's really that he's terribly, terribly brave and willful. It's not an accident that his heart is out on his sleeve; that's a choice that he's made. Fraser runs into physical danger and he can be pathologically stubborn but he's something of an emotional coward. Not his fault, I think, and it's probably something of a miracle that he isn't even more bat-shit crazy than he is given his history . . . yeah, I love them a lot, too. The more I write them, the more I love them. And I feel like I'm really starting to get a handle on my version of these characters' voices, although they're a little bit different in each story because the backstory and situations are a bit different. The Fraser in "Something Good" is a LOT more neurotic and fucked up than the Fraser in "Fait Accompli", which is more realistic, probably. But issues of prophecy are at their core extremely serious so this is a more serious story than Fait Accompli. Even though I hope it will have it's funny moments, there's that frozen ghost overshadowing everything, the consequences of getting it wrong.

I use the pretty pretty RayK icon that you made for me for this comment, in honor of wonderful, brave RayK.
