Overload by Zelempa (NC-17)

Pairing: Jim/Blair
Length: 17,248 words

Why this must be read:

This is such a great fic, in so many ways. It's set right after Sentoo Part 2, and it deals with what happens when Jim overloads in the same way that Alex did. The description of Blair taking care of Jim and Blair's subsequent anguish are heartbreaking and wonderful, and Zelempa does an amazing job of getting into Blair's head. I also love love *love* how thought-provoking it is about the relationship between sentinels and their guides, and I would love to see a continuation of this story! (Just had to get that in there. *g*)

I highly recommend this story, whether or not you typically read "Sentinel-Guide" stories. But be warned, you may want tissues!

It was times like these when he seemed almost there, when Blair began to think he could snap him out of it if he just tried hard enough. He'd whisper intently into his ear, sometimes for hours at a time: "C'mon, Jim. Come back to me. Follow my voice..." The good times were worse than the bad, in that way, because it always seemed--it always so seemed!--like that would work.

Really great fic. I've never read anything like it before. Any idea when it was written?
