Why this must be read:
Author Summary:

Jamie Bennett grew up and stopped believing four years ago. But when he's feverish and hallucinating, Jamie's imaginary friend comes back into his life.

Even though this work is technically listed as a WIP (at 4/? chapters), I think that's more for the author's convenience should ze decide to add additional chapters later, as IMO the work is complete as is.

This is the first real Bennefrost (Jack/Jamie) fic I've recced (I don't really count This Old House b/c it's an AU and that relationship isn't particularly important to the story). While Bennefrost isn't usually my cup of tea, it does have what I look for in the ship, which is the evolving relationship between them as Jamie grows. While this fic definitely falls under smut for me, it's within a context of fluff and emotions that are done well. We get to see how Jack reacts to losing believers, and there's a lot of "off-screen" implications about Jamie's college life. There's also some nice fleshing out of Jack's character, with implied human background and an awkward sex talk with North in which Jack learns a bit more about how the spirit world works. Chapter sections alternate Jamie's and Jack's point of view.

This work also has one of my favorite exchanges from fanfic:
"Jamie, you can't... you can't do that to me."

"Why not? Are you straight?"
