Hi, Callisto here. It's my second time driving The Sentinel, and I'm looking forward to the chance to reread and share some more favourites.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 36k
Author on LJ: resonant8 and kassrachel
Author Website: Trickster (Kass) Trickster (Res)
Why this must be read:

Because of the banter, man, the banter. If ever I need a shot of razor sharp wit Jim and Blair style, Resonant is one of the writers I turn to. I adore in-character back and forth, and this delightful story has it in spades. Blair thinks he’s discovered something new about Walt Whitman, whereas in truth he ends up discovering something about himself and his own senses – care of Jim, a blindfold, and a gorgeously HOT first time scene.

Banter, blindfolds and Whitman... it doesn’t get much better than this.

"Do you suppose Whitman could have been a Sentinel, Jim?"

"Do I think who was a what?"

"Whitman. Walt. You know, the poet--"

"Anthropologists are reading poetry now? Did they discover a colony of poets in South America, all squatting around campfires in loincloths and --"

"Fuck you," Blair said, looking up from the book and grinning. "Shauna lent it to me. I thought it would be a nice gesture to, like, actually read it. But it's really good, it's a lot better than I expected."

"'Leaves of Grass.' Isn't that the one Clinton ..."

"Yeah, OK, Jim, let's not make this any more tawdry than it already is, all right?"

Oh the banter! Isn't that the pull of the show, after all? And what a great example of it. Super rec -- I had to re-read it and remember all over again why it's such a good, hot story.

It's a great little story, and I was delighted to find it hadn't been recc'ed before!
