Reactions and Reviews

getfraserlaid produced so many amazing stories that I think we'll probably be reccing them for the next few years. One of best ones is this amazing Vecchio/Fraser first time piece. I think that part of what makes it so wonderful is that it is simultaneously a first time story and a last time story. The prompt that justbreathe80 chose to write about was Ray and Benny's last time before Ray leaves for Vegas. Through out the entire story, there is such hope building, and even if you dislike the thought of Vecchio naked, you can't help but cheer when Ray finally stops freaking out and lets himself love Benny. It is so beautiful simply as a first time story, because she exactly captures the uncertainty and wonder of starting a relationship. But then when you consider that this is also the only time that they have together, it adds a real poignancy to this story. I still am in total awe of how she manages to convey the entire story of Ray's motivation to leave for Vegas in hints and bits. (As a writer, if I could show instead of tell like that ... I'd never stop writing!) And the ending makes my heart break every time. If you only read one Fraser/Vecchio story that I rec here, make this the one. It is just that good. [1]
