Reactions and Reviews

I really love smarm. Really, really, really. And this is probably the third-most smarmy story in TS fandom. If you know TS, you know what this means.[1]

"River's Edge" has long been my yardstick for all other smarm. I have to go back and read it every so often :) [2]

That was so cool - again! Very good point about someone else's need to protect not meaning that the protectee is weak or a wimp. That's an eternal verity - ten bonus points! Another gentle Jim thing - gentle but not really out of character, strangely enough. Not sappy. Maybe because much of it was nonverbal. Another five bonus points for the "David and Johnathan" bit.[3]

This is a sweet and angsty little story about Blair's continuing recovery from the various things that have happened to him in his time as Jim's partner. Lois' has a lovely way with description and it's easy to imagine yourself in each scene as it unfolds.[4]
