'they want poets'
Well, that's okay, that's still Ray on the inside then. :D

I'm really, really captivated by this whole story so far. The Borderlands you've constructed here is a fascinating and chilly place, and I can't wait to see what's on the other side of that door. Reading on...

I'm really, really adoring this story. It's very "Due-South-y"--all magical realism and metaphor...

Dief, Turnbull, Mort, Bob, and Frannie--such perfect characterizations in such a short space. so wonderful!

Fraser being upset really upsets me. Thought you should know.

Ray figured Fraser was better because leaving the bullpen they were walking in step,
Oh, THIS. This. This is why I love people who are partners.

Fraser went sort of tense under Ray's arm, so Ray backed off.
AND ALSO THIS. Physical cues and being smart about each other and YES.

had smiled at Ray, and it was like he had a light switch to the goddamn sun.
Because LOVE. And also because Fraser.

read the beat-up romance novel he'd stolen off Frannie's desk for the hell of it.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE BIT SO FAR.

. . . You are too good at writing romance-novel prose.

Pumpkin pants = the ridiculous uniform pants with the puffy saddlebag things. I have no idea where I picked that particular word for them up ( ... )
