hi sorry feel free to ignore this, do you know if there are any fics out there that focus on ray's memory?? idk if he has an eidetic memory or just lacks infantile amnesia, but either way would be cool if there was a fic about it somewhere out there

You could make a case for him having eidetic memory with instances like these:

(Chapter 100 | Chapter 102)

But Shirai never confirmed it one way or the other, so one is free to take it as far as they want with their headcanons.

As for fanfics, do you mean where the narrative is shaped around his memory as the focal point or as a substantial part of the backdrop that informs his character?

I can't recall anything that would fall into the former, but for the latter I think of SuddenWhispers' Tethered

and @hylialeia's hoping you're someone i used to know.

Repeating myself from this post where I recommended them before, but it's always a treat when you find fics like these. Delivered in gorgeous lyrical cadence, such loving attention is paid to sentence composition that the words aren't merely a means to an end, but a reflection of a deep appreciation for both these characters and the craft itself, the weight of them meant to be lingered over and savored. Among my gold standard for TPN fanfic, and canon in my heart. <3
