Great story! I'm glad that you wrote a sequel to last year's - this worked really well. I have a huge soft spot for Blair being tough and competent and being able to process things on his own. And the gender-bending stuff was awesome and hot!

I couldn't write the sequel till I learned what Caro's prompt would be, but I enjoyed playing around with the gender-bending element and doing a case fic, too.

I would think that doing undercover work carries with it the real problem of character bleed, and having Blair struggle with Jacob's character was interesting.

I'm glad it all worked for you, thanks so much for reading and commenting,

Heh, I think it's only fair that since Jim likes Blair to do some gender-bending, he has to get a little more involved himself by buying whatever he wants to see Blair wear. It seems like a nice, equal, we're-both-getting-something-out-of-this sharing of making it work.

I love Blair losing his (bowling) shirt and socks, not just his shoes, and being mistaken for a hooker, and Jim having to just deal with it all, and that killer moment when big-shirt-wearing, lip-sticked Blair puts the gun under Pinkerton's chin.

Fun and angsty and sexy, all wrapped up together (and I can certainly see Blair exploring gender-bending, for any of a number of reasons :-)).

Blair and you think alike on the gender-bending deal. Sneaks is just so handy a character, isn't he, and since it is canon that he managed to make Blair give him his shoes, I thought, why stop there?

I'm pretty fond of the point in the story when underestimated Blair just shows Michael who he actually is.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the story, and since Blair's as curious as a cat (looks sideways at you) sure, he'd want to play around a bit, since he'd been doing it for the job.

Thanks for reading and commenting,

I've had to rethink the cat option. Dolphin remains a possibility; typing would be even more of a challenge, however.

::postpones the (probably futile, what else is new) attempt to achieve dolphinhood and loves on the "Cascade PD, asshole" moment again -- sort of one-track mind today, but mmm::

I LOVED the moment when Blair went from victim Jacob to hero cop! Booyah!

You set it all up beautifully, I love undercover Blair stories and this was perfectly crafted! Totally believable and then the infiltration of the gender bending theme slowly taking over the web of the story - wow!. The resolution of the case was massively satisfying, but the gentle mutual bending of the smex at the finale was smoking hot!

LOVED IT!!!

I think Jim was probably feeling the same way when Blair got the upper hand with Michael.

It was interesting to do a case fic with the traditonal hotness of the O stories, and I'm glad both aspects worked for you.

Thanks for reading and the fabulous feedback,
