Twice Again by Ysone (G)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing:
Jim and Blair
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author website: Ysone's Fanfic

Why this must be read:
I could rec any one of Ysone’s wonderful stories, she’s probably my favourite gen writer, but this is the one I come back to again and again. It’s a tale of high angst (you’ll be seeing a lot of angst rec’d this month, I am a dreadful angst monkey); an AU in the bonding fic/ GDP type universe, but less physically brutal; there’s no forced bonding or enslavement of Guides in Ysone’s story.

Blair is a Guide who has been officially shunned and marked; his life in ruins and living on the street. He’s taken up by a desperate Jim who needs a temporary Guide, intending to get rid of Blair as soon as he can.

You can probably guess what happens next – there are few surprises in that respect, but this story is so very well written and Jim and Blair’s slowly developing relationship so beautifully portrayed  – it’s just full to the brim with delicious angst and smarm and I just can’t rec this story too highly.
