Why this must be read:


There are numerous reasons to rec this fic: it's well-written and plotty omega!verse, it has Stiles and Derek meeting as kids, Lydia is included as a member of the (living) Hale family, etc. However, I really loved this fic for its realistic touches, which I realize sounds absurd when I'm talking about omega!verse and werewolves but bear with me. Unloyal_Ohio actually provides some critical examination of the social justice issues inherent in an omega!verse AU. Lydia and Stiles (the omegas in the listed pairings) are both aware of and struggle with the power dynamics of their inherently unbalanced relationships. Stiles and Derek's relationship isn't easy and they have to work through their issues from two different culturally-constructed perspectives, but that's what I found so refreshing about this fic. And if all that sounds too serious, maybe I can entice you with the idea of Lydia and Stiles vlogging for omega rights?

05:44 am Sentinel, Interrupted by Elaine
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 30,000 words

Why this must be read: - In a universe where sentinels and guides are known, Naomi does not want her three-year-old son to be a guide... and Jim lets Blair go. And Blair forgets... for years.

Deprived of his guide, Jim spends those years sedated and restrained. And then Blair finds him again - but also finds that for some reason the doctors aren't willing to accept that Blair can pull Jim back to 'reality'. In addition, Jim is blind...

This is a complete AU in that Jim is not a cop and there is no mention of any other canon characters apart from Naomi and Incacha. It does belong in the 'sentinels and guides are controlled by Authority' category. Elaine's handling of the story is deft and for me very satisfying.
