Review:
Not your typical post TS by BS fic. Rather than focusing on Blair's depression and angst, Recovery Epic is about how he moved on and became a cop in his own right, rather than just hanging on Jim's coattails. First step: leave Cascade. It's not always an easy journey (especially once Blair gets back to Cascade and finds that it's just so easy to fall back into familiar patterns -- the same patterns that hadn't worked the first time), but it's a meaningful and believable one. The Blair at the end of this fic is stronger and happier than the Blair at the beginning and you get to see every step of his growth.

Spot-on characterization of Blair and Jim are coupled with some of my favorite OCs ever; mix in a layered, interesting plot and you have a fantastic, intelligent post-series fic.
