Gorgeous story. Lots of high octane angst!

Poor Ray, poor Fraser, poor Welsh! Everyone got a great big woobie hug.

But it wasn't over-blown and overly emotional. It was well characterized and quite engrossing. I liked the little flashbacks, too.

Thanks for sharing.

Heh, thanks. :) I'm so glad you liked it :D

Would it be weird and/or creepy for me to confess my love for you?

This was awesome. You took one of the oldest cliches in the book and really turned it into something original and all your own.

I really enjoyed the structure of the whole thing. The snapshots of the relationship developing from Fraser's point of view and the present events from Ray's was just an excellent way to tell the story.

In the whole first part you did an great job of keeping the reader on Ray's level. We don't know the details of what happened to him, we don't know his and Fraser's immediate past, and we don't know exactly what the nature of their relationship is. And you bring it all to us in nice little snapshots just like Ray's memories trickling back to him.

So yeah. I love this. Very nicely done! :)

Thanks. :) *blush* When I was explaining to kimberlyfdr (who, I have to say again, is the best freakin' beta EVER!) what this story was about, I realized just what a big cliché it really is, so it makes me twice as happy you liked it! :D

Haha

You're gonna make me blush here. I adore this story and the way you made the plot engaging and original. Great job!

I don't usually like amnesia stories. I don't know why, I just never seem to be able to read more than a couple of paragraphs, before giving up. This, however? This fucking rocks!

[nerdwegian.livejournal.com]

*blush* Thank you! :D

Ooh I like the way you've done this, it is a cliche, but it's a cliche that works, so why not *g*

Especially loved Fraser's desription of how Ray's body differed from his, you captured the phyisical aspects RayK/CKR so well there, and I loved the switches between now and then, the way you hint that there may have been something between them before, but keep us guessing for a while.

Hehe, thank you. :)

but keep us guessing for a while.

I wasn't sure if I could pull it off, so I'm glad you feel that! :D

I love amnesia!fic. It's one of my favorite cliches. So I totally loved this. Especially how the reader doesn't know if they had a romantic relationship until near the end. And love the box with the evidence of their relationship. And how Ray wasn't immediately down with being gay. IMHO, great stories are all in the details -- like the button. Loved it.

[nerdwegian.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) I'm glad you liked the button, lmfao! ;)

Oh, this story is terrific! I've read similar "amnesia" stories like this before, but this, by far, is one of the best. Ray and Fraser, are like, sooooo terribly adorable! Thank you!

This is an absolutely beautiful story. When I got to this bit:

He's silent for another moment, then looks at me and shrugs a little, and I can see tears in his eyes now. Holy shit, we were a couple!

"Nobody else knew," he says quietly, and that statement hits me so fucking hard, and maybe standing up was a bad idea, because now I have to sit down again.

I plunk my ass right down on his battered, old couch and try to form a coherent thought. I may never get up again.

Nobody else knew. Fraser had to leave me for dead, watch me lie stretched out in a coma, and then had me wake up without any memory of our relationship, and he had nobody to tell and nobody to talk to.

all I could think was thank God you didn't write the hospital and post-hospital sections from Fraser's POV, because I don't think I could have dealt with all he was feeling, with no outlet for his pain except Dief.

Thank you so much for the feedback, I'm so glad you liked it. :) If I'd done the hospital scenes from Fraser's POV that would have given it all away, now wouldn't it? ;)

To echo what everyone else has said, this is really great. You've taken what could have been a hackneyed plot and executed it with clarity and wonderful writing. (And angst! *hugs poor Ray*)

Thanks, I'm so glad you liked it and didn't think it turned out all too clichéd and mushy. :)
