What a wonderfully conceived story! Loving it. (here via the CKR files)
The Stetson makes him stand out quite enough. He nearly left it behind, but he felt peculiar going hunting without it. SUCH nice characterization.
"Just keep that. Just put it away." He wishes he could hide pieces of himself away somewhere, some place safe where he could collect himself later, 'cause he's kind of washing away, here, and the scary thing is that he mostly doesn't mind. Ouch.
Oh, and the fact that Crystal's son is named Ben!
"We're always safe, he's never kissed me, and he won't let me kiss him. I keep him warm, I remind him to eat, and it's your name he calls when he comes, not mine. If you've never even bothered, then why are you so determined to find him and bring him back?" Plus, Fraser's conversation with Dief later regarding Rob's proposition.
Dief nudges Fraser's right hand, the one still curled into a fist. Sweet. :)
All those years before, and he's never killed anybody 'til now. *whimper
