Beach House by LKY (PG)

Hi, I'm snycock, and I'm going to be driving the van for The Sentinel this month. I'm usually an inveterate slash reader, but there's been a call recently in the fandom to rec more gen stories, and I find that quite a few of my favorites fit that bill. I'm sure I'll be reccing some slash before the month is out, however.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: none, gen
Length: 258 kb
Author on LJ: lky
Author Website: Tales by LKY
Why this must be read:

This was the first TS story I ever read, I think, and it completely sucked me into the fandom. LKY's characterization of Jim and Blair is just perfect, and the friendship between them is lovely - warm and tender and caring without being too mushy or parental. There's an engrossing case (even though the boys are supposed to be on vacation, recuperating!), Blair using his brain, Jim using his hands, and a nice healthy dose of H/C. All in all a great read and one of my all-time favorites.

Great rec. LKY is one of the treasures in TS fandom. She alwasy delivers and I'm thrilled whenever a new story shows up.

Looking forward to your turn at the wheel. I'm bifictional but I love a good gen story best of all. I feel sorry for the readers who declare they will only read slash - they miss so many wonderful stories.

Thanks, I'm glad you thought so! I was a little surprised that it hadn't been recced already, but I was glad to get the chance to present it.

I'm going to try very hard to do all gen recs this month... we'll see if I can do it. :-)
