Audra Rose is more well-known for her darker Sentinel fic, such as the superb “Summer Sea” trilogy and “Sum of the Parts”. But she can do comedy with the best of them, as demonstrated in this short story written for last year’s ts_ficathons . It starts with a friend leaving a baggie of unknown substance on Blair's desk for safe-keeping. Blair is not at all assured by the statement that “It's not illegal!  In most countries... just don't smoke it, okay? …. Or open it. Or... travel to the Phillipines.”

 

Ah but it’s too late; the baggie’s been opened and, like Pandora’s box, the damage is done. Blair is worried that he’ll be arrested, but the consequences are much more dire. You’ll have to read the story to find out what happens to our favorite observer.

Truly, Madly, Deeply

I just love this fic to death.

Blair's run-at-the-mouth truthful commentary, his succinct summary of his "entitlement" and "neglect" issues, his admission that he suspects Sam's statement about his ability to maintain a relationship just might be true, the knock-knock joke thesis slam, and that dreadlocks final shaft, "so 1990"!

Beautiful!

She really packed so much into this story. Every time I read it I'm awed by how choice it is. I laugh and laugh.
