Moving On is a Jim/Blair story by Alyjude.
Reactions and Reviews
Blair has a brilliant idea to get him and Jim together: he tells Jim that he's moving out. Shockingly enough, that plan backfires. As I've mentioned before Alyjude is one of my favorite guilty pleasure authors, and this fic is one of her tastier pop-tarts (for those who don't know, pop-tarts are essentially fluffy fanfic). Combine Jim being thick and Simon being awesome with copious amounts of Blair-whumpage, and you've got the perfect way to while away an hour or two.[1]
Ever decide to say or do something only to find that the response you thought would happen, didn't?For me, when I was seven, it was deciding to give the illicit ice cream cone I'd bought from the Mr. Softie truck to my dad, thus thwarting my brothers and sisters plan to tell on me. After all, if I said I'd bought the ice cream for Dad, with my very own dime, then I wouldn't be in trouble for breaking the no-buying-ice-cream-without-permission rule.
I fully expected my dad to appreciate my gesture and as a reward, tell me that he was letting me eat his my ice cream cone. So I watched in disbelief when my plans were crushed when he just said, “Thanks” and ate it in front of me.
In Moving On, Blair decides that he's going to panic Jim into making a play for Blair by telling him he's thinking of moving out into his own place. He gives Jim some very reasonable reasons why it's time. What he expects is for Jim to tell him not to move out, and sexy times will commence.
That's not what happens.
This is an enjoyable story with plenty of funny moments (I got a kick out of Blair talking to himself, and his interactions with his new friend, a hooker with a heart-of-gold) but will also tug at your heartstrings. (Note, there is an animal death in the story). Plus there's great banter with the Major Crimes guys, some wonderful insight by Simon Banks, and kittens.[2]
