Oh, wow. That packed quite the wallop. o_O And yet the hopeful ending, Fraser's determination that Ray is sick, yes, but not dying - I needed that hope, so thank you ever so much for providing it. &hearts

I liked the use of various POVs; and even though he's not my POV character I think I was most affected by RayV's voice. And the end scene certainly puts a wonderfully neat spin on the morning-after cliche, doesn't it? :D

Yay you! \o/
