Why this must be read:

Ah, the travails of Blair... After the warehouse blows up, he tries to be low-maintenance as he looks for a new place to live.

Blair, Blair, Blair.

Jim, Jim, Jim.

And Larry, Goom, Phil, Raj, Blu, Annette...

"Shut up, Jim. And if you really want to know, I didn't wash my hair because I didn't take a shower because last night there were strange people in the living room I didn't particularly care to get naked anywhere near and there were a pair of fucking electric eels swimming around in the bathtub this morning. Satisfied?"

Hopefully better, though I have no idea what you're talking about.

Absolutely fantastic rec - hilarious and the Blair inner voice was awesome. This was such a wonderful gen piece I didn't even miss the slash!

Gosh, thanks for the rec! I love your description of the fic; it made me think about it from a not-having-written-it perspective, which is very cool, since I usually never get to that kind of perspective on my own. (And low-maintenance and Blair so do not even belong in the same dictionary, heh, even when he tries; so much fun to write...)

Oh, this is a great rec. I had just discovered t_verano's Sentinel stories a couple of weeks ago and am just delighted to see one of them rec'd here. Good choice. Her stories are wonderful.

I was enthralled the first time I read this story and it remains one of my favorite ones to come back to and read again. Blair trying to make ends meet so he can meet his sentinel's needs... Having lived in my share of crummy, cheap housing a student could afford, cockroaches and all, and stopping by the plasma center to sell blood for groceries... I empathized so much with Blair's struggle to stretch his resources so he can be with Jim instead of working a paying job. And Jim, figuring out what Blair was doing and finally, just having enough and doing a Jim-napping of a tired, exhausted partner, who's sure he can figure out what's going on with his sentinel's irrational demands, as soon as he's awake again.

I love this story,
Laurie
