Conjunction by Fluterbev (NC-17)
Fandom: SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author Website: Fluterbev's Ephemera
Why this must be read:
A number of fantastic authors took up the challenge to write a story to commemorate Sentinel's ten-year anniversary. Fluterbev's contribution just blew me away. Blair went missing right after the press conference, and Jim's spent the intervening years looking for him. But what he finds isn't at all what he expected.
Jim continued to search in his own time, but he toned it down, recognizing that his obsession with finding Blair was doing neither himself nor the department any good. Instead, he followed up the sparse leads he'd gotten sporadically, then reduced his activities to once a month, then every six months. Then, three years ago, he'd made the decision to limit himself to a database search just once a year.
He had chosen, instead of the date in early June that Blair had disappeared, to run it on the anniversary of the day they met - March 21st. The date that Blair had impersonated a doctor, confronted Jim with the reality of what he was, and saved his life. It seemed, somehow, more hopeful to focus on a date which had such positive connotations, rather than one so strongly associated with loss.
Now, logging into the PD system, and setting the parameters to seek any mention of Sandburg, Blair, Jim set the first of his planned database searches running; then went to get a cup of coffee.
This was going to be a long - and no doubt fruitless - night.
Rubbing his eyes tiredly as he walked back from the break room five minutes later, Jim sat down and took a sip of the too-hot coffee. Glancing blearily back at the computer screen, his heart almost stopped in shock when he saw the words flashing on the screen.
Match found.
