First of the Month is a Jim/Blair story by Anna S.
Reactions and Reviews
2000
Anna's still on a roll. Her newest, First of the Month, has kicked off a nearly month-long thread on Prospect_L. Is this a less flattering, but still totally valid characterization of Blair, or just as a/u as the usual Blair-as-rent-boy fantasies? There are votes on both sides, but Anna's done her homework -- invalidate this Blair, and you may have to invalidate first and second season, too.[1]
It's official: Anna S. is my new favorite Sentinel writer. This story rocks from beginning to end. Blair decides to work out the rent he owes Jim in trade. I have new appreciation for the term "rent boy" now. I love Blair POV stories, and this one explores a side of Blair that you rarely see in TS fic. He's manipulative and completely honest with himself about it. I like this not-so-innocent Blair going after what he wants with relish.[2]
As already recommended everywhere else. First of the Month is dynamite, and a very damn clever story with layers to burn--a story I recommend you really get involved with. [3]

[It] had lots of people saying, "Blair wouldn't act/think/talk like that." It took me a second read through for me to really get a handle on that Blair and how he works in her universe. But, I liked it. It made me think, it stretched the boundaries of his character (in an interesting and non-infantalized way) and I read it more than once. And lately, doing more than deleting stories when I see who wrote them or after reading the first two paragraphs, doesn't happen very often. It won't be my all time TS favorite, but it was so refreshing to see someone really take a walk into the different.[4]
