This is all lovely and wonderful and hot and fun, but this

And Kowalski did, with both of them blended into one skin-colored shape moving faster and faster behind the condensation of the mirror in a flat-out race for the finish line.

REALLY got to me. A lot. *rereads happily*

[china_shop]

Eeeee, yay! Thank you! *smooshes them all*

[sage]

I love this SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

*snugs you tight*

[china_shop]

You are SO WELCOME! *snugs back even tighter*

BOOOOYS. I, um, might have gotten a little teary-eyed at the end there. I love the format of this, the back and forth, and especially the way it was good before Fraser but better after him. It's a nice way to validate both pairings. Also, there's lots to quote, but this hit me in the heart:

In the attic at his Ma’s house there was still a carton that contained a standard issue RCMP Stetson with a bullet hole through the crown.

*hearts*

[china_shop]

Awww, I made you teary-eyed! *gives you a tissue* I'm so proud! So very glad you liked it. Thanks! *beam*

This is loverly and hot hot tho, but this part particularly struck me:
the sun stopped glaring like the desert and just shone like on a normal Chicago summer’s day. Vecchio's just fighting his way back from that, isn't he? Armando never drove himself anywhere.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Oh, thank you, because I *completely* missed that. Distracted by the hotness, I guess!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I love this *so much.* I love it as much as these three love each other, and that's saying a lot. *g*

[china_shop]

Yay! Thank you so much! *beam*

“But I’m not fucking to the sound of gargling Eskimos.”

*cackle* A valid protest, if you ask moi.

Absolutely lovely, and fun and yummy! I quite like that the "befores" are already excellent. They don't need fixing. Yet, the addition of Fraser does make them better. Yay!

[china_shop]

Hee! And yay, thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! *beam*

[etben.livejournal.com]

awwwww! this was exactly what I wanted today - thank you so much!

I love how good it is between Ray and Ray - and then how it's even better with the three of them. Oh, boys.

[china_shop]

The more, the merrier! \o/ Thanks! *beam*

[hurry-sundown.livejournal.com]

I guess slashing dS is a lot like love - you can always make more room in your heart. This would explain why I now swing both Rays and am totally copacetic with F/K/V. Well, that and fic like this. The title is remarkably apt, too. It's pretty damn terrific with Ray and Ray. But add Fraser? Ka-POW!

Ray rested his head on Vecchio’s shoulder. “I’m good.”

This *points up* really got to me.

Excellent balance of sweet and hot (hot!) in this, baybee. *g*

[china_shop]

*beeeam* Thank you so much! *smooshes them all together*

[akite.livejournal.com]

I loved all of them, but the after part of #1 cracked me up. "You should see the mess I left in the kitchen." Hee!

[china_shop]

Hee! Kowalski is a terror! *g* Thanks!

[mickeymvt.livejournal.com]

Oh boys *squishes them together*

I really liked the back and forth nature of this and all the ways that Fraser made things different in some ways and better in others.

[china_shop]

*squishes them, likewise*

Yay! Thanks so much! :-D

[agentotter.livejournal.com]

That was both deeply awesome and deeply hot. I full approve. :) I completely love the theme, too, and the way that you've put it together. What a great format. You rock my socks. :)

[china_shop]

Thanks so much! I'm very glad it worked for you. *beam*

[ifreet.livejournal.com]

I was smiling all the way through the first four. Sheer affection in both the Befores and the Afters is terrific. I may have had more to say, but I'm distracted by the fantastic hotness of the fifth part. I can't begin to be articulate after reading that.

(Oh, but Vecchio needing to drive, but not able/willing to say why? Awesome.)

[china_shop]

Hee! *wins* Thanks so much! :-D

(*pets Vecchio*)

[viciouscats.livejournal.com]

*happy sigh* So lovely and hot!

[china_shop]

*beam* Thanks!

[panijeziora.livejournal.com]

then found himself with his arms full of Kowalski, who apparently couldn’t discuss anything with him without it leading to sex
i bet he doesn't complain XD

“I thought the plan was to make it to the bedroom this time,” he murmured
but wall sex is so hot!!!!

all in all great story, really liked before and after with the car:) and that rayv still has that poor hat of fraser which was shoot so cruelly XD

[china_shop]

Thanks so much! *beam*

*smooshes them all together*

[catwalksalone]

Oh, yes! With the affection and the love and the hot, did I mention the hot? and the uncertainty and the hints of damage and the hot and the naturalness (not a word?) of them coming together and the hot and ...

*keels over with the weight of awesome*

[china_shop]

*wins* Thank you so much! :-D

[buzzylittleb.livejournal.com]

I think I'm dead. *chalks another one up for ms shop*

[china_shop]

*buries you in the back yard* Thanks! :-D

[eledhwenlin]

*flails* Love it. :D

[china_shop]

Yay! Thanks! *beam*

[lamentables.livejournal.com]

*grins broadly*

It's so happy. And I love that before doesn't need to be broken in order for after to be an improvement.

[china_shop]

Yay! Thank you so much! :-D

[omphale]

Damn you and your shiny, shiny Ray/Ray.

*glowers at the world*

*rereads because of the awesome*

[china_shop]

Hee! Sorry!

Thanks! \o/

[jadelennox]

K, I loved this whole thing, but this? If only Baden Powell could see you now

BROKE ME.

[china_shop]

HEEE!

Thanks! :-D

[meresy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love this. Like, actually more than I love everything.

The structure, the snark, the hot, the boys. *smooshes them*

I am going to bookmark this and read it a lot!

[china_shop]

*smooshes them too*

Yay! Thank you sooo much! *beam*

“You finally got domesticated, Kowalski, is that it?”
not that i was skeptical about your title or anything to begin with, but when i got to the first paragraph of (1)-After, my first thought was: "SOLD!" ;D

“You should see the mess I left in the kitchen.”
gah! naughty!RayK is the bestest!! i can't help but feel like you've put a kitten, a puppy, and a wolfcub in the same house! ♥

“Go back to bed,” Vecchio told him gruffly.
Ray rested his head on Vecchio’s shoulder. “I’m good.”
that's love, right there!

and Vecchio and Dief were sleeping side by side on the couch.
oh!!! *speechless* ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

can’t stand being chauffeur-driven &
the sun stopped glaring like the desert
O__O i want to be able to write like you when i grow up.

and he had his arms full of the men he loved.
*warm fuzzzzzzzzz*
thank you for sharing this lovely brilliant piece!

*wins*

So very glad you liked it! Thank you! :-D

he makes everything better!

[kormantic.livejournal.com]

He's the SECRET INGREDIENT. However, all that Ray/Ray Before Before Before-- oh, fuck, yeah.

Re: he makes everything better!

[china_shop]

He IS! He's like magic!

Thanks so much! :-D

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Aw, sexy and sweet, and the structure makes me happy.

[china_shop]

Oh yay! Thank you! *beam*

[mlyn.livejournal.com]

I love the before/after convention, especially the touch of humor with the multiple Befores in #5. Witty, sexy, and so perfect for our boys. Thank you! \0/

[china_shop]

Oh, cool! I'm so glad it worked for you! Thanks! *beam*
