House Beautiful is a Jim/Blair story by Peruvian Gypsy.
Reactions and Reviews
A common theme in earlier Sentinel stories is how Blair has changed, enlarged, improved, and just generally turned Jim's life upside down. Not that later stories don't also deal with this. But somehow, it's never quite as compelling to me. I don't know why this is, exactly. Maybe it's the difference in immediacy between current events and history. If, like me, you started watching the show somewhere in the early third season, then Jim was already changed by then. Blair had been part of his life for years. I envy the people who saw their relationship unfold, firsthand, during the first run of the eps. And I enjoy reading stories that have this sense of new discovery in them. House Beautiful by Peruvian Gypsy is one of these early stories that wonderfully demonstrates how Blair's friendship enriches Jim's life. In it, Simon stops by the loft one morning and notices how things have changed. The author paints in wonderful small details that create a sense of shared home and entwined lives. It's a sweet story that left me with a warm feeling.[1]
