Why this must be read:
For anyone who is wondering, this is why there have been so few posts this month. Hopefully this won't put me too far over the story limit, but every story in this series is worth rec'ing.

This may be my favorite TS series. Jim and Blair find that a Sentinel really can't survive long term in a major city and move to a small town in rural Washington. The premise is intriguing and well thought out, the stories are quiet (at least for The Sentinal fandom, which tends towards the melodramatic) and beautifully written, and the plots explore an aspect of Jim and Blair's relationship that I think the show seriously short-changed: how do two people learn to live together for years, especially when one is a Sentinel? Add in a bevy of interesting and well developed OCs (Miss Lillian is my hero), hurt/comfort and angst galore, and a thought-provoking examination of Sentinels, Guides, and relationships, and you have the must-read series of the fandom.

Stories (in chronological order for series timeline):
Iceberg
I Still Believe
Pilgrimage
The First Annual Dorset County Folk Music Festival
The Greater Public Good
On the Way Home
Obscure Music

I've been looking for this series for an unbelievably long time, and had near given up. Thanks so much. This is a wonderfully understated story.

I have to admit I stumbled across it while essentially reading everything at 852prospect that was longer than 100 KB and boy was I thrilled with my find. Such a great series.
