Choosing Guides by Josephine Darcy (NC-17)
Hi! I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluebrocade, and I'll be your Sentinel driver for April. My recs will be primarily J/B slash first-time stories. Angst, discovery!fics, humor and jealousy/possessiveness will be heavily featured. Enjoy!
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Josephine's Place
Why this must be read: One of the 'ol standby clichés in Sentinel slash fanfic is 'the sentinel and guide must have sex.' There are dozens of stories centered around this beloved cliché. This is one of my favorites. Blair determines that after three years, it just isn't going to happen. He puts aside his own feelings and tries to be professional about it; he prepares several dossiers on more "suitable" guides for Jim and presents them to him one morning. Jim thinks he's lost his mind. Angst and discovery ensue.
"Jesus, Sandburg!" Jim exploded. He motioned toward all the photos spread out before him. "Are you telling me that you want me to have sex with all these people?"
"Not all of them, Jim!" Blair exclaimed. "You only need one Guide for God's sake. Don't be greedy, man. And besides, it's not like that--you'll have to court them, of course."
"Court them?"
"Yeah," Blair nodded. "They won't be easy like I was."
"You were easy?"
Blair's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe Jim was disagreeing with him. Jim couldn't believe it either--especially since he hadn't a clue what Sandburg was talking about. "Yeah, Jim, I was. The first day you met me you threw me up against a wall in my office and called me a neo-hippy witch doctor punk, and I still agreed to be your Guide. I'd say that was easy--pathetically so. Which might explain why we're having this conversation in the first place. But I wouldn't really worry about the courtship thing--just turn on the old Ellison charm and they'll be eating of your hands. Which brings me to the last bit of business...that's what all these other papers are."
