wow, this is such lovely feedback! thank you so much!
yes, i'm quite taken with the adorable image of a sleepy ray, myself. inspirational it is. :)
but the kind of sexual violence that's such a focus in so many stories seems at odds with the man we get glimpses of on the show
i agree with you. i think everyone who contemplates fraser can see something different behind that facade of polite repression. and most of them are perfectly valid possibilities. but the ones i enjoy most and believe most in my own heart and the ones that include that gentle and instensely loving part of him. i agree that the desperate need is there, and i love stories that explore it. but i really think fraser would want something softer sometimes. that he really wants to be loved more than anything else. it's definitely not just you. :)
