The Sentinel’s Rules for Dating the Guide by Diana Williams (R)

[magician113.livejournal.com]

Well, it’s my sister’s birthday today. And, apparently, it’s also Chris Columbus’ – the explorer, not the director! Let’s celebrate!

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Blair/mmmmmmm, Blair/Jim
Length: 5K words
Author on LJ:   dkwilliams
Author Website: Diana’s Fiction

Why this must be read: Just a little snort-worthy piece based on two TS fanon concepts: Jim is a mother hen *and* Jim is secretly pining for Blair. TS is not Diana’s main fandom. She’s written only two stories and done one vid **(“This Kiss”, recced here last year). This cute story has Jim inspecting Blair’s various dates and finding fault with them all. What a surprise!


###############
Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes to big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of your date with my Guide, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Blair looked up from where he was kneeling next to his date, now stretched out on the living room floor, unconscious. "What happened, Jim?"

Jim shrugged. "Hell if I know, Chief. One moment we were discussing what passes for college fashion these days while waiting for you to finish getting ready, and I offered to show him a way to keep those trousers from falling off. I stood up to fetch a belt from my room and he took a nose-dive on the floor. Must be some kind of medical condition." He carefully set down his nail gun on the cabinet he was assembling. "You might think twice about going out with this guy, Sandburg - what if that happened while he was driving?"
 
I think I like Rule #8 best. Rafe has a great line. Enjoy! Send feedback!

The Sentinel’s Rules for Dating the Guide

**Update:  I stand corrected.  Diana has done quite a few Sentinel vids and they are available on DVDs at her site.  This Kiss is the only online vid.  Sorry I was confused!

Ummm... I have a DVD with 11 Sentinel vids on it, all made by Diana. There's a link to her vids DVDs on her website. It's worth buying, if just for "Don't Speak" which is one of the most awesome Sentinel vids ever IMO.
Off to read the story now, thanks for posting.

Thanks for the correction. I'd only seen her downloadable vids page and, sadly, This Kiss is the only Sentinel vid there. I found the site where you can order the DVDs -- sounds excellent and very reasonably priced.

I hope you enjoy the story.
