Why this must be read:

Isn’t it funny what one’s brain picks up to cuddle? I love this fic for so many reasons, but the moment when Jim fixes the window is perhaps my favorite.

“Emily was behind the counter, and Jim was standing at the front door, the sleeves of his dark sweater pushed up, glazing one of the small panes of glass in the door. Blair frowned. Had he broken it last night? He didn't remember doing that...but he had been upset. Maybe he'd closed the door too hard and shattered it. He felt a pang of guilt that he hadn't noticed. If the pane had been broken all night...they were lucky that someone hadn't come in and robbed the place.

"So, you just need to let this cure," Jim was saying, smoothing the last of the glaze with a careful finger. "It should take a day or two. Fortunately, I think the weather's supposed to be clear." He gathered the tools and turned, catching sight of Blair. "Hey, Chief," he said quietly.”

Seconding your rec; I was just re-reading this the other day, loving it all over again. PsychGirl writes such beautiful angst and her writing is just lovely (and I always, always love her Jim and Blair and how real their conversations and thoughts are).
