Words spoken in winter by Grit Kitty - NC 17
Fandom: The Sentinel
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: http://bifictionalbedlam.slashcity.net/guests/gritkitty.htm
Why this must be read:
This is an extrapolation from canon I can really see. The author took canon facts and details and run with it, starting with a typical canon-like situation: Blair sees a girl more or less regularly but they aren't all that serious. It develops into a competition between Blair and Jim and from there in a competition between the girlfriend and Jim with Blair as the "prize". I know, this doesn't sound as if it could happen in a "canon"-universe but Grit Kitty made me see how this could have happened and really, suddenly it isn't such a stretch anymore.
Very good how she shows Jim's feelings and perceptions after the Laura-incident made him aware of other people's pheromones. She compares this reaction to other reactions he had, regarding sensory awareness and shows beautifully how this affects Jim's thoughts and how he tries to deal with it. Grit Kitty is very good with showing us what's going on in Jim and Blair's minds, using carefully chosen words and lovely details. But she doesn't write "sweet", a big plus because it makes the story much more "real". She has a real knack for "showing" what the reader is supposed to "get" instead of plainly telling it.
Yes, there's a threesome scene in it and so far the only one in TS-fandom that ever worked for me, because, in the end, Blair's girlfriend is the catalyst that makes it possible for Jim and Blair to get together. It wasn't exactly her intention but that's the outcome of her actions.
