Bottom Jim story. In case you haven't guessed it by now, by oh I don't know, the picture up there. [1] I'm a JimBabe, totally think Richard Burgi is hot, the little guy is cute too, but I much prefer Jim.<g> So I looove bottom Jim stories, I think he is so a bottom. Doubt if he'd even want to be on top, don't care how muscle bound he is. His inner child is screaming 'take care of me'. I can just hear it. I've tried to write some Sentinel stories. Jim is a loud and bossy ass muse. Talks to me, demands alot of say in the stories, and whenever I try to hook him up with Blair he just says no thanks. Always likes the OMC's too much or Vic from Once a Thief (I'm still working up a X-Over with that show). Nick Lea 'Woof', both Jim and I agree on that point. I digress though, I'm straying from my point. You know all those stories out there where Blair freaks over becoming a cop and runs off pouting 'poor Blair' to places unknown forcing Jim to hunt him down. This ain't one of them. Legion must have been as tired of those as I am. Since you know Blair never does that, his mom Naomi yeah, Blair never. For god sakes he's been at Rainer since he was 16. I'm guessing him to be between 26-28 on the show. He's responsible face it, no matter how Naomi raised him, he's a plant roots kindof guy. Jim freaking out completely when more shit besides the press conference and the ensuing consequences are heaped onto him. Yeah, I believe. Watch the show, Jim is so the freak out guy. He is the overly emotional one, for the repressed guy they try to make him out to be, he lets what he's feeling be known alot. Loudly and in front of as many witnesses as humanly possible. Not that he doesn't fight damn fucking hard against showing them, but they bubble up so hard and fast you can see them even through his walls clear as day. Jim and Blair also prove Denial isn't just a river in Egypt in this story. They are both so in denial land in this one. My favorite line in this one, Blair saying to Jim, "For a straight man, you really seem to like having your ass played with..." (That is before Blair even touches his ass, i.e. a little self-loving.) That so sums up Jim's level of denial about his sexuality and what he wants. Make sure you pay attention to the last line in the paragraph before the one where that quote appears to really catch the denial. It's subtle. Legion has Simon sum up this story better than I can though, "one man who wants to love and doesn't know how and one man who knows how to love and doesn't want to." I'll leave it up to you to figure out which is which. I'll just end with Simon's summation. Best one I could give you.<g * a *wink*> <g> [2]
If there's one thing I love in my Sentinel fandom it would be bottom-Jim stories, I don't know why but it is truly one of my buttons and boy does Legion know how to push it. Basically the story goes that Blair now working with Jim at the Cascade PD discovers that Jim is actually in love with him (you've probably read this before, but wait there's more!) He does not react well and Jim being the emotionally challenged individual that he is runs away both physically and psychologically. I love this story because Blair is portrayed like a man, sometimes in this fandom he can come across as this weepy easily hurt little pussy and big bad Jim has to chase after him. Not so here, Legion's Blair is tough, smart, but compassionate a man who doesn't fear emotion. It is more in keeping with Jim's character for him to be running away. Since he is a man that if he can't fight something he must push it away or run. This is a must read it is satisfying from beginning to end and the sex is of course nuclear hot. [3]
Gah! I love this so much! XD. I don"t think that I"ve ever liked anything with Blair as a top like this before. Ohhhhhhh....and the EMOTION! I swear that my heart was pounding so much through this. It ached, too. Simon was a real doll in here. ****½[4]
