Reactions and Reviews
Why this must be read: Cutting hard against my immediately preceding rec, this story is very recent, and written by an author relatively new to dS; it's short and tightly focused; it posits a much bleaker aftermath for Fraser and RayK; it presents a pairing (Ray/Ray) which is still sort of marginal within the fandom. And it doesn't bring the happy ending. *g* Rather, it gives us a quick slantwise look into a possible future for these characters where there's no real possibility of a happy ending, if that's defined as getting what you want; as the title implies, if you can even get what you *need*, you're doing damn well. It's a razor-slice of a story, clean and merciless. It's also part of a larger story still in progress; aerye recently posted another bit, Taken, and I am impatiently waiting for more. I am not, by the way, recommending these stories because I was lucky enough to beta them; I think dS is freakin' lucky that we have a writer of this calibre joining us. I will continue to rec the classics here, but I will also from time to time highlight things that I think are classics-in-the-making. [2]
