Oh, my! That was absolutely lovely. The angst was fantastic, the tension, even the sort of sadness of Blair having not accepted Jim's advances years ago and regretting it.


I also love the contrast of the hot and the cold as a running theme. Very nice!

And the sex, which was, clearly, carefully constructed to hit several of my hot buttons, just makes me shiver thinking about it! Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Thanks so much!
