Sentinel Shift by Krisser (NC-17)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Unknown. You can find her fic at 852 Prospect.
Why this must be read: Because the first sex scene is so freaking hawt. Plot? Yeah, there's one of those too. Seems someone's stalking Blair. He starts receiving threatening letters and packages. Jim becomes increasing protective, and when Blair receives a particularly personal "gift" from his stalker, Jim reverts completely to primitive!Sentinel. He's crazed with the need to get the stalker's offending odor off of his guide and starts rubbing and licking and whew...is it hot in here?
But it was when his guide arched up to him that all control went off the scale. His guide wanted him to claim him. He roared in delight. He roughly started licking behind the ears, he drank in the scent. He nipped and bit along the jaw line and froze as he saw the deep bite mark. He sniffed it and recognized his saliva, he licked it and resumed his nibbling.
The guide understood that his Sentinel had very little if any control left. He wanted Jim to take him, but didn't want to be hurt. It would be unpleasant and later it would bother Jim greatly. So Blair arched up his neck and exposed it fully. A move to signal his submission to his mate. Sandburg hoped that would trigger the desire to couple and allow him to be taken more gently.
The Sentinel did recognize the move. His guide wanted to be his mate, willingly. Yes. All mine. No one else will touch him. He purred as he licked and nipped the neck and chest. He washed the armpits fully. As he worked his way down to the navel, he felt tender caresses on his back. His guide was touching him. A joy spread through him.
The sheer, erotic imagery of Jim as cat (panther), licking and sucking and biting his mate is enough to suck me in. But, there's also an interesting plot and some wonderful angst -- does Jim really love and want Blair or is he just temporarily in thrall to his primitive instincts? Read it and find out.
Sentinel Shift
ETA: I like this fic A LOT. However, in the interests of full disclosure and to prevent readers from feeling they were misled, I feel I should acknowledge the writing style is a bit florid. Unnecessary and potentially distracting epithets are plentiful and IMHO, Jim's transitions from single-minded primitive!Sentinel to "normal" Jim and back are too convenient. If you're the type of reader who can't overlook a few imperfections, this fic is probably not for you. I love it though.

I've never been a reader who's unable to overlook and forgive the bad, when there's so much good to be had. Jim as out-of-control primitive!Sentinel, marking and claiming his guide, possessive!Jim, and the angst...what can I say? This is definitely a button fic for me. Sometimes you gotta take the bad with the good.
