This is...extraordinarily beautiful. I had to read it between tears - almost from the first word - but it's oh so beautiful. Fraser's anger (and guilt?) keeping Ray from him for so long, and isn't it wonderful that Ray really is such a stubborn s.o.b., heh. (I like that he kept himself busy while he was waiting for Fraser. Huh - a ballroom.)
I love the way that you've used a tenet of canon and turned it into a way to keep Fraser and Ray together completely believably and 100% in character. Of course, this wouldn't have been necessary if you hadn't killed Ray first (*eyes you*)...but Ray really is all about doing what he believes is the right thing. :( And he was still able to save Fraser when it became necessary. (I am a little surprised that Dief didn't just spell it out for Fraser. He really did show remarkable patience.)
So, I hope that the music won't bother Jamie too much in the long run. I don't think that it'll be stopping any time soon.
Thanks so much for this beautiful fic. You really need to pat yourself on the back for this one...it's outstanding.
