Food for Thought is a Jim/Blair story by Linda3.
Reactions and Reviews
A couple of weeks after Blair moves in with Jim, he collapses at work. Turns out he's been keeping a few things from his overly-protective Sentinel. By now I'm sure you all know that I have a soft spot for Completely Lacking In Any Kind Of Common Sense!Blair, and here we have another example of the genre. The writing in the first part of the story (before Blair's collapse) is a bit rough, but once the hurt-comfort part of the story starts it's all good. Though Blair is basically being an idiot, I can't help but want to snuggle him and hug him and then lock him up for his own good, and I bet you'll feel the same way.[1]
I definitely enjoyed this one even though I wanted to smack Blair upside the head for being so silly...as if Jim would mind helping him out! I swear, for being as intelligent as he is, he's still an idiot sometimes. A lovable one. *sigh* [2]
I have a kink for 'Blair is an idiot' fic and I think that's better done in Sentinel gen than in Sentinel slash. Oh, Blair.[3]
Not a bad story. I'm not sure of the characterisation this early, but it's plausible. The plot is plausible too - who's to say that Blair didn't lose almost everything in the fire that destroyed the warehouse.[4]
I almost wish that the author hadn't actually said what prompted her to write this story, or at least, that she had postponed it until after the story, because the note was rather spoilerish. Even so, this managed to be a good mystery case story, because what was let slip didn't actually tie in with the story until the end. The case was unusual, and got more complicated as it went on -- even though I recognised some of the ideas from other places, I hadn't seen them all together in one spot before. It was also refreshing to see a few of the fannish cliche's played with (even though that wasn't a major part of it). So... what do *you* think? [5]
