Oh, Brynn! Thank you so much for your feedback on my Angst story! When we were talking about writing from Fraser's POV I couldn't talk about the process behind this fic, which is the...second? thing I've done from his perspective. I'm glad you liked that dreamlike/distant narrative approach, and that the allusions to canon worked for you. (That's an awkward situation, isn't it? I always feel like I'm going, "Hiah, I watchez the show!") I love what you said here:

and someone else telling Fraser a story for once. The fact that he can initially only talk to someone who doesn't understand him just breaks my heart.

Yes, yes. Oh Fraser. And thank you for your comments about the ending. Some people have read the conclusion as deathfic, and that's a bit too dark even for me, but I loved your interpretation of the ending as a redemption. Thanks again for all of your wonderful comments - I'm so thrilled and touched by what you've said here. *snugs you*
