Reactions and Reviews

Like with Guardians of the Tribe, that I recced above, Jim can turn into a jaguar (yeah, I have a soft spot for those), but unlike in that AU, here nothing else in canon is changed, and at the beginning of the story Jim isn't aware of his ability either. I thought the story handled Jim and Blair dealing with the new weirdness well, and the explanations for the jaguar transformation worked as an extension of the show's mysticism.[1]

I usually devour slash, but I enjoy this gen story, an AU on a shape-changing theme, which is what you get in a fandom with canon animal spirit guides. Fine old TS themes of trust between our guys are given an enthusiastically angsty airing in a tale combining horror and case-story elements. One caveat if you insist on clean text; this longish story has a few proof-reading errors, but don’t let it stop you. Also, the author gives an R rating, but this hardened horror buff is more inclined to suggest PG13.[2]
