Why this must be read: Lois Balzer is a favorite author of mine in this fandom. No Center Line is a TS/Nash Bridges/Millennium crossover. It contains some fairly heavy violence and adult themes. Lois manages to merge the crossover series so well here that it really doesn't matter whether you know the other shows or not. I've never seen Nash Bridges but was easily able to envision the characters from that show while reading this. The connection between Jim and Blair is so well drawn that it pulls you in from the beginning and keeps you reading till the end. Jim never gives up on finding Blair even when things seem hopeless and the aftermath of what's happened still brings tears to my eyes when I'm reading this story.

There's also a sequel, And Dream That I Am Home Again, that can be found on the author's main page.

I checked there and it didn't come up with the find function. Sorry.

Thanks. Merlin checked the rest of my list for me and said it appears none of them have been recced that she can see so hopefully I'm good to go for the rest. At least the last time No Center Line was recced was 4 years ago so maybe some newer readers got to read it this time round too

One of a handle of comfort fics I come back to again and again. (Um, comfort defined rather broadly!)
