When One Door Closes by Rhianne (FRC)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: rhianne
Author Website: Hidden Muse
Why this must be read: I like this story because the author acknowledges that in the real world, Jim wouldn't be able to go back to work and have the world forget about the Sentinel story. How would Jim deal with it and with the guilt of knowing he's ruined Blair's life...even if Blair doesn't see it that way.

Excerpt:

But in spite of all that he couldn't see a way that they could work this out. Working with Jim had destroyed everything Blair had been, until there was almost nothing left of the excitable, outgoing man who had pushed the sentinel out of the way of a garbage truck all those years ago. No-one could live in the world Jim inhabited and not be damaged by it, and seeing the physical proof of just how much Blair had been changed by riding with Jim was too much. It had to end, but at least this way, they could say goodbye.
