Ooh, I like the idea of old fireside Ray and retelling dS as fantasy-style legends. That could be really cool. And now I'm getting the image of Fraser as a sort of shining knight, Lancelot-style. "From underneath his helmet flowed/his coal-black curls as on he rode." Er, sorry, I have The Lady of Shalott on the brain. *g*

Anyway, it sounds like the telling-stories-by-the-fireside idea could lend itself to a sort of snapshot/episodic format if you want?
