You know what's awesome about this? I mean, aside from the lovely writing and the brilliant little details (Fraser's ability to identify the two different kinds of sirens he hears, Ray's muscles working as he punches that bag, the whiff of danish that doesn't exist) it's the emotional connections that really shine through, the way that Ray and Fraser move so slowly towards one another, each little step bringing them closer to that final realization. And the pay-off here is so sweet and soft, just like a soft-focus fadeout. What a great little gem of a story.
