Review:
Very early in the series (like, before Larry the Ape disappeared), Jim and Blair go shopping. And it is awesome. No, no terrorists. Not even any mid-aisle nookie. Just Jim quietly observing this virtual stranger shacking up at the loft and carrying on an absolutely hilarious internal monologue about the entire experience.

Most Sentinel fic is either written around the concept of love at first sight (which, ugh) or is set later in the series, after the boys have become fast friends. Big kudos to Julad for trying something different, and making it work. No, Jim doesn't have a magical, instant-love connection with Blair. What he does have is curiosity amplified by a healthy dose of physical interest, coming up against some of the most mixed signals ever to come off of a neo-hippie, witch-doctor punk. Who buys tampons. (Talk about fucking with Jim's head.) Easily the best pre-slash fic I've ever read.
