I love Fraser so, so much. I tell people Benton Fraser defined my type and/or ruined me for other men, and he did, he really did. I just adore him as a character and a person and he's my perfect example of how good doesn't always mean boring, dissatisfied/unhappy doesn't always mean CONSTANT MISERY AND ANGST, and contented/happy doesn't always mean never sad. If you see what I mean. He is also sort of a moral touchstone for me because he's admirable without being perfect. He messes things up because he listens to his heart or his feelings overcome him sometimes, but he's a genuinely good person; WWBFD? is sort of a real-world True North for my moral compass. Sometimes the answer to WWBFD? is "fuck it up because he's too emotionally involved in the situation" and that's okay. That sort of goodness is achievable and therefore worth trying for, because everyone stands a chance of succeeding at it.

I'm totally a sucker for the One Good Person who does the right thing just because it's right, despite the personal cost. As such, dS and Fraser make me cry all the damn time.

Also, Fraser/RayK is the OTP of my soul.
