Why this must be read: Blair….animals…Jim. What’s not to like? In honor of Garett Maggart (Blair) and his love for the Moonridge animals, I’m recommending this story of Blair as a veterinarian. Yeah, this is an AU.

After Naomi is murdered (before the story begins) Blair relocates under the Witness Protection Program and drops his beloved anthro studies to become a vet. “Jacob Sanborn” is much respected in the little town and is contemplating marriage to a local woman. Enter Jim Ellison, former cop and now a PI. His current job? Find Blair Sanburg. The client? Blair’s uncle “Lew”, who wants to see his beloved but estranged nephew before he dies. Oh Jim! Can we say dupe?

Romslinger keeps us entertained throughout. She fills this AU world with details – the ups and downs of living in a small town, what a vet would face day to day, and the fears/stress of a WPP refugee trying to make a life while maintaining a lie. There are echoes of canon peppered throughout that devotees of the show will find amusing .

One last MR connection – Romslinger wrote this as a result of a Moonridge auction bid. I love this charity – it just brings out the best in the fandom. Enjoy (and don’t forget to give feedback if you do)!
