Middle Ground is a Jim/Blair story by Maggie B.

Reactions and Reviews

Jim’s character fascinates me and I love stories that use his thoughts or his actions to examine the inner man.

This story does that in a wonderful little trip of self-discovery for Jim when he comes to realise he’s in love with Blair.

Of course, being Jim and a hands-on, kinesthetic-thinking kind of guy, he discovers this by experience rather than reflection. He’s familiarly taciturn but is still perfectly able to have an extended inner monologue which is all the more fascinating for the fact that he doesn’t actually say very much at all in the story.

And the reader, being less emotionally repressed than Jim, has the fun of figuring everything out before he does then watching him get around to catching on.

I read "Middle Ground" by Maggie B last night and I just adored it. Befuddled Jim and bright-eyed Blair, basketball in the rain and first times. It just yanked so many of my chains including my jealousy kink... *sigh* It was a lovely read.
