Yes, the added text did make things clearer (thank you for adding it!). There's a part of me that fears that IA would hassle the next gay couple to come along, but that's not Blair and Jim's fight. As Jim said in the revision: No matter how a judge decided the case, we probably wouldn't be able to effectively work together. If we split up and went to different departments where people didn't have to see us together, people might be willing to forget, but that sort of defeats the purpose of fighting this in the first place.
I can live with that.

Just add a line at the top to indicate that the bold text was added after the original posting, OK?

Man, I'm gonna miss the Phoenix characters. Would you consider having them show up in the latter part of the story somehow? (I can see Simon having a phone conversation with Captain Roth, for example, or Bets visiting a relative in Seattle and dropping by the Cascade PD bullpen for a visit and locking horns with Megan, showing how protective of Blair they both are... ;)
