Dissect the Supposition by Aria (PG-13)
Fandom: SANCTUARY
Pairing: James/John, minor Helen/John
Length: 4,200 words
Author on LJ:
ariafic
Author Website: Aria @ AO3
Why this must be read: A very intense fic covering all the way from the very start of James and John's relationship to the very end. Aria takes all that slashy subtext that was dripping off of James and John during that epic scene in Revelations Part 2 ("It was you!") and makes excellent use of it. An utterly poignant and sometimes painful journey through past and present. Aria does an amazing job with James' POV, and the writing style and dialogue is fantastic.
"Why change the rules?" he asks Druitt miserably, over brandies at the club. "It's playing hell with my deductions. I thought he was too damned arrogant to get so clever. Do you think he did it simply to throw me off the scent?" He knows it's terribly narcissistic, but he can't help feeling this like the personal affront it is.
But Druitt merely shakes his head, looking thoughtful. "Perhaps," he says, "the old boy's losing his taste for the sport."
