Ratings: Slash, m/m, Fraser/Kowalski. Drabble. G. 
Summary: Fraser finds reason to think warmly of Stella. 
Disclaimers: Everyone here belongs to Alliance. Is it going overboard to
have an epigraph that's one-fourth as long as the piece itself? 

   

 "I guess --" 

 My pulse jumped at the sound of Ray's voice. We'd been walking in silence
-- a stillness I wished I could attribute to the fresh injury of this
latest news, though I knew it was really the same one that had taken root
during our last six months on the sled. After I forced Ray, who had always
been so free of his energy, to begin conserving it. 

 "-- if you think about it," he said, "it's Vecchio steppin' into my
shoes, now." 

 His mouth crooked upwards. 

 I think if Stella had been there, I could almost have kissed her. 

  
For, soon as they strake thee with Stella's rays, 
Reason, thou kneeledst, and offeredst straight to prove 
By reason good, good reason her to love. 
- Sir Philip Sidney
