Author Website The link I have for this story (http://www.paper-hearted.org/ffiction.html) expired on the 22nd of February, 2010 but she is also currently working on archiving all her stories on AO3.
Why this must be read:
The author's summary of this short little fic is "Jim is talking, Blair isn't listening." but it is SO much more.
This is my first post on Crack Van and I always knew that if I were to drive the Crack Van for The Sentinel fandom that this would be my first rec. It is hard to find (and as far as I can tell no longer exists on-line at all), few have read it, and it presents a version of Blair that I just adore. This Blair has moved in and made Jim's loft his own. He's self-absorbed. He is taking advantage of Sentinel vulnerabilities. He is making big plans. Poor Jim (and his color-coded Tupperware) never stood a chance.
The story is short enough that I have simply put it behind a cut since it has now disappeared from the Web.
ETA: Well, oops. Apparently I was not suppose to post a story in its entirely that has been removed from the internet. I am SO sorry. In the comments that follow, there are suggestions as to how to go about contacting the author and getting permission. I will follow up on it.
Also, I am deleting only the story, not the entire post, because people have already commented and that seemed rude to them.
I really am sorry about this. I had no clue what I was doing was wrong.
ETA #2: HAPPINESS! I found the author (massive thanks to those of you who provided me with enough clues to find her!) and she has very graciously agreed to rush and post this story to her site at Archive of Our Own. So, I can now legitimately rec this wonderful story.
