*happy sigh* There is never enough Welsh-POV fic, and this was lovely! It is so like him, that eagle-eye that doesn't miss anything, and how he interacts with his men (and, er, women) with that gruff nurturing that doesn't let them get away with anything, either. The conversation with Fraser made me LOL - it was so vivid and true that I could hear them.

And Frannie was written so nicely, too, still a little silly but always well-intentioned and nowhere as clueless as she lets herself appear sometimes. It was so cute how she kept tabs on the developing relationship, and took it upon herself to keep Welsh in the loop. Hee!

But I think my favorite part had to be where Welsh and RayK played pool... I just might have a new kink. :D
