Awesome! I'm glad that resonates with you too. It's a really important part of Fraser for me. And, yeah, the whole show: it's sort of full of people with one huge thing to be miserable about who find a lot of small ways to be happy.

Haha, me too! Every time I hold the door for someone I get a little Fraser-ping in the back of my mind. And then I'll get snarky-while-being-super-polite with someone for doing or saying something stupid and, you know, I'm allowed that.

I suspect my attempts to explain why Fraser/RayK is THE OTP OF PERFECT HAPPINESS would reveal a lot more about me than it would say about the pairing, tbh. It's one of those OTPs that I can't bear to see broken up in fanfic, and a lot of that is personal. Somehow it really lends itself to personal investment, and I can't explain why.
