"Well you got Fraser." "Right."

#i'm so glad my tags gave you the feels!#so much complicated emotions going on in this short bit of time ray v is in the finale #(lol though at the way this gif is paused for me - it looks like rayv is checking out rayk's ass and i love it tbh)

damn

#three years in from watching the finale and not a day goes by I don't think about this line #oh ray #he haunted the narrative while in vegas and probably felt like a ghost of himself the whole time he was there #and I only imagine him still feeling like a ghost looking in in the life that moved on without him when he returns #and Fraser was a thousand percent part of his unfinished business #which makes Fraser leaving with the man who replaced him all the more complicated #which then leads to his own desperate escape to Florida in an attempt to start anew and reclaim his identity #because he doesn't fit into the life that used to be his anymore #ray vecchio #💔

Today is Too Late (words: 708)

Today was different. Today was the day everything would change – hopefully, for the better. Fraser missed Ray's call in BDtH and waits for him at the train station.

Fanart - Across a thousand lifetimes...

“So I staked a lean-to with my rifle and draped my coat around it. And I held onto her while the storm closed in around us. And I kept talking to her to keep her from slipping away. And it snowed for a day and a night and a day; and when I couldn’t talk anymore I took her fingers and I put them in my mouth to keep them warm… I don’t remember losing consciousness but I do remember being aware that I was dying… And then I heard her voice. She was reciting a poem. Over and over. And I couldn’t make out the words but I couldn’t stop listening. She had the most beautiful voice. It was as though I had known her forever. Across a thousand lifetimes… ”

- Constable Benton Fraser

Benton Fraser and Ray Vecchio in due South 2.18 "Flashback"

#still one of my fave gifsets #the soft adoration in Ray's eyes in the second one...#david marciano I am once again thanking you for your acting choices #flashback eps can be boring but one way to make them interesting is to double down on the queer subtext #it was a love story all along

#I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to find this show #oh lost media #david marciano

Is it ever explicitly stated where in Florida RayV and Stella end up opening the bowling alley?

gayvecchio

I always assumed/headcanon that it's in the same area where his Ma's sister lives, but I don't think it's ever specified either.

#I also usually headcanon that he buys the bowling alley from his uncle who wants to retire just so it makes a bit more sense in my head #I think there might be a mention of southern florida but I could be making that up

Is it ever explicitly stated where in Florida RayV and Stella end up opening the bowling alley?

#or is there a specific city/town that is fanon?#just curious #ray vecchio #due south

That tiny almost imperceptible exhale/nod of ‘ok then.’ Masterful.

#augh look at them!!!#they're more married than a lot of married couples#because how many people lovingly and unconditionally support their spouse doing something they think is pointless and futile#the fact that he's not bitter enough about north and vault to stop doing this#idk ray's overwhelming devotion is as much a force of nature as fraser's whole... whatever it is

love these tags @andrandiriel!

#f/v #so true #look up devotion in the dictionary and it's a picture of ray vecchio staring at benton fraser

Fraser putting his hat before Ray vs putting Ray first -> aka Fraser putting Ray above his duty

#I love thinking about this moment where fraser prioritizes his hat in comparison to when he throws his hat to the side#as he runs up the stairs in cotw to get to ray vecchio#just interesting to ponder the development there

#needs a good gif edit @pigtailedgirl

#but also once again does ray KNOW fraser cast away his hat (the weight of his duty) for him?#will he ever know that fraser finally put him first??? @gayvecchio

THIIIIS!!!! this set feels like such a great summary of stuff around the two of them! and it's a microcosm of questions like, does Ray know that Fraser defended him twice from false accusations while he was gone? does he know that his name lingered in the air like a ghost the whole time? does he know that Fraser ran after the shadow of him the same way he once did Victoria (that he'd recognise him anywhere)? does he know that Fraser made him a dream-catcher?

Does Ray know that Fraser cast aside his duty/his identity/the weight of who he's always been... for him?

#yes!#so the things left unsaid makes my head spin #'i loved you more than anything but I could never say it' and fraser's inability to say things is still dragging him down #not that ray was there to say things to but if he had been...#I think maybe fraser was getting to a place where he was ready when he came back but then... his ray was gone #and then ray comes back and all he knows is that fraser and the new guy seem to work really well together #and then take off on a big adventure he isn't invited on #of course he might assume fraser has just moved on completely #that maybe be never even needed him at all #so might as well pack up and start over because his old life just sled off into the sunset with his replacement #oh the tragedy of the unspoken

variousqueerthings

youve gotta wonder if ray vecchio hadnt been shot in CotW, what that final episode would've looked like. because we already know he'd go with fraser to anywhere, he's done that since literally The Pilot. but what would it do in terms of allowing some of the tension that exists in CotW to continue to bubble away................

#anyone do a *ray vecchio is also in canada in the final episode* AU?#but also on some level extremely funny to me that they had to nerf him and the only way was to literally lodge a bullet in his chest #<- prev tags #such a missed opportunity sidelining rayv the three of them in canada would've been gold #on one hand I get the call back to rayv getting injured protecting fraser and ending up in the hospital like he did in the pilot #but Ive said before ray should've crawled out of the hospital bed and joined fraser in canada for the final showdown #again - like he did in the pilot. full circle #idk of any aus but it's a great concept #anyway eternally bummed by how underutilized rayv was in the finale

#needs a good gif edit @pigtailedgirl

#due south #benton fraser #ray vecchio #fraser/vecchio #maybe will do a more detailed set in the future showing moments of the hat's importance vs him tossing it aside #but not today #but also once again does ray KNOW fraser cast away his hat (the weight of his duty) for him?#will he ever know that fraser finally put him first???
