Author's Summary

He's without a partner right now, but Jim knows Captain Mancini is on the lookout for another one. You're good with rookies, he tells Jim, and Jim nods and thanks him for the compliment, though it feels like a short jab with a knife when he says it.

Reactions and Reviews

Blair starts at the academy but inexplicably moves away. He gets his doctorate in anthro on another subject and then does expeditions and university work. He and Jim keep in touch on a superficial basis. Two years after the last time they met, Jim has a personal and professional crisis, which causes him to seek out Blair. Lovely writing and an interesting post-TSBS path. Well worth a read! [1]

Awesome story, even if my heart is breaking at the seven years together that they lost! *sniff* [2]

I created an account on this site, after years of lurking, almost entirely to be able to bookmark this story to make finding it easier. It is one of my all-time favorites in any fandom and I come back to it again and again. The atmosphere of this story -- both the emotional atmosphere and the physical setting -- is so compelling that I think about it often. In any case, thank you. You are one of my favorite writers on this site, with an exceptional body of work. [3]

This story is incredibly well-written! The bittersweet lost years are so compelling, the reunion a gentle homecoming for two people who are each other's sanctuary. 😍 [4]
