Why this must be read:

I'm following justacat's lead and pointing you toward a delightful little story from the uber-talented Francesca, a/k/a Speranza.

For whatever reason, "Anniversary Story" is a little gem that, somehow, has been overlooked by quite a few people who think they've read 'everything she's written.'

And you really shouldn't overlook it: it has the snappy dialogue, the non-wimpy!Blair, the gruff-on-the-outside-yet-mushy-on-the-inside!Jim, the "hey, you know what? We're in love" conceit that's used a lot because, particularly for Jim and Blair, it fits.

Plus, you know - it's hot. Not NC-17 (click around her page for a while; you'll find some, trust me), but it does feature a kiss both delicious and delightful.

Now, then - off with you. You have reading to do.

Ooh! I just read that one a few days ago and *loved* it! I'm gonna go read it again!

Hee! It's one of my favorites (that one and "The Night Sandburg Graduated From the Academy"). I'm working on a couple more recs, this time of stories with actual Length and Intriguing Mystery Plots. Heh. We'll see if I get off my lazy ass and post them today!

Night Sandburg Graduated . . . is my favorite TS story of all time! I read it like, once a week! Reet, you have the best taste, man!

Why no subject line, darlin'? *cracks whip*

I really like this story, too! Nice rec. :)

Ah, shit. Sorry about that, babe - I just fixed it. Suppose it's what I get for posting while half-asleep!

I'm sure it's no surprise that I love this one too, though it's been a long time since I read it!

The woman is amazing.

I'm in total agreement with you there.

And you, madam, are quite the tough act to follow (well, not follow, exactly) when it comes to recs. They're written with more style and content than half the fic a person runs across these days!

(Although I still vow not to get sucked into yet another fandom. *glares at the Mountie, et al*)

Wow. I mean, wow. That's just so flattering, I don't know what to say. Thank you!!!

Maybe if I write some more of them I can lure you over to the Mountie side ... ;-)
