Review:
While investigating the brutal slaying of several teenagers (with the threat of more killings to come), Jim realizes that Blair might have some potential gifts of his own. Unfortunately, Blair's gift is threatening to kill him.

A good, solid casefic -- the mystery is layered and suspenseful and the stakes high. Jim and Blair's relationship is also under pressure as Blair embraces denial when it comes to his powers and what they might mean for him and for Jim. The characterization are great all around, especially Jim (who feels that sometimes Blair needs a bit more obsessive hovering than just one person can provide) and Blair (headstrong. Just... so very headstrong). Finally, I love the fact that Major Crimes gets to be competent even when Jim and Blair aren't around.

Angsty, dark, and a bit grim, but full of solid police work and an intriguing mystery. Great for people who love a good case fic.
