Love of fanfiction and Callum Keith Rennie. Also music is a main part of my life, including Shinedown, Headstones Billy Talent... and Hugh Dillon xx Also on Ao3 under carolelained
And there may have been looks, and looks before this one. But there is no other way to interpret this as anything but some kind of realization of "f*ck.. I'm in love with my partner".
I stand by this like Welsh stands by his detectives.
Another few seconds of MotB appreciation - I find Fraser's little leap here insanely attractive. It's just beautiful.
(I wasn't completely sold on due South until I got to Mountie on the Bounty. It had been slashy fun so far, sure, but now it was slashy fun on an epic scale with an age of sail vibe, and for me as a Hornblower and Aubreyad fan that made all the difference. I also appreciated the music, because the song in this scene with its wistful chorus and tin whistles reminded me a bit of a 1970s hard rock classic I love, "Nantucket Sleighride" by Mountain (which is also a shipwreck song!). I didn't know then that "32 Down" was Paul Gross's own song. But as this episode was the turning point for me, I soon learned that and about a million other dS factoids. Still having fun!
Okay, Ray's little landing roll just before Fraser's pretty leap deserves its own gif, too. Their movements here are the opposite of the heavy wet drag from my last gif, they're smooth and light and graceful and I love them to bits, though I almost get motion sickness from looking at these gifs. :D
