Territoriality is a two-part Jim/Blair story by The Lady of Shalott.

A sequel written by Rafaela Sabatini, titled Missing Scenes, was published on the author's website along with the first two parts:.

This missing scene takes place just after Blair and Jim leave Simon's place and before they get to the loft and hop into bed together. :) It was NOT written by me, but by Rafaela Sabatini, who gave me permission to post it. Enjoy!

Reactions and Reviews

[at Slash Slut's Sentinel Recs]
Ok, I usually rec things because they have a good lengthy plot, and just happen to be filled with hot sex too. This one I am rec'ing because it has The Hottest Rimming Scenes I have ever read in it. Hey, we all have our kinks don't judge. The story is good, well-written, and has a nice plot line, but the sex dear god is so hot. Oh, and it's Jim who is on the receiving end in this one. These are two of my favorite bottoming Jim stories. I usually don't like stories just because of the hot sex in them, but this one is my one true exception. It isn't a PWP, I don't read those very often, and when I do I usually don't like them. I like to know how they jumped from buddies to having hot sex. This one gives you that and I really enjoyed the story too. I thought it was a good depiction of Blair in this one. This is really about as close as I come to reading a story just for sex, and like I said it has a good story line going on too. I read this a while ago and have been trying to remember to rec it. It is one of the first things I usually tell friends to read when they start out in this fandom. (If they happen to have a rimming kink like I do.) An escape from some of the angst that is out there in this fandom, which I love. God, I love the sex scenes in this one, love Jim on the receiving end. I think he could be such a good bottom, and if Blair saw that he could definitely bring it out in the big guy. Life is strange and nothing is ever as it seems. "Sometimes you have to see with better eyes." (I love that line, it is from the James Cameron movie the Abyss. Use it all the time.) The rimming scenes are loong and detailed too. So if you have this particular kink like I do, you may want to check it out. I love the sex in this one. Love Jim as a bottom. Can't help it.[2]

Yes, the Sentinel/Guide thing is mostly, if not all, fanon, but still I love the authors who can do miracles with it. Francesca's "The Nature Series" is one example, and my other favorite is The Lady of Shalott's Territoriality and its sequel, Territoriality II: New Territory. I actually like the first installment better than the second, but both are great reads.[3]

I don’t want to put spoilers in the notes but I am STUNNED in the best ways that you wrote/posted this before A Certain Episode—one, what BRILLIANCE, two, you should definitely get residuals for that. ;)

I have such a weakness for the “denying the bond makes Blair weaker” fics, it’s goooooood soup, and TOP BLAIR!! Thanks for this :D[4]
