TS Rec 'Lunch Break' By Carodee Jim/Blair NC17

[janedavitt]

carodee writes Jim dark, dark, dark sometimes; with a humorous edge, sometimes, sure, as in her Insatiable series, but in the Controlverse, there's nothing but the darkness, swamping both Jim and Blair and it's car crash compelling, can't look away, stuff.

She's just added a new fic to the 'verse:

Lunch Break, and definitely read the warnings, but if you already know this verse, you'll know what to expect.

I had the pleasure of beta reading it and I'm so taken with the way she's slowly revealing Jim's motivations. He's still doing unforgivable stuff to Blair but I'd say of the two of them, Jim's more the victim and more the one broken beyond repair than Blair, no matter what Blair's suffering.

It's intense and very different from the usual Jim/Blair, but it has at its core, as most fics in this fandom do, the conviction that these two are bound together, for whatever reason, endlessly orbiting each other, unable to break away.

In this 'verse, that's literal.

ETA Caro's posted a timeline with links to all the fics in the 'verse here.
