Looking for Jim zones during dates story, which ends up Jim/Blair

[zellieh]

Hi, I'm looking for a Jim/Blair story, where ...how can I put this delicately?... Jim's having trouble being intimate with women because of the senses making him zone out at the, um, important moments. In the fragment I remember, Blair gets a frantic call from Jim's latest date, and when he gets home to see the extent of the problem, he offers to

Sounds sort of like Fruit of the Vine by Aristide. If it's not, it's still a great story.

That's it! That's the one I was looking for. Thanks! ::hugs::

Yeah I do that all the time. If you can think of any more of the other story perhaps we can find that one for you also! ^_^

sarituss already found the other story - it was Jennifer Lyon's What Else is a Guide Good For, which I found over at 852 Prospect.

I still feel a bit silly for mixing the two stories up like that, but at least I know I wasn't imagining things. ::g::

Thank you!

After re-reading What Else Is A Guide Good For, I think that's the story I was mixing up together with Aristide's Fruit of The Vine when I made my post. It's good to know I wasn't imagining things. ::G::

And thanks for the link to Brenda Antrim's story, too; I hadn't read that one before, and I liked it.

Just to make things even more confusing! Surrogate by Annabelle Leigh has Blair having sex with Jim to get him used to sensory stimulus. No big scene with a girlfriend, though.

Thank you! That's another story that I remember reading before; I had no idea there were so many stories with similar themes out there.

I'm starting to wonder just how many stories I smooshed together in my mind when I made this request. ::G::
