This good, luzula! Fraser's guilt for 'causing' the Ice Age, bringing over the melancholic tone that continued onto the rest of the story . . . Oh, and Dief! I'll admit that I got a bit weepy-eyed at Dief's passing.

Learning the backstories to the OCs from Together was a welcome boon though.

My favourite quote:

Fraser was silent for a moment, breathing in the scent of Ray's hair. Then he continued, speaking almost to himself. "My point is that life survives. We may die. The apple tree is dead already. But life goes on, somewhere, somehow. And the ice will retreat again."

So, very Fraser and so lovely even with the somber undertones.

Would it be terribly greedy of me to ask for more in this 'verse?
