Or, in which I commit crimes against unorthodox readings of "Ulysses."
Title: "This Gray Spirit Yearning"
Pairing: Fraser/Thatcher UST
Rating: G
Word Count: 1750
Summary: "For some time now, she's been his favorite subject to observe, to collect and file away facts and impressions of, sorting through them and piecing them together, puzzle-like, in daydreams and idle moments—not that he would ever admit it. Those are hardly the kind of thoughts a junior officer should be having about his superior."
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. – Tennyson, "Ulysses"
( He's always prided himself on his observational skills. )
