I hesistate to recommend another SG1 crossover -- it’s probably the most prevalent cross with The Sentinel. However, I’ve loved this story for a long time and couldn’t let it pass without recommendation. It starts with a lesson in quantum physics (and, yes, Sam Beckett gets mentioned!). Colonel Jim Ellison and Dr. Blair Sandburg, both of SG1, come through the Stargate, much to the consternation of Hammond and company. It is shortly revealed that they are from an alternate dimension (alternity); one where the Goa’uld defeated Earth and its allies. They have been moving from alternity to alternity, trying to keep the same fate from happening elsewhere. They eagerly share their knowledge and advanced technology, with only a few conditions. One is that SGC does not contact the Jim and Blair of this world.  But unbeknownst to anyone at Cheyenne Mountain, a link has developed between the Jims and Blairs. . .

Cascade, Washington

Detective Jim Ellison was halfway down the stairs that led from his loft bedroom before he was awake enough to know that he was moving. Gun in hand, he headed straight for his partner's room, not even knowing why he had to get there, only that he would go through anything or anyone that tried to get in his way. A heartbeat later, nearly at the door, he could hear Blair's breathing change and caught a subtle shift in scent that he associated with his roomie being in pain. His senses told him that no one else was in their apartment, and he lowered his weapon a bit, reaching for the handle to the French door as a sudden flurry of sounds indicating motion inside hit his ears.

That fractional warning was all he had; a split second later, Blair hurled himself through the door, stumbling into his partner and automatically throwing up his hands to catch himself before he fell, latching onto Jim's arms just above the elbow. Jim returned the grip as best he could with one hand occupied.

"Sandburg! What?" he demanded.

"Jim! Where'd you come from?" Blair asked in confusion, eyes blinking as he tried to adjust to the early morning light.

"The stork brought me," he snapped. "A better question might be where you're going in such a hurry dressed in just your skivvies."

"Going?" Slowly, Blair looked around the room, taking it in as if he'd never seen it before. "Pain," he muttered thoughtfully. "I was hurting, like someone dipped me in fire, and I had to, I had to...." His voice trailed off uncertainly. "Did I scream or something?"

"No.... I...." Jim stopped, not sure how to explain. There was something tugging at him, disturbing his senses in a way that he could hardly perceive, let alone describe.

"Jim?" Trying to ease away, Blair released his hold, but Jim tightened his own.

"No, stay," he ordered, trying not to bite out the words. Fighting to keep his tone reasonable, he added, "Last time things got weird I pushed you away when I should have gathered you in close. That's one mistake I don't want to repeat."

This is a substantial story. It has the technology and action you expect from SG1, along with familiar players like the Tok’ra and the Goa’uld. It has the mysticism and rapport you expect from The Sentinel, as well as the senses. It has love, requited and unrequited, sad endings and hopeful beginnings.  Give it a read but fair warning that you might need some tissues – I did.
