This is delightful. I love how naturally their lives have continued and how intertwined they've become. And I enjoyed the odd humor of everybody's assumption they're already together and the relief and hotness when they buy a clue.

I liked this, and Fraser's response, a lot: "Frase," Ray murmured. "Why aren't we together like that?"

Awwww! That was lovely! So sweet how easily they lived together, and i really really *really* like how you had them seeming like a couple from the start, making it ambiguous. Jefferson was a cool partner for Ray- he was really, well, he was a due Southy OC, and I can think of no higher praise. The sex was hot, their domesticity gave me this big sappy grin. All in all, lovely!

How much do I love the idea of them being all married before they have sex? THIIIIIIIS MUCH.
I love how Jefferson is just like "yeah, whatever stop lieing."
Though I am curious as to why Ray told Welsh they couldn't be partners anymore.

Wah. This was no end of wonderful. I love how domestic they are together - how Ray's dealing with the gossip and the looks and *doesn't care*.
I love how they come together in the end, with no drama, just moving forward with a little surprise and a natural rightness.

I *love* this story! I love how they live together and spent 6 months in Canada and everyone assumes they're together. Even getting mail from the gay officer's league! *BG*
This exchange was one of my favorites:
"C'mon, let's go pick up Dief and go home. There's a hockey game on tonight and I plan to fall asleep while watching it."
Fraser chuckled. "So it's a normal night at home."
♥ FANTASTIC story.

Thank you so much for this! It's great! It's like a box of Christmas cookies baked just for me, all different and all yummy. There's love and humor and endearing cluelessness and believable (for them) domesticity. I loved, in no particular order:
Dief watching Law & Order with Turtle! (squee! Turtle!), Frannie not being able to stand the smell of coffee (I totally understand; I couldn't stand the smell of *instant* coffee when I was pregnant, though good coffee didn't bother me), mail from the Gay Officers Action League (GOAL), this line: "Apparently harassment was being spam-mailed by gay cops." (mwahahahaha!), everyone's thinking they're together (priceless, and even more priceless is Ray's blase' reaction to that! Go, Ray!), Ray's Freudian slip (he so would!), Fraser's anger about people harassing Ray over it, Ray's vehement insistence that Fraser *not* move out...
...and most of all, the Aha! moment when they *finally* realize what's really going on here. (Yay, A First Time! Thank you so much for that!)
That moment is so endearing and so genuinely funny in an absurdly Due South-ish way. You really hit the spot.
I also love the atmosphere of the story. It's a sunny afternoon seen through the windows of a home, bright and comforting...I love that Fraser and Ray set up housekeeping together--as roommates--and they *really* didn't know! Haha! Could it be more obvious? Could they be more loveably clueless? I love that other people realize the truth. Jefferson's summary of the post-CoTW events is priceless.
Dead Bob obviously thinks it's long-term, judging by the hammering noises in Fraser's bedroom (which, again, had me laughing).
Your Fraser and Ray are so charmingly domestic. Fraser driving Ray's car, presciently bringing him coffee, shopping with Mrs. Kowalski (!) who irons his shorts (!); Ray making dinner, going through the mail, promising not to feed Dief junk food. And falling asleep in front of the hockey game--"a normal night at home." Oh, yeah.
It's just yummy from beginning to end. I'm delighted. Thank you so much!
