Why this must be read:
As I’ve said before, post-TSbyBS stories occupy a special place on my mantle. I think it’s because no matter how hard TPTB tried to tie up everything into a neat little ball in the series’ last episode, that ball had an awful lot of dangling bits. Not the least of which was the subject of Blair’s dissertation, and how that would factor in Jim and Blair’s relationship going forward. Here, Destina takes the conventional subject of Jim getting to read Blair’s diss, and turns it into a brilliant character study, and pretty damned hot PWP, as well.
Plus, we all know who's really in charge in that relationship!
He wanted to be pleased, he really did, and he tried to water the little seed of pride that was looking for attention, but he was drowning in doubt. The thought of Jim poring over every page, digesting every roughly written, technically diluted piece of information, made him break out into a cold sweat.
"You sure you want to, Jim? I mean, don't feel like you have to," Blair said slowly, tucking a strand of hair behind his ears. As usual, the moment he looked away, he felt Jim's eyes on him. Strange how Jim spent so much time looking, but only when there was no possibility of connection.
"You put years of work into it." Jim's tone was mild, but there was something there, something of the persuasive and irresistible variety. "I'm interested."
Blair raised his eyes suddenly, and locked into Jim's gaze.
"Okay," he said, feeling curiously subdued. He rose from the arm of the chair, heading for the bedroom, pushing the door nearly closed behind him.
It occurred to him that maybe he should get a grip, that there was no reason to be paranoid. He'd been up-front all the way through, no twisting of truth, no surprises.
So why did he suddenly feel like keeping that one hard copy was a crazy mistake?
