Light Up My Room by The Amazing Maurice (Teen)

Hi there! I'm snycock, and I'll be driving the van... er, that is, Jim's beloved '69 Ford truck... for June.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim/Blair

Why this must be read:

What happens when Blair-the-cop has to fire his weapon in the line of duty is a frequent trope in this fandom, and the takes on it are many and varied. I think this one is particularly good because it combines a wry sense of humor with poignant imagery and clever writing. Have an excerpt:

"There was an elephant in the kitchen; sometimes Jim was forced to acknowledge it, even if Blair wouldn't, couldn't. There was something between them, huge and frightening and totally unknown. He couldn't name it. Okay, he could, but calling it love was like saying the ocean was a body of water."
