That's okay, I'm not stuck on Young!Fraser per se. In fact, Y!F isn't my favorite because I can't help feeling he'd have had a hard time during and after Depot -- something during that time period certainly convinced him he didn't play well with others, even though he had friends in childhood who are still his friends as an adult.

I remember reading the part where Ben and Ray have Dot over for dinner. Actually, that's all I remember from it. But I just want to read the story! :-)
