Reactions and Reviews
I just can't tell you how I go gaga over homophobe conversion. That's just a major testament to the power of Blair's sexiness.[1]
This is a regular story set in the Sentinel universe, a slice-of-life story, if you will. Blair is caught in a stairwell with a homophobic jerk who wants to harass him for his "lifestyle." But, Blair being Blair completely turns the tables on this idiot and by the end of their 'conversation,' has this guy eating out of the palm of his hand.The story is from Jim's POV. He is listening to the conversation at the top of the stairwell, just in case the guy tries to hurt Blair. Overhearing what Blair has to say, makes Jim question the feelings has for his partner and not one, but two people change their outlook that day.
Here is an excerpt from the story, if this doesn't drag you in, I don't know what will! [2]
Eavesdropping on Blair dealing with a bigot. *heee* [3]
Jim is already questioning his feelings for Blair, as well as his attraction to men, when he comes across Blair dealing with a homophobic cop in a stairwell.
This is quite a funny story and I love the way the first person Jim POV is developed throughout. There is a tendency to idealise Blair but it's not so noticeable that it interfered with my enjoyment of the story.[4]
I originally read this story on your website, and have read it at least a dozen times since! Just tickles the hell out of me! I love how Blair actually offers the guy a glass of water and asks him if he is ok, how Jim warns off the other cop, the fact the other cop becomes a convert,(Lord, I may as well put the whole thing in this space!) and how Blair tells Jim he is 'favorite flavor ever'! The best line though? "Fucking fairy? Oh, man, you can do better than that. Fucking fairy? At least lower your voice when you say it." That had me laughing out loud. Just awesome and so much fun! Thanks again! [5]
