Reactions and Reviews

This is actually a series of five stories, not unlike an episode arc....

Why you should read this story: It's rare to see the darker and grittier aspects of gay sexuality and identity issues explored like this in slash fiction--or, wait--maybe I should say, explored well. This series has heavy angst, and entwines stories that trace Jim's and Blair's paths to sexual self-discovery in an intriguingly complementary way. I really like this series.

What might throw you off stride: The title. This was archived under the alarmingly long and rather off-putting title "Inferences and Innuendo: Club Doom, Threatened, Secrets and Lies, Past Bad Acts, and Coda".[1]

Her Inferences and Innuendo series ties into various episodes. It shows how two separate events in Jim and Blair's lives and the secrets and lies that surround them could inter-react with one another to both tragic and tender ends.[2]

Someone gets under Jim's skin. Now Jim doesn't know what he's capable of... The ending was nothing I expected, and everything I hoped it would be.[3]
