Oh, that is so painful and beautiful and it blooms outwards like a flower of realisation.

Wow. Wrenching and lovely. Ray Vecchio just wants everything to be normal again...and what a strange world he must have been in, if normal is now defined by his partnership with Fraser. Poor RayV...ouch, learning that "you can't go home again." Beautifully rendered.

Ow. This makes me want to write a sequel mary sue where I can just hug and hug and hug Vecchio :) Beautifully written, this is. I really adore your Vecchio, there's so much substance to him - a great take on his view of the world after COTW (although I do like to picture him happy and goofily in love with Stella).
Painful and real, and a great take on Vecchio. Thanks!

Oh, wow. This is amazing. I've never read a post-CotW story quite like this, and certainly never from Vecchio's POV. It's so bleak and sad and realistic about how everything turned out for him. And I'm glad you didn't cut Fraser any slack for leaving Vecchio without a word and cutting him out of the adventure like that. Poor Vecchio!
Uh, all this is my way of saying I liked it. You made it hurt, and you made me get angry at Fraser. Well done!

Oh my Vecchio. *hugs him tight* Because he's right about everything. The past is gone, the future he wanted doesn't exist and all he has left is the here and now. Poor, poor boy.
Excuse me while I go and sniffle in a corner.

Fascinating RayV character piece.

Oh, this was so interesting -- sort of the mirror image of Ray Kowalski's feelings of lost and jealousy in CotW. Cool!

Oh, OW.
OW.
That is a seriously wonderful story. You just nailed Ray Vecchio, but OW, I think you broke me.
In a good way, of course.
