he makes disparaging comments until she gets pissed off and tells him to stop acting like he’s got something to prove. Somehow I don't think *that's* very different from how it went down in canon. ;)
Ray gets flustered and makes a wholly unsatisfactory comeback. Naturally.
It’s not like he ever offered Chris a collar Goodness, I would hope not--in part because I don't trust Chris to know what's best for him under any circumstances.
they just never *quite* fitted right together. No, they wouldn't. Close, and close enough for fuckbuddies, or whatever it's called in this 'verse, but not right.
Chris sitting on the floor I'm quite sure this shouldn't sound so damn cute. But it works for me.
Gene Hunt’s taste in subs is fucking mental, if you ask Ray. They're so much *work.* Ray's too lazy to take on the ones who might fight him and win.
It’s never satisfying, not for anyone involved Well, not if one of them's Ray, that I believe. ;)
Confusing. Brings up all of these "But wait, I want to sub--no I don't!" feelings. Poor Ray.
it’s an exposed seam in the world, there’s something *wrong*. You can almost see the stars through it.
there’s one sub who knows how to keep position And that's why they didn't quite work, isn't it? Chris is too bloody ready to stay where he's put, and as much as Ray thinks that's what he wants, he's wrong, deep down.
She was slapping *his*. I'm quite afraid that made me beam all out of proportion to how wrong it is. Or, in proportion to the wrongness, but not to the objective happiness. A spot of schadenfreude, call it; Ray certainly deserves a bit of suffering here and there.
Shaz figures out what’s going on and takes charge of the situation. As is rather the requirement. Chris was never going to and Ray's, well, increasingly finding he's incapable of that, at least in the classic sense.
Hopefully he's happier when he works out that subbing isn't giving up.
maybe this is what it was supposed to be like all along. I was expecting something Harlequin and instead I got something *true.* Thank you so much.
This makes me far more starry-eyed than can possibly be healthy.
