urban explorer!

[schmerica]

From realduesouth.net transcript of "Call of the Wild":

Kowalski: Fraser, do you ever get the feeling that you're, you know, lost?
Fraser: No, a quick look to the stars or the sun, you can always find your location.
Kowalski: No I don't mean where you are, I mean who you are.
Fraser: Oh, when I first came to Chicago I felt as though I was from another planet.
Kowalski: Which you are.
Fraser: Which I have come to accept. Everything was unknown and at times frightening. And I felt as though I was an explorer, an urban explorer.
Kowalski: Urban explorer.
Fraser: I remember one time we were on a stakeout and I was trying to explain the sense of other worldliness to the detectives, and I was telling the story of Sir John Franklin who set out to discover the North West Passage. But I realised as I was telling the story that they'd fallen to [Fraser notices Kowalski fell asleep]

People, I love them so much. So very very much. If we were not on the internet, I would stretch my arms very very wide for you to illustrate how I love them this much, but since you would not be able to see me right now, you're just going to have to trust me on this.

Also, I was going to make the point that I still think more post-CotW stories should mention the botulism and cannibalism aspects, but then I realized that point of deromancing of the adventure does, in fact, occur in "The End of the Road." I suppose this is just another reason why katallison is the coolest of us all.

I love the "Which you are."/"Which I have come to accept." bit. Love it.

Oh, god, yes. That little tiny bit of dialogue between them and the way they play it? Is, like, eighty million things I love about the pairing, right there in two seconds.

It's amazing that it took Fraser three or four years to admit he was frightened when he first came to Chicago. I wonder what he was scared of, and if he knew it at the time.

I really, really love that part of CotW. I'm from the middle of nowhere like Fraser and when I feel the crush of the city pushing in to hard, I think of that scene and try to imagine myself as an urban explorer, too. Makes things easier.

Well, and it leads to thoughts like, 'mmmm, Fraser pretty' which makes things easier, too. :D

I love, love, love that scene beyond all imagining. It never fails to both amuse me and pang my heart. And Fraser, saying "...they'd all fallen a--.."
always puts me in a happy place.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yes! Just reading over this entry when I get comments puts me in a happy place. Love love love.

Completely outside of the dialogue of that scene, that may be the absolute acme of CKR's prettiness. I think the firelight helps.

The firelight probably does help -- around the fire in A Likely Story? With the laughing (http://pearlo.illuminatedtext.com/images/laughing.jpg)? Also crazy pretty.
