Hi, I'm snycock, and I'm back to drive The Sentinel van for September! The last time I had the keys, I was on a gen binge, but this time I'll be reccing a mix of gen and slash.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: pre-slash (Jim/Blair)
Length: almost 400k
Author on LJ: gillyp
Author Website: temporarily down, but you can find her stories here
Why this must be read:

This is an AU that starts at the beginning of the fourth season. Blair survived his ordeal at the fountain, but walked away from the hospital one night eight months ago, and hasn't been seen since. Jim is convinced that he's still alive, and in trouble somewhere, and he won't stop searching for him, even if it means his job. How he finds Blair, and what happened to him, is a wonderfully engrossing tale. But don't start reading too late at night - you won't be able to stop until you get to the end! If you like angst and hurt/comfort, then this is the story for you. Here's an excerpt to tempt you:



It was the first time since Blair had left. Last time he was here, he'd killed his partner. Then the dream came true, and he never dreamed of the blue jungle again.

And Blair was here! The real Blair, not the wolf - not his animal spirit. This was Blair the man; alive, thin - too thin, but healthy. His hair was a little shorter, but it shone, the curls bounced. His skin glowed, he positively vibrated with life. He was dressed in what looked like pajamas or hospital scrubs; the blue complementing his eyes which were laughing and joyous as he drew pictures in the sand on the far shore of a lagoon, the surrounding jungle and snow capped mountains reflected in its deep, blue waters. On one side, a waterfall crashed over high, steep rocks. The place had an ethereal beauty; a disturbing loveliness that seemed not of this world. That scared Jim. Was this a vision of some afterlife? Was Blair dead after all?



And don't forget to check out the slash sequel, Angel Dust.
