Why this must be read:
Why, yes, I enjoy long stories, why you ask? *laughs* But this is so good! The dialogs! The slow pace of their falling in love! Shaman!Blair! This is an amazing read, wherein Jim and Blair go to Peru, so Blair can go through his initiation as Shaman. And it's so well done: funny and well paced and... here, have a look:
He reached Sandburg just as Blair leapt forward and managed to bounce the ball back into the circle off his head. Jim clapped a friendly hand on his shoulder, and when Blair turned to him grinning widely, jerked his head -- Come on, I want to talk to you.
"Isn't that cool?" Sandburg bubbled as the two men wandered away. "I tried to get the older girls into the game, but --"
"Sandburg, you spoke to the girls?"
"I'm a shaman," said Sandburg, as if that explained everything. "They're too old to play with the kids, but I convinced them that a good cheering section was vital to the game --"
"Listen," Ellison cut him off. "Do you want to go hunting?"
"Yeah, sure."
Jim continued as if he hadn't heard him. "The guys are organizing a hunting party. They want me to come with them, and asked if you wanted to go, too." He paused.
"I sense a 'but' here," urged Sandburg.
"But," Jim exhaled, "they understand if you want to stay here and -- and be my wife."
Sandburg laughed. "You could just tell them what really goes on." He enjoyed seeing his Sentinel almost blush, and slipped his arm around the taller man's waist. "Joking, joking," he assured him.
Ellison suddenly exclaimed, "Sandburg, you play with the children. You talk to the girls!"
"I'm a shaman," Blair repeated calmly. "I'm an anthropologist. I talk to everyone. And I know about berdache culture -- men living as women. But that's not me," he pointed out. "You're my Sentinel," he said, leaning into Ellison's shoulder. "I go where you go."
"You'd look lousy in a dress anyway. Too fucking hairy," Jim grumped over Blair's head, trying to hide a surge of inexpressible contentment.
