Ok, honestly I’m not usually this harsh with anyone. Not even minor deities.
Heh, I love that.
And this part -- “Stay.”
It was the word he used the day I had packed up to give him his space after the Deuces and the 357’s case was finished. It was the word he didn’t use but I could see on his face when Eli offered me the spot to Borneo. It was the word he whispered in my ear when I was high on Golden.
Shoot. That completely makes me melt. I love the continuity, and I love the thought of Jim whispering that to Blair while Blair was fighting for his life... oh,, yeah, definitely melting here...
I so like Blair's pissiness at the start of the fic, and then that melting "stay" -- and I love the "stay" not just for here, but because it's a word that reflects so much of their relationship (not just in this fic, but in a lot of views), with Jim never quite sure of whether Blair *will* be staying, because of the diss, etc.
