Fucking with Sandburg is a Jim/Blair story by Arrow.
Reactions and Reviews
Why this must be read:Because Jim is so Jim when he says, "What? I'm working here, Sandburg."
Because Blair is so Blair when he knows just what... ahh... tool they're both looking for.[1]
Why this is worth reading: Because as you read this, you can easily picture this happening in canon. And it's so much fun!From the title and rating, you might think this is a succinct description of how the guys are boffing. But a more accurate translation would be "playing Blair like a fish", which is something Jim does as a form of entertainment. Here's an excerpt:
Fucking with Sandburg wasn't anything Jim really did on purpose—well, yeah, part of it was on purpose, the part where he didn't stop himself because it was too goddamned much fun. But each time he started—that wasn't on purpose.
They'd be sitting at the kitchen table and Sandburg would begin telling him about the sustainability of bamboo as a substitute for pine or whatever, as if Jim had asked, as if he'd been pondering that very question—Gee, I wonder how I could be more ecology-friendly with regards to soft woods—and he couldn't help it, his mouth would open up and he'd say—
"I dunno, Sandburg, bamboo? Sounds kind of flimsy."
This shows off Jim's sense of humor as well as his genuine affection for his "little guppy". A cute slice-of-life story that made it to the LMFAs this year. Good job, Arrow! [2]
This seems very in-character for Jim. He's fond of Blair, but he also takes smirky satisfaction out of kidding with him. Great dialogue, funny story, steamy ending. Enjoy.[3]
