Why this must be read:

Due to its premise, The Sentinel tends to get crossed over a lot with military or cop-type shows (SG-1, Mag7, Pros, S&H). I'm always on the lookout for interesting and novel crossovers in this fandom, and this lovely, heartrending piece certainly fits the bill. Jim visits the blue jungle, where he is greeted by a unexpected but compelling visitor.

Excerpt:

"The thing sitting next to the jaguar is utterly strange; pure white skin and rich satin black untouched by blue. It’s a girl, he thinks. Her luminous hand scratches comfortably behind the jaguar’s ears, and its purr shakes the air. Before he can decide what this means, or draw his bow to shoot his enemy down, she glances in his direction. “Hi, Jim.”"
