On a Good Day by Arduinna - NC 17

Fandom: The Sentinel
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://trickster.org/arduinna/omnium.html
Why this must be read:

You know, the real problem with TS-fandom is not to find stories good enough to rec but to find stories which aren't already recced a zillion times before. So I try to stick to two rules here: not to rec an author who already has been mentioned by another member before (because, if you like one story of an author you'll most likely take a look at his/her other work too) and not to rec a story I saw already recommended on at least three different other sites.

And I'll privately give myself additional bonus-points if I manage to find a good story which isn't already on 852 Prospect.

This story was published in the Crossroads-Zine. It has good characterization, voices and dialogue that ring true and a Jim who tries to live with a vulnerable spot in his soul without letting it out. Unexpected "help" for Jim develops from the accidental death of a little green "guy". No, it's not an AU, it's a perfect canon-situation. It's a story that doesn't "sound" tender, regarding dialogue and the way the guys handle each other, but "is" tender in it's meaning, a mix I really appreciate and like in a story.

On a Good Day
