Wine, Women and Schlong by Brighid (Rating PG)

Hello, my name is Kathleen and I will be your Sentinel rec driver for May.

Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: J/B
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] brighidestone
Author Website: The Brighid E. Stone Memorial Reading Room
Why this must be read:

Brighid has managed to find the perfect blend of sweetness and humor in this gem of a story. She has not only flawlessly captured Blair's voice but has nailed the way Jim communicates (not through words but through his actions). Watching Blair's slow realization that he and Jim have been married for eighteen months and he was the last to know is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Her own summary for the story: Blair gets locked *in* a closet and then has to get back out...

ETA: Link to story: Wine, Women and Schlong

Be sure to leave feedback for the author if you enjoyed the story.

Very cute, very clever story. Thanks for the rec.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I highly recommend all of Brighid's stories. Her fairy tale stories are very lyrical.

That's a wonderful story. Great rec. :)

Hey hon. I'm glad you liked it. If you like that one, you should try her others:

http://www.squidge.org/archive/cgi-bin/search.cgi?ShortResults=0&Title=&Author=Brighid&Summary=&Date=0&SortBy=0&SortOrder=0&NumToList=0&FastSearch=0

I was torn between reccing this one and her "Imagine My Surprise".

Her fairy tales are also really lyrical.

Oh dude, I love her stories and have read them all. My favorite is probably "Skin." I seriously love that one. And you're absolutely right: Her writing truly is lyrical. Annoyingly, it's even gorgeous in throw away LJ comments. Hee.

Okay, there's obviously a story link here, since people have commented on the story, but I've looked and looked and can't find the title or link. Help?

*grin*

My most sincere apologies. I can't believe I forgot the link. All that time fretting over the review and I forgot the most elemental part of it. Sheesh!

lol!! Okay, first, I'm glad there actually *wasn't* a link. I just thought I was going nuts.

Second, why is it that I never ever read subject lines? I looked and looked for a story title in that post.

Ich bin ein dork! But you have lovely taste in fic--Brighid is wonderful, and I love that story. TS was my first big fandom.

I loved this story, thank for the rec! I'm off to read the rest of Brighid's stuff now.

Brighid has the most lyrical way of writing. I guarantee you'll love all her other stories as well.
