you are not the vecchio whose babies i am having!

[schmerica]

pearl_o: so the entire due south fandom besides me seems to find Ray Vecchio way more interesting after he's gone away and had to be undercover as a mobster for two years.
And I am like "...You are boring now. BLAH secret pain and hardship and changing personalities.
I liked you when you were a nice guy."

fox1013: Hee!

pearl_o: /is different than other people.

fox1013: poor monkey
/loves you

pearl_o: Perhaps that is reason number One Million and Eighty Three why Ray/Ray doesn't work for me!

Or it just may be that it's just plain icky!

I find him interesting before Vegas! I just, um, lack his sense of humor, so I refrain from sullying his entertainingness.

I'm with you! I don't want to read about RayV AT ALL except for his reaction to F/K. And I definitely don't want to read R/R. *ducks as rest of fandom throws stones*

hey now!

I love Ray Vecchio, full stop. I want his babies before or after he leaves! I do like season two Ray, where he's less jokey sidekick and more his own man... But that's more the good haircut and sharp suits. Ray Vecchio = Love!

What the hell? I have no idea what you're talking about, but then, I am fairly new to the fandom.

I love RayV to death, and I would never actually want to read about him if he wasn't a 'nice guy.' Because if undercover life made him mean, I just...no, that would be hard to read. He wasn't like that in CotW, so. Um.

RayV is always nice. :) And he loves Fraser, not RayK.

I'm not a Ray V fan, never have been. I've always seen him as a kind of icky slick fella, who just cleaned up his act a little bit because he was standing next to a Mountie, well, before he shot him in the back and then left town.

As for Ray/Ray, I don't touch it. For me it's all about Fraser/RayK, the right Ray, thank you kindly.

VECCHIO!!! *hearts*

I will so fight you for the chance to have his babies.

And yes, the pre-Vegas Ray is the best, IMO. It's not that I find post-Vegas!RayV boring, like you do (although I do sympathize with you there), it's just ... that's not the Ray I fell in love with on the show, and it's not really the Ray I want to read about. You said "I don't want all his edges sharpened and made hard! I love him the way he is!" And - yes. That's it.

There should be more pre-Vegas-era RayV fic. Yes indeed.

Oh, and *waves* hi. :) I lurk here a lot, cause you're funny and smart and write excellent fic and I enjoy your dS ramblings quite a bit.

Oh I am totally with you here. I love Ray Vecchio, and Post-Vegas Ray was a disappointment, to me. Where is the love? Where is the goof? You get a little in COTW, but it's like he's trying to remember how. I tried writing post-Vegas Ray the same way you'd wiggle a loose tooth, but I had way more fun writing a Season One story. Hm... tempted to try to get you to read it. That's tacky, isn't it. Okay pretend I didn't say that. What I did say was "Ray/Ray, NO." I'm glad mrsronweasley and I aren't the only ones.

Dude, I'm trying to write pre-BDtH Fraser/Vecchio and it's really hard and quite possibly impossible! (Rift pairing, omg!) But I'm trying! *blinks big plaintive eyes*

*looves post-Vegas!fucked-up!Vecchio; adores Ray/Ray; is bored by Vecchio het (except for that one by Hth from 1994's dsss); will NEVER EVEN THINK ABOUT having Vecchio's babies ewww; but still willing to give Fraser/Vecchio a shot, in the interests of fair play* :-)
