Reactions and Reviews

2002

This is a Blake/Travis story, but don't dismiss it too quickly. It's an AU, because in canon they never come to any understanding, but it really works. I usually don't like the Travis character (in canon or otherwise), as he can appear a rather cartoonish (or worse, stupid) villain-figure, but this story works very well. It starts with the two of them unable to get out of each other's company (and without anyone else's), when Travis promptly ties Blake up and threatens him. Out of sheer boredom, they end up actually talking to each other, and then Travis explains to Blake that he (Blake) was gay before the Federation messed about in his head. Very good angst and even humour, and there are strong hints that Blake will go after Avon now he's got a clue what he wants.
