Sometimes Merging by Spyke (NC-17)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Jim Ellison/Blair Sandburg
Length: 5K
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Spyke at 852 Prospect
Why this must be read: This is one of my favorite stories and the perfect intro to this month's theme: Jim's heightened senses. Reality is shaped by what we can perceive and Jim simply 'sees' more than standard humans can. Spyke does an amazing job of conveying just how different Jim's reality is. This story, more than any other, has shaped my awareness of the possibilities in writing Sentinel fan fiction. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
/...merge.../
/The rise and fall of quicksilver atoms, the spread and conjunction of life against life. New buds open, old deconstruct and time has no meaning in the slip-slide of creation/
/Warmth, pressing sensation calling back from disparate harmony. Focus, re-enter dimension, let space retreat./
/Cells diminish into tissue; contrast soft, hard, elastic. Running veins throb beneath the surface - pull back, don't fall in./
/The world concentrates to a hand on a cheek, sharply defines then overflows/
**
I open my eyes.
**
The first thing I notice is the wind trying to blow through me.
The second is Blair doing his best to shelter me from it.
Blair is shorter than I am. It doesn't work.
It still feels great.
He smiles, and the hand cupping my cheek caresses gently.
"Welcome back Jim."
