Reactions and Reviews

This is kidfic with a twist. What I love about it is that kidBlair isn't overly cutesie and Jim is adorably bewildered and out of his depth with a mini version of his guide in place of the one he's come to rely on.The slug scene is worth the price of admission alone.[1]

Incacha decides that it's time for Sandburg to go to "Shaman School". Unfortunately, while Sandburg is away, he's replaced on the physical plane by a five-year-old version of himself. Cue Jim Ellison suddenly learning to be a father (Simon helps. A lot.) and Blair Sandburg learning to be a shaman (primarily by being a wiseass).
This series is just plain cute. Mini-Blair is adorable, parental!Jim nearly as much so, Simon kicks almighty ass, and Adult-Blair is both entertaining and resilient as he takes his lessons (though, fair warning, his lessons consist of: "Jim is way more important than you -- stop trying to pretend you have any life outside of him". Fortunately said lessons are a very, very small part of the story). If you're looking to be overwhelmed with cuteness, have any love at all for kid!fics, and/or love watching Simon being awesome, you'll definitely enjoy this fic.[2]
