Reactions and Reviews
They're hardly ever together...it's probably (technically <g>) *gen* ferchristsake, but God, I loved Ministers of Grace by Lanning Cook. Sometimes an entire list conversation (or argument...or even screaming match) can be summarized in fiction. This story encapsulates all of the "is Naomi a bad mom? What about Jim's Dad...and hey, Jim's Mom had to be a complete bitch not to come running when the kids needed her, right?" conversations with possible answers that are so grounded in the show and hang together so well, that I think I'll always have to fight thinking, "well, *that*'s why Jim's Mom..." [1]
It's pre-slash, and if I recommend a pre-slash story, without sex, you can be sure it's without parallel in its creamy goodness...Why you should read this: This story throws characterization up against the wall and nails it dead center at point-blank range with a shotgun. The Jim-Naomi dynamic in particular made my jaw drop to the floor in awe. Maybe your jaw will join mine and the floor around Lanning's story will soon be littered with jawbones of the envy-stricken.
What might throw you off stride: The dashes are not formatted correctly.[2]
Lanning Cook does it again...I love the writing, I love the characterization, I love the story.[3]
Jim has been acting odd lately. Blair finds out that Jim's mood has something to do with his parents. R: I thought that this story was good, but it lacked a little bit of detail, or rather, it was like a very detailed outline of a story.[4]
