It is a companion story to The Sun From Both Sides.
Reactions and Reviews
I love stories from an outsider’s pov, where another character considers and reacts to the main characters and their relationship. The best of them reveal insights about all the characters involved.This is one my favourites. It’s set post-series; Blair is officially a cop and Jim’s partner.
Simon’s a good detective and police captain but events can still take him by surprise even – or especially – when the clues are under his nose. Here, his discovery of a relationship between two of his officers, who also happen to be his friends, is pretty damned inconvenient for him.
Simon’s a decent man in canon and it’s great to find a fic that keeps him in character, trying to understand and sympathise but still having to be professional and do his job....
This fic is a companion piece to another superb story by Veronica, The Sun from Both Sides, which has already been recced here on crack_van. Penumbra is set after that but easily stands on its own.[1]
