Deep Cover is a Sentinel story by D.L. Witherspoon.
Author's Notes
"Let's see. This story has just about everything: corrupt cops, calculating politicians, murder, blackmail, drug deals, men lusting after Blair, men lusting after Jim (this is NOT Slash, trust me), a pinch of h/c, and a smidgeon of smarm. Definitely a full plate."
Reactions and Reviews
Officially, this is a gen story, but it's ambiguity and quiet slashiness pleases me no end. Jim and Blair are undercover, helping the feds by posing as a gay couple in the fictional Oregon city of Seacoast. It's a great case and action story with a healthy dose of smarm; I particularly love Jim's protective instincts kicking in when the bad guys threaten Blair (as they do from time to time)... I like to read it with my rosy-pink slash goggles firmly in place, but however you take it, it's a rollicking good read.[1]
This story is classic D.L. Witherspoon; Saint Jim, steadfast Blair. It makes me think of that song by the Carpenters, that went:Okay, so it's too good to be true; sometimes one needs that. It's a nice thing to relax into; no worries about reading things I wouldn't want to remember, something to enjoy, steadfast, loyal, true. Something encouraging. So read it.[2]
