Loving You Less Than Life Series by Kadru (NC-17)

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Blair/OMC, implied past Jim/OMC, Jim/Blair
Author Website: Stories found through 852 Prospect
Why this must be read:

I'm actually really surprised these stories haven't been recced yet, and the only explanation I can think of is that Blair is in love with other people before he ends up with Jim. Which is a shame, because it's great casefic and the supporting characters in these stories are some of the most vivid and interesting I've met in fanfic, giving Jim a real run for his money and raising the tension level of the story to dangerous and delicious levels. I'm all for stories where Jim and Blair are together because it's their destiny and no one else will do, but I also love stories where they actually have to win each other over and work at the relationship, where Jim loves Blair and Blair loves Jim because of who they are, not because the Sentinel/Guide relationship leaves them no other choice.

Um, is there a sequel to this? Because as far as I can tell, there is no Jim/Blair by the end of this story. Far from it.

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Hence parts two and three below the first part. Trust me, the three stories go very good places, and Jim/Blair is the focus of part three.

[reginagiraffe]

Ahhh, I see. Part I has part 1, 2 and 3. I assumed when it said that it was broken up into 3 parts it meant I, II, and III.

Okay, my mistake.

When was it finished? The last I read it was still not quite done.

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

No clue, but you can check by searching for the date on Squidge.

This was fantastic - and I've never even seen Sentinel.

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Hey, I didn't see Sentinel for the first YEAR I was active in reading and writing the fandom. It's wonderfully easy to get sucked in to.

But now I want to read anything else by Kadru, and leave feedback - and the site and the email address have gone AWOL. Any knowledge?

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

852 is always a good bet: http://www.squidge.org/archive (http://www.squidge.org/archive)

Just use advanced search to find all her stories.

Feedback might be harder...

Actually, yes. Kadru put up a website once again, it's here.

http://www.geocities.com/kadru_25/index.htm

Although you won't find the Project 57-series there (aka Loving you less than life) she *does* have a note that explains why not.

As far as I know there's still one last story left she hasn't posted anywhere but is mostly finished, IIRC. I think it couldn't hurt to give her feedback and perhaps ask for this last story. I contacted her after I discovered the site and she answered kindly. :-)
