Looking for specific fic: Jim returns to Cascade after army
Hi,
Looking for a specific fic (think it is one fic) where Jim returns from the army and makes friends with blair who is already a professor. I don't remember if Jim is still a cop, but remember a few specific details.
Blair lives in a cottage or a small house, rather than 852 Prospect. I seem to remember it had a gate or was behind a wall, slightly hidden away.
Blair is friends with a women that has kids, who is being stalked/abused by her ex and has to arrange visitation - they arrange for him to pick the kids up from blair's house so he doesn't know where she lives. Blair is really protective of the kids, like a surrogate father. Blair has a dog or dogs in the story. Jim sleeps over on the sofa - I think I remember the dog wakes him (maybe from a nighmare) by licking his hand. Blair says something like, you should take the dog home as he is practically yours anyway to Jim.
It starts out as friends but am certain it ends up as slash, is either a longer story or a series I think. Seem to think it was 852 archive, but have lacked google fu to find it and can't seem to see it having transferred onto Ao3.
That's all I remember, probably a terrible description! Would love to re-read it.
