Review:
After the events of “Dead Men Don’t Throw Rice” Ray notices that Fraser is a little off. But he figures being dead for a while could spook anyone. It’s not until the next morning when he spots Dief minus Mountie that he starts to worry a little. And when he finds Fraser in a catatonic state half an hour later, he’s more than just a little worried.

I’m a sucker for fics with Ray meeting Fraser Senior, and this is a great one. The plot is interesting and well-executed. The characterizations are great. Really the only thing this story could use is a little more follow through. The beginning could use a little something. The scene in the Great North could be a bit more cohesive. But despite that, this is still a great story, well worth reading.
