Although I half-hated watching TSbyBS, I half-loved it, too. Part of me couldn't help shouting at the television ("What do you two think you're doing? Haven't you learned to communicate yet?")—and the rest of me had to admit, it's a good episode. One of the best in the show. And it provides a terrific close to four seasons of TS—Blair gets the career death and rebirth to match the physical one he got in S2, Jim gains a "permanent, official" partner, Blair gains a new life, and they ride off into the sunset together.
A lot of people have written post-TSbyBS fic. I'm one of them; and while I was working on my own post-TSbyBS story (Mutual Orbit), I started reading post-TSbyBS stories in a semi-obsessive fashion. Hence, this webpage. This started out as a private email to someone; then it became a post to Prospect-L; now it's here. This is a partial list; these are the stories I most often come back to. Enjoy. And if you can think of stories I'm missing, hey, just lemme know.
