Following a link here from dsficfinders, and I must say how much I love the voices you have here, both for Ray and Fraser but especially Fraser. Lines like:
Perhaps a great deal of what he’d taken for existential angst was merely low blood sugar.
are wonderfully amusing but also so very much what I see going on in Fraser's mind: he has that terribly practical streak all mixed up with a ludicrously romantic one :) I also loved the way this could have been incredibly overwritten, and yet at every point you pull back from that: they have open, honest, very adult conversation; Fraser's depressed but doesn't fetishize this woman he really doesn't know very well (a lesson finally learnt from the Victoria debacle); Ray's a little self-deprecating and a lot concerned, but very believable. An elegant little piece.
