ray's glasses in Good for the Soul
Ray gets distracted by the brown uniform.
So far I only saw it once in S3. And me and some folks over on discord really appreciate the brown uniform so this popped into my mind.
Look at how normal Fraser is about this guy. Go on, look.
Frannie trying to hide her smile is adorable. Look at her second hand embarrassment, they might as well be real siblings.
Fraser, though, Fraser doesn't find this weird, or embarrassing, nothing like that. He thinks this is hot. Right in this moment, he finds Ray exactly as cool as Ray thinks he is.
It's like these two were made in a lab for each other.
I love this take, but I have a completely different one:
Fraser knows how dorky and arrogant and wannabe Ray is, and in this moment he is imagining taking him apart like a puzzle.
it's not that he doesn't see the awkward or that he doesn't care because love is blind, it's that he sees Ray's dorkitude and attitude and that although he's a poser he IS wiry and light on his feet and Fraser looks at him and sees a dogdamn BANQUET and he is HUNGRY.
like that is fraser at his most fucking Dom, not the bird in the hand with the boot and the chair and the bamf, THIS, because he is ANALYZING and he LIKES WHAT HE SEES.
I think about āhe finds Ray exactly as cool as Ray thinks he isā CONSTANTLY, but this new perspective is also PERFECT. These two dorks. God.
So I just rewatched this episode and I want to add to @inconclusionray's note that:
that is fraser at his most fucking Dom, not the bird in the hand with the boot and the chair and the bamf, THIS, because he is ANALYZING and he LIKES WHAT HE SEES.
Because they're so bang on about that, and you can see it through the entire runtime.
A Bird in the Hand is NOT Fraser in his most Dom energy, because that is a Fraser who is NOT in full control of himself. Yeah, the scene with the boot and the chair and the bamf is hot (obviously), but Fraser is also thisclose to absolutely losing it. Like he says to his father moments later, "It takes every bit of restraint I have not to walk back in that room and separate his head from his shoulders." That's Fraser just barely holding it together; the edges of the Mountie are bleeding out into Ben Fraser.
In Mountie and Soul, on the other hand, Fraser is in complete control of himself. He is in full observation modeāof the gym, of the competitors, of the coachesābut mostly of Ray. Domming means being as in control as possible at all times; youāve got to keep your head on straight to keep your partner safe. But thatās okay, because thatās part of what does it for ya, etc.
This is the episode where Ray is thisclose to losing it, to actually having to bare-knuckle fight his way to victory in the end. But Fraser is not so emotionally invested, here, and that is what gives him the space he needs to watch.
What Fraser sees in this episode is:
A Ray who requires some element of pain in order to clear the chatter from his mind
A Ray who enjoys getting hurt, and continues to go back for more
A Ray who feels better, mentally and spiritually, after getting the shit kicked out of him for a while
And in himself, Fraser finds someone who refuses to hurt Ray, despite his bratty demands, until he makes the measured and controlled decision to give Ray exactly what he is asking for, with the associated consequences:
(Immediately, of course, followed by a check-ināand an apology, because he is still a Mountie).
Fraser watches Ray get bruised and beat up over and over again and like it.
And Fraser, also, likes it.
It's the praise at the very end for me, when he says:
Perfect.
And he means it.
