Comments by the Author
Kitchen Song (posted 9/18/04) was written over a period of two and a half years from roughly '97 through '99, and is, in general, a sort of AU slash sequel to Snake Oil. Unfortunately, if you come to this story expecting more ghoulies, suspense or coherent narrative, you'll be sadly disappointed. There's nearly half a meg of story here, and the only thing that passes for plot is the unfolding drama of whether Jim and Blair will ever stop fondling each other long enough to get some dinner. NC-17, I suppose, for extended descriptions of the dangly bits.[1]
Reactions and Reviews
My last fic rec of this month is one of my very favourite Jim/Blair love stories. However, you’ll need to set aside a good couple of hours to do it justice.Kitchen Song can’t be pigeonholed in any one category although it is technically a ‘first time’ fic. But there’s so much going on here that the story reads more like a written tapestry of everything there is to love about The Sentinel.
Martha describes it as ‘an afterward to Snake Oil,’ itself one of the best fics I’ve come across and generally one of my favourite ghost stories ever. The events in Kitchen Song will make more sense if you've already read Snake Oil.
Kitchen Song is long and languorous: Jim and Blair seem to make love in real time.[2]
