First of a trilogy of stories, sequel to Sentinel Too. Putting themselves back together after the trauma. Putting each other back together. Nice. Though I'm not quite sure that Blair is right, actually.

Addendum: this trilogy nominated for favourite series in the 2001 Cascade Times Awards.

Second of a trilogy of stories, sequel to Primary Focus. Some light, some heavy. A chance to look at some of those other than Jim & Blair. And what a knowledge of furniture-location says about one's relationships. (smile)

Third of a trilogy of stories, sequel to Movers and Shakers. All three should be read together, really. Nice, but it hit my overkill buttons... the sight thing started off intriguing, but then my suspension of disbelief collapsed when it was implied to be externally purposeful. Usual good style, though.

Addendum: this trilogy was nominated in the 2000 Cascade Times Awards in the "favourite S2 story" category.
