Eating at Home, by Helen (NC-17)
Hi there. I’m reetchick, and I’ll be your TS ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van driver for January.
What can you expect from me? I like snappy dialogue and writers who aren’t afraid to take chances. I despise weepy!Blair, and I have a kink for bottom!Jim. Oh, and if you hadn’t guessed, I’m a big old slash whore. Additionally, I'm a bit of a cranky-pants tonight, so don't let anything I say wound you too grievously.
Anyway – though I am an inveterate slasher, in the spirit of bifictionality, I’ve promised myself to rec at least one gen and one het story this month. (Though that might end up being quite the challenge, given that this is TS, and the abundance of hetfic? Not so much.) Those, however, will come later in the month. Tonight is slashariffic, baby dolls.
Sit down, buckle up, and let’s roll.

Eating at Home
Remember what I said earlier about my love of snappy dialogue? This story’s got it in droves, and the guys - well, they talk like guys. Here, look at this
***
That night, Blair got up out of Jim’s bed and was on the first step before Jim said,
"you can stay. If you want to." Blair turned and made a noncommittal noise, and Jim said, "I mean, you did that first night."
"so?" Blair said.
"I’m just pointing out a friggen precedent," Jim said. "Go sleep in your bed if you want to," and he flopped over, drawing the covers up.
"No, no," Blair said, walking back towards the bed. "I’ll stay." Jim turned over on his back and stared up at him and said
"Don’t do me any favors."
"I wanna stay, so move over, you jackass," Blair said.
***
How can you not love that? Call me crazy, but in it's the tiniest bit schmoopy. Sarcastic and gripey, yes, but schmoopy too. And for all the kvetching, the story's ending always makes me a little misty-eyed.
Things of which you should be aware: Helen can be a little ... unconventional ... in her capitalization. If that sort of thing bothers you, get over it. No, I’m serious. If a red-pen wielding freak such as myself can read through the little things like that, you can too. Oy.
Now then. What are you still doing here? Go read it!
