Review:
aka Jim and Blair Go On a Date By Accident. Which, all things considered, perfectly describes their canon relationship.

The absolute best part of this fic is the banter -- Zelempa's Jim and Blair voices are spot-on and sparkling and completely irresistible. Between Blair's "secret code of dating", Jim's response to Naomi asking for his birthday, and the guys' slow realization that they'd inadvertently crossed the line between friendship and dating without even noticing it, the first three-quarters of the story is driven almost entirely by dialogue so crisp it puts Sentinel canon to shame.

I have to admit that the ending does drag a bit (probably because there's too much thinking and not enough talking), but that is off-set by the characters basically explaining why smarm makes no sense. Well, that and seeing Jim attempt to translate Blair's dating code. (What can I say? I'm easy.)

A cute and fluffy fic for anyone seeking a fast read and a quick smile.
