it is way past my bedtime

[schmerica]

The thing about watching season one and two due South is that, despite the fact that I don't find it especially slashy, it does always make two thoughts run through my head is quick succession: first, that Ray Vecchio is totally in love with Fraser, and second, that he has NO IDEA, and is never going to.

(Fraser might have an inkling, or he might not. Either way, he's not telling.)

Also, one of the revelations that came up during this weekend's discussion was the fact that liviapenn totally has an urchin fetish. This led to all of us (by which I might mean "me", I can't remember) trying to think of many different characters for her to write adorable street urchins for her to write AUs about. I giggled a lot at the idea of Fraser. Imagine if one of his multiple running away from home attempts had actually worked! He would be the most polite and well-groomed street kid ever.

I don't even remember which episode it is anymore, but that scene where Fraser is talking to the schoolkids? And the one keeps asking bathroom questions? Miniature Turnbull, right there! My screencapping abilities are not working right now, or I'd have pictures.

Heee. I think that's Manhunt! Because then Buck Frobisher's daughter shows up, and blah blah blah plot.

"Do they have toilets in Canada?"

Of course, now my brain is insisting on little Ben running away and encountering little Turnbull. Who, being much smaller, goes by Ren. But Ben thinks his name is Wren, which doesn't strike him as odd at all. And I don't care that he's supposed to be way younger. He's big for his age, and keeps insisting that he wants to grow up, so he can be big and do things.

It is so way past your bed time.

But OMG someone must write at least an Urchin!Fraser ficlet.

Though I must say at first I thought you were talking about sea urchins and I was like "Weirdest. Kink. Ever. But well... it *is* Livia..."

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee. It couldn't be just any sea urchin, though. It'd have to be a sea urchin with SUPER POWERS.

LOL Well of course! If you turn them over and look into their non prickly side, they'll hypnotize you. I'm from the coast. I know.

I really thought too much about the whole sea urchin thing before I moved on to where you clarified to *street* urchin. I'm not afraid to admit it. I didn't get it, but I gave it a good shot.

*giggles* You're so good-natured that way!

Imagine (chastely!) Wee!Fraser running away successfully, and somehow (hush, this is MY urchin fantasy) running into Wee!Ray Vecchio, who has also run away from home. They meet on the streets of Toronto. Fraser has city culture shock, and Ray has Canada culture shock. Ray also has a shock of floppy hair that keeps falling in his eyes, and he wears a man's suit jacket that's far too large, because he thinks it makes him look like an adult, even though he's only, like, twelve and is small for his age.

OH WEE VECCHIO! Min, I think you have made my heart explode with glee. <3<3<3.

(Ray would have good reason to run away, too, really. Although I don't think he ever really would, because I think he has this big sense of big brother responsibility, so if he ran away, that means he would be leaving his little sisters to get the whole brunt of Pop Vecchio.)

I went right to the sea urchin place, too, and had a "...yay, someone weirder than me?" moment.

but dude! Fraser the well-groomed street kid! <3 <3 <3!!

and I need to watch some season one episodes. I haven't in AGES. Oh, Vecchio. *pets* You and your sublimated yearnings.

Yes! And you're picturing livia kind of cooing and petting little spiny shellfish, right? And going, "Well, to each her own. I guess..."

Also, Fraser would be, like, Oliver Twist with a bath.

yes, exactly! and, you know, I have my sea monkey thing, so I really can't JUDGE, I guess...

AWWW. Yes.

[lost-erizo.livejournal.com]

Ah, but then some of us live in the sea urchin place...

:-)

Heeeeeeee. I am doing WONDERS for Livia's reputation here, right? It's even better than posting entries to her journal and making people think she's high.

And see, wee Fraser would immediately begin organizing the other kids into a cooperative or something and end up making a self-sufficient squatter's commune in an abandoned building.

Then he meets Gunn! Like you do. And they fight crime!

Omigosh yes. That is exactly what would happen. In fact, I am pretty sure that DID happen and we just don't know it. Because, yes!

Then he meets Gunn! Like you do. And they fight crime!

Heeeeee. And vampires!

This is one of the things that I love about Denise Raymond's writing. She gets that unconscious... yearning for Fraser that Vecchio seems to have, like at the end of Chicago Tales in the airport. And he just doesn't get it. It just feels so real.

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one to think you meant SEA urchin, nor the first one to accept this as "Well, Livia" and move on to the rest of the post.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Seriously, I am doing WONDERS for Livia in all of your minds, aren't I?
