Oh dear, I seem to be making a high pitched noise . . . This was the perfect way to end my day *g*

Oh, I love this! I love how the pieces sketch in a larger world we can imagine for them, and their relationship (camaraderie? ease-with-tension?) is deeply satisfying. Yay!

Lovely. I like the build-up/momentum as the parts get bigger.
(Hee, I mentioned parts getting bigger :)

This is awesome and really cleverly constructed. The first few sound like random events, but when you get to the last one, you know they're not. *hugs the boys*

I love this so much. This just works as a five things story so well, too, which makes it even more satisfying. I love the whole five things subgenre, and I love it when the story really FITS, and it isn't just a conceit.

Great buildup, delightful resolution. *loves more*

My icon says it all. Except for when they were teasing Dief with the danish. That was just cruel. ;)

Oh, Ray. Just lovely.

I'm not normally a fan or these "5 things" snippets but these are perfection!

all linking together to make the big picture. So wonderfully sweet!

Oh just lovely. It's a nice slow build. I'm especially fond of #3, because it give the idea that Ray's learned to translate Dief. Great stuff.

Oh, I liked this a lot! And actually, #1 is the one that makes it all work for me, that sets it up so beautifully in a quick sketch with a few lines.

"You're delusional, furface. What danish?"
i should put this on a teeshirt and wear it! ;)

ran his hand through his hair, leaving it lopsided and ridiculous. Fraser's heart swelled.
oh hearts!

raised his hand to Fraser’s cheek, his thumb skating over Fraser’s jaw like a whisper.
this is a beautiful frame!

i love that Fraser doesn't let Ray do all the work, that he goes for it once he sees the signs ;D
thank you for sharing this lovely! ♥
