Reactions and Reviews

Everyone's probably already read this one, its alyjude, but it's one of my favorite Blair-owies. I bawl my head off everytime I read it. [1]

I couldn't stand "Four Point Shot." To me, it was one big, yawning waste of a previously interesting bad guy. And then I read alyjude's Homeward Bound. Suddenly, I was seeing the ep in a whole new light, with a lot more spice and way more menace. It's only too bad the ep's storyline wasn't this good. [2]

2000

OK, so I'm having a really crappy day, and felt like having a good hard cry. This did it for me. This is a three hanky story, but never fear, things end on an up-note. All this and a new daddy for Blair! [3]

2003

alyjudes' Homeward Bound has Blair damaged and Blairdespair--and it's alyjude, so you can relax and enjoy it. [4]

2005

Set after Four Point Shot, this puts a hugely angsty twist on the events in that episode. Blair has left town, and is forced to return to face his demons. Featuring a lovely and plausible cross over-this is one of my favorite stories. [5]

2010

Three weeks after Kincaid took over whatever passes for Madison Square Garden in Cascade, Blair left town. Now the trial is coming and it's time for him to return. By now ya'll must know that one of my great guilty pleasures in the Sentinel fandom is Blair Runs Away From Home fic. This is a very satisfying one, featuring rampant miscommunication, woobie (but with good reason) Blair, and Blair Learns Who His Father Is. And, as a bonus for Magnum, PI fans, apparently this is a crossover with that show. Fast, angsty, and satisfying, this is a fic for folks who are in the mood for some Blair whump with a side of hurt/comfort. [6]

2012

After the events of Four Point Shot, Blair has left Cascade, but he is needed to testify against Kincaid. Bev Sanchez sends Thomas Magnum to get Blair and bring him back to Cascade. However, although the story features Magnum, this isn't actually a crossover - he's used as part of the Sentinel universe.

This is a story full of misunderstandings, with Alyjude's trademark happy ending. It's a roller coaster of a ride, and has long been one of my favourite Alyjude stories.

This version has been revised from the one originally posted years ago.[7]
