Under the Radar is a Jim/Blair story by LynnZo.

Reactions and Reviews

If this were a movie, I'd call it a 'sleeper'. Sneaky little thing....

Jim smiled down at him indulgently. "Yeah, Chief, sometimes it does." Blair's head found its natural place on Jim's shoulder again, and they stood there a while, in the warmth and the comfort and the darkness. Jim looked idly out the window at the rain, and then realized. Dark. As in, no lights in the kitchen. As in, no dinner. "What's for dinner, Sandburg?"

Why you should read this: This is courtship written with old-fashioned respect. It moves at a gentle pace and could probably single-handedly reclaim 'sweet' as a complimentary term. The domesticity is satisfying, and if you don't like it (you loft-mockers, you know who you are), don't come whining to me about it. When I read this story, I visualize a certain style of photographic posters where two hunky men gracefully embrace, making homoeroticism look completely natural. Which of course it is.

What might throw you off stride: God only knows. Do you kick puppies? Lock kittens in closets? Then you might find something to dislike here.[1]
