I know this is very late, but I just found this journal :).
I completely agree with you about the "Fraserness". I am completely open to Ben having many unexpressed sides and opinions. Just because he doesn't say some things, doesn't mean that he doesn't think them. I like to amuse myself by thinking that he curses quite a bit in his head, but gets nothing but an "Oh dear" passed his lips.
So when we have the opportunity to witness him being angry or upset or frightened, it is truly a gem to watch, because it's such a contrast to his "super mountie" mode.
And I agree with you about Fraser's opinion on Frannie. Under those moments of stress in Vault and in P&P, he isn't in the mood for her antics and can't rein himself in enough to not express it. So he lashes out.
Hi! Wow, I've been absent here for so long, I'm surprised you found me. But also happy. Thanks :)
Mmm, multi-dimensional Fraser. Maybe basically I love it because it makes him look so sexy (hey, real deep there^^;) but yeah, it's so illuminating since he *doesn't* show those less than perfect emotions and sides of himself most of the time. And yes! on the inner cursing -- it used to be a pet peeve of mine, when Fraser's POV included words like fuck or hell or cock, but nowadays I'm starting to think... Yeah. Handled carefully, yeah, I *can* see him swearing in his head, definitely.*g* And that makes him a lot more interesting. And hot. (ahem.)
Oh, BTW, you're the Sunday reccer over at ds_flashback, aren't you? I'd just like to say a big thank you for taking on the job, since even though I'm a F/K reader most of the time, it's so sad I don't find recs of Vecchio stories as much as I do Kowalski ones, being a new-coming fen here. *Are* there F/V-centered rec sites and I'm just not looking in the right directions, or is reccing not a big thing in

Oh, I completely agree that it makes him very sexy. quite sexy. *g* But I also think that when the boys get emotional, it allows you to see them in such a different light that they become more than two dimensional, more than just some cute guy you watch on the television to someone that you can go so far as to relate to and care about and feel for. And because I fly the Vecchio flag, I was especially drawn in by David Marciano's performance in "The Deal". That whole scene where he faces Zuko was amazing. Very highly charged
