Sweet Memory by Sasquash (NC-17)
Fandom: SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author Website: Story found here
Why this must be read:
In this story, Jim and Blair met years before when Lieutenant Ellison picked up a rain-soaked, hitchhiking teenager. What follows is a beautiful story of coming of age, finding love, finding yourself, memory and loss, which culminates in a rather brilliant playing out of first season canon to make this less of an AU and more of a might-have-been. Come read and get your heart broken.
"If I were in a situation like this..." the captain flashed a quick, hard smile that made it clear that he would never *be* in a situation like this, "I would choose to believe that I had passed through a phase of experimentation, led astray by a particularly attractive young man."
Wanting to protest, Jim held his tongue when Hguang frowned at him, warning him. "I would hope that my superior officers would understand this and keep all mention of it out of my file."
It was getting hard to breathe. Jim could just barely hear the words, then the tension eased.
"And if...by some twist of fate, some bizarre act of God, these feelings remained, I would wait until my time was up and then act on them in the safer environment of the civilian world."
Struggling not to heave too large a sigh, Jim managed to keep it quiet. "If an officer had to make a decision like that..." he said quietly, meeting the dark eyes, seeing not understanding, but the compassion he'd come to expect, there, Jim tried to phrase his request appropriately. "Would his commanding officer give him some time to think it over?"
