True Confessions by T. Botta (PG)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Author Website: Terri Botta's Fanfiction
Why this must be read:
Poor Blair. In Sentinel fanon, he's often caught between the extreme personalities of his partner, Jim, and his mother, Naomi, and I think this excruciating moment of talk-show hell is one of the most compassionate takes on that strained balance I have ever seen. It's very easy for authors to solve the problem by making Naomi evil or selfish and writing her off. Terri, on the other hand, shows how Naomi could raise Blair to be the brilliant and compassionate person he is, but still leave gaps in his life that only Jim can fill.
