Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author Website: Story found at 852 Prospect
Why this must be read:

What can I say? I love strong!Blair. I love angsty!Jim. And I love tattoo stories. And saying any more would really spoil this puppy.

Blair stared, eyes wide, as if Jim had clubbed him with a sledgehammer. "You think..." he said, each word measured as a dose of explosive, "today...had anything to do with you?"

"Of course not, Sandburg, I keep forgetting how dangerous it is teaching classes," Jim snarled. "This has nothing to do with you riding along with me and getting exposed to every dirtbag and psycho in the Northwest!"

Blair's jaw dropped. Then he did the last thing Jim expected. He laughed.

"Jim, do you want to see how safe I've always been?" Blair stood up and walked around the table. "How safe I was until you came along to be my personal bodyguard? Look. Take a good long look!"

With that, Sandburg undid his jeans and shoved them to his knees, along with his underwear.

I rarely read Sentinel, but I followed the link and enjoyed the heck out of this, for exactly the reasons you describe. Weepy! or Fragile! Blair makes me want to rip out both his hair and mine. This Blair is a hot damn! kinda guy. Loved it. Thanks for the rec.

So glad you liked! I'm with you; there's nothing like a strong Blair running circles around everyone to make my day.

Hee!
I confess, when I used to watch Sentinel, it was the ultimate guilty pleasure. I could never imagine any other human being watching it who wasn't an adolescent boy.

Imagine my surprise when I found out THERE WAS A FANDOM and most of them were women like me! Of course, I came to slash a bit later, so I seem to have missed the Sentinel rush. In the meantime I decided I hated the character of Blair, where I had once loved him. It's only recently I've gotten back into it, though I still love dopey Jim.

Damn, Squidge is down again. I don't suppose you've got an alternative link, do you?

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

No, sorry! Wait for it, it's worth it.

It's okay, Squidge came back up this morning, and it was worth the wait :)
