    Summary

    This follows Jim and Leonard from their first meeting on the shuttle from Riverside through to about six weeks in to their first year, and tracks the development of their friendship (and the underlying attraction) as they get to know each other. Leonard suspects Jim hasn't had an easy life. Turns out, he's absolutely right, and Jim only copes so far.

    Jim....Well Jim just wants to reach out. And he's awful at it.
