Why this must be read: I discovered this story on one of those monthly visits to Bright Shiny Objects on a lazy Saturday morning when I was just looking for something to kill a little time.

I emerged from the story a few hours later with a new favorite story. Or, at least, a new favorite crossover. This is an amazing story. It's wonderfully written with great character interaction. The great thing is how believable this story is in the context of the two universes. And the believability adds to the creepiness factor which is up there to begin with.

Speaking as someone with limited experience with The Sentinel, Jim and Blair are easily accessible and I believe it works the other way around. But while you don't need much knowledge about the respective fandoms, knowledge doesn't hurt either. There's no painful exposition here. In my opinion, reaching that balance is one of the most important elements of a good crossover.

"Lovely" definitely works for those who are familiar with The Sentinel but not SG1. In fact, this story was my gateway drug for SG1 fandom.

She's on lj as soulcake, I believe. :)

Yes indeed she is, and she's writing a sequel, too!
