Author Website: Caro Dee's Insatiable Site (this fic hasn't been uploaded here yet, however); she's also uploading her fic (including this story) to AO3 here (Thanks,magician114!)
Warnings: NON-CON (rohypnol) / fantasy
Why this must be read:
Because it's still MMoB, and this amazing, haunting -- eviscerating -- short fic takes that first "M" and carves "Merry" right the heck off, replacing it with words like "Perfect" and "Dark" and "World-View-Shattering" and "Oh my God I can't bear this".
Note that "dark", okay? Cat on the Roof is the epitome of dark!fic. This fic is NOT for everyone. The fantasy that Jim's getting himself off on isn't fluffy bunnies and pretty unicorns and "I Love Blair", or even "Blair's an okay guy, not too bad-looking, and I spend half my life with him anyway with him so what the hell"; the fantasy that Jim gets himself off on is profoundly disturbing.
Like the best dark!fic, this is more than just a gut-wrenching read; it opens the door to issues (and to possibilities) that make you think (make you shiver), make you see through new eyes, before it leaves you in a broken heap on the floor afterwards.
Caro Dee owns dark!fic, and this compellingly written (and also very hot, in its twisty way) ficlet is a masterful example of that.
BTW -- the fantasy Jim gets himself off on is NOT what you're probably thinking it is. I'm not going to say anything further, though, because Jim says it perfectly, so terribly perfectly...
