Five Things Simon Banks Never Asked For by Wordwitch (G)

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: none
Length: short story
Author on LJ:  [livejournal.com profile] wordwitch
Author Website: LJ and at 852 Prospect

Why this must be read:  Because although our fandom focuses on Jim and Blair, Simon is the unsung hero that allows them to function.

A new LJ popped up this year that spotlights stories that are not J/B-centric. [livejournal.com profile] ts_allstars  is a gathering place for the other characters to strut their stuff.  It’s there that I found this lovely Simon story.

Would another captain have allowed our two heroes to flourish as they do in the series?  I don’t think so and neither does Wordwitch. This deceptively simple story is full of humor, poignancy and warmth. We get insight into why Simon is so successful:  His innate personality coupled with the ability to use the advantages he’s been given.

I hope you enjoy these “Simon slices” as much as I do. Let Wordwitch know!
