People Like You is a Jim/Blair story by Meredith Lynne.
Reactions and Reviews
Am I reccing this because the sheer power of my whining prompted Merry to post this? Because I got to select the title? No, because it's a new Merry story and lovely, lovely, lovely. What might throw you off stride: You will be left with haunting repetitive nightmares that you are getting up out of bed, staggering into the shower, and going into the office, getting up out of bed, staggering into the shower, and going into the office, getting up out of bed, staggering into the shower, and going into the office...no, wait. That's just my life.[1]
People like you by Merry Lynne is funny and sweet and funny and um... it's a Merry Lynne story, okay? One of the funny ones. It's got Jim and Blair in it, talking. It's one of those stories where you want to quote every single line to someone, so don't read it at work unless you have extremely understanding co-workers.[2]
Yet another story that should've been recced *ages* ago. Hilarious and *real*, a story that lets the guys be *guys*, and y'all ought to know by know that *that's* something I'm not likely to get tired of anytime soon.Here's a quote:
Coming out was probably taking that compulsion to an unwise extreme, but hell, I was on my fourth beer.
And he was asking for it.
"So you, you're not like just a parent or friend, as such," he said, stomping a little harder. "You're a lesbian or a g--"
"Yes, Blair," I said solemnly. "I'm a lesbian."

I love guys.[3]
The obligatory Sentinel section, 'cause I think my fic rec'ing card gets taken away if I don't hit some of these: [...] The past couple months has also seen a number of short, sweet and laugh-out-loud-until-you-choke-on-your-Dr.-Pepper-and-start-quoting-lines-to-your-coworkers TS stories. My personal favorites that made me want to be a real Sentinel fan again: Everything You Need In One Convenient Location by Julad (brilliant and vivid characterization, funny and sexy and set entirely in a grocery store), Like Oil for Latkes by Brighid (a sweet and funny Chanukah story) and People Like You by Merry Lynne (nothing groundbreaking, but the way Merry writes, it feels like it is. I still haven't stopped laughing.)[4]
