It Happened One Night is a Jim/Blair story by Penelope Whistle.
Reactions and Reviews
On first read I thought that this story had some heartwrenchingly beautiful lines, but was far too romantic and implausible for my taste. By the 5th time I'd read it, I was forced to conclude that I do romantic & implausible more than I thought I did.[1]
Writing dialogue is an art, and writing dialogue that flows perfectly is extremely difficult. Penelope has written a fic that relies heavily on dialogue, and if you read it straight through, you will hear Blair and Jim speaking. It's as though she channeled them directly. I was completely drawn in by this story of Jim and Blair's conversation regarding the top five things they would never tell one another -- and when they get close to number one, this fic goes from being very good to being amazing.[2]
Jim and Blair spend the night actually getting to know one another. Peanut shells and Truth or Dare are involved. This little story is a wonderful "first time" story (my favorite kind). It is one of the most "real" and engaging stories I've read in awhile. The actions and reactions and revelations are very true to life. Funny, sweet and touching.[3]
