Oh, this is wonderful! I love Ray talking to his turtle, and talking with Dief. Your Mort is fabulous! "I deal with them when they are already dead, yes? Perhaps you should take him to someone who deals with the live ones." Yes. Bob and his real tea! And then, oh, Fraser diligently filling out his transfer papers. D: Ray's pomegranate story, and his epiphany! How hard it was to not look back, and how defeated he was that Fraser didn't come out of the closet behind him. And then lasagna! And kissing! And human mating rituals! And this little bit of Ray angst: It was just that he had to ... deserve it, or something, an unshakable habit from having spent most of his life trying hard to deserve Stella. But then I figure, I go to the goddamn underworld to get you back, I get to keep you. Yes. *is happy* ♥ Loved it.
