Some names have been changed here to meet the author's current online usage.
* At the Movies by Katrina Bowen ("'Okay, Jim, I have a plan. Here's what we're going to do.' He thrust his arm in Jim's general direction. 'Hold my hand.'") (1)
* Definition of Okay by Glacis ("'Jim? Buddy? You okay?' Visions of Lash were dancing in his head. A crazed psychopath had slipped in and caught Jim unaware and killed him and thrown his jacket on the floor as a final triumphant sign of his victory. Sociopathic equivalent of peeing on the chair leg.") (8)
* The Trap by Pumpkin ("'You sound just like him,' Jim told him quietly. 'You look like him too, only prettier.' 'Him?' 'My partner.'") (20)
* Sunrise, Sunset (Part 1, Part 2) by Legion ("Almost as if he were merely a spectator, he watched his own vehicle keep going, never hesitating for the stop light. Analytically he decided he would collide about where the gas tank was on the big rig, and that everyone would think he'd fallen asleep at the wheel after a long shift.") (27)
* The Honeymooners by Penelope Whistle ("As he was wiping his face with one hand and starting the engine with the other, he saw Blair's bedraggled head at the passenger-side window and unlocked the door. 'Change your mind?' The tone was almost acid. 'Yeah. I forgot my car was in the shop.' Blair closed his eyes and took a deep breath. 'Thanks.' The word came out like an insult.") (60)
* Writing on the Wall by Sandy Justine ("All the lies that I had told myself were beginning to unravel, and I could see, clearly, what I had to do. My hands were shaking as I dialed the phone. 'Ellison.' His tone and the noise in the background suggested that he was in the bullpen. 'I'm in Mexico,' I told him. 'Get your ass on a plane.'") (68)
* Bare by Mickey M ("I knew that every third day he drank peppermint tea with breakfast, and every Thursday he ate two cheeseburgers for lunch. I knew when he jerked off in the shower, and the days he jerked off in bed, instead.") (84)
* Paranoia by Francesca ("He heard Blair whisper his name, he felt Blair's hand splayed against his back. He raised his head to look at the cracked windshield and cringed in sudden horror. Blair was in the car, a gash across his forehead, blood running from his nose, head lolling back against the seat: neck broken.") (90)
* On A Good Day by Arduinna ("Blair, without an ounce of compassion, sat there and ate his mashed potatoes at Jim until they were gone.") (109)
* Senses & Sensibility by Kass ("The worst week of Jim Ellison's life started with a plate of scrambled eggs.") (119)
* Folie a Deux by Sihaya Black ("I hold my beer tightly and take a deep breath. 'I've got something I need to tell you...' Simon's eyes narrow, and Megan tilts her head like she can hear my heart pounding its way through my chest. I look at Jim once, for courage, and continue. 'I'm quitting the Academy.' Then I grab Jim's hand and sit back while they all start to shout at once.") (129)
* Ceiling: Unlimited by Bone ("Brown took me aside once, a couple of months ago, and asked me how in the hell I took living with him and working with him. I didn't tell him it was easy when living with him meant enjoying the most incredibly astonishing, mind-melting, eye-rolling, thought-robbing, crotch-throbbing orgasms of my life and working with him meant my life was complete. I didn't spill those beans. No, I just grinned at him, slapped his back and said it was a nasty job but somebody had to do it.") (144)
* Many Waters by Lanning Cook ("Shit. Shit! Not tonight. Jim reached for the receiver, but Blair laid a gently restraining hand on Jim's chest. 'No,' continued Blair mildly, meeting Jim's gaze with a wry expression. 'This is the little faggot. The big faggot is steam-pressing my negligee at the moment. Can I take a message?'") (151)
* A Lawless Place by Sandy Herrold ("He's on the phone at - I lift the newspaper from where it's fallen onto the clock radio - three twenty-seven a.m. And from the half of the conversation I let myself listen to, he's talking to a librarian somewhere in Australia. After some profuse-sounding thanks, he hangs up the phone and sits back down at his laptop. 'Why can't you be like a normal roommate and call sex lines?' I call down to him.") (194)
* Sex by Anna S ("'You never call me your bitch,' Blair said when they were in the truck, three blocks down the street, Jim taking a light. Jim did not hit any cars when he swerved a foot off-course, and counted himself lucky.") (199)
* A Quiet War by Merryish ("And about the paper. Because on some level, I knew he thought they were one and the same. Inextricably linked. Jim and the paper, the paper and me, me and Jim, and this place. Home. Six chapters to go before the pattern we'd settled into could be broken. I wiped my hands, suddenly slick and cold, against my jeans. Six chapters and we were out of this mess; six chapters, and we were home free.") (215)
