Lucidity, by Kitty (G)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim and Blair
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author website: Sentinel Smarm Sanctuary

Why this must be read:

Jim is attacked and dying. Blair stays to guard and defend him against a deranged killer, refusing to leave Jim’s side and save himself, despite Jim’s assurance that he is going to die.

I love the writing; the emotion, the angst – especially Blair’s as he watches Jim slowly slipping away from him; intense and beautifully done, as is the description of the unexpressed depth of feeling each has for the other, and the regret each has that there's so much that they'll never get to say and do...

OK, be warned, the smarm rating is high!  So much so, if this were my story, I’d class it as pre-slash, because if ever a story screamed out for a hot slash epilogue, it’s this one!

I love this story - it's one of my big favourites back from when I first started reading TS fic. Thanks for reminding me of it - it's ages since I re-read it :-)

Me too. I re-read it for the first time in years last week and knew it had to be rec'd!
