The Clue in the Mystery by LKY (PG)

So sorry that I haven't been posting more frequently! I'll try to wrap up the month with a little more pedal to the metal.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim and Blair (this is gen, no actual pairing)
Length: 201kb
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lky
Author Website: Tales by LKY
Why this must be read:

I'm bifictional, and when I read gen stories I LOVE a strong brotherly relationship between Jim and Blair. LKY delivers among the best gen characterizations of Our Heroes in this fandom, IMHO. Her guys are both strong -- no wimpy Blair here, even though he's perfectly capable of tears. For that matter, her Jim is capable of tears when warranted, too. The relationship is definitely Big Brother/Little Brother, and her dialogue is superb. Good terse cop-talk, excellent teasing and banter, and the kind of love and affection you'd expect from brothers. She writes a darn good old-fashioned mystery, too, and this particular story encompasses all that is the best in her writing. There's a great plot, Blair is a true Trouble Magnet, and they totally have each other's back. Simon is a major player too -- he's like the Extra Big Brother that Blair would rather ditch sometimes than deal with. In fact... well, read it and see!
