Review:
Blair is an elf and his homeland is calling its citizens home. Only problem is, Blair doesn't want to go back. Unfortunately, he might not have a say in the matter.

First, I want to emphasize: this is *not* crack fic.

That said, this is a *great* story with a premise I had never thought of, but which I quite enjoyed. No matter his origins, Blair is still Blair, but now he's a unique individual, in much the same way that Jim is unique. It's an interesting dichotomy and one that made me think long after finishing the story. Mix in a suspensful plot, a gaggle of elves with various motivations, and Simon being exceedingly put upon and you have an engaging romp that is ideal for anyone who is a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, elves, and/or Blair.
